1 And the angel who had been speaking with me returned, and he awakened me, like a man who is awakened from his sleep.1 Et reversus est angelus, qui loquebatur in me, et excitavit me quasivirum, qui excitatur de somno suo.
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.2 Et dixit ad me: “Quid tu vides?”. Etdixi: “Vidi: et ecce candelabrum aureum totum, et ampulla super caput ipsius,et septem lucernae eius super illud, et septena infusoria lucernis, quae erantsuper caput eius.
3 And there were two olive trees upon it: one to the right of the lamp, and one to its left.”3 Et duae olivae super illud, una a dextris ampullae et una asinistris eius”.
4 And I answered and spoke to the angel who was speaking with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?”4 Et respondi et aio ad angelum, qui loquebatur in me, dicens: “Quid sunthaec, domine mi?”.
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.”5 Et respondit angelus, qui loquebatur in me, et dixit adme: “Numquid nescis quid sunt haec?”. Et dixi: “Non, domine mi”.
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.6 Et respondit et ait ad me dicens: “Hoc est verbum Domini ad Zorobabeldicens: Non in exercitu nec in robore sed in spiritu meo, dicit Dominusexercituum.
7 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.7 Quis tu, mons magne, coram Zorobabel? Eris in planum. Et educetlapidem primarium inter clamores: Quam venustus!
8 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:8 Et factum est verbum Dominiad me dicens:
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.9 Manus Zorobabel fundaverunt domum istam et manus eius perficienteam, et scietis quia Dominus exercituum misit me ad vos.
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.10 Quis enim despexitdiem initiorum parvorum? Et laetabuntur et videbunt lapidem stanneum in manuZorobabel. Septem illae oculi sunt Domini, qui discurrunt in universa terra”.
11 And I responded and said to him, “What are these two olive trees to the right of the candlestick, and to its left?”11 Et respondi et dixi ad eum: “Quid sunt duae olivae istae ad dexteramcandelabri et ad sinistram eius?”.
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?”12 Et respondi secundo et dixi ad eum: “Quidsunt duo rami olivarum, qui duabus fistulis aureis effundunt ex se aurum?”.
13 And he spoke to me, saying, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.”13 Et ait ad me dicens: “Numquid nescis quid sunt haec?”. Et dixi: “Non,domine mi”.
14 And he said, “These are the two sons of oil, who attend before the Sovereign of all the earth.”14 Et dixit: “Isti sunt duo filii olei, qui assistunt Dominatoriuniversae terrae”.
