Zaccharias Propheta 4
1 Et reversus est angelus, qui loquebatur in me, et suscitavit me, quasi virum, qui suscitatur de somno suo.
The angel who talked with me came again and wakened me, as a man who is wakened 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 lucernæ eius super illud: et septem infusoria lucernis, quæ erant super caput eius.
He said to me, “What do you see?” I said, “I have seen, and behold, a lamp stand all of gold, with its bowl on the top of it, and its seven lamps on it; there are seven pipes to each of the lamps which are on the top of it;
3 Et duæ olivæ super illud: una a dextris lampadis, et una a sinistris eius.
and two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on the left side of it.”
4 Et respondi, et aio ad angelum, qui loquebatur in me, dicens: Quid sunt hæc, domine mi?
I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?”
5 Et respondit angelus, qui loquebatur in me, et dixit ad me: Numquid nescis quid sunt hæc? Et dixi: Non, domine mi.
Then the angel who talked with me answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?” 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.
Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, “This is Yahweh’s word to Zerubbabel, saying, ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says Yahweh of Armies.
7 Quis tu mons magne coram Zorobabel? in planum: et educet lapidem primarium, et exæquabit gratiam gratiæ eius.
Who are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you are a plain; and he will bring out the capstone with shouts of ‘Grace, grace, to it!’”
8 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
Moreover Yahweh’s word 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 Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands shall also finish it; and you will know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you.
10 Quis enim despexit dies parvos? et lætabuntur, et videbunt lapidem stanneum in manu Zorobabel. Septem isti oculi sunt Domini, qui discurrunt in universam terram.
Indeed, who despises the day of small things? For these seven shall rejoice, and shall see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. These are Yahweh’s eyes, which run back and forth through the whole earth.”
11 Et respondi, et dixi ad eum: Quid sunt duæ olivæ istæ ad dexteram candelabri, et ad sinistram eius?
Then I asked him, “What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lamp stand and on the left side of it?”
12 Et respondi secundo, et dixi ad eum: Quid sunt duæ spicæ olivarum, quæ sunt iuxta duo rostra aurea, in quibus sunt suffusoria ex auro?
I asked him the second time, “What are these two olive branches, which are beside the two golden spouts that pour the golden oil out of themselves?”
13 Et ait ad me, dicens: Numquid nescis quid sunt hæc? Et dixi: Non, domine mi.
He answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?” I said, “No, my lord.”
14 Et dixit: Isti sunt duo filii olei, qui assistunt Dominatori universæ terræ.
Then he said, “These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.”
