Zacarias 4
1 Pagkatapos ang anghel na nakikipag-usap sa akin ay bumalik at ginising ako na katulad ng isang lalaking ginising mula sa kaniyang pagkakatulog.
And the angel who had been speaking with me returned, and he awakened me, like a man who is awakened from his sleep.
2 Sinabi niya sa akin, “Ano ang nakikita mo?” Sinabi ko, “Nakikita ko ang isang patungan ng lampara na gawa lahat sa ginto, may isang mangkok sa ibabaw nito. May pito itong lampara at pitong mitsa sa ibabaw ng bawat lampara.
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.
3 Dalawang puno ng olibo ang nasa tabi nito, isa sa kanang bahagi ng mangkok at isa sa kaliwang bahagi.”
And there were two olive trees upon it: one to the right of the lamp, and one to its left.”
4 Kaya muli akong nagsalita sa anghel na nakikipag-usap sa akin. Sinabi ko, “Ano ang kahulugan ng mga bagay na ito, aking panginoon?”
And I answered and spoke to the angel who was speaking with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?”
5 Sumagot ang anghel na nakikipag-usap sa akin at sinabi, “Hindi mo ba alam kung ano ang kahulugan ng mga bagay na ito?” Sinabi ko, “Hindi, aking panginoon.”
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.”
6 Kaya sinabi niya sa akin, “Ito ang salita ni Yahweh kay Zerubabel: Hindi sa pamamagitan ng lakas ni sa pamamagitan ng kapangyarihan, ngunit sa pamamagitan ng aking Espiritu,' sabi ni Yahweh ng mga hukbo.
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.
7 'Ano ka, malaking bundok? Magiging isa kang kapatagan sa harapan ni Zerubabel at ilalabas niya ang itaas na bato upang sumigaw ng, “Biyaya! Biyaya!”'”
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.
8 Dumating sa akin ang salita ni Yahweh:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
9 “Ang mga kamay ni Zerubabel ang naglatag sa pundasyon ng tahanang ito at ang kaniyang mga kamay ang tatapos nito. At malalaman mo na si Yahweh ng mga hukbo ang nagsugo sa akin sa iyo.
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.
10 Sino ang humamak sa araw ng mga malililit na bagay? Magagalak ang mga taong ito at makikita ang pampantay na bato sa kamay ni Zerubabel. (Ang pitong lamparang ito ang mga mata ni Yahweh na naglilibot sa buong daigdig.)”
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.
11 Pagkatapos, tinanong ko ang anghel. “Ano itong dalawang puno ng olibo na nakatayo sa kaliwa at sa kanan ng patungan ng lampara?”
And I responded and said to him, “What are these two olive trees to the right of the candlestick, and to its left?”
12 Muli ko siyang tinanong, “Ano ang dalawang sanga ng olibo na ito sa tabi ng dalawang gintong tubo na may gintong langis na bumubuhos mula sa mga ito?
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?”
13 “Hindi mo ba alam kung ano ang mga ito?” At sinabi ko, “Hindi, aking panginoon.”
And he spoke to me, saying, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.”
14 Kaya sinabi niya, “Ito ang dalawang puno ng olibo na nakatayo upang paglingkuran ang Panginoon ng buong daigdig.”
And he said, “These are the two sons of oil, who attend before the Sovereign of all the earth.”
