Zacharias 4

LXX

NIV

1 And the angel that talked with me returned, and awakened me, as when a man is awakened 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 seest thou? And I said, I have seen, and behold a candlestick all of gold, and its bowl upon it, and seven lamps upon it, and seven oil funnels to the lamps upon it:
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 above it, one on the right of the bowl, and one on the left.
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 inquired, and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these things, 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 spoke to me, saying, Knowest thou not what these things are? And I said, No, lord.
5 He answered, “Do you not know what these are?” “No, my lord,” I replied.
6 And he answered and spoke to me, saying, This is the word of the Lord to Zorobabel, saying, Not by mighty power, nor by strength, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord Almighty.
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, the great mountain before Zorobabel, that thou shouldest prosper? whereas I will bring out the stone of the inheritance, the grace of it the equal of grace.
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 the Lord came to me, saying,
8 Then the word of the LORD came to me:
9 The hands of Zorobabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands shall finish it: and thou shalt know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to thee.
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 has despised the small days? surely they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet of tin in the hand of Zorobabel: these are the seven eyes that look upon all the 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 to him, What are these two olive-trees, which are on the right and left hand of the candlestick?
11 Then I asked the angel, “What are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the lampstand?”
12 And I asked the second time, and said to him, What are the two branches of the olive-trees that are by the side of the two golden pipes that pour into and communicate with the golden oil funnels?
12 Again I asked him, “What are these two olive branches beside the two gold pipes that pour out golden oil?”
13 And he said to me, Knowest thou not what these are? and I said, No, lord.
13 He replied, “Do you not know what these are?” “No, my lord,” I said.
14 And he said, These are the two anointed ones stand by 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.”
