1 And the angel that spoke in me came again: and he waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.
1
The angel who talked with me came again, and wakened me, as one is wakened from sleep.
2 And 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.
2
He said to me, "What do you see?" And I said, "I see a lampstand all of gold, with a bowl on the top of it; there are seven lamps on it, with seven lips on each of the lamps that are on the top of it.
3 And two olive trees over it: one upon the right side of the lamp, and the other upon the left side thereof.
3
And by it there are two olive trees, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left."
4 And I answered, and said to the angel that spoke in me, saying: What are these things, my lord?
4
I said to the angel who talked with me, "What are these, my lord?"
5 And the angel that spoke in me answered, and said to me: Knowest thou not what these things are? And I said: No, my lord.
5
Then the angel who talked with me answered me, "Do you not know what these are?" I said, "No, my lord."
6 And 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.
6
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 of hosts.
7 Who 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.
7
What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain; and he shall bring out the top stone amid shouts of "Grace, grace to it!' "
8 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
8
Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
9 The 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.
9
"The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also complete it. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you.
10 For 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.
10
For whoever has despised the day of small things shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel. "These seven are the eyes of the Lord, which range through the whole earth."
11 And 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?
11
Then I said to him, "What are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the lampstand?"
12 And 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?
12
And a second time I said to him, "What are these two branches of the olive trees, which pour out the oil through the two golden pipes?"
13 And he spoke to me, saying: Knowest thou not what these are? And I said: No, my lord.
13
He said to me, "Do you not know what these are?" I said, "No, my lord."
14 And he said: These are two sons of oil who stand before the Lord of the whole earth.
14
Then he said, "These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth."
