Zechariah 4 (WEBP)

[1] The angel who talked with me came again and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep.
[2] He 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;
[3] and two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on the left side of it.”
[4] 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 me, “Don’t you know what these are?” I said, “No, my lord.”
[6] Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, “This is Yahweh’s word to Zerubbabel, saying, ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says Yahweh of Armies.
[7] Who are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you are a plain; and he will bring out the capstone with shouts of ‘Grace, grace, to it!’ ”
[8] Moreover Yahweh’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 Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you.
[10] Indeed, 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 Yahweh’s eyes, which run back and forth through the whole earth.”
[11] Then I asked him, “What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lamp stand and on the left side of it?”
[12] I 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?”
[13] He answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?” I said, “No, my lord.”
[14] Then he said, “These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.”

Zechariah 4:14 The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.”

Zechariah 4 (BYZ)

[1] και επεστρεψεν ο αγγελος ο λαλων εν εμοι και εξηγειρεν με ον τροπον οταν εξεγερθη ανθρωπος εξ υπνου αυτου
[2] και ειπεν προς με τι συ βλεπεις και ειπα εωρακα και ιδου λυχνια χρυση ολη και το λαμπαδιον επανω αυτης και επτα λυχνοι επανω αυτης και επτα επαρυστριδες τοις λυχνοις τοις επανω αυτης
[3] και δυο ελαιαι επανω αυτης μια εκ δεξιων του λαμπαδιου και μια εξ ευωνυμων
[4] και επηρωτησα και ειπον προς τον αγγελον τον λαλουντα εν εμοι λεγων τι εστιν ταυτα κυριε
[5] και απεκριθη ο αγγελος ο λαλων εν εμοι και ειπεν προς με ου γινωσκεις τι εστιν ταυτα και ειπα ουχι κυριε
[6] και απεκριθη και ειπεν προς με λεγων ουτος ο λογος κυριου προς ζοροβαβελ λεγων ουκ εν δυναμει μεγαλη ουδε εν ισχυι αλλ η εν πνευματι μου λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ
[7] τις ει συ το ορος το μεγα προ προσωπου ζοροβαβελ του κατορθωσαι και εξοισω τον λιθον της κληρονομιας ισοτητα χαριτος χαριτα αυτης
[8] και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων
[9] αι χειρες ζοροβαβελ εθεμελιωσαν τον οικον τουτον και αι χειρες αυτου επιτελεσουσιν αυτον και επιγνωση διοτι κυριος παντοκρατωρ εξαπεσταλκεν με προς σε
[10] διοτι τις εξουδενωσεν εις ημερας μικρας και χαρουνται και οψονται τον λιθον τον κασσιτερινον εν χειρι ζοροβαβελ επτα ουτοι οφθαλμοι κυριου εισιν οι επιβλεποντες επι πασαν την γην
[11] και απεκριθην και ειπα προς αυτον τι αι δυο ελαιαι αυται αι εκ δεξιων της λυχνιας και εξ ευωνυμων
[12] και επηρωτησα εκ δευτερου και ειπα προς αυτον τι οι δυο κλαδοι των ελαιων οι εν ταις χερσιν των δυο μυξωτηρων των χρυσων των επιχεοντων και επαναγοντων τας επαρυστριδας τας χρυσας
[13] και ειπεν προς με ουκ οιδας τι εστιν ταυτα και ειπα ουχι κυριε
[14] και ειπεν ουτοι οι δυο υιοι της πιοτητος παρεστηκασιν τω κυριω πασης της γης
