41 And the messenger who is speaking with me doth turn back, and stir me up as one who is stirred up out of his sleep, 2 and he saith unto me, 'What art thou seeing?' And I say, 'I have looked, and lo, a candlestick of gold—all of it, and its bowl 'is' on its top, and its seven lamps 'are' upon it, and twice seven pipes 'are' to the lights that 'are' on its top, 3 and two olive-trees 'are' by it, one on the right of the bowl, and one on its left.' 4 And I answer and speak unto the messenger who is speaking with me, saying, 'What 'are' these, my lord?' 5 And the messenger who is speaking with me answereth and saith unto me, 'Hast thou not known what these 'are'?' And I say, 'No, my lord.' 6 And he answereth and speaketh unto me, saying: 'This 'is' a word of Jehovah unto Zerubbabel, saying: Not by a force, nor by power, But—by My Spirit, said Jehovah of Hosts. 7 Who 'art' thou, O great mountain Before Zerubbabel—for a plain! And he hath brought forth the top-stone, Cries of Grace, grace—'are' to it.' 8 And there is a word of Jehovah to me, saying, 9 Hands of Zerubbabel did found this house, And his hands do finish it, And thou hast known that Jehovah of Hosts Hath sent me unto you. 10 For who trampled on the day of small things, They have rejoiced, And seen the tin weight in the hand of Zerubbabel, These seven 'are' the eyes of Jehovah, They are going to and fro in all the land.'
11 And I answer and say unto him, 'What 'are' these two olive-trees, on the right of the candlestick, and on its left?' 12 And I answer a second time, and say unto him, 'What 'are' the two branches of the olive trees that, by means of the two golden pipes, are emptying out of themselves the oil?' 13 And he speaketh unto me, saying, 'Hast thou not known what these 'are'?' And I say, 'No, my lord.' 14 And he saith, 'These 'are' the two sons of the oil, who are standing by the Lord of the whole earth.'
31 And he sheweth me Joshua the high priest standing before the messenger of Jehovah, and the Adversary standing at his right hand, to be an adversary to him. 2 And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary: 'Jehovah doth push against thee, O Adversary, Yea, push against thee doth Jehovah, Who is fixing on Jerusalem, Is not this a brand delivered from fire?' 3 And Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and is standing before the messenger. 4 And he answereth and speaketh unto those standing before him, saying: 'Turn aside the filthy garments from off him.' And he saith unto him, 'See, I have caused thine iniquity to pass away from off thee, so as to clothe thee with costly apparel.' 5 He also said, 'Let them set a pure diadem on his head. And they set the pure diadem on his head, and clothe him with garments. And the messenger of Jehovah is standing, 6 and the messenger of Jehovah doth protest to Joshua, saying: 7 'Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: If in My ways thou dost walk, And if My charge thou dost keep, Then also thou dost judge My house, And also thou dost keep My courts, And I have given to thee conductors among these standing by.
8 Hear, I pray thee, Joshua, the high priest, Thou and thy companions sitting before thee, (For men of type 'are' they,) For lo, I am bringing in My servant—a Shoot. 9 For lo, the stone that I put before Joshua, On one stone 'are' seven eyes, Lo, I am graving its graving, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, And I have removed the iniquity of that land in one day. 10 In that day—an affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, Ye do call, each unto his neighbour, Unto the place of the vine, And unto the place of the fig-tree!'
