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

Then the angel who was speaking with me returned and roused me, as a man who is awakened from his sleep.

2 H e 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;

He said to me, “ What do you see?” And I said, “I see, and behold, a lampstand all of gold with its bowl on the top of it, and its seven lamps on it with seven spouts belonging to each of the lamps which are on the top of it;

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

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

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

Then I said to the angel who was speaking with me saying, “What are these, my lord?”

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

So the angel who was speaking with me answered and said to me, “ Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.”

6 T hen 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.

Then he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel saying, ‘ Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of hosts.

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

‘What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain; and he will bring forth the top stone with shouts of “Grace, grace to it!”’”

8 M oreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

Also the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

9 “ 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.

“The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands will finish it. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you.

10 I ndeed, 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.”

For who has despised the day of small things? But these seven will be glad when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel— these are the eyes of the Lord which range to and fro throughout the earth.”

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

Then I said to him, “What are these two olive trees on the right of the lampstand and on its left?”

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?”

And I answered the second time and said to him, “What are the two olive branches which are beside the two golden pipes, which empty the golden oil from themselves?”

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

So he answered me, saying, “ Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.”

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

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