Zechariah 4

1And the angel that spoke in me came again: and he waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.

1And the angel who was talking to me came again, awaking me as a man out of his sleep.

2And he said to me: What seest thou? And I said: I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, and its lamp upon the top of it: and the seven lights thereof upon it: and seven funnels for the lights that were upon the top thereof.

2And he said to me, What do you see? And I said, I see a light-support, made all of gold, with its cup on the top of it and seven lights on it; and there are seven pipes to every one of the lights which are on the top of it;

3And two olive trees over it: one upon the right side of the lamp, and the other upon the left side thereof.

3And two olive-trees by it, one on the right side of the cup and one on the left.

4And I answered, and said to the angel that spoke in me, saying: What are these things, my lord?

4And I made answer and said to the angel who was talking to me, What are these, my lord?

5And the angel that spoke in me answered, and said to me: Knowest thou not what these things are? And I said: No, my lord.

5Then the angel who was talking to me, answering me, said, Have you no knowledge of what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

6And he answered, and spoke to me, saying: This is the word of the Lord to Zorobabel, saying: Not with an army, nor by might, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.

6This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by force or by power, but by my spirit, says the Lord of armies.

7Who art thou, O great mountain, before Zorobabel? thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring out the chief stone, and shall give equal grace to the grace thereof.

7Who are you, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel you will become level: and he will let all see the headstone, with cries of Grace, grace, to it.

8And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

8Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

9The hands of Zorobabel have laid the foundations of this house, and his hands shall finish it: and you shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me to you.

9The hands of Zerubbabel have put the base of this house in place, and his hands will make it complete; and it will be clear to you that the Lord of armies has sent me to you.

10For who hath despised little days? and they shall rejoice, and shall see the tin plummet in the hand of Zorobabel. These are the seven eyes of the Lord, that run to and fro through the whole earth.

10For who has had a poor opinion of the day of small things? for they will be glad when they see the weighted measuring-line in the hand of Zerubbabel. Then he said in answer to me, These seven lights are the eyes of the Lord which go quickly up and down through all the earth.

11And I answered, and said to him: What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick, and upon the left side thereof ?

11And I made answer and said to him, What are these two olive-trees on the right side of the light-support and on the left?

12And I answered again, and said to him: What are the two olive branches, that are by the two golden beaks, in which are the funnels of gold?

12And answering a second time, I said to him, What are these two olive branches, through whose gold pipes the oil is drained out?

13And he spoke to me, saying: Knowest thou not what these are? And I said: No, my lord.

13And he said in answer to me, Have you no knowledge what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

14And he said: These are two sons of oil who stand before the Lord of the whole earth.

14And he said, These are the two sons of oil, whose place is by the Lord of all the earth.
