Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1The angel who talked with me came again and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep.
1Et reversus est angelus qui loquebatur in me, et suscitavit me quasi virum qui suscitatur de somno suo.
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;
2Et 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 by it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on the left side of it.”
3Et duæ olivæ super illud: una a dextris lampadis, et una a sinistris ejus.
4I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?”
4Et respondi, et aio ad angelum qui loquebatur in me, dicens: Quid sunt hæc, domine mi?
5Then the angel who talked with me answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?” I said, “No, my lord.”
5Et respondit angelus qui loquebatur in me, et dixit ad me: Numquid nescis quid sunt hæc? Et dixi: Non, domine mi.
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.
6Et 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 are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you are a plain; and he will bring out the capstone with shouts of ‘Grace, grace, to it!’”
7Quis tu, mons magne, coram Zorobabel? In planum: et educet lapidem primarium, et exæquabit gratiam gratiæ ejus.
8Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
8Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
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.
9Manus Zorobabel fundaverunt domum istam, et manus ejus perficient eam: et scietis quia Dominus exercituum misit me ad vos.
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.”
10Quis enim despexit dies parvos? Et lætabuntur, et videbunt lapidem stanneum in manu Zorobabel. Septem isti oculi sunt Domini, qui discurrunt in universam terram.
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?”
11Et respondi, et dixi ad eum: Quid sunt duæ olivæ istæ, ad dexteram candelabri, et ad sinistram ejus?
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?”
12Et respondi secundo, et dixi ad eum: Quid sunt duæ spicæ olivarum quæ sunt juxta duo rostra aurea in quibus sunt suffusoria ex auro?
13He answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?” I said, “No, my lord.”
13Et ait ad me, dicens: Numquid nescis quid sunt hæc? Et dixi: Non, domine mi.
14Then he said, “These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.”
14Et dixit: Isti sunt duo filii olei, qui assistunt Dominatori universæ terræ.
