Zacharie 4
1 Et l'ange qui parlait avec moi revint, et il me réveilla, et je fus comme un homme éveillé de son sommeil.
And the angel who had been speaking with me returned, and he awakened me, like a man who is awakened from his sleep.
2 Et il me dit: Vois-tu? Et je dis: J'ai vu; voilà un chandelier tout d'or, et dessus un lampion et sept lampes, et sept burettes à verser l'huile, pour les sept lampes qui sont sur le chandelier;
And he said to me, “What do you see?” And I said, “I looked, and behold, a candlestick entirely in gold, and its lamp was at its top, and seven oil lamps of it were upon it, and there were seven funnels for the oil lamps that were at its top.
3 et au-dessus de lui deux oliviers, l'un à droite du lampion, l'autre à gauche.
And there were two olive trees upon it: one to the right of the lamp, and one to its left.”
4 Et je questionnai, et je parlai à l'ange qui était avec moi, disant: Qu'est-ce que cela, Seigneur?
And I answered and spoke to the angel who was speaking with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?”
5 Et l'ange qui était avec moi répondit, et il me parla, disant: Tu ne sais pas ce que c'est? Et je repris: Nullement, Seigneur.
And the angel who was speaking with me answered, and he said to me, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.”
6 Et il reprit, et il me parla, disant: C'est la parole du Seigneur à Zorobabel, disant: Il te faut non une grande puissance, ni la force, mais Mon Esprit, dit le Seigneur tout-puissant.
And he answered and spoke to me, saying: This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying: Not by an army, nor by might, but in my spirit, says the Lord of hosts.
7 Qui es-tu pour prospérer, ô grande montagne que Je vois devant Zorobabel? Or Je transporterai la pierre de l'héritage, dont la grâce égale Ma grâce.
What are you, great mountain, in the sight of Zerubbabel? You are among the plains. And he will lead out the primary stone, and he will give equal grace to its grace.
8 Et la parole du Seigneur me vint; disant:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
9 Les mains de Zorobabel ont fondé ce temple, et ses mains l'achèveront; et tu connaîtras que le Seigneur tout-puissant m'a envoyé à toi.
The hand of Zerubbabel has founded this house, and his hands will complete it. And you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you.
10 Car qui a méprisé le temple dans les mauvais jours? Or on se réjouira, et on verra Zorobabel le plomb à la main. Ces sept yeux sont ceux qui regardent la terre.
For who has despised the little days? And they will rejoice and will see the silver and lead stone in the hand of Zerubbabel. These are the seven eyes of the Lord, which roam quickly through all the earth.
11 Et je parlai, et je lui dis: Qu'en est-il de ces deux oliviers, à la droite du chandelier et à sa gauche?
And I responded and said to him, “What are these two olive trees to the right of the candlestick, and to its left?”
12 Je pris une seconde fois la parole et je lui dis: Que sont ces deux rameaux d'olivier, à côté des deux becs de lampe où coule l'huile des sept burettes d'or?
And I responded a second time and said to him, “What are the two olive branches, which are next to the two golden ridges, in which are the pouring spouts of gold?”
13 Et il me répondit: Tu ne sais pas ce que c'est? et je répondis: Nullement, Seigneur.
And he spoke to me, saying, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.”
14 Et il dit: Ce sont les deux fils de l'onction qui se tiennent auprès du Seigneur de toute la terre.
And he said, “These are the two sons of oil, who attend before the Sovereign of all the earth.”
