Prophetia Zachariae, 4
1. Et reversus est angelus, qui loquebatur in me, et excitavit me quasi virum, qui excitatur de somno suo.
1. And the angel who talked with me came again, and waked me, like a man that is wakened out of his sleep.
2. Et dixit ad me: “Quid tu vides?”. Et dixi: “Vidi: et ecce candelabrum aureum totum, et ampulla super caput ipsius, et septem lucernae eius super illud, et septena infusoria lucernis, quae erant super caput eius.
2. And he said to me, "What do you see?" I said, "I see, and behold, a lampstand all of gold, with a bowl on the top of it, and seven lamps on it, with seven lips on each of the lamps which are on the top of it.
3. Et duae olivae super illud, una a dextris ampullae et una a sinistris eius”.
3. And there are two olive trees by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left."
4. Et respondi et aio ad angelum, qui loquebatur in me, dicens: “Quid sunt haec, domine mi?”.
4. And I said to the angel who talked with me, "What are these, my lord?"
5. Et respondit angelus, qui loquebatur in me, et dixit ad me: “Numquid nescis quid sunt haec?”. Et dixi: “Non, domine mi”.
5. Then the angel who talked with me answered me, "Do you not know what these are?" I said, "No, my lord."
6. Et respondit et ait ad me dicens: “Hoc est verbum Domini ad Zorobabel dicens: Non in exercitu nec in robore sed in spiritu meo, dicit Dominus exercituum.
6. Then he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerub'babel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of hosts.
7. Quis tu, mons magne, coram Zorobabel? Eris in planum. Et educet lapidem primarium inter clamores: Quam venustus!
7. What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerub'babel you shall become a plain; and he shall bring forward the top stone amid shouts of `Grace, grace to it!'"
8. Et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens:
8. Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
9. Manus Zorobabel fundaverunt domum istam et manus eius perficient eam, et scietis quia Dominus exercituum misit me ad vos.
9. "The hands of Zerub'babel 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. Quis enim despexit diem initiorum parvorum? Et laetabuntur et videbunt lapidem stanneum in manu Zorobabel. Septem illae oculi sunt Domini, qui discurrunt in universa terra”.
10. For whoever has despised the day of small things shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerub'babel. "These seven are the eyes of the LORD, which range through the whole earth."
11. Et respondi et dixi ad eum: “Quid sunt duae olivae istae ad dexteram candelabri et ad sinistram eius?”.
11. Then I said to him, "What are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the lampstand?"
12. Et respondi secundo et dixi ad eum: “Quid sunt duo rami olivarum, qui duabus fistulis aureis effundunt ex se aurum?”.
12. And a second time I said to him, "What are these two branches of the olive trees, which are beside the two golden pipes from which the oil is poured out?"
13. Et ait ad me dicens: “Numquid nescis quid sunt haec?”. Et dixi: “Non, domine mi”.
13. He said to me, "Do you not know what these are?" I said, "No, my lord."
14. Et dixit: “Isti sunt duo filii olei, qui assistunt Dominatori universae terrae”.
14. Then he said, "These are the two anointed who stand by the Lord of the whole earth."
