1 فرجع الملاك الذي كلمني وايقظني كرجل أوقظ من نومه.1 And the angel who had been speaking with me returned, and he awakened me, like a man who is awakened from 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 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.
3 وعندها زيتونتان احداهما عن يمين الكوز والاخرى عن يساره.3 And there were two olive trees upon it: one to the right of the lamp, and one to its left.”
4 فاجبت وقلت للملاك الذي كلمني قائلا ما هذه يا سيدي.4 And I answered and spoke to the angel who was speaking with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?”
5 فاجاب الملاك الذي كلمني وقال لي أما تعلم ما هذه. فقلت لا يا سيدي.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.”
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 Zerubbabel, saying: Not by an army, nor by might, but in my spirit, says the Lord of hosts.
7 من انت ايها الجبل العظيم. امام زربابل تصير سهلا. فيخرج حجر الزاوية بين الهاتفين كرامة كرامة له7 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.
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 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.
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 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.
11 فاجبت وقلت له ما هاتان الزيتونتان عن يمين المنارة وعن يسارها.11 And I responded and said to him, “What are these two olive trees to the right of the candlestick, and to its left?”
12 واجبت ثانية وقلت له ما فرعا الزيتون اللذان بجانب الانابيب من ذهب المفرغان من انفسهما الذهبيّ.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?”
13 فاجابني قائلا اما تعلم ما هاتان. فقلت لا يا سيدي.13 And he spoke to me, saying, “Do you not know 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 the two sons of oil, who attend before the Sovereign of all the earth.”
