Zakarias 4
1 Og Engelen, som talte med mig, kom igen og vakte mig som en Mand, der opvækkes af sin Søvn.
And the angel who had been speaking with me returned, and he awakened me, like a man who is awakened from his sleep.
2 Og han sagde til mig: Hvad ser du? og jeg sagde: Jeg ser, og se, en Lysestage hel af Guld, med dens Oliekar oven paa den, og dens syv Lamper paa den, syv Rør til hver af Lamperne, som ere oven paa den;
And he said to me, “What do you see?” And I said, “I looked, and behold, a candlestick entirely in gold, and its lamp was at its top, and seven oil lamps of it were upon it, and there were seven funnels for the oil lamps that were at its top.
3 og tvende Olietræer ved Siden af den: Eet paa den højre Side af Oliekarret, og eet paa dets venstre Side.
And there were two olive trees upon it: one to the right of the lamp, and one to its left.”
4 Og jeg svarede og sagde til Engelen, som talte med mig, saaledes: Hvad betyde disse Ting, min Herre?
And I answered and spoke to the angel who was speaking with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?”
5 Og Engelen, som talte med mig, svarede og sagde til mig: Ved du ikke, hvad disse Ting betyde? og jeg sagde: Nej, min Herre!
And the angel who was speaking with me answered, and he said to me, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.”
6 Da svarede han og sagde til mig: Dette er Herrens Ord til Serubabel, saa lydende: „Ikke ved Magt og ikke ved Styrke, men ved min Aand‟, siger den Herre Zebaoth.
And he answered and spoke to me, saying: This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying: Not by an army, nor by might, but in my spirit, says the Lord of hosts.
7 Hvo er du, du store Bjerg for Serubabels Ansigt? bliv til Slette! og han skal føre Slutstenen frem under Fryderaabene: Naade, Naade være over den!
What are you, great mountain, in the sight of Zerubbabel? You are among the plains. And he will lead out the primary stone, and he will give equal grace to its grace.
8 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saalunde:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
9 Serubabels Hænder have lagt Grundvolden til dette Hus, og hans Hænder skulle fuldende det, paa det du skal fornemme, at den Herre Zebaoth har sendt mig til eder.
The hand of Zerubbabel has founded this house, and his hands will complete it. And you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you.
10 Thi hvo har foragtet ringe Tings Dag? og paa Blyloddet i Serubabels Haand skue med Glæde hine syv, nemlig Herrens Øjne, de fare om over hele Jorden.
For who has despised the little days? And they will rejoice and will see the silver and lead stone in the hand of Zerubbabel. These are the seven eyes of the Lord, which roam quickly through all the earth.
11 Og jeg svarede og sagde til ham: Hvad betyde disse tvende Olietræer ved Lysestagens højre og ved dens venstre Side?
And I responded and said to him, “What are these two olive trees to the right of the candlestick, and to its left?”
12 Og jeg svarede anden Gang og sagde til ham: Hvad betyde de tvende Oliegrene, som ligge ind i de to gyldne Render, der udgyde Guld af sig?
And I responded a second time and said to him, “What are the two olive branches, which are next to the two golden ridges, in which are the pouring spouts of gold?”
13 Og han sagde til mig: Ved du ikke, hvad disse betyde? og jeg sagde: Nej, min Herre!
And he spoke to me, saying, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.”
14 Da sagde han: Disse ere de to Oliebørn, som staa for al Jordens Herre.
And he said, “These are the two sons of oil, who attend before the Sovereign of all the earth.”
