New King James Version NKJV
New International Version NIV
1 Now the angel who talked with me came back and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep.
1
Then the angel who talked with me returned and woke me up, like someone awakened from sleep.
2 And he said to me, "What do you see?" So I said, "I am looking, and there is a lampstand of solid gold with a bowl on top of it, and on the stand seven lamps with seven pipes to the seven lamps.
2
He asked me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a solid gold lampstand with a bowl at the top and seven lamps on it, with seven channels to the lamps.
3 Two olive trees are by it, one at the right of the bowl and the other at its left."
3
Also there are two olive trees by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left.”
4 So I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, "What are these, my lord?"
4
I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?”
5 Then the angel who talked with me answered and said to me, "Do you not know what these are?" And I said, "No, my lord."
5
He answered, “Do you not know what these are?” “No, my lord,” I replied.
6 So he answered and said to me: "This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' Says the Lord of hosts.
6
So he said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty.
7 'Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And he shall bring forth the capstone With shouts of "Grace, grace to it!" ' "
7
“What are you, mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of ‘God bless it! God bless it!’ ”
8 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
8
Then the word of the LORD came to me:
9 "The hands of Zerubbabel Have laid the foundation of this temple; His hands shall also finish it. Then you will know That the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you.
9
“The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; his hands will also complete it. Then you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me to you.
