DBY

NIV

1 And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that 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 unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I see, and behold, a lamp-stand all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps thereon, seven [lamps] and seven pipes to the lamps, which are upon the top thereof;
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 and two olive-trees beside it, one on the right of the bowl, and the other on the left of it.
3 Also there are two olive trees by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left.”
4 And I answered and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
4 I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?”
5 And the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not 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 And he answered and spoke unto me, saying, This is the word of Jehovah unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith Jehovah 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 art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel [thou dost become] a plain; and he shall bring forth the head-stone with shoutings: Grace, grace unto 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 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
8 Then the word of the LORD came to me:
9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; and his hands shall finish it: and thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto 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.
10 For who hath despised the day of small things? Yea, they shall rejoice [even] those seven -- and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel: these are the eyes of Jehovah, which run to and fro in the whole earth.
10 “Who dares despise the day of small things, since the seven eyes of the LORD that range throughout the earth will rejoice when they see the chosen capstone in the hand of Zerubbabel?”
11 And I answered and said unto him, What are these two olive-trees on the right of the lamp-stand and on its left?
11 Then I asked the angel, “What are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the lampstand?”
12 And I answered the second time and said unto him, What are the two olive-branches which are beside the two golden tubes that empty the gold out of themselves?
12 Again I asked him, “What are these two olive branches beside the two gold pipes that pour out golden oil?”
13 And he spoke to me, saying, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, No, my lord.
13 He replied, “Do you not know what these are?” “No, my lord,” I said.
14 And he said, These are the two sons of oil, that stand before the Lord of the whole earth.
14 So he said, “These are the two who are anointed to serve the Lord of all the earth.”
