1 και επεστρεψεν ο αγγελος ο λαλων εν εμοι και εξηγειρεν με ον τροπον οταν εξεγερθη ανθρωπος εξ υπνου αυτου1 And the angel who had been speaking with me returned, and he awakened me, like a man who is awakened from his sleep.
2 και ειπεν προς με τι συ βλεπεις και ειπα εωρακα και ιδου λυχνια χρυση ολη και το λαμπαδιον επανω αυτης και επτα λυχνοι επανω αυτης και επτα επαρυστριδες τοις λυχνοις τοις επανω αυτης2 And he said to me, “What do you see?” And I said, “I looked, and behold, a candlestick entirely in gold, and its lamp was at its top, and seven oil lamps of it were upon it, and there were seven funnels for the oil lamps that were at its top.
3 και δυο ελαιαι επανω αυτης μια εκ δεξιων του λαμπαδιου και μια εξ ευωνυμων3 And there were two olive trees upon it: one to the right of the lamp, and one to its left.”
4 και επηρωτησα και ειπον προς τον αγγελον τον λαλουντα εν εμοι λεγων τι εστιν ταυτα κυριε4 And I answered and spoke to the angel who was speaking with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?”
5 και απεκριθη ο αγγελος ο λαλων εν εμοι και ειπεν προς με ου γινωσκεις τι εστιν ταυτα και ειπα ουχι κυριε5 And the angel who was speaking with me answered, and he said to me, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.”
6 και απεκριθη και ειπεν προς με λεγων ουτος ο λογος κυριου προς ζοροβαβελ λεγων ουκ εν δυναμει μεγαλη ουδε εν ισχυι αλλ' η εν πνευματι μου λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ6 And he answered and spoke to me, saying: This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying: Not by an army, nor by might, but in my spirit, says the Lord of hosts.
7 τις ει συ το ορος το μεγα προ προσωπου ζοροβαβελ του κατορθωσαι και εξοισω τον λιθον της κληρονομιας ισοτητα χαριτος χαριτα αυτης7 What are you, great mountain, in the sight of Zerubbabel? You are among the plains. And he will lead out the primary stone, and he will give equal grace to its grace.
8 και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων8 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
9 αι χειρες ζοροβαβελ εθεμελιωσαν τον οικον τουτον και αι χειρες αυτου επιτελεσουσιν αυτον και επιγνωση διοτι κυριος παντοκρατωρ εξαπεσταλκεν με προς σε9 The hand of Zerubbabel has founded this house, and his hands will complete it. And you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you.
10 διοτι τις εξουδενωσεν εις ημερας μικρας και χαρουνται και οψονται τον λιθον τον κασσιτερινον εν χειρι ζοροβαβελ επτα ουτοι οφθαλμοι κυριου εισιν οι επιβλεποντες επι πασαν την γην10 For who has despised the little days? And they will rejoice and will see the silver and lead stone in the hand of Zerubbabel. These are the seven eyes of the Lord, which roam quickly through all the earth.
11 και απεκριθην και ειπα προς αυτον τι αι δυο ελαιαι αυται αι εκ δεξιων της λυχνιας και εξ ευωνυμων11 And I responded and said to him, “What are these two olive trees to the right of the candlestick, and to its left?”
12 και επηρωτησα εκ δευτερου και ειπα προς αυτον τι οι δυο κλαδοι των ελαιων οι εν ταις χερσιν των δυο μυξωτηρων των χρυσων των επιχεοντων και επαναγοντων τας επαρυστριδας τας χρυσας12 And I responded a second time and said to him, “What are the two olive branches, which are next to the two golden ridges, in which are the pouring spouts of gold?”
13 και ειπεν προς με ουκ οιδας τι εστιν ταυτα και ειπα ουχι κυριε13 And he spoke to me, saying, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.”
14 και ειπεν ουτοι οι δυο υιοι της πιοτητος παρεστηκασιν τω κυριω πασης της γης14 And he said, “These are the two sons of oil, who attend before the Sovereign of all the earth.”
