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 waked 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 lucernae eius super illud: et septem infusoria lucernis, quae erant super caput eius.

And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I see, and behold, a lamp-stand all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps thereon, seven [lamps] and seven pipes to the lamps, which are upon the top thereof;

3 Et duae olivae super illud: una a dextris lampadis, et una a sinistris eius.

and two olive-trees beside it, one on the right of the bowl, and the other on the left of it.

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

And I answered and spoke to the angel that 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 haec? Et dixi: Non, domine mi.

And the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not 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.

And he answered and spoke unto me, saying, This is the word of Jehovah unto 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 exaequabit gratiam gratiae eius.

Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel [thou dost become] a plain; and he shall bring forth the head-stone with shoutings: Grace, grace unto it!

8 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:

And the word of Jehovah came unto 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 unto you.

10 Quis enim despexit dies parvos? et laetabuntur, 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? Yea, they shall rejoice [even] those seven — and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel: these are the eyes of Jehovah, which run to and fro in the whole earth.

11 Et respondi, et dixi ad eum: Quid sunt duae olivae istae ad dexteram candelabri, et ad sinistram eius?

And I answered and said unto him, What are these two olive-trees on the right of the lamp-stand and on its left?

12 Et respondi secundo, et dixi ad eum: Quid sunt duae spicae olivarum, quae sunt iuxta duo rostra aurea, in quibus sunt suffusoria ex auro?

And I answered the second time and said unto him, What are the two olive-branches which are beside the two golden tubes that empty the gold out of themselves?

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

And he spoke to me, saying, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

14 Et dixit: Isti sunt duo filii olei, qui assistunt Dominatori universae terrae.

And he said, These are the two sons of oil, that stand before the Lord of the whole earth.
