Захария 4
Russian New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
Золотой светильник и две маслины
4 Затем Ангел, который говорил со мной, подошёл и разбудил меня. Я был как после сна. 2 «Что ты видишь?»—спросил меня Ангел.
Я ответил: «Я вижу светильник, весь из золота, на нём семь лампад, а наверху стоит чаша для оливкового масла, из которой выходят семь трубочек, идущих к каждой лампаде. 3 С правой и с левой стороны чаши располагалось по оливковому дереву». 4 Тогда я спросил говорившего со мной Ангела: «Что всё это значит, господин мой?»
5 Затем Ангел ответил мне: «Разве ты не знаешь, что всё это означает?»
«Нет, господин»,—ответил я.
6 И тогда он сказал мне: «Это послание от Господа к Зоровавелю: „Твоя собственная власть и сила не помогут тебе. Твоя помощь придёт от Моего Духа”. Так говорит Господь Всемогущий! 7 Эта высокая гора будет для Зоровавеля равниной. Он построит храм, и, когда будет заложен краеугольный камень, народ закричит: „Великолепно! Великолепно!”»
8 Господь обратился ко мне с такими словами: 9 «Зоровавель заложит фундамент для Моего храма и закончит его строительство. И тогда вы узнаете, что Господь Всемогущий послал Меня к народу. 10 Люди не устыдятся малых дел и будут счастливы видеть, как Зоровавель держит в руке мерный отвес, измеряя и проверяя законченное здание. Семь сторон[a] камня, который ты видел,—это глаза Господа, смотрящие во все стороны. Они видят всё на земле».
11 Тогда я, Захария, сказал Ему: «Я видел одно оливковое дерево справа от светильника и одно слева. Что означают эти два оливковых дерева?» 12 Я также сказал: «Что означают две оливковые ветви около золотых трубочек, из которых вытекает золотистое масло?»
13 И спросил меня Ангел: «Разве ты не знаешь, что это означает?»
«Нет, господин мой»,—ответил я. 14 Тогда он сказал: «Они символизируют двух человек, которые были помазаны[b], чтобы служить Господу всего мира».

Vision of the Lampstand and Olive Trees
4 Now (A)the angel who talked with me came back and wakened me, (B)as a man who is wakened out of his sleep. 2 And he said to me, “What do you see?”
So I said, “I am looking, and there is (C)a lampstand of solid gold with a bowl on top of it, (D)and on the stand seven lamps with seven pipes to the seven lamps. 3 (E)Two olive trees are by it, one at the right of the bowl and the other at its left.” 4 So I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?”
5 Then the angel who talked with me answered and said to me, “Do you not know what these are?”
And I said, “No, my lord.”
6 So he answered and said to me:
“This is the word of the Lord to (F)Zerubbabel:
(G)‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’
Says the Lord of hosts.
7 ‘Who are you, (H)O great mountain?
Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain!
And he shall bring forth (I)the capstone
(J)With shouts of “Grace, grace to it!” ’ ”
8 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
9 “The hands of Zerubbabel
(K)Have laid the foundation of this [a]temple;
His hands (L)shall also finish it.
Then (M)you will know
That the (N)Lord of hosts has sent Me to you.
10 For who has despised the day of (O)small things?
For these seven rejoice to see
The [b]plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel.
(P)They are the eyes of the Lord,
Which scan to and fro throughout the whole earth.”
11 Then I answered and said to him, “What are these (Q)two olive trees—at the right of the lampstand and at its left?” 12 And I further answered and said to him, “What are these two olive branches that drip [c]into the receptacles of the two gold pipes from which the golden oil drains?”
13 Then he answered me and said, “Do you not know what these are?”
And I said, “No, my lord.”
14 So he said, (R)“These are the two [d]anointed ones, (S)who stand beside the Lord of the whole earth.”

The Fifth Vision: A Lampstand and Two Olive Trees
4 Then the angel who was speaking with me returned and woke me up in the same way that a man is awakened from sleep. 2 He said to me, “What do you see?”
I said, “Look! Right there, I see a lampstand, made entirely of gold, with a basin on top of it, with seven lamps on it, and there are seven channels leading to the lamps that are on top of it.[a] 3 There are two olive trees beside it, one to the right of the bowl, and one to its left.”
4 I asked the angel who was speaking with me, “What are these, my lord?”
5 The angel who was speaking with me answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?”
I answered, “No, my lord.”
6 So he said to me:
This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel. Not by might, not by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of Armies. 7 What are you, you great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a level plain. Then he will bring out the capstone with shouts of “Grace! Grace be with it!”
8 Then the word of the Lord came to me:
9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands will also finish it. Then you will know that the Lord of Armies has sent me to you.
10 For who despises the day of small things? They will rejoice to see the plumb line[b] in the hand of Zerubbabel.
These seven are the eyes of the Lord that range throughout the whole earth.
11 Then I asked him, “What are these two olive trees to the right and left of the lampstand?” 12 I asked him a second time, “What are the two olive branches that are beside the two gold conduits that pour out the golden oil?”
13 He said to me, “Don’t you know what these are?”
I said, “No, my lord.”
14 Then he said, “These are the two anointed ones[c] who stand by the Lord of all the earth.”
