Zechariah 4

1 And the angel that spoke in me came again: and he waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.

And the angel that talked with me returned, and awakened me, as when a man is awakened out of his sleep.

2 And he said to me: What seest thou? And I said: I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, and its lamp upon the top of it: and the seven lights thereof upon it: and seven funnels for the lights that were upon the top thereof.

And he said to me, What see you? 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 And two olive trees over it: one upon the right side of the lamp, and the other upon the left side thereof.

and two olive-trees above it, one on the right of the bowl, and one on the left.

4 And I answered, and said to the angel that spoke in me, saying: What are these things, my lord?

And I enquired, and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these things, [my] lord?

5 And the angel that spoke in me answered, and said to me: Knowest thou not what these things are? And I said: No, my lord.

And the angel that talked with me answered, and spoke to me, saying, Know you not what these things are? And I said, No, [my] lord.

6 And he answered, and spoke to me, saying: This is the word of the Lord to Zorobabel, saying: Not with an army, nor by might, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.

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, says the Lord Almighty.

7 Who art thou, O great mountain, before Zorobabel? thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring out the chief stone, and shall give equal grace to the grace thereof.

Who are you, the great mountain before Zorobabel, that you should prosper? whereas I will bring out the stone of the inheritance, the grace of it the equal of [my ] grace.

8 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

9 The hands of Zorobabel have laid the foundations of this house, and his hands shall finish it: and you shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me to you.

The hands of Zorobabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands shall finish it: and you shall know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you.

10 For who hath despised little days? and they shall rejoice, and shall see the tin plummet in the hand of Zorobabel. These are the seven eyes of the Lord, that run to and fro through the whole earth.

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 And I answered, and said to him: What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick, and upon the left side thereof?

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 And I answered again, and said to him: What are the two olive branches, that are by the two golden beaks, in which are the funnels of gold?

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

And he said to me, Know you not what these are? and I said, No, [my] lord.

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

And he said, These are the two anointed ones [that] stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
