1και επεϲτρεψεν ο αγγελοϲ ο λαλων εν εμοι · και εξηγειρεν με · ον τροπο οταν εξεγερθη ανοϲ εξ ϋπνου αυτου · 2πειϲ · και ειπα ˙ εωρακα ˙ και ϊδου λυχνια χρυϲη ολη ˙ και το λαμπαδιο επανω αυτηϲ · κ(αι) επτα λυχνι επανω αυτηϲ · και επτα παρυϲτιδεϲ τοιϲ λυχνοιϲ τοιϲ επανω αυτηϲ · 3κ(αι) δυο ελεαι επανω αυτηϲ . μια εκ δεξιων του λαμπαδιου αυτηϲ · και μια εξ ευωνυμω · 4και επηρωτηϲα και ειπον προϲ τον αγγελον το λαλουντα εν εμοι λεγων · τι εϲτιν ταυτα κε : 5και απεκριθη ο αγγελοϲ ο λαλων εν εμοι · και ειπε προϲ με λεγων ·
1And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep, 2And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof: 3And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof. 4So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord? 5Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
6ουτοϲ ο λογοϲ κυ προϲ ζοβαβελ λεγων · ουκ εν δυναμι μεγαλη · ουδε εν ϊϲχυει · αλλ η εν πνευματι μ(ου) λεγει κϲ παντοκρατωρʼ · 7τιϲ ι ϲυ το οροϲ το μεγα το προ προϲωπου ζοροβαβελʼ · του κατορθωϲαι ˙ και εξοιϲω το λιθον τηϲ κληρονομιαϲ · ϊϲοτητα χαριτοϲ χαριτα αυτηϲ · 8και εγενετο λογοϲ κυ προϲ με λεγω ᧠9αι χιρεϲ ζοροβαβελʼ · εθεμελιωϲαν τον οικον τουτο · και ε χιρεϲ αυτου επιτελεϲουϲιν αυτον · και επιγνωϲη · διοτι κϲ παντοκρατωρ εξαπεϲταλκεν με προϲ ϲε · 10διοτι τιϲ εξουδενωϲεν ειϲ ημεραϲ μικραϲ ˙ και χαρουτε και οψοντε το λιθον τον καϲϲιδεριον εν χιρι ζοροβαβελ ˙ · ζ · ουτοι οφθαλμοι κυ ειϲιν οι . επιβλεποτεϲ επι παϲαν τη γην ·
6Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. 7Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it. 8Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 9The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. 10For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
11και απεκριθην κ(αι) ειπον προϲ αυτο · τι ε δυο ελεαι αυτε αι εκ δεξιων ϋμων · 12και επηρωτηϲα εκ δευτερου και ειπα προϲ αυτον · τι οι δυο κλαδοι των αιλαιω · οι εν τεϲ χερϲιν των δυο μυξωτηρων των χρυϲων · των επιχεοντων και επαναγοντων ταϲ επαρυϲτιδαϲ ταϲ χρυϲαϲ · 13και ειπεν προϲ με ουχ οιδαϲ τι εϲτιν ταυτα ˙ κ(αι) ειπα ουχι κε · 14κ(αι) ειπεν ˙ ουτοι . οι δυοι ϋϊοι τηϲ πιοτητοϲ · παρεϲτηκαϲι κω παϲηϲ τηϲ γηϲ ·
11Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof? 12And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves? 13And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. 14Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the LORD of the whole earth.
