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,

And the Angel that talked with mee, came againe and waked mee, as a man that is raysed out of his sleepe,

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,

And saide vnto me, What seest thou? And I said, I haue looked, and beholde, a candlesticke all of gold with a bowle vpon the toppe of it, and his seuen lampes therein, and seuen pipes to the lampes, which were vpon the toppe thereof.

3 and two olive-trees [are] by it, one on the right of the bowl, and one on its left.'

And two oliue trees ouer it, one vpon the right side of the bowle, and the other vpon the left side thereof.

4 And I answer and speak unto the messenger who is speaking with me, saying, 'What [are] these, my lord?'

So I answered, and spake to the Angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my Lord?

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.'

Then the Angel that talked with mee, answered and said vnto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my Lord.

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.

Then he answered and spake vnto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord vnto Zerubbabel, saying, Neither by an armie nor strength, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hostes.

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.'

Who art thou, O great mountaine, before Zerubbabel? thou shalt be a plaine, and he shall bring foorth the head stone thereof, with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace vnto it.

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

Moreouer, the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,

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.

The handes of Zerubbabel haue layde the foundation of this house: his handes shall also finish it, and thou shalt knowe that the Lord of hostes hath sent me vnto you.

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.'

For who hath despised the day of the small thinges? but they shall reioyce, and shall see the stone of tinne in the hand of Zerubbabel: these seuen are the eyes of the Lord, which go thorow the whole world.

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

Then answered I, and said vnto him, What are these two oliue trees vpon the right and vpon the left side thereof?

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?'

And I spake moreouer, and said vnto him, What bee these two oliue branches, which thorowe the two golden pipes emptie themselues into the golde?

13 And he speaketh unto me, saying, 'Hast thou not known what these [are]?' And I say, 'No, my lord.'

And hee answered me, and saide, Knowest thou not what these bee? And I sayde, No, my Lord.

14 And he saith, 'These [are] the two sons of the oil, who are standing by the Lord of the whole earth.'

Then said he, These are the two oliue branches, that stand with the ruler of the whole earth.
