Zaccharias Propheta 4

1 Et reversus est angelus, qui loquebatur in me, et suscitavit me, quasi virum, qui suscitatur de somno suo.

And the agent who talked with me came again, and awoke me, as a man who is awakened out of his sleep.

2 Et dixit ad me: Quid tu vides? Et dixi: Vidi, et ecce candelabrum aureum totum, et lampas eius super caput ipsius, et septem lucernæ eius super illud: et septem infusoria lucernis, quæ erant super caput eius.

And he said to me, What do thou see? And I said, I have seen, and, behold, a lampstand all of gold, with its bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps on it. There are seven pipes to each of the lamps, which are upon the top of it,

3 Et duæ olivæ super illud: una a dextris lampadis, et una a sinistris eius.

and two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side of it.

4 Et respondi, et aio ad angelum, qui loquebatur in me, dicens: Quid sunt hæc, domine mi?

And I answered and spoke to the agent who talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?

5 Et respondit angelus, qui loquebatur in me, et dixit ad me: Numquid nescis quid sunt hæc? Et dixi: Non, domine mi.

Then the agent who talked with me answered and said to me, Do thou not know what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

6 Et respondit, et ait ad me, dicens: Hoc est verbum Domini ad Zorobabel, dicens: Non in exercitu, nec in robore, sed in spiritu meo, dicit Dominus exercituum.

Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, This is the word of Jehovah to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says Jehovah of hosts.

7 Quis tu mons magne coram Zorobabel? in planum: et educet lapidem primarium, et exæquabit gratiam gratiæ eius.

Who are thou, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel thou shall become a plain, and he shall bring forth the top stone with shoutings of Grace, grace, to it.

8 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:

Moreover the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

9 Manus Zorobabel fundaverunt domum istam, et manus eius perficient eam: et scietis quia Dominus exercituum misit me ad vos.

The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands shall also finish it. And thou shall know that Jehovah of hosts has sent me to you.

10 Quis enim despexit dies parvos? et lætabuntur, et videbunt lapidem stanneum in manu Zorobabel. Septem isti oculi sunt Domini, qui discurrunt in universam terram.

For who has despised the day of small things? For these seven shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel, the eyes of Jehovah, which run to and fro through the whole earth.

11 Et respondi, et dixi ad eum: Quid sunt duæ olivæ istæ ad dexteram candelabri, et ad sinistram eius?

Then I answered, and said to him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the lampstand and upon the left side of it?

12 Et respondi secundo, et dixi ad eum: Quid sunt duæ spicæ olivarum, quæ sunt iuxta duo rostra aurea, in quibus sunt suffusoria ex auro?

And I answered the second time, and said to him, What are these two olive-branches, which are beside the two golden spouts that empty the golden oil out of themselves?

13 Et ait ad me, dicens: Numquid nescis quid sunt hæc? Et dixi: Non, domine mi.

And he answered me and said, Do thou not know what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

14 Et dixit: Isti sunt duo filii olei, qui assistunt Dominatori universæ terræ.

Then he said, These are the two anointed ones, who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
