Zechariah 4
1 And the angel who had been speaking with me returned, and he awakened me, like a man who is awakened from his sleep.
Entonces el ángel con el que yo hablaba volvió y llamó mi atención, como cuando despiertan a alguien de su sueño.
2 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.
“¿Qué ves?” me preguntó. “Veo un candelabro hecho de oro sólido con un tazón que sostiene siete lámparas sobre él, cada una con siete labios.
3 And there were two olive trees upon it: one to the right of the lamp, and one to its left.”
También veo árboles de olivos, uno a la derecha y uno a la izquierda del tazón”.
4 And I answered and spoke to the angel who was speaking with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?”
Entonces le pregunté al ángel con el que hablaba: “¿Qué son estos, mi señor?”
5 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.”
“¿No sabes lo que son?” respondió el ángel. “No, mi señor”, respondí.
6 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.
Entonces me dijo: “Este es el mensaje del Señor a Zorobabel: No es con poder, ni con fuerza sino con mi espíritu, dice el Señor.
7 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.
Aún los obstáculos grandes como montañas serán aplastados ante Zorobabel. Finalmente traerá la piedra angular con gritos de ‘¡Bendiciones sobre ella!’”
8 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Entonces el Señor me dio otro mensaje.
9 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.
Zorobabel con sus propias manos estableció los cimientos de este Templo, y será completado de la misma forma. Entonces sabrás que el Señor Todopoderoso me ha enviado.
10 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.
¿Acaso quién se atreve a menospreciar estos tiempos de comienzos pequeños? Serán felices cuando vean la plomada en la mano de Zorobabel. “Las siete lámparas representan los ojos del Señor que ve a todo el mundo”.
11 And I responded and said to him, “What are these two olive trees to the right of the candlestick, and to its left?”
Entonces le pregunté al ángel: “¿Que significan los dos árboles de olivo que están a los lados del candelabro?”
12 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?”
Y también le pregunté: “¿Que significan las dos ramas de olvido de las cuales sale el aceite dorado a través de las boquillas doradas?”
13 And he spoke to me, saying, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.”
“¿No lo sabes?” respondió el ángel. “No, mi señor”, le respondí.
14 And he said, “These are the two sons of oil, who attend before the Sovereign of all the earth.”
“Estos son los dos que han sido ungidos y que están junto al Señor de toda la tierra”, respondió.
