Zechariah 4

Commentary from 5 fathers

1

And the angel that talked with me returned, and awakened me, as when a man is awakened out of his sleep.

ΚΑΙ ἐπέστρεψεν ὁ ἄγγελος ὁ λαλῶν ἐν ἐμοὶ καὶ ἐξήγειρέ με ὃν τρόπον ὅταν ἐξεγερθῇ ἄνθρωπος ἐξ ὕπνου αὐτοῦ

И҆ ѡ҆брати́сѧ а҆́гг҃лъ глаго́лѧй во мнѣ̀ и҆ возведе́ мѧ, ꙗ҆́коже є҆гда̀ воста́нетъ человѣ́къ ѿ сна̀ своегѡ̀,

2

And he said to me, What seest thou? And I said, I have seen, and behold a candlestick all of gold, and its bowl upon it, and seven lamps upon it, and seven oil funnels to the lamps upon it:

καὶ εἶπε πρός με· 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·

и҆ речѐ ко мнѣ̀: что̀ ты̀ ви́диши; И҆ рѣ́хъ: ви́дѣхъ, и҆ сѐ, свѣ́щникъ зла́тъ ве́сь, и҆ свѣти́льце верхꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ се́дмь свѣти̑льникъ верхꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ се́дмь ча́шицъ свѣти́льникѡмъ вє́рхнимъ є҆гѡ̀,

3

and two olive-trees above it, one on the right of the bowl, and one on the left.

καὶ δύο ἐλαῖαι ἐπάνω αὐτῆς, μία ἐκ δεξιῶν τοῦ λαμπαδίου αὐτῆς καὶ μία ἐξ εὐωνύμων.

и҆ двѣ̀ ма̑слины верхꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀, є҆ди́на ѡ҆деснꙋ́ю свѣти́льца є҆гѡ̀ и҆ є҆ди́на ѡ҆шꙋ́юю.

4

And I inquired, and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these things, [my] lord?

καὶ ἐπηρώτησα καὶ εἶπα πρὸς τὸν ἄγγελον τὸν λαλοῦντα ἐν ἐμοὶ λέγων· τί ἐστι ταῦτα, κύριε;

И҆ вопроси́хъ и҆ рѣ́хъ ко а҆́гг҃лꙋ глаго́лющемꙋ во мнѣ̀ глаго́лѧ: что̀ сꙋ́ть сїѧ̑, го́споди;

5

And the angel that talked with me answered, and spoke to me, saying, Knowest thou not what these things are? And I said, No, [my] lord.

καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ ἄγγελος ὁ λαλῶν ἐν ἐμοὶ καὶ εἶπε πρός με λέγων· οὐ γινώσκεις τί ἐστι ταῦτα; καὶ εἶπα· οὐχί, κύριε.

И҆ ѿвѣща̀ а҆́гг҃лъ глаго́лѧй во мнѣ̀ и҆ речѐ ко мнѣ̀ глаго́лѧ: не разꙋмѣ́еши ли, что̀ сꙋ́ть сїѧ̑; И҆ рѣ́хъ: нѝ, го́споди.

6

And he answered and spoke to me, saying, This is the word of the Lord to Zorobabel, saying, not by mighty power, nor by strength, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord Almighty.

καὶ ἀπεκρίθη καὶ εἶπε πρός με λέγων· οὗτος ὁ λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς Ζοροβάβελ λέγων· οὐκ ἐν δυνάμει μεγάλῃ οὐδὲ ἐν ἰσχύϊ, ἀλλ᾿ ἢ ἐν πνεύματί μου, λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ.

И҆ ѿвѣща̀ и҆ речѐ ко мнѣ̀ глаго́лѧ: сїѐ сло́во гдⷭ҇не къ зорова́велю гл҃ѧ: не въ си́лѣ вели́цѣй, ни въ крѣ́пости, но въ дс҃ѣ мое́мъ, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь Вседержи́тель.

7

Who art thou, the great mountain before Zorobabel, that thou shouldest prosper? whereas I will bring out the stone of the inheritance, the grace of it the equal of [my] grace.

τίς εἶ σύ, τό ὄρος τὸ μέγα, τὸ πρὸ προσώπου Ζαροβάβελ τοῦ κατορθῶσαι; καὶ ἐξοίσω τὸν λίθον τῆς κληρονομίας ἰσότητα χάριτος χάριτα αὐτῆς.

Что̀ ты̀ є҆сѝ, горо̀ вели́каѧ, пред̾ лице́мъ зорова́велѧ, є҆́же и҆спра́вити; и҆ и҆знесꙋ̀ ка́мень наслѣ́дїѧ, ра́венство благода́ти, благода́ть є҆гѡ̀.

