撒迦利亞書 4

1 那與我說話的天使又來叫醒我，好像人睡覺被喚醒一樣。

And the agent who talked with me came again, and awoke me, as a man who is awakened out of his sleep.

2 他問我說：「你看見了甚麼？」我說：「我看見了一個純金的燈臺，頂上有燈盞，燈臺上有七盞燈，每盞有七個管子。

And he said to me, What do thou see? And I said, I have seen, and, behold, a lampstand all of gold, with its bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps on it. There are seven pipes to each of the lamps, which are upon the top of it,

3 旁邊有兩棵橄欖樹，一棵在燈盞的右邊，一棵在燈盞的左邊。」

and two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side of it.

4 我問與我說話的天使說：「主啊，這是甚麼意思？」

And I answered and spoke to the agent who talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?

5 與我說話的天使回答我說：「你不知道這是甚麼意思嗎？」我說：「主啊，我不知道。」

Then the agent who talked with me answered and said to me, Do thou not know what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

6 他對我說：「這是耶和華指示所羅巴伯的。萬軍之耶和華說：不是倚靠勢力，不是倚靠才能，乃是倚靠我的靈方能成事。

Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, This is the word of Jehovah to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says Jehovah of hosts.

7 大山哪，你算甚麼呢？在所羅巴伯面前，你必成為平地。他必搬出一塊石頭，安在殿頂上。人且大聲歡呼說：『願恩惠恩惠歸與這殿！』」

Who are thou, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel thou shall become a plain, and he shall bring forth the top stone with shoutings of Grace, grace, to it.

8 耶和華的話又臨到我說：

Moreover the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

9 「所羅巴伯的手立了這殿的根基，他的手也必完成這工，你就知道萬軍之耶和華差遣我到你們這裏來了。

The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands shall also finish it. And thou shall know that Jehovah of hosts has sent me to you.

10 誰藐視這日的事為小呢？這七眼乃是耶和華的眼睛，遍察全地，見所羅巴伯手拿線鉈就歡喜。」

For who has despised the day of small things? For these seven shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel, the eyes of Jehovah, which run to and fro through the whole earth.

11 我又問天使說：「這燈臺左右的兩棵橄欖樹是甚麼意思？」

Then I answered, and said to him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the lampstand and upon the left side of it?

12 我二次問他說：「這兩根橄欖枝在兩個流出金色油的金嘴旁邊是甚麼意思？」

And I answered the second time, and said to him, What are these two olive-branches, which are beside the two golden spouts that empty the golden oil out of themselves?

13 他對我說：「你不知道這是甚麼意思嗎？」我說：「主啊，我不知道。」

And he answered me and said, Do thou not know what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

14 他說：「這是兩個受膏者站在普天下主的旁邊。」

Then he said, These are the two anointed ones, who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
