Zechariah 4

1 And the messenger who is speaking with me doth turn back, and stir me up as one who is stirred up out of 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 saith unto me, 'What art thou seeing?' And I say, 'I have looked, and lo, a candlestick of gold — all of it, and its bowl [is] on its top, and its seven lamps [are] upon it, and twice seven pipes [are] to the lights that [are] on 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 two olive-trees [are] by it, one on the right of the bowl, and one on its left.'

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

4 And I answer and speak unto the messenger who is 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 messenger who is speaking with me answereth and saith unto me, 'Hast thou not known what these [are]?' And I say, '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 answereth and speaketh unto me, saying: 'This [is] a word of Jehovah unto Zerubbabel, saying: Not by a force, nor by power, But — by My Spirit, said Jehovah 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 Who [art] thou, O great mountain Before Zerubbabel — for a plain! And he hath brought forth the top-stone, Cries of Grace, grace — [are] to it.'

›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 there is a word of Jehovah to me, saying,

Poleg tega je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:

9 Hands of Zerubbabel did found this house, And his hands do finish it, And thou hast known that Jehovah of Hosts Hath sent me unto 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 trampled on the day of small things, They have rejoiced, And seen the tin weight in the hand of Zerubbabel, These seven [are] the eyes of Jehovah, They are going to and fro in all the land.'

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 answer and say unto him, 'What [are] these two olive-trees, on the right of the candlestick, and on 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 answer a second time, and say unto him, 'What [are] the two branches of the olive trees that, by means of the two golden pipes, are emptying out of themselves the oil?'

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 speaketh unto me, saying, 'Hast thou not known what these [are]?' And I say, 'No, my lord.'

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

14 And he saith, 'These [are] the two sons of the oil, who are standing by the Lord of the whole earth.'

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