Zaccharias Propheta 4

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

And the angel that talked with me came again, and awaked me, as a man that is wakened 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 said to me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold, a chandelier all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps upon it, and seven pipes to the seven 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 spake, and said to the angel that talked with me, What mean 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 angel who talked with me answered and said to me, Knowest thou not what these mean? 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 spake to me, saying, This is the word of Jehovah to Zerubbabel, saying: — Not by might, nor by power, But by my spirit, Saith Jehovah of hosts.

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

What art thou, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain! And he shall bring forth the corner-stone amid shoutings, [[The people crying, ]] “Grace, grace be 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, and his hands shall finish it. And thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath 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 hath despised the day of small things? With joy shall the plummet be seen in the hand of Zerubbabel by those seven; they are 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 spake and said to him, What mean these two olive-trees, upon the right side of the chandelier and upon the left side thereof?

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 spake the second time, and said to him, What mean these two olive-branches, which are by the side of the two golden tubes which 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, Knowest thou not what these mean? And I said, No, my lord.

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

And he said, These are the two anointed ones that stand before the Lord of all the earth.
