Zechariah 4 — English–Hebrew Parallel

1 And shawab (returned) the malaak (angel) with the dabar (word) in which he roused me, as an ayash (man) ashar (who) is iwar (wakened) from his shanah (sleep).

2 And he amar (said), "What's that athah (you) raah (see)?" and I amar (said), "I raah (saw), and, hanah (behold), an all zahab (gold) lampstand and a galah (bowl) on its raash (head). Its shabai (seven) nayar (lamps) went up, and shabai (seven) mawatzaqah (spouts) for each of the nayar (lamps) that are on the raash (top) of it;

3 and shanayam (two) zayath (olive)-ayalan (trees), achad (one) went up from the yamayan (right)-shamaawal (hand) tzad (side) of the bow , and achad (one) went il (over) on his shamaawalay (left)-yad (hand) tzad (side)."

4 I inah (answered) and amar (spoke) to the malaak (angel) who dabar (talked) with me, amar (saying), "What are these, adanay (lord)?"

5 And inah (answered) the malaak (angel/messenger of Yah) with these dabar (words) in which he amar (spoke), "Don't you yadai (know) what these are?", and I amar (said), "No, my adawanay (lord)."

6 Then he amar (answered) and amar (spoke) to me, dabar (saying), "This is the amar (word) of Yahawah () to Zarababal (), amar (saying), 'Laa (Not) by might, nor by kach (power), surely only in My Rawach (Spirit / Wind)', inah (says) Yahawah () Tzabaawath ()."

7 Who are you, gadawal (very great/important/mighty) har (mountain)? Panayam (face) Zarababal (Zerubbabel) you are a mayashawar (plain); and he will yatzaa (go out / come out) out the capstone with shouts of ‘chan (favor), chan (favor), to it!’”

8 Moreover the dabar (word / matter) of Yahawah () came to me, amar (spoke),

9 “The yaday (hands) of Zarababal (Zerubbabel) have yasad (laid) the foundation of this bayath (house). His yaday (hands) shall also batzai (finish) it; and you yadai (will) know that Yahawah () of tzabaawath (armies) has shalach (send) me to you.

10 Indeed, who bawaz (despises) the yawam (day) of qatan (small / young / least) things? For these seven shall shamach (rejoice), and shall raah (see) the plumb line in the yad (hand) of Zarababal (Zerubbabel). These are the iyanay (eyes) of Yahawah (), which shawat (run) back and forth through the whole aratz (Earth/land).”

11 Then I asked him, “What are these shanayam (two) zayath (olive) trees on the yamayan (right hand) side of the lampstand and on the shamaawal (left hand) side of it?”

12 I asked him the shanay (second) time, “What are these shanayam (two) zayath (olive) branches, which are yad (hand) the shanayam (two) zahab (gold) spouts, that rawaq (pour) the zahab (gold) oil out of themselves?”

13 He amar (spoke) me, “Don't you yadai (know) what these are?” I amar (spoke), “No, my Adawan ().”

14 And he amar (said), “These are the shanayam (two) ban (sons) of yatzahar (fresh) shaman (oil) who imad (stand) by the Adawan (Master) of the kal (whole) Aratz (earth).”
