Zaccharias Propheta 4

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

And once more the messenger who was speaking with me, roused me up, just as a man might be roused up 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 septem et septem infusoria lucernis quae erant super caput illius

Then said he unto me, What canst thou see? And I said—I have looked, and lo! a Lampstand—all of gold, with the Bowl thereof upon the top thereof, and its Seven Lamps upon it, Seven Pipes each, 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, by it, —one upon the right hand of the bowl, and one upon the left hand thereof.

4 et respondi et aio ad angelum qui loquebatur in me dicens quid sunt haec domine mi

Then responded I, and said unto the messenger who was speaking 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

Then answered the messenger who was speaking with me, 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

Then responded he, and spake unto me, saying, This, is the word of Yahweh, unto Zerubbabel, saying, —Not by wealth, nor by strength, but by my spirit, saith Yahweh 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, [brought down] to a plain! So shall he bring forth the headstone, with thundering shouts Beautiful! Beautiful! thereunto.

8 et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens

Then came the word of Yahweh 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 founded this house, and, his hands, shall finish it, —So shalt thou know that, Yahweh of hosts, hath sent me unto you.

10 quis enim despexit dies parvos et laetabuntur et videbunt lapidem stagneum in manu Zorobabel septem isti oculi Domini qui discurrunt in universa terra

For who hath despised the day of small things? Yet shall they rejoice, when they see the plummet-stone in the hand of Zerubbabel, —these seven! The eyes of Yahweh, they are—running to and fro throughout all the earth.

11 et respondi et dixi ad eum quid sunt duae olivae istae ad dextram candelabri et ad sinistram eius

Then responded I, and said unto him, —What are these two olive-trees, upon the right of the lampstand, and upon the left thereof?

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 responded a second time, and said unto him, —What are the two branches of the olive- trees which join the two golden tubes, which empty out of them the golden oil?

13 et ait ad me dicens numquid nescis quid sunt haec et dixi non domine

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

14 et dixit isti duo filii olei qui adsistunt Dominatori universae terrae

Then said he, These, are the two Anointed Ones, —who stand near the Lord of all the earth.
