< زَكَريَّا 4 >

فَرَجَعَ ٱلْمَلَاكُ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي وَأَيْقَظَنِي كَرَجُلٍ أُوقِظَ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ. ١ 1
Then the angel who was talking with me turned and roused me like a man roused from his sleep.
وَقَالَ لِي: «مَاذَا تَرَى؟» فَقُلْتُ: «قَدْ نَظَرْتُ وَإِذَا بِمَنَارَةٍ كُلُّهَا ذَهَبٌ، وَكُوزُهَا عَلَى رَأْسِهَا، وَسَبْعَةُ سُرُجٍ عَلَيْهَا، وَسَبْعُ أَنَابِيبَ لِلسُّرْجِ ٱلَّتِي عَلَى رَأْسِهَا. ٢ 2
He said to me, “What do you see?” I said, “I see a lampstand made entirely of gold, with a bowl on its top. It has seven lamps on it and seven lamp wicks at the top of each lamp.
وَعِنْدَهَا زَيْتُونَتَانِ، إِحْدَاهُمَا عَنْ يَمِينِ ٱلْكُوزِ، وَٱلْأُخْرَى عَنْ يَسَارِهِ». ٣ 3
Two olive trees are by it, one on the right side of the bowl and the other on the left side.”
فَأَجَبْتُ وَقُلْتُ لِلْمَلَاكِ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي قَائِلًا: «مَا هَذِهِ يَا سَيِّدِي؟» ٤ 4
So I spoke again to the angel who was talking with me. I said, “What do these things mean, my master?”
فَأَجَابَ ٱلْمَلَاكُ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَنِي وَقَالَ لِي: «أَمَا تَعْلَمُ مَا هَذِهِ؟» فَقُلْتُ: «لَا يَا سَيِّدِي». ٥ 5
The angel who was talking with me answered and said to me, “Do you not know what these things mean?” I said, “No, my master.”
فَأَجَابَ وَكَلَّمَنِي قَائِلًا: «هَذِهِ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى زَرُبَّابِلَ قَائِلًا: لَا بِٱلْقُدْرَةِ وَلَا بِٱلْقُوَّةِ، بَلْ بِرُوحِي قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. ٦ 6
So he said to me, “This is the word of Yahweh to Zerubbabel: Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit, says Yahweh of hosts.
مَنْ أَنْتَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْجَبَلُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ؟ أَمَامَ زَرُبَّابِلَ تَصِيرُ سَهْلًا! فَيُخْرِجُ حَجَرَ ٱلزَّاوِيَةِ بَيْنَ ٱلْهَاتِفِينَ: كَرَامَةً، كَرَامَةً لَهُ». ٧ 7
What are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain, and he will bring out the top stone to shouts of 'Grace! Grace to it!'”
وَكَانَتْ إِلَيَّ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: ٨ 8
The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
«إِنَّ يَدَيْ زَرُبَّابِلَ قَدْ أَسَّسَتَا هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتَ، فَيَدَاهُ تُتَمِّمَانِهِ، فَتَعْلَمُ أَنَّ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكُمْ». ٩ 9
“The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house and his hands will bring it to completion.” Then you will know that Yahweh of hosts has sent me to you.
لِأَنَّهُ مَنِ ٱزْدَرَى بِيَوْمِ ٱلْأُمُورِ ٱلصَّغِيرَةِ. فَتَفْرَحُ أُولَئِكَ ٱلسَّبْعُ، وَيَرَوْنَ ٱلزِّيجَ بِيَدِ زَرُبَّابِلَ. إِنَّمَا هِيَ أَعْيُنُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْجَائِلَةُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا. ١٠ 10
Who has despised the day of small things? These people will rejoice and will see the plumb stone in the hand of Zerubbabel. (These seven lamps are the eyes of Yahweh that roam over the whole earth.)
فَأَجَبْتُ وَقُلْتُ لَهُ: «مَا هَاتَانِ ٱلزَّيْتُونَتَانِ عَنْ يَمِينِ ٱلْمَنَارَةِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهَا؟» ١١ 11
Then I asked the angel, “What are these two olive trees that stand on the left and the right of the lampstand?”
وَأَجَبْتُ ثَانِيَةً وَقُلْتُ لَهُ: «مَا فَرْعَا ٱلزَّيْتُونِ ٱللَّذَانِ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْأَنَابِيبِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، ٱلْمُفْرِغَانِ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمَا ٱلذَّهَبِيَّ؟» ١٢ 12
Once more I asked him, “What are these two olive branches beside the two gold pipes that have golden oil pouring out of them?”
فَأَجَابَنِي قَائِلًا: «أَمَا تَعْلَمُ مَا هَاتَانِ؟» فَقُلْتُ: «لَا يَا سَيِّدِي». ١٣ 13
Then he said to me, “Do you not know what these are?” I said, “No, my master.”
فَقَالَ: «هَاتَانِ هُمَا ٱبْنَا ٱلزَّيْتِ ٱلْوَاقِفَانِ عِنْدَ سَيِّدِ ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا». ١٤ 14
So he said, “These are the sons of fresh olive oil who stand before the Lord of all the earth.”
