< Zaccharias Propheta 4 >

1 et reversus est angelus qui loquebatur in me et suscitavit me quasi virum qui suscitatur de somno suo
And the angel that talked with me returned, and awakened me, as when a man is awakened out of his sleep.
2 et dixit ad me quid tu vides et dixi vidi et ecce candelabrum aureum totum et lampas eius super caput ipsius et septem lucernae eius super illud septem et septem infusoria lucernis quae erant super caput illius
And he said to me, What seest thou? And I said, I have seen, and behold a candlestick all of gold, and its bowl upon it, and seven lamps upon it, and seven oil funnels to the lamps upon it:
3 et duae olivae super illud una a dextris lampadis et una a sinistris eius
and two olive-trees above it, one on the right of the bowl, and one on the left.
4 et respondi et aio ad angelum qui loquebatur in me dicens quid sunt haec domine mi
And I inquired, and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these things, [my] lord?
5 et respondit angelus qui loquebatur in me et dixit ad me numquid nescis quid sunt haec et dixi non domine mi
And the angel that talked with me answered, and spoke to me, saying, Knowest thou not what these things are? And I said, No, [my] lord.
6 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
And he answered and spoke to me, saying, This is the word of the Lord to Zorobabel, saying, Not by mighty power, nor by strength, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord Almighty.
7 quis tu mons magne coram Zorobabel in planum et educet lapidem primarium et exaequabit gratiam gratiae eius
Who art thou, the great mountain before Zorobabel, that thou shouldest prosper? whereas I will bring out the stone of the inheritance, the grace of it the equal of [my ] grace.
8 et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
9 manus Zorobabel fundaverunt domum istam et manus eius perficient eam et scietis quia Dominus exercituum misit me ad vos
The hands of Zorobabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands shall finish it: and thou shalt know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to thee.
10 quis enim despexit dies parvos et laetabuntur et videbunt lapidem stagneum in manu Zorobabel septem isti oculi Domini qui discurrunt in universa terra
For who has despised the small days? surely they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet of tin in the hand of Zorobabel: these are the seven eyes that look upon all the earth.
11 et respondi et dixi ad eum quid sunt duae olivae istae ad dextram candelabri et ad sinistram eius
And I answered, and said to him, What are these two olive-trees, which are on the right and left hand of the candlestick?
12 et respondi secundo et dixi ad eum quid sunt duae spicae olivarum quae sunt iuxta duo rostra aurea in quibus sunt suffusoria ex auro
And I asked the second time, and said to him, What are the two branches of the olive-trees that are by the side of the two golden pipes that pour into and communicate with the golden oil funnels?
13 et ait ad me dicens numquid nescis quid sunt haec et dixi non domine
And he said to me, Knowest thou not what these are? and I said, No, [my] lord.
14 et dixit isti duo filii olei qui adsistunt Dominatori universae terrae
And he said, These are the two anointed ones [that] stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
