Zaharija 4

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

Then the angel I had been talking to returned and got my attention, like waking someone from sleep.

2 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.

“What do you see?” he asked me. “I see a lampstand made of solid gold with a bowl at its top having seven lamps on it, each with seven lips.

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

I also see olive trees, one to the right and one to the left of the bowl.”

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

Then I asked the angel I was talking to, “What are these, my lord?”

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

“Don't you know what these are?” the angel replied. “No, my lord,” I responded.

6 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.

Then he told me, “This is the Lord's message to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, says the Lord Almighty.

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

Even obstacles as big as mountains will be flattened before Zerubbabel. Finally he will bring out the capstone to shouts of ‘Blessings on it!’”

8 Poleg tega je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:

Then the Lord gave me another message.

9 »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.

Zerubbabel with his own hands laid the foundations for this Temple, and it will be completed the same way. Then you will know the Lord Almighty has sent me.

10 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.«

For who dares look down on this time of small beginnings? They will be happy when they see the plumb line in Zerubbabel's hand. “The seven lamps represent the eyes of the Lord which see all over the world.”

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

Then I asked the angel, “What are the two olive trees that stand to the right and the left of the lampstand?”

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

And I also asked him, “What are the two olive branches from which the golden oil pours out from through golden pipes?”

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

“Don't you know?” the angel replied. “No, my lord,” I responded.

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

“These are the two who have been anointed who stand by the Lord of all the earth,” he replied.