8

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων·

И҆ бы́сть сло́во гдⷭ҇не ко мнѣ̀ гл҃ѧ:

9

The hands of Zorobabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands shall finish it: and thou shalt know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to thee.

αἱ χεῖρες Ζοροβάβελ ἐθεμελίωσαν τὸν οἶκον τοῦτον, καὶ αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ ἐπιτελέσουσιν αὐτόν, καὶ ἐπιγνώσῃ, διότι Κύριος παντοκράτωρ ἐξαπέσταλκέ με πρός σε.

рꙋ́цѣ зорова́велєвы ѡ҆снова́ша хра́мъ се́й и҆ рꙋ́цѣ є҆гѡ̀ соверша́тъ є҆го̀: и҆ ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́еши, ꙗ҆́кѡ гдⷭ҇ь Вседержи́тель посла́ мѧ къ ва́мъ:

10

For who has despised the small days? surely they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet of tin in the hand of Zorobabel: these are the seven eyes that look upon all the earth.

διότι τίς ἐξουδένωσεν εἰς ἡμέρας μικράς; καὶ χαροῦνται καὶ ὄψονται τὸν λίθον τὸν κασσιτέρινον ἐν χειρὶ Ζοροβάβελ. ἑπτὰ οὗτοι ὀφθαλμοὶ Κυρίου εἰσὶν οἱ ἐπιβλέποντες ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν.

занѐ кто̀ ᲂу҆кори́лъ тѧ̀ є҆́сть во дни̑ ма̑лы; и҆ возра́дꙋютсѧ, и҆ ᲂу҆ви́дѧтъ ка́мень, и҆́же ѿ чи́стагѡ ѻ҆́лова, въ рꙋкꙋ̀ зорова́велѧ: се́дмь сїѧ̑ ѻ҆чеса̀ гдⷭ҇нѧ сꙋ́ть, призира̑ющаѧ на всю̀ зе́млю.

11

And I answered, and said to him, What are these two olive-trees, which are on the right and left hand of the candlestick?

καὶ ἀπεκρίθην καὶ εἶπα πρὸς αὐτόν· τί αἱ δύο ἐλαῖαι αὗται, αἱ ἐκ δεξιῶν τῆς λυχνίας καὶ ἐξ εὐωνύμων;

И҆ ѿвѣща́хъ и҆ рѣ́хъ къ немꙋ̀: что̀ сꙋ́ть двѣ̀ ма̑слины сїѧ̑, ꙗ҆̀же ѡ҆деснꙋ́ю свѣ́щника и҆ ѡ҆шꙋ́юю;

12

And I asked the second time, and said to him, What are the two branches of the olive-trees that are by the side of the two golden pipes that pour into and communicate with the golden oil funnels?

καὶ ἐπηρώτησα ἐκ δευτέρου καὶ εἶπα πρὸς αὐτόν· τί οἱ δύο κλάδοι τῶν ἐλαιῶν οἱ ἐν ταῖς χερσὶ τῶν δύο μυξωτήρων τῶν χρυσῶν τῶν ἐπιχεόντων καὶ ἐπαναγόντων τὰς ἐπαρυστρίδας τὰς χρυσᾶς;

И҆ вопроси́хъ втори́цею и҆ рѣ́хъ къ немꙋ̀: что̀ сꙋ́ть двѣ̀ вѣ̑тви ма̑сличны, ꙗ҆̀же въ рꙋкꙋ̀ двꙋ́хъ ᲂу҆сѣка́льницъ {щипцє́въ} златы́хъ возлива́ющихъ и҆ возноша́ющихъ ча̑шицы златы̑ѧ;

13

And he said to me, Knowest thou not what these are? and I said, No, [my] lord.

καὶ εἶπε πρός με· οὐκ οἶδας τί ἐστι ταῦτα; καὶ εἶπα οὐχί, κύριε.

И҆ речѐ ко мнѣ̀ глаго́лѧ: не вѣ́си ли, что̀ сꙋ́ть сїѧ̑; И҆ рѣ́хъ: нѝ, го́споди.

14

And he said, These are the two anointed ones [that] stand by the Lord of the whole earth.

καὶ εἶπεν· οὗτοι οἱ δύο υἱοὶ τῆς πιότητος παρεστήκασι Κυρίῳ πάσης τῆς γῆς.

И҆ речѐ: сі́и два̀ сы́нове тꙋ́чности, ꙗ҆̀же предстоѧ́тъ гдⷭ҇еви всеѧ̀ землѝ.
