Zechariah 4

1 And the angel who had been speaking with me returned, and he awakened me, like a man who is awakened from 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 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.

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 there were two olive trees upon it: one to the right of the lamp, and one to its left.”

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

4 And I answered and spoke to the angel who was 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 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.”

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 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.

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 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.

›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 the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

Poleg tega je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:

9 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.

»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 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.

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 responded and said to him, “What are these two olive trees to the right of the candlestick, and to 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 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?”

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 spoke to me, saying, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.”

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

14 And he said, “These are the two sons of oil, who attend before the Sovereign of all the earth.”

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