Fifth Vision: Gold Lampstand
4 The angel who was speaking with me then returned and roused me as one awakened out of sleep. 2 He asked me, ‘What do you see? ’
I replied, ‘I see a solid gold lampstand with a bowl at the top. The lampstand also has seven lamps at the top with seven spouts for each of[a] the lamps. 3 There are also two olive trees beside it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left.’
4 Then I asked the angel who was speaking with me, ‘What are these, my lord? ’
5 ‘Don’t you know what they are? ’ replied the angel who was speaking with me.
I said, ‘No, my lord.’
6 So he answered me, ‘This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: “Not by strength or by might, but by my Spirit,”(A) says the Lord of Armies. 7 “What are you, great mountain?(B) Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain.(C) And he will bring out the capstone accompanied by shouts of: Grace, grace to it! ” ’
8 Then the word of the Lord came to me:(D) 9 ‘Zerubbabel’s hands have laid the foundation of this house,(E) and his hands will complete it. Then you will know that the Lord of Armies has sent me to you. 10 For who despises the day of small things?(F) These seven eyes of the Lord, which scan throughout the whole earth, will rejoice when they see the ceremonial stone[b] in Zerubbabel’s hand.’(G)
11 I asked him, ‘What are the two olive trees on the right and left of the lampstand? ’ 12 And I questioned him further, ‘What are the two streams[c] of the olive trees, from which the golden oil is pouring through the two golden conduits? ’
13 Then he enquired of me, ‘Don’t you know what these are? ’
‘No, my lord,’ I replied.
14 ‘These are the two anointed ones,’[d](H) he said, ‘who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.’(I)

Visión del candelabro y los olivos
4 Entonces el ángel que hablaba conmigo(A) volvió, y me despertó como a un hombre que es despertado de su sueño(B). 2 Y me preguntó: «¿Qué ves?». Y respondí: «Veo(C) un candelabro todo de oro con su depósito en la parte superior, y sus siete lámparas(D) encima de él con siete tubos para cada una de las lámparas(E) que tiene encima; 3 y junto a él hay dos olivos, uno a la derecha del depósito y el otro a la izquierda(F)».
4 Continué, y dije al ángel que hablaba conmigo: «¿Qué es esto señor mío(G)?». 5 Respondió el ángel que hablaba conmigo, y me dijo: «¿No sabes qué es esto(H)?». «No, señor mío(I)», respondí. 6 Continuó él, y me dijo: «Esta es la palabra del Señor a Zorobabel(J): “No por el poder ni por la fuerza(K), sino por Mi Espíritu(L)”, dice el Señor de los ejércitos. 7 “¿Quién eres tú, oh gran monte? Ante Zorobabel te convertirás en llanura(M); y él sacará la piedra clave entre aclamaciones de ‘¡Gracia, gracia a ella(N)!’”». 8 Y vino a mí la palabra del Señor: 9 «Las manos de Zorobabel han puesto los cimientos de esta casa(O), y sus manos la acabarán. Entonces sabrán que el Señor de los ejércitos me ha enviado a ustedes(P). 10 ¿Pues quién ha despreciado el día de las pequeñeces(Q)? Estos siete(R) se alegrarán cuando vean la plomada(S) en la mano de Zorobabel; estos son los ojos del Señor(T) que recorren toda la tierra(U)».
11 Entonces le pregunté: «¿Qué son estos dos olivos a la derecha y a la izquierda del candelabro(V)?». 12 Hablé por segunda vez, y le pregunté: «¿Qué son las dos ramas de olivo que están junto a los dos tubos de oro, que vierten de sí el aceite dorado?». 13 Y me respondió: «¿No sabes qué son estos?». Y yo le contesté: «No, señor mío(W)». 14 Entonces él dijo: «Estos son los dos ungidos(X) que están de pie junto al Señor(Y) de toda la tierra(Z)».

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.”
