Zechariah 4
1 And once more the messenger who was speaking with me, roused me up, just as a man might be roused up out of his sleep.
那與我說話的天使又來叫醒我，好像人睡覺被喚醒一樣。
2 Then said he unto me, What canst thou see? And I said—I have looked, and lo! a Lampstand—all of gold, with the Bowl thereof upon the top thereof, and its Seven Lamps upon it, Seven Pipes each, to the lamps which are upon the top thereof;
他問我說：「你看見了甚麼？」我說：「我看見了一個純金的燈臺，頂上有燈盞，燈臺上有七盞燈，每盞有七個管子。
3 and, Two Olive-trees, by it, —one upon the right hand of the bowl, and one upon the left hand thereof.
旁邊有兩棵橄欖樹，一棵在燈盞的右邊，一棵在燈盞的左邊。」
4 Then responded I, and said unto the messenger who was speaking with me, saying, —What are these, my lord?
我問與我說話的天使說：「主啊，這是甚麼意思？」
5 Then answered the messenger who was speaking with me, and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these, are? And I said, No my lord.
與我說話的天使回答我說：「你不知道這是甚麼意思嗎？」我說：「主啊，我不知道。」
6 Then responded he, and spake unto me, saying, This, is the word of Yahweh, unto Zerubbabel, saying, —Not by wealth, nor by strength, but by my spirit, saith Yahweh of hosts.
他對我說：「這是耶和華指示所羅巴伯的。萬軍之耶和華說：不是倚靠勢力，不是倚靠才能，乃是倚靠我的靈方能成事。
7 Who, art, thou, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel, [brought down] to a plain! So shall he bring forth the headstone, with thundering shouts Beautiful! Beautiful! thereunto.
大山哪，你算甚麼呢？在所羅巴伯面前，你必成為平地。他必搬出一塊石頭，安在殿頂上。人且大聲歡呼說：『願恩惠恩惠歸與這殿！』」
8 Then came the word of Yahweh unto me, saying:
耶和華的話又臨到我說：
9 The hands of Zerubbabel, have founded this house, and, his hands, shall finish it, —So shalt thou know that, Yahweh of hosts, hath sent me unto you.
「所羅巴伯的手立了這殿的根基，他的手也必完成這工，你就知道萬軍之耶和華差遣我到你們這裏來了。
10 For who hath despised the day of small things? Yet shall they rejoice, when they see the plummet-stone in the hand of Zerubbabel, —these seven! The eyes of Yahweh, they are—running to and fro throughout all the earth.
誰藐視這日的事為小呢？這七眼乃是耶和華的眼睛，遍察全地，見所羅巴伯手拿線鉈就歡喜。」
11 Then responded I, and said unto him, —What are these two olive-trees, upon the right of the lampstand, and upon the left thereof?
我又問天使說：「這燈臺左右的兩棵橄欖樹是甚麼意思？」
12 And I responded a second time, and said unto him, —What are the two branches of the olive- trees which join the two golden tubes, which empty out of them the golden oil?
我二次問他說：「這兩根橄欖枝在兩個流出金色油的金嘴旁邊是甚麼意思？」
13 And he spake unto me, saying, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, No, my lord.
他對我說：「你不知道這是甚麼意思嗎？」我說：「主啊，我不知道。」
14 Then said he, These, are the two Anointed Ones, —who stand near the Lord of all the earth.
他說：「這是兩個受膏者站在普天下主的旁邊。」
