Zaharija 4

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

And the angel that spoke in me came again: and he waked me, as a man that is wakened out of 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.

And he said to me: What seest thou? And I said: I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, and its lamp upon the top of it: and the seven lights thereof upon it: and seven funnels for the lights that were upon the top thereof.

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

And two olive trees over it: one upon the right side of the lamp, and the other upon the left side thereof.

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

And I answered, and said to the angel that spoke in me, saying: What are these things, my lord?

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

And the angel that spoke in me answered, and said to me: Knowest thou not what these things are? And I said: No, my lord.

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

And he answered, and spoke to me, saying: This is the word of the Lord to Zorobabel, saying: Not with an army, nor by might, but by my spirit, saith 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!”

Who art thou, O great mountain, before Zorobabel? thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring out the chief stone, and shall give equal grace to the grace thereof.

8 Dođe mi potom riječ Jahvina:

And 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 Zorobabel have laid the foundations of this house, and his hands shall finish it: and you shall know that the Lord of hosts hath 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 hath despised little days? and they shall rejoice, and shall see the tin plummet in the hand of Zorobabel. These are the seven eyes of the Lord, that run to and fro through the whole earth.

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

And I answered, and said to him: What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick, and upon the left side thereof?

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

And I answered again, and said to him: What are the two olive branches, that are by the two golden beaks, in which are the funnels of gold?

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

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

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

And he said: These are two sons of oil who stand before the Lord of the whole earth.
