Zechariah 4

1 And the angel that spoke with me came back again, and waked me up, as a man that is wakened up out of his sleep;

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

2 And he said unto me, What art thou seeing? And I said, I have looked, and behold, there is a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon its top, and its seven lamps are thereupon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon its top:

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.

3 And two olive-trees are by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.

And two olive trees over it: one upon the right side of the lamp, and the other upon the left side thereof.

4 And I commenced and said unto the angel that spoke with me, saying, What are these, my lord?

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

5 Then the angel that spoke with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

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.

6 Then answered he and spoke unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, 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 with an army, nor by might, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.

7 Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou wilt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone with shoutings of, Grace, grace unto it.

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.

8 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

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

9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands shall complete it: and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you.

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.

10 For whoever even despised the day of [its] small beginning: yet will they rejoice when they see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel, with those seven; they are the eyes of the Lord, which hold a survey through all the earth.

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.

11 And I began, and said unto him, What are these two olive-trees upon the right side of the candle-stick and upon its left?

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?

12 And I began a second time, and said unto him, What are these two olive-branches, which are close by the two golden pipes which empty out of themselves the gold-colored oil?

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?

13 And he said to me as followeth, Knowest thou not what these things are? And I said, No, my lord.

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

14 Then said he, These are the two sons of the clear oil, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.

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