| א וַיָּשָׁב, הַמַּלְאָךְ הַדֹּבֵר בִּי; וַיְעִירֵנִי, כְּאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר-יֵעוֹר מִשְּׁנָתוֹ. | 1 And the angel that spoke with me returned, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep. |
| ב וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי, מָה אַתָּה רֹאֶה; ויאמר וָאֹמַר רָאִיתִי וְהִנֵּה מְנוֹרַת זָהָב כֻּלָּהּ וְגֻלָּהּ עַל-רֹאשָׁהּ, וְשִׁבְעָה נֵרֹתֶיהָ עָלֶיהָ--שִׁבְעָה וְשִׁבְעָה מוּצָקוֹת, לַנֵּרוֹת אֲשֶׁר עַל-רֹאשָׁהּ. | 2 And he said unto me: 'What seest thou?' And I said: 'I have seen, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps thereon; there are seven pipes, yea, seven, to the lamps, which are upon the top thereof; |
| ג וּשְׁנַיִם זֵיתִים, עָלֶיהָ: אֶחָד מִימִין הַגֻּלָּה, וְאֶחָד עַל-שְׂמֹאלָהּ. | 3 and two olive-trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.' |
| ד וָאַעַן, וָאֹמַר, אֶל-הַמַּלְאָךְ הַדֹּבֵר בִּי, לֵאמֹר: מָה-אֵלֶּה, אֲדֹנִי. | 4 And I answered and spoke to the angel that spoke with me, saying: 'What are these, my lord?' |
| ה וַיַּעַן הַמַּלְאָךְ הַדֹּבֵר בִּי, וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי, הֲלוֹא יָדַעְתָּ, מָה-הֵמָּה אֵלֶּה; וָאֹמַר, לֹא אֲדֹנִי. | 5 Then the angel that spoke with me answered and said unto me: 'Knowest thou not what these are?' And I said: 'No, my lord.' |
| ו וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי, לֵאמֹר, זֶה דְּבַר-יְהוָה, אֶל-זְרֻבָּבֶל לֵאמֹר: לֹא בְחַיִל, וְלֹא בְכֹחַ--כִּי אִם-בְּרוּחִי, אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת. | 6 Then he answered and spoke unto me, saying: 'This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying: Not by might, nor by power, but by My spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. |
| ז מִי-אַתָּה הַר-הַגָּדוֹל לִפְנֵי זְרֻבָּבֶל, לְמִישֹׁר; וְהוֹצִיא, אֶת-הָאֶבֶן הָרֹאשָׁה--תְּשֻׁאוֹת, חֵן חֵן לָהּ. {פ} | 7 Who art thou, O great mountain before Zerubbabel? thou shalt become a plain; and he shall bring forth the top stone with shoutings of Grace, grace, unto it.' {P} |
| ח וַיְהִי דְבַר-יְהוָה, אֵלַי לֵאמֹר. | 8 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying: |
| ט יְדֵי זְרֻבָּבֶל, יִסְּדוּ הַבַּיִת הַזֶּה--וְיָדָיו תְּבַצַּעְנָה; וְיָדַעְתָּ, כִּי-יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת שְׁלָחַנִי אֲלֵיכֶם. | 9 'The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. |
| י כִּי מִי בַז, לְיוֹם קְטַנּוֹת, וְשָׂמְחוּ וְרָאוּ אֶת-הָאֶבֶן הַבְּדִיל בְּיַד זְרֻבָּבֶל, שִׁבְעָה-אֵלֶּה; עֵינֵי יְהוָה, הֵמָּה מְשׁוֹטְטִים בְּכָל-הָאָרֶץ. | 10 For who hath despised the day of small things? even they shall see with joy the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel, even these seven, which are the eyes of the LORD, that run to and fro through the whole earth.' |
| יא וָאַעַן, וָאֹמַר אֵלָיו: מַה-שְּׁנֵי הַזֵּיתִים הָאֵלֶּה, עַל-יְמִין הַמְּנוֹרָה וְעַל-שְׂמֹאולָהּ. | 11 Then answered I, and said unto him: 'What are these two olive-trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?' |
| יב וָאַעַן שֵׁנִית, וָאֹמַר אֵלָיו: מַה-שְׁתֵּי שִׁבְּלֵי הַזֵּיתִים, אֲשֶׁר בְּיַד שְׁנֵי צַנְתְּרוֹת הַזָּהָב, הַמְרִיקִים מֵעֲלֵיהֶם, הַזָּהָב. | 12 And I answered the second time, and said unto him: 'What are these two olive branches, which are beside the two golden spouts, that empty the golden oil out of themselves?' |
| יג וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי לֵאמֹר, הֲלוֹא יָדַעְתָּ מָה-אֵלֶּה; וָאֹמַר, לֹא אֲדֹנִי. | 13 And he answered me and said: 'Knowest thou not what these are?' And I said: 'No, my lord.' |
| יד וַיֹּאמֶר, אֵלֶּה שְׁנֵי בְנֵי-הַיִּצְהָר, הָעֹמְדִים, עַל-אֲדוֹן כָּל-הָאָרֶץ. | 14 Then said he: 'These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.' |
