1 N ow the angel who talked with me came back and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep.

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

2 A nd he said to me, “What do you see?” So I said, “I am looking, and there is a lampstand of solid gold with a bowl on top of it, and on the stand seven lamps with seven pipes to the seven lamps.

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 T wo olive trees are by it, one at the right of the bowl and the other at its left.”

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

4 S o I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, “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 and said to 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 S o he answered and said to me: “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘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 ‘ Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And he shall bring forth the capstone With shouts of “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 “ The hands of Zerubbabel Have laid the foundation of this temple; His hands shall also finish it. Then you will know 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 F or who has despised the day of small things? For these seven rejoice to see The plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. They are the eyes of the Lord, Which scan 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 answered and said to him, “What are these two olive trees—at the right of the lampstand and at its left?”

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

12 A nd I further answered and said to him, “What are these two olive branches that drip into the receptacles of the two gold pipes from which the golden oil drains?”

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

13 T hen he answered me and said, “Do you not know what these are? ” And I said, “No, my lord.”

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

14 S o he said, “These are the two anointed ones, who stand beside the Lord of the whole earth.”

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