ゼカリヤ書 4
1 我に語へる天の使また來りて我を呼醒せり我は睡れる人の呼醒されしごとくなりき
And the angel that talked with me returned, and awakened me, as when a man is awakened out of his sleep.
2 彼我にむかひて汝何を見るやと言ければ我いへり我觀に惣金の燈臺一箇ありてその頂に油を容る噐ありまた燈臺の上に七箇の燭盞ありその燭盞は燈臺の頂にありて之に各七本づつの管あり
And he said to me, What seest thou? And I said, I have seen, and behold a candlestick all of gold, and its bowl upon it, and seven lamps upon it, and seven oil funnels to the lamps upon it:
3 また燈臺の側に橄欖の樹二本ありて一は油を容る噐の右にあり一はその左にあり
and two olive-trees above it, one on the right of the bowl, and one on the left.
4 我答へて我と語ふ天の使の問言けるは我主よ是等は何ぞやと
And I inquired, and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these things, [my] lord?
5 我と語ふ天の使我に答へて汝是等の何なるを知ざるかと言しにより我主よ知ずとわれ言り
And the angel that talked with me answered, and spoke to me, saying, Knowest thou not what these things are? And I said, No, [my] lord.
6 彼また答へて我に言けるはゼルバベルにヱホバの告たまふ言は是のごとし萬軍のヱホバ宣ふ是は權勢に由らず能力に由らず我靈に由るなり
And he answered and spoke to me, saying, This is the word of the Lord to Zorobabel, saying, Not by mighty power, nor by strength, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord Almighty.
7 ゼルバベルの前にあたれる大山よ汝は何者ぞ汝は平地とならん彼は恩惠あれ之に恩惠あれと呼はる聲をたてて頭石を曳いださん
Who art thou, the great mountain before Zorobabel, that thou shouldest prosper? whereas I will bring out the stone of the inheritance, the grace of it the equal of [my ] grace.
8 ヱホバの言われに臨めり云く
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
9 ゼルバベルの手この室の石礎を置たり彼の手これを成終ん汝しらん萬軍のヱホバ我を汝等に遣したまひしと
The hands of Zorobabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands shall finish it: and thou shalt know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to thee.
10 誰か小き事の日を藐視むる者ぞ夫の七の者は遍く全地に往來するヱホバの目なり準繩のゼルバベルの手にあるを見て喜ばん
For who has despised the small days? surely they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet of tin in the hand of Zorobabel: these are the seven eyes that look upon all the earth.
11 我また彼に問て燈臺の右左にある此二本の橄欖の樹は何なるやと言ひ
And I answered, and said to him, What are these two olive-trees, which are on the right and left hand of the candlestick?
12 重ねてまた彼に問て此二本の金の管によりて金の油をその中より斟ぎ出す二枝の橄欖は何ぞやと言しに
And I asked the second time, and said to him, What are the two branches of the olive-trees that are by the side of the two golden pipes that pour into and communicate with the golden oil funnels?
13 彼われに答へて汝是等の何なるを知ざるかと言ければ我主よ知ずと言けるに
And he said to me, Knowest thou not what these are? and I said, No, [my] lord.
14 彼言らく是等は油の二箇の子にして全地の主の前に立つ者なり
And he said, These are the two anointed ones [that] stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
