Zacarías 4
Bible du Rabbinat (Zadoc Kahn)
1L'ange qui conversait avec moi revint; il me réveilla comme un homme qu'on réveillerait de son sommeil.
2Et il me dit: "Que vois-tu?" Je répondis: "Je vois un chandelier tout en or son récipient sur son sommet, ses sept lampes alignéeset sept conduits pour les lampes qui en couronnent le sommet.
3Puis, deux oliviers à ses côtés, l'un à droite du récipient, l'autre à gauche."
4Je repris et je dis à l'ange qui conversait avec moi: "Qu'est-ce que ces choses, Seigneur?"
5L'ange qui conversait avec moi me répondit: "Quoi! Tu ne sais donc pas ce que signifient ces choses?" Je répondis: "Non, Seigneur!"
6Il reprit et me parla en ces termes: "Ceci est la parole de l'Eternel à Zorobabel: Ni par la puissance ni par la force, mais bien par mon esprit! dit l'Eternel-Cebaot.
7Qu'es-tu, grande montagne, devant Zorobabel? une simple plaine. Qu'il amène la pierre du faîte au milieu des acclamations: "Qu'elle est belle! Qu'elle est belle!"
8La parole de l'Eternel me fut adressée en ces termes:
9"Les mains de Zorobabel ont fondé cette maison, et ses mains l'achèveront, afin que tu reconnaisses que c'est l'Eternel-Cebaot qui m'a envoyé vers vous.
10Car qui mépriserait le jour de ces humbles commencements? Plutôt se réjouiront-ils de voir la pierre du niveau dans la main de Zorobabel. Ces sept-là sont les yeux de l'Eternel qui parcourent toute la terre."
11Je pris la parole et lui dis: "Qu'est-ce que ces deux oliviers à droite et à gauche du chandelier?"
12Je repris pour la seconde fois et lui dis: "Qu'est-ce que ces deux branches d'olivier à côté des deux tuyaux d'or qui laissent couler le liquide doré?"
13Il me répondit en ces termes: "Quoi! Tu ne sais pas ce qu'elles signifient? "Non, Seigneur!" répliquai-je.
14Alors, il dit: "Ce sont les deux hommes consacrés par l'huile, qui se tiennent auprès du Maître de toute la terre!"
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y VOLVIÓ el ángel que hablaba conmigo, y despertóme como un hombre que es despertado de su sueño.
2Y díjome: ¿Qué ves? Y respondí: He mirado, y he aquí un candelero todo de oro, con su vaso sobre su cabeza, y sus siete lámparas encima del candelero; y siete canales para las lámparas que están encima de él;
3Y sobre él dos olivas, la una á la derecha del vaso, y la otra á su izquierda.
4Proseguí, y hablé á aquel ángel que hablaba conmigo, diciendo: ¿Qué es esto, señor mío?
5Y el ángel que hablaba conmigo respondió, y díjome: ¿No sabes qué es esto? Y dije: No, señor mío.
6Entonces respondió y hablóme, diciendo: Esta es palabra de Jehová á Zorobabel, en que se dice: No con ejército, ni con fuerza, sino con mi espíritu, ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos.
7¿Quién eres tú, oh gran monte? Delante de Zorobabel serás reducido á llanura: él sacará la primera piedra con aclamaciones de Gracia, gracia á ella.
8Y fué palabra de Jehová á mí, diciendo:
9Las manos de Zorobabel echarán el fundamento á esta casa, y sus manos la acabarán; y conocerás que Jehová de los ejércitos me envió á vosotros.
10Porque los que menospreciaron el día de las pequeñeces se alegrarán, y verán la plomada en la mano de Zorobabel. Aquellas siete son los ojos de Jehová que recorren por toda la tierra.
11Hablé más, y díjele: ¿Qué significan estas dos olivas á la derecha del candelero, y á su izquierda?
12Hablé aún de nuevo, y díjele: ¿Qué significan las dos ramas de olivas que por medio de dos tubos de oro vierten de sí aceite como oro?
13Y respondióme, diciendo: ¿No sabes qué es esto? Y dije: Señor mío, no.
14Y él dijo: Estos dos hijos de aceite son los que están delante del Señor de toda la tierra.
King James Version
1And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep,
2And 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:
3And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.
4So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
5Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
6Then 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.
7Who 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.
8Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
9The 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.
10For 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.
11Then 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?
12And 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?
13And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
14Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.

1The angel who talked with me came again and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep.
2He said to me, “What do you see?” I said, “I have seen, and behold, a lamp stand all of gold, with its bowl on the top of it, and its seven lamps on it; there are seven pipes to each of the lamps which are on the top of it;
3and two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on the left side of it.”
4I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?”
5Then the angel who talked with me answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?” I said, “No, my lord.”
6Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, “This is the LORD’s word to Zerubbabel, saying, ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD of Armies.
7Who are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you are a plain; and he will bring out the capstone with shouts of ‘Grace, grace, to it!’”
8Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
9“The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands shall also finish it; and you will know that the LORD of Armies has sent me to you.
10Indeed, who despises the day of small things? For these seven shall rejoice, and shall see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. These are the LORD’s eyes, which run back and forth through the whole earth.”
11Then I asked him, “What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lamp stand and on the left side of it?”
12I asked him the second time, “What are these two olive branches, which are beside the two golden spouts that pour the golden oil out of themselves?”
13He answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?” I said, “No, my lord.”
14Then he said, “These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.”
