< Zechariah 4 >
1 The angel who talked with me came again, and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep.
我に語へる天の使また來りて我を呼醒せり我は睡れる人の呼醒されしごとくなりき
2 He said to me, "What do you see?" I said, "I have seen, and look, a lampstand 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;
彼我にむかひて汝何を見るやと言ければ我いへり我觀に惣金の燈臺一箇ありてその頂に油を容る噐ありまた燈臺の上に七箇の燭盞ありその燭盞は燈臺の頂にありて之に各七本づつの管あり
3 and two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on the left side of it."
また燈臺の側に橄欖の樹二本ありて一は油を容る噐の右にあり一はその左にあり
4 I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, "What are these, my lord?"
我答へて我と語ふ天の使の問言けるは我主よ是等は何ぞやと
5 Then the angel who talked with me answered me, "Do you not know what these are?" I said, "No, my lord."
我と語ふ天の使我に答へて汝是等の何なるを知ざるかと言しにより我主よ知ずとわれ言り
6 Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, "This is the word of YHWH to Zerubbabel, saying, 'Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says YHWH of hosts.
彼また答へて我に言けるはゼルバベルにヱホバの告たまふ言は是のごとし萬軍のヱホバ宣ふ是は權勢に由らず能力に由らず我靈に由るなり
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.'"
ゼルバベルの前にあたれる大山よ汝は何者ぞ汝は平地とならん彼は恩惠あれ之に恩惠あれと呼はる聲をたてて頭石を曳いださん
8 Moreover the word of YHWH came to me, saying,
ヱホバの言われに臨めり云く
9 "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands shall also finish it; and you will know that YHWH of hosts has sent me to you.
ゼルバベルの手この室の石礎を置たり彼の手これを成終ん汝しらん萬軍のヱホバ我を汝等に遣したまひしと
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 YHWH, which run back and forth through the whole earth."
誰か小き事の日を藐視むる者ぞ夫の七の者は遍く全地に往來するヱホバの目なり準繩のゼルバベルの手にあるを見て喜ばん
11 Then I asked him, "What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lampstand and on the left side of it?"
我また彼に問て燈臺の右左にある此二本の橄欖の樹は何なるやと言ひ
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?"
重ねてまた彼に問て此二本の金の管によりて金の油をその中より斟ぎ出す二枝の橄欖は何ぞやと言しに
13 He answered me, "Do you not know what these are?" I said, "No, my lord."
彼われに答へて汝是等の何なるを知ざるかと言ければ我主よ知ずと言けるに
14 Then he said, "These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth."
彼言らく是等は油の二箇の子にして全地の主の前に立つ者なり
