Zechariah 4

1 The angel who talked with me came again, and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep.

١ وَرَجَعَ مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي يُكَلِّمُنِي وَأَيْقَظَنِي كَمَا يُوْقَظُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ،

2 He said to me, "What do you see?" I said, "I have seen, and look, a lampstand all of gold, with its bowl on the top of it, and its seven lamps thereon; there are seven pipes to each of the lamps, which are on the top of it;

٢ وَسَأَلَنِي: «مَاذَا تَرَى؟» فَأَجَبْتُ: «أَرَى مَنَارَةً مَصُوغَةً كُلُّهَا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، عَلَى رَأْسِهَا صَحْنٌ قَائِمٌ، عَلَيْهِ سَبْعَةُ سُرُجٍ، مُتَّصِلَةٍ بِسَبْعِ أَنَابِيبَ مِنْ أَعْلَى

3 and two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on the left side of it."

٣ يَنْتَصِبُ إِلَى جِوَارِهَا زَيْتُونَتَانِ إِحْدَاهُمَا عَنْ يَمِينِ الصَّحْنِ وَالأُخْرَى عَنْ يَسَارِهِ».

4 I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, "What are these, my lord?"

٤ ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُ الْمَلاكَ: «مَا هَذِهِ يَا سَيِّدِي؟»

5 Then the angel who talked with me answered me, "Do you not know what these are?" I said, "No, my lord."

٥ فَأَجَابَنِي: «أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ مَا هَذِهِ؟» فَقُلْتُ: «لا يَا سَيِّدِي».

6 Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, "This is the word of Jehovah to Zerubbabel, saying, 'Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says Jehovah of hosts.

٦ فَقَالَ: «هَذِهِ رِسَالَةُ الرَّبِّ إِلَى زَرُبَّابِلَ: لَا بِالْقُدْرَةِ وَلا بِالْقُوَّةِ، وَلَكِنْ بِرُوحِي تُفْلِحُونَ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ.

7 Who are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you are a plain; and he will bring out the capstone with shouts of 'Grace, grace, to it.'"

٧ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ أَنْتَ أَيُّهَا الْجَبَلُ الْعَظِيمُ؟ أَنْتَ سَهْلٌ أَمَامَ زَرُبَّابِلَ، وَسَيَضَعُ زَرُبَّابِلُ حَجَرَ الزَّاوِيَةِ فِي خِضَمِّ هُتَافِ الْقَائِلِينَ: لِيُبَارِكْهُ، لِيُبَارِكْهُ الرَّبُّ».

8 Moreover the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

٨ ثُمَّ أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ إِلَيَّ بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَائِلاً:

9 "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands shall also finish it; and you will know that Jehovah of hosts has sent me to you.

٩ «قَدْ أَسَّسَتْ يَدَا زَرُبَّابِلَ هَذَا الْهَيْكَلَ، وَيَدَاهُ تُكَمِّلانِ بِنَاءَهُ، فَتُدْرِكُ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ الْقَدِيرَ قَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكُمْ.

10 Indeed, who despises the day of small things? For these seven shall rejoice, and shall see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. These are the eyes of Jehovah, which run back and forth through the whole earth."

١٠ مَنْ يَزْدَرِي بِيَوْمِ الإِنْجَازَاتِ الصَّغِيرَةِ؟ يَفْرَحُ الرِّجَالُ حِينَ يُشَاهِدُونَ مِيزَانَ الْبِنَاءِ فِي يَدِ زَرُبَّابِلَ، وَهَذِهِ السَّبْعَةُ هِيَ أَعْيُنُ الرَّبِّ الْجَائِلَةُ فِي كُلِّ الأَرْضِ».

11 Then I asked him, "What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lampstand and on the left side of it?"

١١ ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُهُ: «مَا هَاتَانِ الزَّيْتُونَتَانِ الْقَائِمَتَانِ عَنْ يَمِينِ الْمَنَارَةِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهَا؟

12 I asked him the second time, "What are these two olive branches, which are beside the two golden spouts, that pour the golden oil out of themselves?"

١٢ وَمَا غُصْنَا الزَّيْتُونِ هَذَانِ الْمُنْتَصِبَانِ إِلَى جُوَارِ أُنْبُوبَتَيِ الذَّهَبِ، اللَّتَيْنِ تَصُبَّانِ الزَّيْتَ الذَّهَبِيَّ؟»

13 He answered me, "Do you not know what these are?" I said, "No, my lord."

١٣ فَأَجَابَنِي: «أَلا تَعْلَمُ مَا هَاتَانِ؟» فَقُلْتُ: «لا يَا سَيِّدِي».

14 Then he said, "These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth."

١٤ فَقَالَ: «هَاتَانِ تُمَثِّلانِ الْمَمْسُوحَيْنِ بِالزَّيْتِ اللَّذَيْنِ يَمْثُلانِ لَدَى رَبِّ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا».
