WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Και επέστρεψεν ο άγγελος ο λαλών μετ' εμού και με εξήγειρεν ως άνθρωπον εξεγειρόμενον από του ύπνου αυτού,
1 Y VOLVIÓ el ángel que hablaba conmigo, y despertóme como un hombre que es despertado de su sueño.
1 The angel who talked with me came again and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep.
2 και είπε προς εμέ, Τι βλέπεις συ; Και είπα, Εθεώρησα και ιδού, λυχνία όλη χρυσή και δοχείον επί της κορυφής αυτής, και οι επτά λύχνοι αυτής επ' αυτής και επτά σωλήνες εις τους λύχνους τους επί της κορυφής αυτής,
2 Y díjome: ¿Qué ves? Y respondí: He mirado, y he aquí un candelero todo de oro, con su vaso sobre su cabeza, y sus siete lámparas encima del candelero; y siete canales para las lámparas que están encima de él;
2 He 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;
3 και δύο ελαίαι επάνωθεν αυτής, μία εκ δεξιών του δοχείου και μία εξ αριστερών αυτής.
3 Y sobre él dos olivas, la una á la derecha del vaso, y la otra á su izquierda.
3 and two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on the left side of it.”
4 Και απεκρίθην και είπα προς τον άγγελον τον λαλούντα μετ' εμού, λέγων, Τι είναι ταύτα, κύριέ μου;
4 Proseguí, y hablé á aquel ángel que hablaba conmigo, diciendo: ¿Qué es esto, señor mío?
4 I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?”
5 Και απεκρίθη ο άγγελος ο λαλών μετ' εμού και είπε προς εμέ, Δεν γνωρίζεις τι είναι ταύτα; Και είπα, Ουχί, κύριέ μου.
5 Y el ángel que hablaba conmigo respondió, y díjome: ¿No sabes qué es esto? Y dije: No, señor mío.
5 Then the angel who talked with me answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?” I said, “No, my lord.”
6 Και απεκρίθη και είπε προς εμέ, λέγων, Ούτος είναι ο λόγος του Κυρίου προς τον Ζοροβάβελ, λέγων, Ουχί διά δυνάμεως ουδέ διά ισχύος αλλά διά του Πνεύματός μου, λέγει ο Κύριος των δυνάμεων.
6 Entonces respondió y hablóme, diciendo: Esta es palabra de Jehová á Zorobabel, en que se dice: No con ejército, ni con fuerza, sino con mi espíritu, ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos.
6 Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, “This is Yahweh’s word to Zerubbabel, saying, ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says Yahweh of Armies.
7 Τις είσαι συ, το όρος το μέγα, έμπροσθεν του Ζοροβάβελ; πεδιάς· και θέλει εκφέρει τον ακρογωνιαίον λίθον εν αλαλαγμώ, Χάρις, χάρις εις αυτόν
7 ¿Quién eres tú, oh gran monte? Delante de Zorobabel [serás reducido] á llanura: él sacará la primera piedra con aclamaciones de Gracia, gracia á ella.
7 Who are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you are a plain; and he will bring out the capstone with shouts of ‘Grace, grace, to it!’”
8 Και έγεινε λόγος Κυρίου προς εμέ, λέγων,
8 Y fué palabra de Jehová á mí, diciendo:
8 Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
9 Αι χείρες του Ζοροβάβελ έθεσαν το θεμέλιον του οίκου τούτου και αι χείρες αυτού θέλουσι τελειώσει αυτόν· και θέλεις γνωρίσει ότι ο Κύριος των δυνάμεων με απέστειλε προς εσάς.
9 Las manos de Zorobabel echarán el fundamento á esta casa, y sus manos la acabarán; y conocerás que Jehová de los ejércitos me envió á vosotros.
9 “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands shall also finish it; and you will know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you.
10 Διότι τις κατεφρόνησε την ημέραν των μικρών πραγμάτων; θέλουσι βεβαίως χαρή και θέλουσιν ιδεί τον κασσιτέρινον λίθον εν τη χειρί του Ζοροβάβελ οι επτά εκείνοι οφθαλμοί του Κυρίου, οι περιτρέχοντες διά πάσης της γης.
10 Porque los que menospreciaron el día de las pequeñeces se alegrarán, y verán la plomada en la mano de Zorobabel. Aquellas siete [son] los ojos de Jehová que recorren por toda la tierra.
10 Indeed, 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 Yahweh’s eyes, which run back and forth through the whole earth.”
11 Τότε απεκρίθην και είπα προς αυτόν, Τι είναι αι δύο αύται ελαίαι επί τα δεξιά της λυχνίας και επί τα αριστερά αυτής;
11 Hablé más, y díjele: ¿Qué [significan] estas dos olivas á la derecha del candelero, y á su izquierda?
11 Then I asked him, “What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lamp stand and on the left side of it?”
12 Και απεκρίθην εκ δευτέρου και είπα προς αυτόν, Τι είναι οι δύο κλάδοι των ελαιών, οίτινες διά των δύο χρυσών σωλήνων εκκενόνουσιν εξ εαυτών το έλαιον εις την χρυσήν λυχνίαν;
12 Hablé aún de nuevo, y díjele: ¿Qué [significan] las dos ramas de olivas que por medio de dos tubos de oro vierten de sí [aceite como] oro?
12 I 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?”
13 Και είπε προς εμέ λέγων, Δεν γνωρίζεις τι είναι ταύτα; Και είπα, Ουχί, κύριέ μου.
13 Y respondióme, diciendo: ¿No sabes qué es esto? Y dije: Señor mío, no.
13 He answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?” I said, “No, my lord.”
14 Τότε είπεν, Ούτοι είναι οι δύο κεχρισμένοι, οι παριστάμενοι πλησίον του Κυρίου πάσης της γης.
14 Y él dijo: Estos dos hijos de aceite son los que están delante del Señor de toda la tierra.
14 Then he said, “These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Some again dared to say that He has seven eyes, because it is written, seven eyes of the Lord looking upon the whole earth.
