and=he/it_went_out the,angel [who,was]_speaking with,me
Zechariah is using the word translated as And to introduce a new event in the story. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for introducing a new event.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
שָׂ֣א נָ֤א עֵינֶ֨יךָ֙ וּרְאֵ֔ה
lift_up now eyes_of,your and,see
The angel is using Lift up now your eyes and see as a common expression of the culture to mean “look up and pay attention.” If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Look up now and pay attention to]

OET (OET-RV) Then the messenger who’d been talking with me came over and said to me, “Look up and see what’s coming now.”
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
