< Zechariah 4 >

1 The angel who talked with me came again, and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep.
Et reversus est angelus qui loquebatur in me, et suscitavit me quasi virum qui suscitatur de somno suo.
2 He said to me, "What do you see?" I said, "I have seen, and look, a menorah all of gold, with its bowl on the top of it, and its seven lamps thereon; there are seven pipes to each of the lamps, which are on the top of it;
Et dixit ad me: Quid tu vides? Et dixi: Vidi, et ecce candelabrum aureum totum, et lampas ejus super caput ipsius, et septem lucernæ ejus super illud, et septem infusoria lucernis quæ erant super caput ejus.
3 and two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on the left side of it."
Et duæ olivæ super illud: una a dextris lampadis, et una a sinistris ejus.
4 I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, "What are these, my lord?"
Et respondi, et aio ad angelum qui loquebatur in me, dicens: Quid sunt hæc, domine mi?
5 Then the angel who talked with me answered me, "Do you not know what these are?" I said, "No, my lord."
Et respondit angelus qui loquebatur in me, et dixit ad me: Numquid nescis quid sunt hæc? Et dixi: Non, domine mi.
6 Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel, saying, 'Not by might, nor by power, but by my Ruach,' says the LORD of hosts.
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.
7 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.'"
Quis tu, mons magne, coram Zorobabel? In planum: et educet lapidem primarium, et exæquabit gratiam gratiæ ejus.
8 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
9 "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands shall also finish it; and you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you.
Manus Zorobabel fundaverunt domum istam, et manus ejus perficient eam: et scietis quia Dominus exercituum misit me ad vos.
10 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 the eyes of the LORD, which run back and forth through the whole earth."
Quis enim despexit dies parvos? Et lætabuntur, et videbunt lapidem stanneum in manu Zorobabel. Septem isti oculi sunt Domini, qui discurrunt in universam terram.
11 Then I asked him, "What are these two olive trees on the right side of the menorah and on the left side of it?"
Et respondi, et dixi ad eum: Quid sunt duæ olivæ istæ, ad dexteram candelabri, et ad sinistram ejus?
12 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?"
Et respondi secundo, et dixi ad eum: Quid sunt duæ spicæ olivarum quæ sunt juxta duo rostra aurea in quibus sunt suffusoria ex auro?
13 He answered me, "Do you not know what these are?" I said, "No, my lord."
Et ait ad me, dicens: Numquid nescis quid sunt hæc? Et dixi: Non, domine mi.
14 Then he said, "These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth."
Et dixit: Isti sunt duo filii olei, qui assistunt Dominatori universæ terræ.
