ἐπέστρεψεν ὁ ἄγγελος ὁ λαλῶν ἐν ἐμοὶ καὶ ἐξήγειρέν με ὃν τρόπον ὅταν ἐξεγερθῇ ἄνθρωπος ἐξ ὕπνου αὐτοῦ
And the angel who was speaking in me returned and awakened me, in the way that when a man is awakened from his sleep.

εἶπεν πρός με τί σύ 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
And he said to me, What do you see? And I said, I have seen, and behold, a golden lampstand all of it, and its lamp on top of it, and seven lamps on top of it, and seven pourers for the lamps that are on top of it.
and two olive trees above it, one on the right of the lampstand and one on the left
And I asked and said to the angel who was speaking in me, saying, What are these, lord?
ἀπεκρίθη ὁ ἄγγελος ὁ λαλῶν ἐν ἐμοὶ καὶ εἶπεν πρός με οὐ γινώσκεις τί ἐστιν ταῦτα καὶ εἶπα οὐχί κύριε
And the angel who was speaking in me answered and said to me, Do you not know what these things are? And I said, No, lord.
ἀπεκρίθη καὶ εἶπεν πρός με λέγων οὗτος ὁ λόγος κυρίου πρὸς Ζοροβαβελ λέγων οὐκ ἐν δυνάμει μεγάλῃ οὐδὲ ἐν ἰσχύι ἀλλ᾿ ἢ ἐν πνεύματί μου λέγει κύριος παντοκράτωρ
And he answered and said to me, saying, This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying: Not by great power nor by strength, but by my spirit, says the Lord Almighty.
εἶ σύ τὸ ὄρος τὸ μέγα πρὸ προσώπου Ζοροβαβελ τοῦ κατορθῶσαι καὶ ἐξοίσω τὸν λίθον τῆς κληρονομίας ἰσότητα χάριτος χάριτα αὐτῆς
Who are you, O great mountain, before the face of Zerubbabel, to make straight, and I will bring out the stone of the inheritance: equality of grace, grace to it
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying
χεῖρες Ζοροβαβελ ἐθεμελίωσαν τὸν οἶκον τοῦτον καὶ αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ ἐπιτελέσουσιν αὐτόν καὶ ἐπιγνώσῃ διότι κύριος παντοκράτωρ ἐξαπέσταλκέν με πρὸς σέ
The hands of Zerubbabel founded this house, and his hands shall complete it, and you shall know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you
τίς ἐξουδένωσεν εἰς ἡμέρας μικράς καὶ χαροῦνται καὶ ὄψονται τὸν λίθον τὸν κασσιτέρινον ἐν χειρὶ Ζοροβαβελ ἑπτὰ οὗτοι ὀφθαλμοὶ κυρίου εἰσὶν οἱ ἐπιβλέποντες ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν
For who has despised the day of small things? And they will rejoice, and they will see the tin stone in the hand of Zerubbabel. These seven, these are the eyes of the Lord, the ones looking upon all the earth.
And I answered and said to him, What are these two olive trees, these on the right of the lampstand and on the left?
ἐπηρώτησα ἐκ δευτέρου καὶ εἶπα πρὸς αὐτόν τί οἱ δύο κλάδοι τῶν ἐλαιῶν οἱ ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν τῶν δύο μυξωτήρων τῶν χρυσῶν τῶν ἐπιχεόντων καὶ ἐπαναγόντων τὰς ἐπαρυστρίδας τὰς χρυσᾶς
And I asked a second time and said to him, What are the two branches of the olives, the ones in the hands of the two golden spouts, those pouring out and bringing back the golden channels?
And he said to me, Do you not know what these are? And I said, No, lord.
And he said, These are the two sons of oil who stand by the Lord of all the earth.
