Zechariah 4
1 Then the angel I had been talking to returned and got my attention, like waking someone from sleep.
Et reversus est angelus qui loquebatur in me, et suscitavit me quasi virum qui suscitatur de somno suo.
2 “What do you see?” he asked me. “I see a lampstand made of solid gold with a bowl at its top having seven lamps on it, each with seven lips.
Et dixit ad me: Quid tu vides? Et dixi: Vidi, et ecce candelabrum aureum totum, et lampas ejus super caput ipsius, et septem lucernæ ejus super illud, et septem infusoria lucernis quæ erant super caput ejus.
3 I also see olive trees, one to the right and one to the left of the bowl.”
Et duæ olivæ super illud: una a dextris lampadis, et una a sinistris ejus.
4 Then I asked the angel I was talking to, “What are these, my lord?”
Et respondi, et aio ad angelum qui loquebatur in me, dicens: Quid sunt hæc, domine mi?
5 “Don't you know what these are?” the angel replied. “No, my lord,” I responded.
Et respondit angelus qui loquebatur in me, et dixit ad me: Numquid nescis quid sunt hæc? Et dixi: Non, domine mi.
6 Then he told me, “This is the Lord's message to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, says the Lord Almighty.
Et respondit, et ait ad me, dicens: Hoc est verbum Domini ad Zorobabel, dicens: Non in exercitu, nec in robore, sed in spiritu meo, dicit Dominus exercituum.
7 Even obstacles as big as mountains will be flattened before Zerubbabel. Finally he will bring out the capstone to shouts of ‘Blessings on it!’”
Quis tu, mons magne, coram Zorobabel? In planum: et educet lapidem primarium, et exæquabit gratiam gratiæ ejus.
8 Then the Lord gave me another message.
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
9 Zerubbabel with his own hands laid the foundations for this Temple, and it will be completed the same way. Then you will know the Lord Almighty has sent me.
Manus Zorobabel fundaverunt domum istam, et manus ejus perficient eam: et scietis quia Dominus exercituum misit me ad vos.
10 For who dares look down on this time of small beginnings? They will be happy when they see the plumb line in Zerubbabel's hand. “The seven lamps represent the eyes of the Lord which see all over the world.”
Quis enim despexit dies parvos? Et lætabuntur, et videbunt lapidem stanneum in manu Zorobabel. Septem isti oculi sunt Domini, qui discurrunt in universam terram.
11 Then I asked the angel, “What are the two olive trees that stand to the right and the left of the lampstand?”
Et respondi, et dixi ad eum: Quid sunt duæ olivæ istæ, ad dexteram candelabri, et ad sinistram ejus?
12 And I also asked him, “What are the two olive branches from which the golden oil pours out from through golden pipes?”
Et respondi secundo, et dixi ad eum: Quid sunt duæ spicæ olivarum quæ sunt juxta duo rostra aurea in quibus sunt suffusoria ex auro?
13 “Don't you know?” the angel replied. “No, my lord,” I responded.
Et ait ad me, dicens: Numquid nescis quid sunt hæc? Et dixi: Non, domine mi.
14 “These are the two who have been anointed who stand by the Lord of all the earth,” he replied.
Et dixit: Isti sunt duo filii olei, qui assistunt Dominatori universæ terræ.
