1 A nd the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep,

The angel who talked with me came again, and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep.

2 a nd said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:

He said to me, “What do you see?” I said, “I have seen, and behold, a lamp stand all of gold, with its bowl on the top of it, and its seven lamps on it; there are seven pipes to each of the lamps, which are on the top of it;

3 a nd two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.

and two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on the left side of it.”

4 S o I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?

I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?”

5 T hen the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.

Then the angel who talked with me answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?” I said, “No, my lord.”

6 T hen he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.

Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, “This is Yahweh’s word to Zerubbabel, saying, ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says Yahweh of Armies.

7 W ho art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.

Who are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you are a plain; and he will bring out the capstone with shouts of ‘Grace, grace, to it!’”

8 M oreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

9 T he hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you.

“The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands shall also finish it; and you will know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you.

10 F or who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro through the whole earth.

Indeed, who despises the day of small things? For these seven shall rejoice, and shall see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. These are Yahweh’s eyes, which run back and forth through the whole earth.”

11 T hen answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?

Then I asked him, “What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lamp stand and on the left side of it?”

12 A nd I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?

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?”

13 A nd he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.

He answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?” I said, “No, my lord.”

14 T hen said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.

Then he said, “These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.”
