< Zaccharias Propheta 4 >

1 et reversus est angelus qui loquebatur in me et suscitavit me quasi virum qui suscitatur de somno suo
The angel who talked with me came again and wakened me, as a man who 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 septem et septem infusoria lucernis quae erant super caput illius
He said to me, “What do you see?” I said, “I have seen, and behold, a lamp stand all of gold, with its bowl on the top of it, and its seven lamps on it; there are seven pipes to each of the lamps which are on the top of it;
3 et duae olivae super illud una a dextris lampadis et una a sinistris eius
and two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on the left side of it.”
4 et respondi et aio ad angelum qui loquebatur in me dicens quid sunt haec domine mi
I answered and spoke to the angel 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 haec et dixi non domine mi
Then the angel who talked with me answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?” 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 LORD’s word to Zerubbabel, saying, ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD of Armies.
7 quis tu mons magne coram Zorobabel in planum et educet lapidem primarium et exaequabit gratiam gratiae eius
Who are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you are a plain; and he will bring out the capstone with shouts of ‘Grace, grace, to it!’”
8 et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens
Moreover the LORD’s word 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 you will know that the LORD of Armies has sent me to 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
Indeed, who despises the day of small things? For these seven shall rejoice, and shall see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. These are the LORD’s eyes, which run back and forth through the whole earth.”
11 et respondi et dixi ad eum quid sunt duae olivae istae ad dextram candelabri et ad sinistram eius
Then I asked him, “What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lamp stand and on the left side of it?”
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
I asked him the second time, “What are these two olive branches, which are beside the two golden spouts that pour the golden oil out of themselves?”
13 et ait ad me dicens numquid nescis quid sunt haec et dixi non domine
He answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?” I said, “No, my lord.”
14 et dixit isti duo filii olei qui adsistunt Dominatori universae terrae
Then he said, “These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.”
