< Zechariah 4 >

1 And he returned the angel who was speaking with me and he roused me like a person who he is roused from sleep his.
Then the messenger who talked with me came again and woke me, as someone who is woken from sleep.
2 And he said to me what? [are] you seeing (and I said *Q(K)*) I see - and there! a lampstand of gold all of it and a bowl [is] on top its and seven lamps its [are] on it seven and seven pipes [belong] to the lamps which [are] on top its.
He said to me, “What do you see?” I said, “I see a candlestick, all of gold, with a bowl on its top, and seven lamps on it. There are seven pipes to each of the lamps, which are on its top,
3 And two olive trees [were] at it one from [the] right [side] of the bowl and one at left [side] its.
and two olive trees next to it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on its left side.”
4 And I answered and I said to the angel who was speaking with me saying what? [are] these O lord my.
I said to the messenger who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?”
5 And he answered the angel who was speaking with me and he said to me ¿ not do you know what? they [are] these and I said no O lord my.
Then the messenger who talked with me answered, “Don’t you know what these are?” And I said. “No, my lord.”
6 And he answered and he said to me saying this [is] [the] word of Yahweh to Zerubbabel saying not by strength and not by power that except by spirit my he says Yahweh of hosts.
He said to me, “This is the message of the Lord regarding Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, says the Lord of hosts,
7 Who? [are] you O mountain great before Zerubbabel level ground and he will bring forth the stone top shouting grace grace to it.
will I make the great mountain before Zerubbabel a plain. He will bring forth the top stones with shoutings of, ‘Grace, grace, to it.’”
8 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Moreover this message of the Lord came to me:
9 [the] hands of Zerubbabel they have founded the house this and hands his they will finish [it] and you will know that Yahweh of hosts he has sent me to you.
The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands will also finish it. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you.
10 For who? has he despised a day of small [things] and they will rejoice and they will see the stone tin in [the] hand of Zerubbabel seven these [the] eyes of Yahweh they [are] roving about in all the earth.
For who has despised the day of small things? They will rejoice, and will see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. (The seven lamps are the eyes of the Lord that search all around the world.)
11 And I answered and I said to him what? [are] [the] two the olive trees these at [the] right [side] of the lampstand and at left [side] its.
Again I asked, “What are these two olive trees on the right side of the candlestick and on its left side?”
12 And I answered a second [time] and I said to him what? [are] [the] two [the] clusters of the olive trees which [are] at [the] hand of [the] two [the] pipes of gold which are pouring out from on them the gold.
Again, “What are these two branches of the olive trees, which are pouring out the golden oil through the two golden pipes?”
13 And he said to me saying ¿ not do you know what? [are] these and I said no O lord my.
He answered me, “Don’t you now what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.”
14 And he said these [are] [the] two [the] sons of the fresh oil who stand at [the] lord of all the earth.
Then he explained, “They are the two anointed ones who attend the Lord of all the earth.”
