¹两棵橄榄树

¹And 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他对我说：“你看见了什么？”我回答：“我看见一个金灯台，整个是金的，顶上有一个盆子，并有七盏灯；顶上的灯有七个灯嘴。

²and 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盆子旁边有两棵橄榄树，一棵在右边，一棵在左边。”

³and two olive-trees [are] by it, one on the right of the bowl, and one on its left.`

⁴我问那与我说话的天使，说：“我主啊，这些是什么？”

⁴And I answer and speak unto the messenger who is speaking with me, saying, `What [are] these, my lord?`

⁵那与我说话的天使回答我说：“你不知道这些是什么意思吗？”我说：“我主啊，我不知道。”

⁵And 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他对我说：“这是耶和华对所罗巴伯所说的话：‘不是倚靠权势，不是倚靠能力，而是倚靠我的灵。’这是万军之耶和华说的。

⁶And 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大山啊！你算得什么？你在所罗巴伯面前必夷为平地！他必安放那块平顶的石头，必有欢呼的声音说：‘愿恩惠、恩惠归与这殿（“这殿”原文作“她”）。’”

⁷Who [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耶和华的话又临到我说：

⁸And there is a word of Jehovah to me, saying,

⁹“所罗巴伯的手奠立了这殿的根基，他的手也必完成这工；这样，你就知道万军之耶和华差遣了我到你们这里来。

⁹Hands 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谁藐视这日子，以为所作的是小事呢？他们看见所罗巴伯手里拿着测锤，就必欢喜。”是耶和华的这七眼，遍察全地。

¹⁰For 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我又再问那天使：“在这灯台左右的两棵橄榄树是什么意思？”

¹¹And I answer and say unto him, `What [are] these two olive-trees, on the right of the candlestick, and on its left?`

¹²我又问他：“在两根流出金色油的金管子旁边的两根橄榄树枝，究竟是什么意思？”

¹²And 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他回答我：“你不知道这些是什么意思吗？”我说：“我主啊，我不知道。”

¹³And he speaketh unto me, saying, `Hast thou not known what these [are]?` And I say, `No, my lord.`

¹⁴他说：“这是两位受膏者（“受膏者”或译：“供应新油的人”），是服事全地之主的。”

¹⁴And he saith, `These [are] the two sons of the oil, who are standing by the Lord of the whole earth.`
