Zechariah 4
1 And the Angel that talked with mee, came againe and waked mee, as a man that is raysed out of his sleepe,
And the angel that talked with me came again, and awaked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep,
2 And saide vnto me, What seest thou? And I said, I haue looked, and beholde, a candlesticke all of gold with a bowle vpon the toppe of it, and his seuen lampes therein, and seuen pipes to the lampes, which were vpon the toppe 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 oliue trees ouer it, one vpon the right side of the bowle, and the other vpon the left side thereof.
and two olive-trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side of it.
4 So I answered, and spake 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 Then the Angel that talked with mee, answered and said vnto me, Knowest thou not what these be? 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 Then he answered and spake vnto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord vnto Zerubbabel, saying, Neither by an armie nor strength, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hostes.
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 mountaine, before Zerubbabel? thou shalt be a plaine, and he shall bring foorth the head stone thereof, with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace vnto 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 Moreouer, the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Moreover, the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
9 The handes of Zerubbabel haue layde the foundation of this house: his handes shall also finish it, and thou shalt knowe that the Lord of hostes hath sent me vnto 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 the small thinges? but they shall reioyce, and shall see the stone of tinne in the hand of Zerubbabel: these seuen are the eyes of the Lord, which go thorow the whole world.
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 Then answered I, and said vnto him, What are these two oliue trees vpon the right and vpon the left side thereof?
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 spake moreouer, and said vnto him, What bee these two oliue branches, which thorowe the two golden pipes emptie themselues into the golde?
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 hee answered me, and saide, Knowest thou not what these bee? And I sayde, No, my Lord.
And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these mean? And I said, No, my lord.
14 Then said he, These are the two oliue branches, that stand with the ruler of the whole earth.
And he said, These are the two anointed ones that stand before the Lord of all the earth.
