4 — Zacharias

1And the angel that spoke in me came again: and he waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.E tornò l'Angelo, che parlava in me, e mi svegliò come un uomo, che è svegliato dal sonno,AND the Angel returned that spake in me: and he raysed me vp, as a man that is raysed out of his sleepe.Et reversus est angelus qui loquebatur in me, et suscitavit me quasi virum qui suscitatur de somno suo. 2And he said to me: What seest thou? And I said: I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, and its lamp upon the top of it: and the seven lights thereof upon it: and seven funnels for the lights that were upon the top thereof.E dissentii: Che è quel, che tu vedi? Ed io dissi: Io veggo apparirmi un candelabro tutto d'oro, che ha una lampana in cima, e ha sopra di se sette lucerne, e sette canaletti per le lucerne, che erano sul candeliere.And he sayd to me: What seest thou? And I sayd: I saw, and loe a candlesticke al of gold, and the lampe therof vpon the head of it: and the seuen lights therof vpon it: and seuen funnels for the lights, that were vpon the head therof.Et dixit ad me: Quid tu vides ? Et dixi: Vidi, et ecce candelabrum aureum totum, et lampas ejus super caput ipsius, et septem lucernæ ejus super illud, et septem infusoria lucernis quæ erant super caput ejus. 3And two olive trees over it: one upon the right side of the lamp, and the other upon the left side thereof.E sopra di esso due ulivi, uno a destra, l'altro a sinistra della lampana.And tow oliue trees vpon it: one on the right hand of the lampe, and one on the left hand therof.Et duæ olivæ super illud: una a dextris lampadis, et una a sinistris ejus. 4And I answered, and said to the angel that spoke in me, saying: What are these things, my lord?E dissi all'Angelo, che parlava in me: Signor mio, che è questo?And I answered, and I sayd to the Angel that spake in me, saying: What are these thinges, my Lord?Et respondi, et aio ad angelum qui loquebatur in me, dicens: Quid sunt hæc, domine mi ? 5And the angel that spoke in me answered, and said to me: Knowest thou not what these things are? And I said: No, my lord.E l'Angelo, che parlava in me, rispose, e dissemi: Non sai tu quel, che siano queste cose? Ed io dissi: Signor mio, no.And the Angel that spake in me answered, and sayd to me: Why, knowest thou not what these thinges are? And I sayd: No, my Lord.Et respondit angelus qui loquebatur in me, et dixit ad me: Numquid nescis quid sunt hæc ? Et dixi: Non, domine mi.

6And he answered, and spoke to me, saying: This is the word of the Lord to Zorobabel, saying: Not with an army, nor by might, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.Ed egli rispose, e disse a me: Questa è la parola del Signore, che dice a Zorobabel: Non per mezzo di un esercito, né colla forza, ma per virtù del mio spirito, dice il Signore degli eserciti.And he answered, and sayd to me, saying: This is the word of our Lord to Zorobabel, saying: Not in an host, nor in strength: but in my spirit, sayth the Lord of hosts.Et respondit, et ait ad me, dicens: Hoc est verbum Domini ad Zorobabel, dicens: Non in exercitu, nec in robore, sed in spiritu meo, dicit Dominus exercituum. 7Who art thou, O great mountain, before Zorobabel? thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring out the chief stone, and shall give equal grace to the grace thereof.Che se' tu, o gran monte, dinanzi a Zorobabel l'una pianura: egli imporrà la pietra primaria, e agguaglierà questa a quella grazia.Who art thou ô great mountayne before Zorobabel? into a plaine: and he wil bring forth the principal stone, and wil make grace equal to the grace therof.Quis tu, mons magne, coram Zorobabel ? In planum: et educet lapidem primarium, et exæquabit gratiam gratiæ ejus. 8And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:E il Signore parlò a me, e disse:And the word of our Lord was made to me, saying:Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens: 9The hands of Zorobabel have laid the foundations of this house, and his hands shall finish it: and you shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me to you.Le mani di Zorobabel han gettati i fondamenti di questa casa, e le mani di lui la ridurranno a perfezione; e voi conoscerete, che il Signore degli eserciti mi ha mandato a voi;The handes of Zorobabel haue founded this house, and his handes shal perfite it: and you shal know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me to you.Manus Zorobabel fundaverunt domum istam, et manus ejus perficient eam: et scietis quia Dominus exercituum misit me ad vos. 10For who hath despised little days? and they shall rejoice, and shall see the tin plummet in the hand of Zorobabel. These are the seven eyes of the Lord, that run to and fro through the whole earth.Imperocché chi è quegli, che disprezzò i piccoli giorni? Ei si rallegreranno, e vedranno la pietra di piombo in mano di Zorobabel. Questi sono i sette occhi del Signore, che scorrono tutta quanta la terra.For who hath despised litle dayes? and they shal reioyce, and shal see the stone of tinne in the hand of Zorobabel. These are the seuen eyes of our Lord, that runne through out the whole earth.Quis enim despexit dies parvos ? Et lætabuntur, et videbunt lapidem stantem in manu Zorobabel. Septem isti oculi sunt Domini, qui discurrunt in universam terram.

11And I answered, and said to him: What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick, and upon the left side thereof?Ed io soggiunsi, e dissi a lui: Che son eglino questi due ulivi a destra, e a sinistra del candeliere?And I answered, and sayd to him: What are these two oliuetrees on the right hand of the candlestike, and on the left hand therof?Et respondi, et dixi ad eum: Quid sunt duæ olivæ istæ, ad dexteram candelabri, et ad sinistram ejus ? 12And I answered again, and said to him: What are the two olive branches, that are by the two golden beaks, in which are the funnels of gold?E replicai ancora in secondo luogo, e gli dissi: Che son eglino que' due rami degli ulivi, che sono presso ai due beccucci di oro, dove sono i canaletti di oro?And I answered the second time, and sayd to him: What are the two branches of oliuetrees, that are beside the two beaks of gold, in which are the funnels of gold?Et respondi secundo, et dixi ad eum: Quid sunt duæ spicæ olivarum quæ sunt juxta duo rostra aurea in quibus sunt suffusoria ex auro ? 13And he spoke to me, saying: Knowest thou not what these are? And I said: No, my lord.Ed egli disse a me: Non sai tu quel, che siano queste cose? Ed io dissi: Signor mio, no.And he sayd to me, saying: Why, knowest thou not what these are? And I sayd: No, my Lord.Et ait ad me, dicens: Numquid nescis quid sunt hæc ? Et dixi: Non, domine mi. 14And he said: These are two sons of oil who stand before the Lord of the whole earth.Ed egli disse: Questi sono i due unti, i quali stan dinanzi al Dominatore di tutta la terra.And he sayd: These are two sonnes of oyle which assist the dominatour of the whole earth.Et dixit: Isti sunt duo filii olei, qui assistunt Dominatori universæ terræ.
