撒迦利亚书 4
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
兩棵橄欖樹的異象
4 那與我說話的天使回來喚醒我，我好像人在睡眠中被人喚醒一樣。
2 他對我說：“你看見了甚麼？”我回答：“我看見一個金燈臺，整個是金的，頂上有一個盆子，並有七盞燈；頂上的燈有七個燈嘴。 3 盆子旁邊有兩棵橄欖樹，一棵在右邊，一棵在左邊。”
4 我問那與我說話的天使，說：“我主啊，這些是甚麼？”
5 那與我說話的天使回答我說：“你不知道這些是甚麼意思嗎？”我說：“我主啊，我不知道。”
6 他對我說：“這是耶和華對所羅巴伯所說的話：‘不是倚靠權勢，不是倚靠能力，而是倚靠我的靈。’這是萬軍之耶和華說的。 7 大山啊！你算得甚麼？你在所羅巴伯面前必夷為平地！他必安放那塊平頂的石頭，必有歡呼的聲音說：‘願恩惠、恩惠歸與這殿（“這殿”原文作“她”）。’”
8 耶和華的話又臨到我說： 9 “所羅巴伯的手奠立了這殿的根基，他的手也必完成這工；這樣，你就知道萬軍之耶和華差遣了我到你們這裡來。 10 誰藐視這日子，以為所作的是小事呢？他們看見所羅巴伯手裡拿著測錘，就必歡喜。”
是耶和華的這七眼，遍察全地。
11 我又再問那天使：“在這燈臺左右的兩棵橄欖樹是甚麼意思？”
12 我又問他：“在兩根流出金色油的金管子旁邊的兩根橄欖樹枝，究竟是甚麼意思？”
13 他回答我：“你不知道這些是甚麼意思嗎？”我說：“我主啊，我不知道。”
14 他說：“這是兩位受膏者（“受膏者”或譯：“供應新油的人”），是服事全地之主的。”
Zechariah 4
International Standard Version
The Vision of the Golden Menorah
4 Then the angel who had been speaking with me returned and woke me up as if I had been asleep. 2 Then he asked me, “What do you see?”
So I said, “I have been watching—and look!—there is a menorah made completely of gold with a bowl on top of it. And there are seven lights on it, along with seven feeder channels to the lamps, which are also on top of it. 3 Two olive trees are near it, one on the right side of the bowl and one on the left.”
4 Then I asked the angel who had been speaking with me, “Sir,[a] what are these?”
5 The angel who had been speaking with me answered by asking, “You don’t know what these mean, do you?”
So I responded, “No, sir.”
The Lord’s First Charge to Zerubbabel
6 Then he replied to me, “This is this message from the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by valor nor by strength, but only by my Spirit,’ says the Lord of the Heavenly Armies. 7 ‘Who are you, great mountain? You will become a plain in Zerubbabel’s presence, and he will position the capstone, exulting over it, “How beautiful! How beautiful!”’”
The Lord’s Second Charge to Zerubbabel
8 Then this message from the Lord came to me again: 9 “Zerubbabel’s hands have laid the foundation of this Temple, and his hands will finish it, so that you will know that the Lord of the Heavenly Armies has sent me to all of you. 10 For who has despised the time[b] of insignificant things? They will rejoice to see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel.[c] These seven lights[d] represent the eyes of the Lord, which are looking throughout all of the earth.”
The Two Anointed Ones
11 Then I asked the angel,[e] “What are these two olive trees, one[f] on the right of the menorah and one[g] on the left?” 12 I also asked him a second question: “What are these two olive branches on either side of[h] the two golden feeder channels that carry the golden oil to the seven lights?”[i]
13 The angel[j] replied, “You don’t know what these are, do you?”
I responded to him, “No, sir.”
14 He said, “These are the two anointed ones,[k] who stand continuously beside the Lord of the whole earth.”

Zechariah 4
King James Version
4 And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.
2 And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:
3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.
4 So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
5 Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.
7 Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
8 Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you.
10 For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
11 Then answered I, and said unto 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 unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
