Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1The angel who talked with me came again and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep.
1Καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν ὁ ἄγγελος ὁ λαλῶν ἐν ἐμοὶ, καὶ ἐξήγειρέ με ὃν τρόπον ὅταν ἐξεγερθῇ ἄνθρωπος ἐξ ὕπνου αὐτοῦ.
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;
2Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ, τί σὺ βλέπεις; καὶ εἶπα, ἑώρακα, καὶ ἰδοὺ λυχνία χρυσῆ ὅλη, καὶ τὸ λαμπάδιον ἐπάνω αὐτῆς, καὶ ἑπτὰ λύχνοι ἐπάνω αὐτῆς, καὶ ἑπτὰ ἐπαρυστρίδες τοῖς λύχνοις τοῖς ἐπάνω αὐτῆς,
3and two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on the left side of it.”
3καὶ δύο ἐλαῖαι ἐπάνω αὐτῆς, μία ἐκ δεξιῶν τοῦ λαμπαδίου αὐτῆς, καὶ μία ἐξ εὐωνύμων.
4I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?”
4Καὶ ἐπηρώτησα, καὶ εἶπα πρὸς τὸν ἄγγελον τὸν λαλοῦντα ἐν ἐμοὶ, λέγων, τί ἐστι ταῦτα κύριε;
5Then the angel who talked with me answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?” I said, “No, my lord.”
5Καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ ἄγγελος ὁ λαλῶν ἐν ἐμοὶ, καὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ, λέγων, οὐ γινώσκεις τί ἐστι ταῦτα; καὶ εἶπα, οὐχὶ κύριε.
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.
6Καὶ ἀπεκρίθη, καὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ, λέγων, οὗτος ὁ λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς Ζοροβάβελ, λέγων, Οὐκ ἐν δυνάμει μεγάλῃ, οὐδὲ ἐν ἰσχύϊ, ἀλλὰ ἐν πνεύματί μου, λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ.
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!’”
7Τίς εἶ σὺ τὸ ὄρος τὸ μέγα τὸ πρὸ προσώπου Ζοροβάβελ τοῦ κατορθῶσαι; καὶ ἐξοίσω τὸν λίθον τῆς κληρονομίας, ἰσότητα χάριτος χάριτα αὐτῆς.
8Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
8Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,
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.
9αἱ χεῖρες Ζοροβάβελ ἐθεμελίωσαν τὸν οἶκον τοῦτον, καὶ αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ ἐπιτελέσουσιν αὐτόν· καὶ ἐπιγνώσῃ διότι Κύριος παντοκράτωρ ἐξαπέσταλκέ με πρὸς σέ.
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.”
10Διότι τίς ἐξουδένωσεν εἰς ἡμέρας μικράς; καὶ χαροῦνται, καὶ ὄψονται τὸν λίθον τὸν κασσιτέρινον ἐν χειρὶ Ζοροβάβελ· ἑπτὰ οὗτοι ὀφθαλμοί εἰσιν οἱ ἐπιβλέποντες ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν.
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?”
11Καὶ ἀπεκρίθην, καὶ εἶπα πρὸς αὐτὸν, τί αἱ δύο ἐλαῖαι αὗται, αἱ ἐκ δεξιῶν τῆς λυχνίας καὶ ἐξ εὐωνύμων;
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?”
12Καὶ ἐπηρώτησα ἐκ δευτέρου, καὶ εἶπα πρὸς αὐτὸν, τί οἱ δύο κλάδοι τῶν ἐλαιῶν οἱ ἐν ταῖς χερσὶ τῶν δύο μυξωτήρων τῶν χρυσῶν τῶν ἐπιχεόντων, καὶ ἐπαναγόντων τὰς ἐπαρυστρίδας τὰς χρυσᾶς;
13He answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?” I said, “No, my lord.”
13Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ, οὐκ οἶδας τί ἐστι ταῦτα; καὶ εἶπα, οὐχὶ κύριε.
14Then he said, “These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.”
14Καὶ εἶπεν, οὗτοι οἱ δύο υἱοὶ τῆς πιότητος παρεστήκασι Κυρίῳ πάσης τῆς γῆς.
