Zechariah 4

HNV

NIV

1 The angel who talked with me came again, 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 He said to me, "What do you see?" I said, "I have seen, and, behold, a menorah all of gold, with its bowl on the top of it, and its seven lamps thereon; there are seven pipes to each of the lamps, which are on the top of 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 by it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on the left side 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 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 me, "Don't you know what these are?" I said, "No, my lord."
5 He answered, “Do you not know what these are?” “No, my lord,” I replied.
6 Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbavel, saying, '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, great mountain? before Zerubbavel [you are a plain; and he will bring out 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 Zerubbavel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands shall also finish it; and 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.
10 Indeed, who despises the day of small things? For these seven shall rejoice, and shall see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbavel. These are the eyes of the LORD, which run back and forth through the whole eretz."
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 Then I asked him, "What are these two olive trees on the right side of the menorah and on the left side of it?"
11 Then I asked the angel, “What are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the lampstand?”
12 I asked him the second time, "What are these two olive-branches, which are beside the two golden spouts, that pour the golden oil 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 He answered me, "Don't you know what these are?" I said, "No, my lord."
13 He replied, “Do you not know what these are?” “No, my lord,” I said.
14 Then he said, "These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole eretz."
14 So he said, “These are the two who are anointed to serve the Lord of all the earth.”
