1 Και επεστρεψεν ο αγγελος ο λαλων μετ' εμου και με εξηγειρεν ως ανθρωπον εξεγειρομενον απο του υπνου αυτου,1 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 ειπε προς εμε, Τι βλεπεις συ; Και ειπα, Εθεωρησα και ιδου, λυχνια ολη χρυση και δοχειον επι της κορυφης αυτης, και οι επτα λυχνοι αυτης επ' αυτης και επτα σωληνες εις τους λυχνους τους επι της κορυφης αυτης,2 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 επανωθεν αυτης, μια εκ δεξιων του δοχειου και μια εξ αριστερων αυτης.3 And there were two olive trees upon it: one to the right of the lamp, and one to its left.”
4 Και απεκριθην και ειπα προς τον αγγελον τον λαλουντα μετ' εμου, λεγων, Τι ειναι ταυτα, κυριε μου;4 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 μετ' εμου και ειπε προς εμε, Δεν γνωριζεις τι ειναι ταυτα; Και ειπα, Ουχι, κυριε μου.5 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 ειπε προς εμε, λεγων, Ουτος ειναι ο λογος του Κυριου προς τον Ζοροβαβελ, λεγων, Ουχι δια δυναμεως ουδε δια ισχυος αλλα δια του Πνευματος μου, λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων.6 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 εισαι συ, το ορος το μεγα, εμπροσθεν του Ζοροβαβελ; πεδιας? και θελει εκφερει τον ακρογωνιαιον λιθον εν αλαλαγμω, Χαρις, χαρις εις αυτον7 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 εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς εμε, λεγων,8 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
9 Αι χειρες του Ζοροβαβελ εθεσαν το θεμελιον του οικου τουτου και αι χειρες αυτου θελουσι τελειωσει αυτον? και θελεις γνωρισει οτι ο Κυριος των δυναμεων με απεστειλε προς εσας.9 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 κατεφρονησε την ημεραν των μικρων πραγματων; θελουσι βεβαιως χαρη και θελουσιν ιδει τον κασσιτερινον λιθον εν τη χειρι του Ζοροβαβελ οι επτα εκεινοι οφθαλμοι του Κυριου, οι περιτρεχοντες δια πασης της γης.10 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 Τοτε απεκριθην και ειπα προς αυτον, Τι ειναι αι δυο αυται ελαιαι επι τα δεξια της λυχνιας και επι τα αριστερα αυτης;11 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 απεκριθην εκ δευτερου και ειπα προς αυτον, Τι ειναι οι δυο κλαδοι των ελαιων, οιτινες δια των δυο χρυσων σωληνων εκκενονουσιν εξ εαυτων το ελαιον εις την χρυσην λυχνιαν;12 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 ειπε προς εμε λεγων, Δεν γνωριζεις τι ειναι ταυτα; Και ειπα, Ουχι, κυριε μου.13 And he spoke to me, saying, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.”
14 Τοτε ειπεν, Ουτοι ειναι οι δυο κεχρισμενοι, οι παρισταμενοι πλησιον του Κυριου πασης της γης.14 And he said, “These are the two sons of oil, who attend before the Sovereign of all the earth.”
