Ljusstaken av guld och de två olivträden
4 Ängeln som talade med mig kom tillbaka, och han väckte mig som när någon väcks ur sömnen. 2 Han sade till mig: "Vad ser du?" Jag svarade: "Jag ser en ljusstake, helt av guld, med sin oljeskål upptill och med sina sju lampor. Sju rör går till de särskilda lamporna däruppe. 3 Två olivträd sträcker sig över den, ett på högra sidan om skålen och ett på vänstra." 4 Och jag frågade ängeln som talade med mig: "Vad betyder dessa, min herre?" 5 Ängeln som talade med mig svarade: "Förstår du inte vad de betyder?" "Nej, min herre", sade jag. 6 Då sade han till mig:
"Detta är Herrens ord till Serubbabel:
Inte genom styrka,
inte genom kraft,
utan genom min Ande,
säger Herren Sebaot.
7 Vem är du, du stora berg?
Inför Serubbabel skall du förvandlas till jämn mark.
Ty han skall föra fram slutstenen
medan man ropar: Nåd, nåd över den!"
8 Och Herrens ord kom till mig. Han sade:
9 "Serubbabels händer har lagt grunden till detta hus.
Hans händer skall också göra det färdigt
och du skall förstå att Herren Sebaot har sänt mig till er.
10 Ty vem vill förakta den ringa begynnelsens dag?
De gläds över att se murlodet
i Serubbabels hand,
dessa Herrens sju ögon
som far omkring över hela jorden?"
11 Jag frågade honom: "Vad betyder dessa två olivträd till höger och till vänster om ljusstaken?" 12 Och jag frågade honom igen: "Vad betyder de två olivkvistarna intill de två gyllene rännor som den gyllene oljan rinner ner igenom?" 13 Då sade han till mig: "Förstår du inte vad de betyder?" Jag svarade: "Nej, min herre." 14 Då sade han: "Dessa två är de smorda som står inför hela jordens Herre."

The Gold Lampstand and the Two Olive Trees
4 Then the angel who talked with me returned and woke(A) me up, like someone awakened from sleep.(B) 2 He asked me, “What do you see?”(C)
I answered, “I see a solid gold lampstand(D) with a bowl at the top and seven lamps(E) on it, with seven channels to the lamps. 3 Also there are two olive trees(F) by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left.”
4 I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?”
5 He answered, “Do you not know what these are?”
“No, my lord,” I replied.(G)
6 So he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel:(H) ‘Not(I) by might nor by power,(J) but by my Spirit,’(K) says the Lord Almighty.
7 “What are you, mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground.(L) Then he will bring out the capstone(M) to shouts(N) of ‘God bless it! God bless it!’”
8 Then the word of the Lord came to me: 9 “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation(O) of this temple; his hands will also complete it.(P) Then you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me(Q) to you.
10 “Who dares despise the day(R) of small things,(S) since the seven eyes(T) of the Lord that range throughout the earth will rejoice when they see the chosen capstone[a] in the hand of Zerubbabel?”(U)
11 Then I asked the angel, “What are these two olive trees(V) on the right and the left of the lampstand?”
12 Again I asked him, “What are these two olive branches beside the two gold pipes that pour out golden oil?”
13 He replied, “Do you not know what these are?”
“No, my lord,” I said.
14 So he said, “These are the two who are anointed(W) to[b] serve the Lord of all the earth.”

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.”
