Zacarías 4
1 El ángel que hablaba conmigo se volvió y me despertó, como cuando un hombre es despertado de su sueño.
Then the angel who had been talking with me returned, and he called to me as though I had been asleep.
2 Y me preguntó: ¿Qué miras? Respondí: Ciertamente, miro un candelabro todo de oro, con su tazón encima, y sus siete lámparas sobre él, con siete canales para cada una de las lámparas que están encima.
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.
3 Y dos olivos junto a él, uno por cada lado del tazón.
Furthermore, I see two olive trees, one at the right side of the lampstand and one at the left side.”
4 Proseguí y dije al ángel que hablaba conmigo: ¿Qué es esto, ʼadón mío?
I asked the angel who was talking with me, “Sir, what are these?”
5 Y el ángel que hablaba conmigo respondió: ¿No sabes qué es esto? Dije: No, ʼadón mío.
He replied, “Surely you know [RHQ] what they are?” I replied, “No, I do not know.”
6 Y él me dijo: Ésta es la Palabra de Yavé a Zorobabel, Quien dice: No con ejército, ni con fuerza, sino con mi Espíritu, dice Yavé de las huestes.
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.
7 ¿Qué eres tú, oh gran montaña? ¡Ante Zorobabel serás una explanada! Él sacará la piedra principal de remate con aclamaciones: ¡Gracia, gracia a ella!
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!”’”
8 Además la Palabra de Yavé vino a mí:
Then Yahweh gave me [another] message.
9 Las manos de Zorobabel pusieron los cimientos de esta Casa, y sus manos la acabarán. Entonces entenderás que Yavé de las huestes me envió a ustedes.
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.”
10 Porque ¿quién es el que menosprecia el día de las pequeñas cosas? Porque estos siete se alegrarán y mirarán la plomada en mano de Zorobabel. Son los siete ojos de Yavé que recorren toda la tierra.
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.”
11 Y hablé la segunda vez y le pregunté: ¿Qué simbolizan estos dos olivos, a la derecha y a la izquierda del candelabro?
Then I asked the angel, “What is [the meaning of] the two olive trees, one on each side of the lampstand?
12 Volví a hablar otra vez y pregunté: ¿Qué simbolizan las dos ramas de olivo que están al lado de los dos canales de oro, que vierten de ellas el [aceite] dorado?
And what [the meaning of] the two olive branches, one alongside each of the gold pipes from which [olive] oil flows to the lamps?”
13 Y me contestó: ¿No sabes qué simbolizan estas cosas? Y dije: No, ʼadón mío.
He replied, “Surely [RHQ] you know what they are?” I replied, “No, sir, [I do not know.]”
14 Respondió: Estos son los dos ungidos que están delante del ʼAdón de toda la tierra.
So he said, “They represent the two [men who have been] appointed [MTY] to serve the Lord who [rules] the entire earth.”
