Zechariah 4
1 And the angel who had been speaking with me returned, and he awakened me, like a man who is awakened from his sleep.
Puis l'Ange qui parlait avec moi retourna, et me réveilla comme un homme qu'on réveille de son sommeil;
2 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.
Et me dit: Que vois-tu? Et je répondis: Je regarde, et voilà un chandelier tout d'or, et un bassin au-dessus de son sommet, et ses sept lampes sont sur lui, avec sept tuyaux pour les sept lampes qui sont à son sommet.
3 And there were two olive trees upon it: one to the right of the lamp, and one to its left.”
Et il y a deux oliviers au-dessus, l'un à la droite du bassin, et l'autre à la gauche.
4 And I answered and spoke to the angel who was speaking with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?”
Alors je pris la parole, et je dis à l'Ange qui parlait avec moi, ce qui s'ensuit: Mon Seigneur, que veulent dire ces choses?
5 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.”
Et l'Ange qui parlait avec moi, répondit, et me dit: Ne sais-tu pas ce que [veulent dire] ces choses? Et je dis: Non, mon Seigneur!
6 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.
Et il répondit, et me dit: C'est ici la parole de l'Eternel à Zorobabel, disant: Ce n'est point par armée, ni par force, mais par mon Esprit, a dit l'Eternel des armées.
7 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.
Qui es-tu, grande montagne, devant Zorobabel? Une plaine. Il tirera la pierre la plus haute; il y aura des sons éclatants; Grâce, Grâce pour elle.
8 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Aussi la parole de l'Eternel me fut [adressée], en disant:
9 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.
Les mains de Zorobabel ont fondé cette maison, et ses mains l'achèveront; et tu sauras que l'Eternel des armées m'a envoyé vers vous.
10 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.
Car qui est-ce qui a méprisé le temps des petits [commencements?] Vu que ces sept là, [savoir], les yeux de l'Eternel qui vont çà et là par toute la terre, se réjouiront, et verront la pierre du niveau en la main de Zorobabel.
11 And I responded and said to him, “What are these two olive trees to the right of the candlestick, and to its left?”
Et je répondis, et lui dis: Que [signifient] ces deux oliviers, à la droite et à la gauche du chandelier?
12 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?”
Et je pris la parole pour la seconde fois, et lui dis: Que [signifient] ces deux branches d'olivier qui sont auprès des deux becs d'or, desquels l'or découle?
13 And he spoke to me, saying, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.”
Et il me répondit, et dit: Ne sais-tu pas ce que signifient ces choses? Et je dis: Non, mon Seigneur.
14 And he said, “These are the two sons of oil, who attend before the Sovereign of all the earth.”
Et il dit: Ce sont les deux fils de l'huile, qui se tiennent devant le Seigneur de toute la terre.
