Zechariah 4
1 Then the angel who had been talking with me returned, and he called to me as though I had been asleep.
Anđeo koji je govorio sa mnom vrati se tad i probudi me kao čovjeka koji se oda sna budi.
2 He asked me, “What do you see?” I replied, “I see a lampstand [made] completely of gold. There is a small bowl [for olive oil] at the top, and there are seven [small] lamps around the bowl, and a place for a wick on each lamp.
“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.
3 Furthermore, I see two olive trees, one at the right side of the lampstand and one at the left side.”
Dvije su masline kraj njega, jedna njemu zdesna, druga slijeva.”
4 I asked the angel who was talking with me, “Sir, what are these?”
Obratih se anđelu koji je govorio sa mnom i upitah ga: “Što je to, gospodaru?”
5 He replied, “Surely you know [RHQ] what they are?” I replied, “No, I do not know.”
Anđeo koji je govorio sa mnom odgovori mi: “Zar ne znaš što je to?” Ja rekoh: “Ne, gospodaru.”
6 Then he said to me, “This is the message that Yahweh [says that you should give] to Zerubbabel [the governor of Judah: ‘You will do what I want you to do, but it will] not be by your own strength or power. It will be [done] by [the power of] my Spirit, says the Commander of the armies of angels.
[6a] On mi tad odgovori ovako: [6b]Evo riječi Jahvine Zerubabelu: “Ne silom niti snagom, već duhom mojim!” - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama.
7 Zerubbabel, you [have many difficult matters to handle. They are like] high mountains [MET]. But they will [become easy to handle, as though] they will become flat land. And you will bring [to the temple] the final stone [to complete the rebuilding of the temple]. When you do that, [all the people] will shout repeatedly, “It is beautiful! May God bless it!”’”
Što si ti, goro velika? Pred Zreubabelom postaješ ravnica! On će izvući krunišni kamen uz poklike: “Hvala! Hvala za njega!”
8 Then Yahweh gave me [another] message.
Dođe mi potom riječ Jahvina:
9 He said [to me], “Zerubbabel [SYN] laid the first stone in the foundation of the temple, and he will put the last stone in its place. When that happens, the people will know that [it is I, the Commander of the armies of angels, who] have sent you to them.” And he said, “The seven bowls represent the eyes of Yahweh, who looks back and forth at everything [that happens] on the earth.”
Zerubabelove su ruke ovaj Dom utemeljile, njegove će ga ruke završiti. I vi ćete znati da me k vama poslao Jahve nad Vojskama.
10 No one [RHQ] should think that little things that are done at the beginning of a big project are unimportant. [When the temple is almost finished being rebuilt, ] Zerubbabel will use a (plumb line/string with a stone fastened to it) [to see if the walls they are building are straight]; so when the people see that, they will rejoice.”
[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.”
11 Then I asked the angel, “What is [the meaning of] the two olive trees, one on each side of the lampstand?
Tad progovorih i zapitah ga: “Što su one dvije masline desno i lijevo od svijećnjaka?”
12 And what [the meaning of] the two olive branches, one alongside each of the gold pipes from which [olive] oil flows to the lamps?”
Progovorih opet i upitah ga: “Što su one dvije maslinove grančice koje kroz dvije zlatne cijevi dolijevaju ulje?”
13 He replied, “Surely [RHQ] you know what they are?” I replied, “No, sir, [I do not know.]”
On mi odgovori: “Zar ne znaš što je to?” Odvratih: “Ne, gospodaru!”
14 So he said, “They represent the two [men who have been] appointed [MTY] to serve the Lord who [rules] the entire earth.”
On reče: “To su dva Pomazanika koji stoje pred Gospodarem sve zemlje.”
