1 A nd the angel who talked with me came again and awakened me, like a man who is wakened out of his sleep.

وَعادَ المَلاكُ الَّذِي كانَ يَتَكَلَّمُ مَعِي وَأيقَظَنِي، كما يُوقَظُ النائِمُ.

2 A nd said to me, What do you see? I said, I see, and behold, a lampstand all of gold, with its bowl on the top of it and its seven lamps on it, and seven pipes to each of the seven lamps which are upon the top of it.

وَقالَ لِي: «ماذا تَرَى؟» فَقُلْتُ: «أرَى مَنارَةً مَسبٌوكَةً مِنَ الذَّهَبِ. وَأرَى إناءً فَوْقَها. وَلِلمَنارَةِ سَبْعَةُ سُرُجٍ. وَيَخرُجُ أُنبُوبٌ مِنْ كُلِّ سِراجٍ مِنَ السُّرُجِ الَّتِي فِي أعلَى المَنارَةِ.

3 A nd there are two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl and the other upon the left side of it.

وَرأيْتُ شَجَرَتَي زَيتُونٍ، واحِدَةً عَنْ يَمينِ الإناءِ، وَواحِدَةً عَنْ يَسارِهِ.

4 S o I asked the angel who talked with me, What are these, my lord?

فَقُلْتُ لِلمَلاكِ الَّذِي كانَ يَتَكَلَّمُ مَعِي: «يا سَيِّدُ، ما هَذِهِ؟»

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

فَأجابَ المَلاكُ الَّذِي كانَ يَتَكَلَّمُ مَعِي: «ألا تَعرِفُ ما هَذِهِ؟» فَقُلْتُ: «لا يا سَيِّدِي.»

6 T hen he said to me, This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.

فَقالَ المَلاكُ: «هَذِهِ هِيَ رِسالَةُ اللهِ إلَى زَرُبّابِلَ: ‹لا بِالقُوَّةِ وَلا بِالقُدْرَةِ، بَلْ بِرُوحِي،› يَقُولُ اللهُ القَدِيرُ.

7 F or who are you, O great mountain ? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain '> molehill]! And he shall bring forth the finishing gable stone with loud shoutings of the people, crying, Grace, grace to it!

‹ما أنتَ أيُّها الجَبَلُ العَظِيمُ؟ أمامَ زَرُبّابِلَ سَتَصِيرُ سَهلاً. سَيُخرَجُ الحَجَرُ الأعلَى فِي الهَيكَلِ عَلَى صَوْتِ الهُتافِ: مَرحَى! مَرحَى!›»

8 M oreover, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

ثُمَّ تَلَقَّيتُ هَذِهِ الرِّسالَةَ مِنَ اللهِ:

9 T he hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundations of this house; his hands shall also finish it. Then you shall know (recognize and understand) that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you.

«يَدا زَرُبّابِلَ وَضَعَتا أساسَ هَذا الهَيكَلِ، وَيَداهُ سَتُكمِلانِهِ. وَحِينَ يَحدُثُ هَذا سَتَعرِفُ أنَّ اللهَ القَدِيرَ أرسَلَنِي إلَيكُمْ.

10 W ho despises the day of small things? For these seven shall rejoice when they see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel. are the eyes of the Lord which run to and fro throughout the whole earth.

لَنْ يَستَهينَ أحَدٌ بِالبِداياتِ الصَّغِيرَةِ، بَلْ سَيَفرَحُ الجَمِيعُ إذْ يَرَوْنَ خَيطَ القِياسِ فِي يَدِ زَرُبّابِلَ. أمّا هَذِهِ السُّرُجُ السَّبْعَةُ، فَهِيَ عُيُونُ اللهِ الَّتِي تَجُولُ فِي كُلِّ الأرْضِ.»

11 T hen I said to him, What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lampstand and on the left side of it?

ثُمَّ سَألْتُ المَلاكَ: «وَما شَجَرَتا الزَّيتُونِ اللَّتانِ عَنْ يَمينِ المَنارَةِ وَعَنْ يَسارِها؟

12 A nd a second time I said to him, What are these two olive branches which are beside the two golden tubes or spouts by which the golden oil is emptied out?

وَما غُصنا الزَّيتُونِ اللَّذانِ يَقطُرانِ زَيتاً مِنْ خِلالِ أنابِيبِ الذَّهَبِ؟»

13 A nd he answered me, Do you not know what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

فَقالَ لِي: «ألا تَعرِفُ ما هَذِهِ؟» فَقُلْتُ: «لا يا سَيِّدِي.»

14 T hen said he, These are the two sons of oil who stand before the Lord of the whole earth.

فَقالَ: «هَذانِ الغُصْنانِ هُما الرَّجُلانِ المَمْسُوحانِ الواقِفانِ أمامَ رَبِّ الأرْضِ كُلِّها.»
