< Zechariah 4 >

1 And the angel that talked with me came again, and woke me, as a man that is awakened from his sleep,
וַיָּשׇׁב הַמַּלְאָךְ הַדֹּבֵר בִּי וַיְעִירֵנִי כְּאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר־יֵעוֹר מִשְּׁנָתֽוֹ׃
2 And said to me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a lampstand all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which were upon the top of it:
וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי מָה אַתָּה רֹאֶה (ויאמר) [וָאֹמַר] רָאִיתִי ׀ וְהִנֵּה מְנוֹרַת זָהָב כֻּלָּהּ וְגֻלָּהּ עַל־רֹאשָׁהּ וְשִׁבְעָה נֵרֹתֶיהָ עָלֶיהָ שִׁבְעָה וְשִׁבְעָה מֽוּצָקוֹת לַנֵּרוֹת אֲשֶׁר עַל־רֹאשָֽׁהּ׃
3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side.
וּשְׁנַיִם זֵיתִים עָלֶיהָ אֶחָד מִימִין הַגֻּלָּה וְאֶחָד עַל־שְׂמֹאלָֽהּ׃
4 So I answered and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
וָאַעַן וָֽאֹמַר אֶל־הַמַּלְאָךְ הַדֹּבֵר בִּי לֵאמֹר מָה־אֵלֶּה אֲדֹנִֽי׃
5 Then the angel that talked with me answered and said to me, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, No, my lord.
וַיַּעַן הַמַּלְאָךְ הַדֹּבֵר בִּי וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי הֲלוֹא יָדַעְתָּ מָה־הֵמָּה אֵלֶּה וָאֹמַר לֹא אֲדֹנִֽי׃
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 spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי לֵאמֹר זֶה דְּבַר־יְהֹוָה אֶל־זְרֻבָּבֶל לֵאמֹר לֹא בְחַיִל וְלֹא בְכֹחַ כִּי אִם־בְּרוּחִי אָמַר יְהֹוָה צְבָאֽוֹת׃
7 Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth its headstone with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace to it.
מִֽי־אַתָּה הַֽר־הַגָּדוֹל לִפְנֵי זְרֻבָּבֶל לְמִישֹׁר וְהוֹצִיא אֶת־הָאֶבֶן הָרֹאשָׁהֿ תְּשֻׁאוֹת חֵן חֵן לָֽהּ׃
8 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהֹוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹֽר׃
9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me to you.
יְדֵי זְרֻבָּבֶל יִסְּדוּ הַבַּיִת הַזֶּה וְיָדָיו תְּבַצַּעְנָה וְיָדַעְתָּ כִּֽי־יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת שְׁלָחַנִי אֲלֵיכֶֽם׃
10 For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
כִּי מִי בַז לְיוֹם קְטַנּוֹת וְשָׂמְחוּ וְרָאוּ אֶת־הָאֶבֶן הַבְּדִיל בְּיַד זְרֻבָּבֶל שִׁבְעָה־אֵלֶּה עֵינֵי יְהֹוָה הֵמָּה מְשׁוֹטְטִים בְּכׇל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃
11 Then I answered, and said to him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the lampstand and upon its left side?
וָאַעַן וָאֹמַר אֵלָיו מַה־שְּׁנֵי הַזֵּיתִים הָאֵלֶּה עַל־יְמִין הַמְּנוֹרָה וְעַל־שְׂמֹאולָֽהּ׃
12 And I answered again, and said to him, What are these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
וָאַעַן שֵׁנִית וָאֹמַר אֵלָיו מַה־שְׁתֵּי שִׁבְּלֵי הַזֵּיתִים אֲשֶׁר בְּיַד שְׁנֵי צַנְתְּרוֹת הַזָּהָב הַֽמְרִיקִים מֵעֲלֵיהֶם הַזָּהָֽב׃
13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, No, my lord.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי לֵאמֹר הֲלוֹא יָדַעְתָּ מָה־אֵלֶּה וָאֹמַר לֹא אֲדֹנִֽי׃
14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶּה שְׁנֵי בְנֵֽי־הַיִּצְהָר הָעֹמְדִים עַל־אֲדוֹן כׇּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃
