Zechariah 4

1 And the messenger who is speaking with me doth turn back, and stir me up as one who is stirred 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 and he saith unto me, 'What art thou seeing?' And I say, 'I have looked, and lo, a candlestick of gold — all of it, and its bowl [is] on its top, and its seven lamps [are] upon it, and twice seven pipes [are] to the lights that [are] on its top,

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 [are] by it, one on the right of the bowl, and one on its left.'

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 And I answer and speak unto the messenger who is 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 And the messenger who is speaking with me answereth and saith unto me, 'Hast thou not known what these [are]?' And I say, '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 And he answereth and speaketh unto me, saying: 'This [is] a word of Jehovah unto Zerubbabel, saying: Not by a force, nor by power, But — by My Spirit, said Jehovah 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 — for a plain! And he hath brought forth the top-stone, Cries of Grace, grace — [are] to it.'

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 And there is a word of Jehovah to me, saying,

耶和華的話又臨到我說：

9 Hands of Zerubbabel did found this house, And his hands do finish it, And thou hast known that Jehovah 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 trampled on the day of small things, They have rejoiced, And seen the tin weight in the hand of Zerubbabel, These seven [are] the eyes of Jehovah, They are going to and fro in all the land.'

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 And I answer and say unto him, 'What [are] these two olive-trees, on the right of the candlestick, and on its left?'

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 answer a second time, and say unto him, 'What [are] the two branches of the olive trees that, by means of the two golden pipes, are emptying out of themselves the 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 speaketh unto me, saying, 'Hast thou not known what these [are]?' And I say, '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 And he saith, 'These [are] the two sons of the oil, who are standing by the Lord of the whole earth.'

他說：「這是兩個受膏者站在普天下主的旁邊。」
