I spoke to the angel who was talking with me.“ What are these horns?” I asked. He said,“ They are the powerful nations that scattered Judah, Israel and Jerusalem.”

我就问与我说话的天使说：“这是什么意思？”他回答说：“这是打散犹大、以色列，和耶路撒冷的角。”

我问那与我说话的天使：“这是什么意思？”他对我说：“这是击散犹大、以色列和耶路撒冷的角。”

我问那与我说话的天使：“这是什么意思？”他对我说：“这是击散犹大、以色列和耶路撒冷的角。”

于是，我问与我说话的天使：“这是什么？”他回答说：“这些是驱散犹大、以色列和耶路撒冷的角。”

于是我问那与我说话的天使：“这些是什么？”他对我说：“这些就是把犹大、以色列和耶路撒冷赶散的角。”

我就問與我說話的天使說：「這是甚麼意思？」他回答說：「這是打散猶大、以色列，和耶路撒冷的角。」

我問那與我說話的天使：「這是甚麼意思？」他對我說：「這是擊散猶大、以色列和耶路撒冷的角。」

我問那與我說話的天使：「這是甚麼意思？」他對我說：「這是擊散猶大、以色列和耶路撒冷的角。」

於是，我問與我說話的天使：「這是什麼？」他回答說：「這些是驅散猶大、以色列和耶路撒冷的角。」

於是我問那與我說話的天使：“這些是甚麼？”他對我說：“這些就是把猶大、以色列和耶路撒冷趕散的角。”

我就問那跟我說話的天使說：『這些是甚麼？』他回答說：『這些就是那使猶大以色列和耶路撒冷四散的角。』

我就問那與我說話的天使：「這些是什麼呢？」他回答我：「這些是打散猶大、以色列和耶路撒冷的犄角。」

遂謂與我言之使曰、此維何、曰、乃散猶大以色列耶路撒冷之角也、

答曰、此角乃使猶大、以色列、耶路撒冷之民、流離失所者、

我問與我言之天使曰、此何意、對我曰、此角乃散猶大以色列及耶路撒冷民者、

I asked the angel who was speaking to me,“ What are these?” He answered me,“ These are the horns that scattered Judah, Israel and Jerusalem.”

And I said to the angel who talked with me,“ What are these?” And he said to me,“ These are the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”

“ What are these?” I asked the angel who was talking with me. He replied,“ These horns represent the nations that scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”

And I said to the angel who talked with me,“ What are these?” So he answered me,“ These are the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”

I asked the angel who talked with me,“ What are these?” He answered me,“ These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”

I asked,“ What are they coming to do?” He answered,“ The horns are the powerful nations that scattered the people of Judah. That made Judah helpless. But these four skilled workers have come to terrify the horns. The workers will destroy the power of those nations. Those nations had used their power to scatter Judah’s people.”

The people who had returned from Babylon were building a temple to honor the Lord. He is the God of Israel. The enemies of Judah and Benjamin heard about it.

“ Where are you going?” I asked.“ To measure Jerusalem,” he answered.“ I want to find out how wide and how long it is.”

“ Israel is like a scattered flock that lions have chased away. The first lion that ate them up was the king of Assyria. The last one that broke their bones was Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon.”The Lord who rules over all is the God of Israel. He says,“ I punished the king of Assyria. In the same way, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land.

An angel was talking with me. I asked him,“ Sir, what are these?” He answered,“ I will show you what they are.”

Then the nations around Judah tried to make its people lose hope. They wanted to make them afraid to go on building.

The Lord who rules over all says,“ Your people of long ago made me angry. So I decided to bring trouble on them. I did not show them any pity.

Then Artaxerxes became king of Persia. During his rule, Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel and their friends wrote a letter to Artaxerxes. It was written in the Aramaic language. And it used the Aramaic alphabet.

At that time Tattenai was governor of the land west of the Euphrates River. He and Shethar- Bozenai and their friends went to the Jews. They asked them,“ Who authorized you to rebuild this temple? Who told you that you could finish it?”

His soldiers rushed out to scatter us. They were laughing at us. They thought they would easily destroy us. They saw us as weak people who were trying to hide. So you wounded Pharaoh’s head with his own spear.

You are happy because you captured the town of Lo Debar. You say,“ We were strong enough to take Karnaim too.”

Then I said to the angel,“ I see two olive trees. One is on the right side of the lampstand. The other is on the left. What are these trees?”I continued,“ I also see two olive branches. They are next to the two gold pipes that pour out golden olive oil. What are these branches?”He answered,“ Don’t you know what they are?”“ No, sir,” I said.So he told me,“ They are Zerubbabel and Joshua. The Lord of the whole earth has anointed them to serve him.”

The man raised both hands toward heaven. I heard him make a promise in the name of the God who lives forever. He answered me,“ Three and a half years. Then the power of the holy people will finally be broken. And all these things will come true.”

Then one of the elders spoke to me.“ Who are these people dressed in white robes?” he asked.“ Where did they come from?”I answered,“ Sir, you know.” He said,“ They are the ones who have come out of the time of terrible suffering. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
