撒迦利亚书 4
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
金灯台和橄榄树
4 那位与我说话的天使又来唤醒我，像唤醒睡觉的人一样。 2 他问我：“你看见了什么？”
我说：“我看见一个纯金的灯台，上面有一个油碗，灯台上有七盏灯，每盏灯有七个灯芯。 3 灯台旁边有两棵橄榄树，左右各一棵。” 4 我问与我说话的天使：“主啊，这是什么意思？” 5 他说：“你不知道吗？”我说：“主啊，我不知道。”
6 他对我说：“这是耶和华对所罗巴伯讲的话。万军之耶和华说，‘不靠权势，不靠才能，乃靠我的灵。 7 大山啊，你算什么？你必在所罗巴伯面前化为平地。他必搬出那块封殿顶的石头，伴随着欢呼声——愿恩典、恩典归于这殿！’”
8 耶和华的话又传给了我，说： 9 “所罗巴伯的手奠立这殿的根基，他的手也必完成这项工程。那时你便知道是万军之耶和华差遣我到你们这里来的。 10 谁敢藐视这微不足道的日子？人们看见所罗巴伯手中拿着线锤时，就必欢喜。
“这七盏灯是耶和华遍察天下的眼睛。”
11 我又问天使：“灯台左右的两棵橄榄树是什么意思？” 12 然后我又问道：“流出橄榄油的两个金管旁边的两根橄榄枝是什么意思？” 13 他说：“你不知道吗？”我说：“主啊，我不知道。” 14 他说：“这是侍立在天下之主旁边的两位受膏者。”
Zechariah 4
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
4 And the angel that spoke in me came again: and he waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.
2 And he said to me: What seest thou? And I said: I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, and its lamp upon the top of it: and the seven lights thereof upon it: and seven funnels for the lights that were upon the top thereof.
3 And two olive trees over it: one upon the right side of the lamp, and the other upon the left side thereof.
4 And I answered, and said to the angel that spoke in me, saying: What are these things, my lord?
5 And the angel that spoke in me answered, and said to me: Knowest thou not what these things are? And I said: No, my lord.
6 And he answered, and spoke to me, saying: This is the word of the Lord to Zorobabel, saying: Not with an army, nor by might, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.
7 Who art thou, O great mountain, before Zorobabel? thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring out the chief stone, and shall give equal grace to the grace thereof.
8 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
9 The hands of Zorobabel have laid the foundations of this house, and his hands shall finish it: and you shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me to you.
10 For who hath despised little days? and they shall rejoice, and shall see the tin plummet in the hand of Zorobabel. These are the seven eyes of the Lord, that run to and fro through the whole earth.
11 And I answered, and said to him: What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick, and upon the left side thereof?
12 And I answered again, and said to him: What are the two olive branches, that are by the two golden beaks, in which are the funnels of gold?
13 And he spoke to me, saying: Knowest thou not what these are? And I said: No, my lord.
14 And he said: These are two sons of oil who stand before the Lord of the whole earth.
