撒迦利亞書 4
1 [第五個神視：金燈台和兩棵葡萄樹]那與我談話的使者又來喚醒我，如喚醒夢中人一樣；
Then the angel who had been talking with me returned, and he called to me as though I had been asleep.
2 衪問我說：「你看見了什麼﹖」我回答說：「我看見，啊! 一座純金的燈台，頂上有一個油壺和七盞燈，頂端那七盞燈具有七條導管。
He asked me, “What do you see?” I replied, “I see a lampstand [made] completely of gold. There is a small bowl [for olive oil] at the top, and there are seven [small] lamps around the bowl, and a place for a wick on each lamp.
3 而燈台兩旁有兩棵橄欖樹，一左一右。
Furthermore, I see two olive trees, one at the right side of the lampstand and one at the left side.”
4 我便問那與我談話的使者說：「我主，那是什麼意思﹖」
I asked the angel who was talking with me, “Sir, what are these?”
5 那與我談話的使者回答我說：「你不知道那是什麼意思嗎﹖」我說：「我主，我不知道。」
He replied, “Surely you know [RHQ] what they are?” I replied, “No, I do not know.”
6 他向我說：「
Then he said to me, “This is the message that Yahweh [says that you should give] to Zerubbabel [the governor of Judah: ‘You will do what I want you to do, but it will] not be by your own strength or power. It will be [done] by [the power of] my Spirit, says the Commander of the armies of angels.
7 這七盞燈就是那遍察全地的上主的眼睛，」
Zerubbabel, you [have many difficult matters to handle. They are like] high mountains [MET]. But they will [become easy to handle, as though] they will become flat land. And you will bring [to the temple] the final stone [to complete the rebuilding of the temple]. When you do that, [all the people] will shout repeatedly, “It is beautiful! May God bless it!”’”
8 我又問他說：「這燈台左右的兩棵橄欖樹是意思﹖」
Then Yahweh gave me [another] message.
9 我再問他說：「這兩根經兩個金管流出黃金色油的橄欖樹枝，是什麼意思﹖
He said [to me], “Zerubbabel [SYN] laid the first stone in the foundation of the temple, and he will put the last stone in its place. When that happens, the people will know that [it is I, the Commander of the armies of angels, who] have sent you to them.” And he said, “The seven bowls represent the eyes of Yahweh, who looks back and forth at everything [that happens] on the earth.”
10 他對我說：「你不知道這是什麼意思嗎﹖」我回答說：「我主，不知道。」
No one [RHQ] should think that little things that are done at the beginning of a big project are unimportant. [When the temple is almost finished being rebuilt, ] Zerubbabel will use a (plumb line/string with a stone fastened to it) [to see if the walls they are building are straight]; so when the people see that, they will rejoice.”
11 他說：「這是侍立在全地的主宰面前的兩位受傅者。」[以下號碼與上衝突]：
Then I asked the angel, “What is [the meaning of] the two olive trees, one on each side of the lampstand?
12 這是上主關於則魯巴貝耳所說的話：不是藉權勢，不是藉能力，而是藉我的神能──萬軍的上主說。
And what [the meaning of] the two olive branches, one alongside each of the gold pipes from which [olive] oil flows to the lamps?”
13 大山啊! 你算得什麼﹖在則魯巴貝耳面前，你必化為平地! 他要在「好啊! 好啊!」的歡呼聲中搬出角石。
He replied, “Surely [RHQ] you know what they are?” I replied, “No, sir, [I do not know.]”
14 上主的話傳給我說：則魯巴貝耳的手奠定了這殿宇的基礎，他的手也要完成這工程：這樣你們便知道：是萬軍的上主差遺了我到你們這裏來。
So he said, “They represent the two [men who have been] appointed [MTY] to serve the Lord who [rules] the entire earth.”
15 因為誰敢為了事業開端的微小，就輕視這一天呢﹖當他們看到則魯巴貝耳手中拿出笠石時，就要高興喜悅了。
