Note 1 topic: writing-symlanguage
οὗτοί εἰσιν αἱ δύο ἐλαῖαι καὶ αἱ δύο λυχνίαι, αἱ ἐνώπιον τοῦ Κυρίου τῆς γῆς ἑστῶτες
these are the two olive_trees and the two lampstands ¬which before the Lord ˱of˲_the earth /having/_stood
The two olive trees and the two lampstands symbolize these witnesses, but they are not literally the witnesses. Alternate translation: “The two olive trees and the two lampstands that stood before the Lord of the earth represent these witnesses”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
οὗτοί εἰσιν αἱ δύο ἐλαῖαι καὶ αἱ δύο λυχνίαι, αἱ ἐνώπιον τοῦ Κυρίου τῆς γῆς ἑστῶτες
these are the two olive_trees and the two lampstands ¬which before the Lord ˱of˲_the earth /having/_stood
John assumes that his readers will understand that he is alluding to the vision had by the prophet Zechariah, who saw two olive trees and two lampstands in Zechariah 4:2–6. In that vision, the trees and lampstands represented the governor, Zerubbabel, and the high priest, Joshua, who led the rebuilding of the temple despite opposition. In the same way, the two witnesses in John’s vision will faithfully call people to obey God despite opposition. You could indicate that explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “These two witnesses will serve God faithfully despite opposition just as Zerubbabel and Joshua did, whom the prophet Zechariah saw depicted as two olive trees and two lampstands in a vision that God gave him”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
αἱ ἐνώπιον & ἑστῶτες
the the ¬which before & /having/_stood
In this context, the phrase stand before means to stay in the presence of another person in order to serve them whenever needed. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “who faithfully serve”
