1. Then the angel who was talking with me returned and woke me up as if I had been asleep.
|
1. And the angel H4397 that talked H1696 with me came again H7725 , and waked H5782 me , as a man H376 that H834 is wakened H5782 out of his sleep H4480 H8142 ,
|
|
2. He asked me, "What do you see?" I said, "I see a solid gold lampstand with a bowl at the top. And there are seven lamps and also seven places for wicks.
|
2. And said H559 unto H413 me, What H4100 seest H7200 thou H859 ? And I said H559 , I have looked H7200 , and behold H2009 a candlestick H4501 all H3605 of gold H2091 , with a bowl H1543 upon H5921 the top H7218 of it , and his seven H7651 lamps H5216 thereon H5921 , and seven H7651 pipes H4166 to the seven H7651 lamps H5216 , which H834 are upon H5921 the top H7218 thereof:
|
|
3. There are two olive trees by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on the left."
|
3. And two H8147 olive trees H2132 by H5921 it, one H259 upon the right H4480 H3225 side of the bowl H1543 , and the other H259 upon H5921 the left H8040 side thereof.
|
|
4. I asked the angel who talked with me, "Sir, what are these?"
|
4. So I answered H6030 and spoke H559 to H413 the angel H4397 that talked H1696 with me, saying H559 , What H4100 are these H428 , my lord H113 ?
|
|
5. The angel said, "Don't you know what they are?" "No, sir," I said.
|
5. Then the angel H4397 that talked H1696 with me answered H6030 and said H559 unto H413 me, Knowest H3045 thou not H3808 what H4100 these H428 be? And I said H559 , No H3808 , my lord H113 .
|
|
6. Then he told me, "This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: 'You will not succeed by your own strength or power, but by my Spirit,' says the Lord All-Powerful.
|
6. Then he answered H6030 and spoke H559 unto H413 me, saying H559 , This H2088 is the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 unto H413 Zerubbabel H2216 , saying H559 , Not H3808 by might H2428 , nor H3808 by power H3581 , but H3588 H518 by my spirit H7307 , saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 .
|
|
7. "Who are you, big mountain? In front of Zerubbabel you will become flat land, and he will bring out the topmost stone, shouting, 'It's beautiful! It's beautiful!'"
|
7. Who H4310 art thou H859 , O great H1419 mountain H2022 ? before H6440 Zerubbabel H2216 thou shalt become a plain H4334 : and he shall bring forth H3318 H853 the headstone H68 H7222 thereof with shoutings H8663 , crying , Grace H2580 , grace H2580 unto it.
|
|
8. Then the Lord spoke his word to me again, saying,
|
8. Moreover the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 me, saying H559 ,
|
|
9. "Zerubbabel has laid the foundation of this Temple, and he will complete it. Then you will know that the Lord All-Powerful has sent me to you.
|
9. The hands H3027 of Zerubbabel H2216 have laid the foundation H3245 of this H2088 house H1004 ; his hands H3027 shall also finish H1214 it ; and thou shalt know H3045 that H3588 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 hath sent H7971 me unto H413 you.
|
|
10. "The people should not think that small beginnings are unimportant. They will be happy when they see Zerubbabel with tools, building the Temple. "(These are the seven eyes of the Lord, which look back and forth across the earth.)"
|
10. For H3588 who H4310 hath despised H936 the day H3117 of small things H6996 ? for they shall rejoice H8055 , and shall see H7200 H853 the plummet H68 H913 in the hand H3027 of Zerubbabel H2216 with those H428 seven H7651 ; they H1992 are the eyes H5869 of the LORD H3068 , which run to and fro H7751 through the whole H3605 earth H776 .
|
|
11. Then I asked the angel, "What are the two olive trees on the right and left of the lampstand?"
|
11. Then answered H6030 I , and said H559 unto H413 him, What H4100 are these H428 two H8147 olive trees H2132 upon H5921 the right H3225 side of the candlestick H4501 and upon H5921 the left H8040 side thereof?
|
|
12. I also asked him, "What are the two olive branches beside the two gold pipes, from which the olive oil flows to the lamps?"
|
12. And I answered H6030 again H8145 , and said H559 unto H413 him, What H4100 be these two H8147 olive H2132 branches H7641 which H834 through H3027 the two H8147 golden H2091 pipes H6804 empty H7324 the golden H2091 oil out of H4480 H5921 themselves?
|
|
13. He answered, "Don't you know what they are?" "No, sir," I said.
|
13. And he answered H559 H413 me and said H559 , Knowest H3045 thou not H3808 what H4100 these H428 be ? And I said H559 , No H3808 , my lord H113 .
|
|
14. So he said, "They are symbols of the two who have been appointed to serve the Lord of all the earth."
|
14. Then said H559 he, These H428 are the two H8147 anointed ones H1121 H3323 , that stand H5975 by H5921 the Lord H113 of the whole H3605 earth H776 .
