1 And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.

And the angel that talked with me came again, and awaked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep,

2 And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I see, and behold, a lamp-stand all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps thereon, seven [lamps] and seven pipes to the lamps, which are upon the top thereof;

and said to me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold, a chandelier all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps upon it, and seven pipes to the seven lamps which are upon the top of it;

3 and two olive-trees beside it, one on the right of the bowl, and the other on the left of it.

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

4 And I answered and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?

And I spake, and said to the angel that talked with me, What mean these, my lord?

5 And the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

Then the angel who talked with me answered and said to me, Knowest thou not what these mean? And I said, No, my lord.

6 And he answered and spoke unto me, saying, This is the word of Jehovah unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith Jehovah of hosts.

Then he answered and spake to me, saying, This is the word of Jehovah to Zerubbabel, saying: — Not by might, nor by power, But by my spirit, Saith Jehovah of hosts.

7 Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel [thou dost become] a plain; and he shall bring forth the head-stone with shoutings: Grace, grace unto it!

What art thou, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain! And he shall bring forth the corner-stone amid shoutings, [[The people crying, ]] “Grace, grace be to it!”

8 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

Moreover, the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:

9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; and his hands shall finish it: and thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto you.

The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands shall finish it. And thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me to you.

10 For who hath despised the day of small things? Yea, they shall rejoice [even] those seven — and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel: these are the eyes of Jehovah, which run to and fro in the whole earth.

For who hath despised the day of small things? With joy shall the plummet be seen in the hand of Zerubbabel by those seven; they are the eyes of Jehovah, which run to and fro through the whole earth.

11 And I answered and said unto him, What are these two olive-trees on the right of the lamp-stand and on its left?

Then I spake and said to him, What mean these two olive-trees, upon the right side of the chandelier and upon the left side thereof?

12 And I answered the second time and said unto him, What are the two olive-branches which are beside the two golden tubes that empty the gold out of themselves?

And I spake the second time, and said to him, What mean these two olive-branches, which are by the side of the two golden tubes which empty the golden oil out of themselves?

13 And he spoke to me, saying, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these mean? And I said, No, my lord.

14 And he said, These are the two sons of oil, that stand before the Lord of the whole earth.

And he said, These are the two anointed ones that stand before the Lord of all the earth.
