And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.

And he spoke to me, saying: Knowest thou not what these are? And I said: No, my lord.

And he speaketh unto me, saying, 'Hast thou not known what these are?' And I say, 'No, my lord.'

And he said in answer to me, Have you no knowledge what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

Et dixit mihi dicendo, Annon cognoscis quid haec sunt? Et dixi, Non, Domine mi.

And he answered me, and said,.... That is, the angel answered to the prophet's questions:
Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord; See Gill on Zac 4:5.

Knowest thou not--God would awaken His people to zeal in learning His truth.
