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 mee, came againe and waked mee, as a man that is raysed out of his sleepe,
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 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 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 oliue trees ouer it, one vpon the right side of the bowle, and the other vpon the left side thereof.
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
So I answered, and spake to the Angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, 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
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 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
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 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, 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 ヱホバの言われに臨めり云く
Moreouer, the word of the Lord came vnto 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 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 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 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 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
Then answered I, and said vnto him, What are these two oliue trees vpon the right and vpon the left side thereof?
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 spake moreouer, and said vnto him, What bee these two oliue branches, which thorowe the two golden pipes emptie themselues into the golde?
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 hee answered me, and saide, Knowest thou not what these bee? And I sayde, 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
Then said he, These are the two oliue branches, that stand with the ruler of the whole earth.
