SMITH VAN DYKEDOUAI-RHEIMS
1 فرجع الملاك الذي كلمني وايقظني كرجل أوقظ من نومه.1 And the angel that spoke in me came again: and he waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.
2 وقال لي ماذا ترى. فقلت قد نظرت واذا بمنارة كلها ذهب وكوزها على راسها وسبعة سرج عليها وسبع انابيب للسرج التي على راسها.2 And he said to me: What seest thou? And I said: I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, and its lamp upon the top of it: and the seven lights thereof upon it: and seven funnels for the lights that were upon the top thereof.
3 وعندها زيتونتان احداهما عن يمين الكوز والاخرى عن يساره.3 And two olive trees over it: one upon the right side of the lamp, and the other upon the left side thereof.
4 فاجبت وقلت للملاك الذي كلمني قائلا ما هذه يا سيدي.4 And I answered, and said to the angel that spoke in me, saying: What are these things, my lord?
5 فاجاب الملاك الذي كلمني وقال لي أما تعلم ما هذه. فقلت لا يا سيدي.5 And the angel that spoke in me answered, and said to me: Knowest thou not what these things are? And I said: No, my lord.
6 فاجاب وكلمني قائلا هذه كلمة الرب الى زربابل قائلا لا بالقدرة ولا بالقوة بل بروحي قال رب الجنود.6 And he answered, and spoke to me, saying: This is the word of the Lord to Zorobabel, saying: Not with an army, nor by might, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.
7 من انت ايها الجبل العظيم. امام زربابل تصير سهلا. فيخرج حجر الزاوية بين الهاتفين كرامة كرامة له7 Who art thou, O great mountain, before Zorobabel? thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring out the chief stone, and shall give equal grace to the grace thereof.
8 وكانت اليّ كلمة الرب قائلا8 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
9 ان يدي زربابل قد اسستها هذا البيت فيداه تتمّمانه فتعلم ان رب الجنود ارسلني اليكم.9 The hands of Zorobabel have laid the foundations of this house, and his hands shall finish it: and you shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me to you.
10 لانه من ازدرى بيوم الأمور الصغيرة. فتفرح اولئك السبع ويرون الزيج بيد زربابل. انما هي اعين الرب الجائلة في الارض كلها.10 For who hath despised little days? and they shall rejoice, and shall see the tin plummet in the hand of Zorobabel. These are the seven eyes of the Lord, that run to and fro through the whole earth.
11 فاجبت وقلت له ما هاتان الزيتونتان عن يمين المنارة وعن يسارها.11 And I answered, and said to him: What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick, and upon the left side thereof?
12 واجبت ثانية وقلت له ما فرعا الزيتون اللذان بجانب الانابيب من ذهب المفرغان من انفسهما الذهبيّ.12 And I answered again, and said to him: What are the two olive branches, that are by the two golden beaks, in which are the funnels of gold?
13 فاجابني قائلا اما تعلم ما هاتان. فقلت لا يا سيدي.13 And he spoke to me, saying: Knowest thou not what these are? And I said: No, my lord.
14 فقال هاتان هما ابنا الزيت الواقفان عند سيد الارض كلها14 And he said: These are two sons of oil who stand before the Lord of the whole earth.
