Zech.4.1
And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep,
Zech.4.1
The Messenger-Angel again called me to attention. It was like being wakened out of deep sleep.
Zech.4.1
Then the angel who talked with me returned and wakened me, as a man is wakened from his sleep.
Zech.4.1
Now the angel who talked with me came back and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep.
Zech.4.1
Then the angel who had been talking with me returned and woke me, as though I had been asleep.
Zech.4.2
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:
Zech.4.2
He said, "What do you see?" I answered, "I see a lampstand of solid gold with a bowl on top. Seven lamps, each with seven spouts, are set on the bowl.
Zech.4.2
He asked me, "What do you see?" I answered, "I see a solid gold lampstand with a bowl at the top and seven lights on it, with seven channels to the lights.
Zech.4.2
And he said to me, "What do you see?" So I said, "I am looking, and there is a lampstand of solid gold with a bowl on top of it, and on the stand seven lamps with seven pipes to the seven lamps.
Zech.4.2
"What do you see now?" he asked. I answered, "I see a solid gold lampstand with a bowl of oil on top of it. Around the bowl are seven lamps, each one having seven spouts with wicks.
Zech.4.3
And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.
Zech.4.3
And there are two olive trees, one on either side of the bowl."
Zech.4.3
Also there are two olive trees by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left."
Zech.4.3
Two olive trees are by it, one at the right of the bowl and the other at its left."
Zech.4.3
And I see two olive trees, one on each side of the bowl."
Zech.4.4
So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
Zech.4.4
Then I asked the Messenger-Angel, "What does this mean, sir?"
Zech.4.4
I asked the angel who talked with me, "What are these, my lord?"
Zech.4.4
So I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, "What are these, my lord?"
Zech.4.4
Then I asked the angel, "What are these, my lord? What do they mean?"
Zech.4.5
Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
Zech.4.5
The Messenger-Angel said, "Can't you tell?No, sir," I said. Then he said,
Zech.4.5
He answered, "Do you not know what these are?No, my lord," I replied.
Zech.4.5
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."
Zech.4.5
"Don't you know?" the angel asked. "No, my lord," I replied.
Zech.4.6
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.
Zech.4.6
"This is GOD's Message to Zerubbabel: "You can't force these things. They only come about through my Spirit,' says GOD-of-the-Angel-Armies.
Zech.4.6
So he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty.
Zech.4.6
So he answered and said to me: "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: "Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' Says the LORD of hosts.
Zech.4.6
Then he said to me, "This is what the LORD says to Zerubbabel: It is not by force nor by strength, but by my Spirit, says the LORD Almighty.
Zech.4.7
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.
Zech.4.7
"So, big mountain, who do you think you are? Next to Zerubbabel you're nothing but a molehill. He'll proceed to set the Cornerstone in place, accompanied by cheers: Yes! Yes! Do it!'"
Zech.4.7
"What are you, O mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of 'God bless it! God bless it!'"
Zech.4.7
"Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And he shall bring forth the capstone With shouts of "Grace, grace to it!""'
Zech.4.7
Nothing, not even a mighty mountain, will stand in Zerubbabel's way; it will flatten out before him! Then Zerubbabel will set the final stone of the Temple in place, and the people will shout: `May God bless it! May God bless it!'"
Zech.4.8
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Zech.4.8
After that, the Word of GOD came to me:
Zech.4.8
Then the word of the LORD came to me:
Zech.4.8
Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying:
Zech.4.8
Then another message came to me from the LORD:
Zech.4.9
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.
Zech.4.9
"Zerubbabel started rebuilding this Temple and he will complete it. That will be your confirmation that GOD-of-the-Angel-Armies sent me to you.
Zech.4.9
"The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; his hands will also complete it. Then you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me to you.
Zech.4.9
"The hands of Zerubbabel Have laid the foundation of this temple; His hands shall also finish it. Then you will know That the LORD of hosts has sent Me to you.
Zech.4.9
"Zerubbabel is the one who laid the foundation of this Temple, and he will complete it. Then you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me.
Zech.4.10
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.
Zech.4.10
Does anyone dare despise this day of small beginnings? They'll change their tune when they see Zerubbabel setting the last stone in place!" Going back to the vision, the Messenger-Angel said, "The seven lamps are the eyes of GOD probing the dark corners of the world like searchlights."
Zech.4.10
"Who despises the day of small things? Men will rejoice when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. "(These seven are the eyes of the LORD, which range throughout the earth.)"
Zech.4.10
For who has despised the day of small things? For these seven rejoice to see The plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. They are the eyes of the LORD, Which scan to and fro throughout the whole earth."
Zech.4.10
Do not despise these small beginnings, for the LORD rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel's hand. For these seven lamps represent the eyes of the LORD that search all around the world."
Zech.4.11
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?
Zech.4.11
"And the two olive trees on either side of the lampstand?" I asked. "What's the meaning of them?
Zech.4.11
Then I asked the angel, "What are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the lampstand?"
Zech.4.11
Then I answered and said to him, "What are these two olive trees--at the right of the lampstand and at its left?"
Zech.4.11
Then I asked the angel, "What are these two olive trees on each side of the lampstand,
Zech.4.12
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?
Zech.4.12
And while you're at it, the two branches of the olive trees that feed oil to the lamps--what do they mean?"
Zech.4.12
Again I asked him, "What are these two olive branches beside the two gold pipes that pour out golden oil?"
Zech.4.12
And I further answered and said to him, "What are these two olive branches that drip into the receptacles of the two gold pipes from which the golden oil drains?"
Zech.4.12
and what are the two olive branches that pour out golden oil through two gold tubes?"
Zech.4.13
And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
Zech.4.13
He said, "You haven't figured that out?" I said, "No, sir."
Zech.4.13
He replied, "Do you not know what these are?No, my lord," I said.
Zech.4.13
Then he answered me and said, "Do you not know what these are?" And I said, "No, my lord."
Zech.4.13
"Don't you know?" he asked. "No, my lord," I replied.
Zech.4.14
Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
Zech.4.14
He said, "These are the two who stand beside the Master of the whole earth and supply golden lamp oil worldwide."
Zech.4.14
So he said, "These are the two who are anointed to serve the Lord of all the earth."
Zech.4.14
So he said, "These are the two anointed ones, who stand beside the Lord of the whole earth."
Zech.4.14
Then he said to me, "They represent the two anointed ones who assist the Lord of all the earth."
