Zacharie 4

4 L'ange qui parlait avec moi revint, et il me réveilla comme un homme que l'on réveille de son sommeil.
2 Il me dit: Que vois-tu? Je répondis: Je regarde, et voici, il y a un chandelier tout d'or, surmonté d'un vase et portant sept lampes, avec sept conduits pour les lampes qui sont au sommet du chandelier;
3 et il y a près de lui deux oliviers, l'un à la droite du vase, et l'autre à sa gauche.
4 Et reprenant la parole, je dis à l'ange qui parlait avec moi: Que signifient ces choses, mon seigneur?
5 L'ange qui parlait avec moi me répondit: Ne sais-tu pas ce que signifient ces choses? Je dis: Non, mon seigneur.
6 Alors il reprit et me dit: C'est ici la parole que l'Éternel adresse à Zorobabel: Ce n'est ni par la puissance ni par la force, mais c'est par mon esprit, dit l'Éternel des armées.
7 Qui es-tu, grande montagne, devant Zorobabel? Tu seras aplanie. Il posera la pierre principale au milieu des acclamations: Grâce, grâce pour elle!
8 La parole de l'Éternel me fut adressée, en ces mots:
9 Les mains de Zorobabel ont fondé cette maison, et ses mains l'achèveront; et tu sauras que l'Éternel des armées m'a envoyé vers vous.
10 Car ceux qui méprisaient le jour des faibles commencements se réjouiront en voyant le niveau dans la main de Zorobabel. Ces sept sont les yeux de l'Éternel, qui parcourent toute la terre.
11 Je pris la parole et je lui dis: Que signifient ces deux oliviers, à la droite du chandelier et à sa gauche?
12 Je pris une seconde fois la parole, et je lui dis: Que signifient les deux rameaux d'olivier, qui sont près des deux conduits d'or d'où découle l'or?
13 Il me répondit: Ne sais-tu pas ce qu'ils signifient? Je dis: Non, mon seigneur.
14 Et il dit: Ce sont les deux oints qui se tiennent devant le Seigneur de toute la terre.
Zecharyah 4
Orthodox Jewish Bible
4 And the malach that spoke with me returned, and awakened me, like a man that is wakened out of his sleep.
2 And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and hinei a menorat zahav, solid gold, with an oil vessel upon the top of it, and shivah nerot (lamps) thereon, and shivah tubes to the shivah nerot (lamps), which are upon the top thereof:
3 And two zeytim (olive trees) by it, one upon the right side of the oil vessel, and the other upon the left side thereof.
4 So I answered and spoke to the malach that spoke with me, saying, What are these, adoni?
5 Then the malach that spoke with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, Lo (no), adoni.
6 Then he answered and spoke unto me, saying, This is the Devar Hashem unto Zerubavel, saying, Not by might, nor by ko’ach (power), but by My Ruach [Hakodesh], saith Hashem Tzva’os.
7 Who art thou, O har hagadol (great mountain), before Zerubavel? Thou shalt become a plain; and he shall bring forth the even haroshah (cornerstone) thereof with shoutings, crying, Chen, chen (Grace, grace) unto it.
8 Moreover the Devar Hashem came unto me, saying,
9 The hands of Zerubavel have laid the Yesod (foundation) of this Beis [HaMikdash]; his hands shall also finish it; then thou shalt know that Hashem Tzva’os hath sent me unto you.
10 For who hath despised the Yom Ketannot (day of small things)? For they shall have simcha, and shall see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubavel with these shivah; they are the eyes of Hashem, which run to and fro throughout kol ha’aretz.
11 Then I replied by asking him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the menorah and upon the left side thereof?
12 And I asked again, and said unto him, What are these two branches of the zeytim which through the two golden sprouts pour the gold-colored oil out of themselves?
13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, Lo (no), adoni.
14 Then said he, These are the two bnei hayitzhar (sons of oil), that stand by Adon Kol HaA’retz [T.N. See Malachi 3:1 where Moshiach is referred to similarly].
Zechariah 4
New International Version
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.”
