Zaharija 4

1 Anđeo koji je govorio sa mnom vrati se tad i probudi me kao čovjeka koji se oda sna budi.

Then the angel who was speaking with me returned and woke me, as a man is awakened from his sleep.

2 “Što vidiš?” - upita. Ja odgovorih: “Vidim, evo, svijećnjak, sav od zlata, s posudom za ulje vrh njega; i sedam je žižaka na svijećnjaku, sa sedam lijevaka za sedam žižaka što su na njemu.

“What do you see?” he asked. “I see a solid gold lampstand,” I replied, “with a bowl at the top and seven lamps on it, with seven spouts to the lamps.

3 Dvije su masline kraj njega, jedna njemu zdesna, druga slijeva.”

There are also two olive trees beside it, one on the right side of the bowl and the other on its left.”

4 Obratih se anđelu koji je govorio sa mnom i upitah ga: “Što je to, gospodaru?”

“What are these, my lord?” I asked the angel who was speaking with me.

5 Anđeo koji je govorio sa mnom odgovori mi: “Zar ne znaš što je to?” Ja rekoh: “Ne, gospodaru.”

“Do you not know what they are?” replied the angel. “No, my lord,” I answered.

6 [6a] On mi tad odgovori ovako: [6b]Evo riječi Jahvine Zerubabelu: “Ne silom niti snagom, već duhom mojim!” - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama.

So he said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the LORD of Hosts.

7 Što si ti, goro velika? Pred Zreubabelom postaješ ravnica! On će izvući krunišni kamen uz poklike: “Hvala! Hvala za njega!”

What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain. Then he will bring forth the capstone accompanied by shouts of ‘Grace, grace to it!’”

8 Dođe mi potom riječ Jahvina:

Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

9 Zerubabelove su ruke ovaj Dom utemeljile, njegove će ga ruke završiti. I vi ćete znati da me k vama poslao Jahve nad Vojskama.

“The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands will complete it. Then you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent me to you.

10 [10a] Jer, tko je prezreo dan skromnih početaka? Radovat će se kad vide olovni visak u ruci Zerubabelovoj. [10b] “Ovih sedam oči su Jahvine što strijeljaju po svoj zemlji.”

For who has despised the day of small things? But these seven eyes of the LORD, which scan the whole earth, will rejoice when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel.”

11 Tad progovorih i zapitah ga: “Što su one dvije masline desno i lijevo od svijećnjaka?”

Then I asked the angel, “What are the two olive trees on the right and left of the lampstand?”

12 Progovorih opet i upitah ga: “Što su one dvije maslinove grančice koje kroz dvije zlatne cijevi dolijevaju ulje?”

And I questioned him further, “What are the two olive branches beside the two gold pipes from which the golden oil pours?”

13 On mi odgovori: “Zar ne znaš što je to?” Odvratih: “Ne, gospodaru!”

“Do you not know what these are?” he inquired. “No, my lord,” I replied.

14 On reče: “To su dva Pomazanika koji stoje pred Gospodarem sve zemlje.”

So he said, “These are the two anointed ones who are standing beside the Lord of all the earth.”
