Zechariah 4

1 And the messenger who is speaking with me turns back, and stirs me up as one who is stirred up out of his sleep,

Angel, ki je govoril z menoj, je ponovno prišel in me prebudil, kakor človeka, ki je prebujen iz svojega spanja

2 and he says to me, “What are you seeing?” And I say, “I have looked, and behold, a lampstand of gold—all of it, and its bowl [is] on its top, and its seven lamps [are] on it, and twice seven pipes [are] to the lights that [are] on its top,

ter mi rekel: »Kaj vidiš?« Rekel sem: »Pogledal sem in glej, svečnik, ves iz zlata, s skledico na njegovem vrhu in njegovih sedem svetilk na njem in sedem cevk k sedmim svetilkam, ki so na njegovem vrhu.

3 and two olive-trees [are] by it, one on the right of the bowl and one on its left.”

In ob njem dve oljki, eno na desni strani skledice in drugo na njeni levi strani.«

4 And I answer and speak to the messenger who is speaking with me, saying, “What [are] these, my lord?”

Tako sem odgovoril in spregovoril angelu, ki je govoril z menoj, rekoč: »Kaj so ti, moj gospod?«

5 And the messenger who is speaking with me answers and says to me, “Have you not known what these [are]?” And I say, “No, my lord.”

Potem je angel, ki je govoril z menoj, odgovoril in mi rekel: »Ali ne veš kaj so ti?« Rekel sem: »Ne, moj gospod.«

6 And he answers and speaks to me, saying, “This [is] a word of YHWH to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by a force, nor by power, But—by My Spirit, said YHWH of Hosts.

Potem je odgovoril in mi spregovoril, rekoč: »To je beseda od Gospoda Zerubabélu, rekoč: ›Ne z močjo niti ne z oblastjo, temveč z mojim duhom, ‹« govori Gospod nad bojevniki.

7 Who [are] you, O great mountain Before Zerubbabel—for a plain! And he has brought forth the top-stone, Cries of Grace, grace—[are] to it.”

›Kdo si ti, oh velika gora? Pred Zerubabélom boš postala ravnina in on bo privedel njen zaključni kamen z vriskanji, kličoč: ›Milost, milost njemu.‹«

8 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,

Poleg tega je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:

9 “Hands of Zerubbabel founded this house, And his hands finish it, And you have known that YHWH of Hosts Has sent Me to you.

»Zerubabélove roke so položile temelj tej hiši. Njegove roke jo bodo tudi dokončale in vedel boš, da me je k vam poslal Gospod nad bojevniki.

10 For who trampled on the day of small things, They have rejoiced, And seen the tin weight in the hand of Zerubbabel, These seven [are] the eyes of YHWH, They are going to and fro in all the land.”

Kajti kdo je preziral dan majhnih stvari? Kajti razveseljevali se bodo in videli grezilo v roki Zerubabéla s tistimi sedmimi. Te so Gospodove oči, ki tečejo sem ter tja po celotni zemlji.«

11 And I answer and say to him, “What [are] these two olive-trees, on the right of the lampstand, and on its left?”

Potem sem odgovoril in mu rekel: »Kaj sta ti dve oljki na desni strani svečnika in na njegovi levi strani?«

12 And I answer a second time, and say to him, “What [are] the two branches of the olive trees that, by means of the two golden pipes, are emptying out of themselves the oil?”

Ponovno sem odgovoril in mu rekel: »Kaj sta ti dve oljkovi mladiki, ki skozi dve zlati cevki praznita zlato olje iz njiju.«

13 And he speaks to me, saying, “Have you not known what these [are]?” And I say, “No, my lord.”

Odgovoril mi je in rekel: »Ne veš kaj sta le-ti? Rekel sem: »Ne, moj gospod.«

14 And he says, “These [are] the two sons of the oil, who are standing by the Lord of the whole earth.”

Potem je rekel: »To sta dva maziljenca, ki stojita pri Gospodu celotne zemlje.«
