AT: "John was like a lamp that was burning and shining" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]]) Here "lamp" and "light" are metaphors. John taught the people about God and this was like a lamp shining its light into the dark. AT: "John taught you about God and this was like a lamp shining its light. And for a while what John said made you happy" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
