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 messenger who is speaking with me doth turn back, and stir me up as one who is stirred up 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 saith unto me, `What art thou seeing?' And I say, `I have looked, and lo, a candlestick of gold--all of it, and its bowl <FI>is<Fi> on its top, and its seven lamps <FI>are<Fi> upon it, and twice seven pipes <FI>are<Fi> to the lights that <FI>are<Fi> on its top,

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 <FI>are<Fi> by it, one on the right of the bowl, and one on its left.'

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

4And I answer and speak unto the messenger who is speaking with me, saying, `What <FI>are<Fi> 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.

5And the messenger who is speaking with me answereth and saith unto me, `Hast thou not known what these <FI>are<Fi> ?' And I say, `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.

6And he answereth and speaketh unto me, saying: `This <FI>is<Fi> a word of Jehovah unto Zerubbabel, saying: Not by a force, nor by power, But--by My Spirit, said Jehovah of Hosts.

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 <FI>art<Fi> thou, O great mountain Before Zerubbabel--for a plain! And he hath brought forth the top-stone, Cries of Grace, grace--<FI> are<Fi> to it.'

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

8And there is a word of Jehovah 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.

9Hands of Zerubbabel did found this house, And his hands do finish it, And thou hast known that Jehovah of Hosts Hath sent me unto 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 trampled on the day of small things, They have rejoiced, And seen the tin weight in the hand of Zerubbabel, These seven <FI>are<Fi> the eyes of Jehovah, They are going to and fro in all the land.'

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 answer and say unto him, `What <FI>are<Fi> these two olive-trees, on the right of the candlestick, and on its 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 I answer a second time, and say unto him, `What <FI>are<Fi> the two branches of the olive trees that, by means of the two golden pipes, are emptying out of themselves the oil?'

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

13And he speaketh unto me, saying, `Hast thou not known what these <FI>are<Fi> ?' And I say, `No, my lord.'

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

14And he saith, `These <FI>are<Fi> the two sons of the oil, who are standing by the Lord of the whole earth.'
