| [1]And the messenger who is speaking with me doth turn back, and stir me up as one who is stirred up out of his sleep, |
[1]And the angel that talked with me, came again and waked me, as a man that is raised out of his sleep, |
| [2]and he saith unto me, `What art thou seeing?' And I say, `I have looked, and lo, a candlestick of gold -- all of it, and its bowl [is] on its top, and its seven lamps [are] upon it, and twice seven pipes [are] to the lights that [are] on its top, |
[2]And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold, a candlestick all of gold with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps therein, and seven pipes to the lamps, which were upon the top thereof. |
| [3]and two olive-trees [are] by it, one on the right of the bowl, and one on its left.' |
[3]And two olive trees over it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof. |
| [4]And I answer and speak unto the messenger who is speaking with me, saying, `What [are] these, my lord?' |
[4]So I answered, and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my Lord? |
| [5]And the messenger who is speaking with me answereth and saith unto me, `Hast thou not known what these [are]?' And I say, `No, my lord.' |
[5]Then the angel that talked with me, answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my Lord. |
| [6]And he answereth and speaketh unto me, saying: `This [is] a word of Jehovah unto Zerubbabel, saying: Not by a force, nor by power, But -- by My Spirit, said Jehovah of Hosts. |
[6]Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Neither by an army nor strength, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. |
| [7]Who [art] thou, O great mountain Before Zerubbabel -- for a plain! And he hath brought forth the top-stone, Cries of Grace, grace -- [are] to it.' |
[7]Who art thou, O great mountain, before Zerubbabel? Thou shalt be a plain, and he shall bring forth the head stone thereof, with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it. |
| [8]And there is a word of Jehovah to me, saying, |
[8]Moreover, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, |
| [9]Hands of Zerubbabel did found this house, And his hands do finish it, And thou hast known that Jehovah of Hosts Hath sent me unto you. |
[9]The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house: his hands shall also finish it, and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you. |
| [10]For who trampled on the day of small things, They have rejoiced, And seen the tin weight in the hand of Zerubbabel, These seven [are] the eyes of Jehovah, They are going to and fro in all the land.' |
[10]For who hath despised the day of the small things? But they shall rejoice, and shall see the stone of tin in the hand of Zerubbabel: these seven are the eyes of the Lord, which go through the whole world. |
| [11]And I answer and say unto him, `What [are] these two olive-trees, on the right of the candlestick, and on its left?' |
[11]Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right and upon the left side thereof? |
| [12]And I answer a second time, and say unto him, `What [are] the two branches of the olive trees that, by means of the two golden pipes, are emptying out of themselves the oil?' |
[12]And I spake moreover, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches, which through the two golden pipes empty themselves into the gold? |
| [13]And he speaketh unto me, saying, `Hast thou not known what these [are]?' And I say, `No, my lord.' |
[13]And he answered me, and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my Lord. |
| [14]And he saith, `These [are] the two sons of the oil, who are standing by the Lord of the whole earth.' |
[14]Then said he, These are the two olive branches, that stand with the ruler of the whole earth. |
