Zechariah 4

1 And the angel that talked with me came again, and awaked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep,

The angel who talked with me came again, and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep.

2 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;

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;

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

and two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on the left side of it."

4 And I spake, and said to the angel that talked with me, What mean these, my lord?

I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, "What are these, my lord?"

5 Then the angel who talked with me answered and said to me, Knowest thou not what these mean? And I said, No, my lord.

Then the angel who talked with me answered me, "Do you not know what these are?" I said, "No, my lord."

6 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.

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.

7 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!”

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.'"

8 Moreover, the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:

Moreover 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 finish it. And thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me to you.

"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.

10 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.

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."

11 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?

Then I asked him, "What are these two olive trees on the right side of the menorah and on the left side of it?"

12 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?

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?"

13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these mean? And I said, No, my lord.

He answered me, "Do you not know what these are?" I said, "No, my lord."

14 And he said, These are the two anointed ones that stand before the Lord of all the earth.

Then he said, "These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth."
