Rotherham - Zechariah - 4

4:1  And once more the messenger who was speaking with me, roused me up, just as a man might be roused up out of his sleep.

4:2  Then said he unto me, What canst thou see? And I said—I have looked, and lo! a Lampstand—all of gold, with the Bowl thereof upon the top thereof, and its Seven Lamps upon it, Seven Pipes each, to the lamps which are upon the top thereof;

4:3  and, Two Olive-trees, by it,—one upon the right hand of the bowl, and one upon the left hand thereof.

4:4  Then responded I, and said unto the messenger who was speaking with me, saying,—What are these, my lord?

4:5  Then answered the messenger who was speaking with me, and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these, are? And I said, No my lord.

4:6  Then responded he, and spake unto me, saying, This, is the word of Yahweh, unto Zerubbabel, saying,—Not by wealth, nor by strength, but by my spirit, saith Yahweh of hosts.

4:7  Who, art, thou, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel, [brought down] to a plain! So shall he bring forth the headstone, with thundering shouts Beautiful! Beautiful! thereunto.

4:8  Then came the word of Yahweh unto me, saying:

4:9  The hands of Zerubbabel, have founded this house, and, his hands, shall finish it,—So shalt thou know that, Yahweh of hosts, hath sent me unto you.

4:10  For who hath despised the day of small things? Yet shall they rejoice, when they see the plummet-stone in the hand of Zerubbabel,—these seven! The eyes of Yahweh, they are—running to and fro throughout all the earth.

4:11  Then responded I, and said unto him,—What are these two olive-trees, upon the right of the lampstand, and upon the left thereof?

4:12  And I responded a second time, and said unto him,—What are the two branches of the olive- trees which join the two golden tubes, which empty out of them the golden oil?

4:13  And he spake unto me, saying, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

4:14  Then said he, These, are the two Anointed Ones,—who stand near the Lord of all the earth.
