Zekariya 4
1 Kenaka mngelo amene amayankhula nane anabwerera nandidzutsa, ngati mmene amadzutsira munthu amene ali mʼtulo.
Awo malayika eyali ayogera nange n’akomawo, n’anzuukusa ng’omuntu bw’azuukusibwa mu tulo.
2 Anandifunsa kuti, “Kodi ukuona chiyani?” Ndinayankha kuti, “Ine ndikuona choyikapo nyale, chonse chagolide ndi mbale pamwamba pake ndi nyale zoyaka zisanu ndi ziwiri, iliyonse ili ndi zibowo zisanu ndi ziwiri zolowetsera zingwe zoyatsira.
N’ambuuza nti, “Kiki ky’olaba?” Ne muddamu nti, “Ndaba ekikondo ky’ettaala nga kyonna kya zaabu, nga waggulu kiriko n’akabakuli kaakwo, n’ettaala zaakwo omusanvu, nga buli ttaala eriko omumwa gwayo.
3 Ndiponso pambali pake pali mitengo ya olivi iwiri, umodzi uli kumanja kwa mbaleyo ndipo winawo kumanzere.”
Era waliwo emiti emizeeyituuni ebiri ku mabbali gaakyo, ogumu ku mukono ogwa ddyo ogw’akabakuli, n’omulala ku mukono ogwa kkono.”
4 Ndinamufunsa mngelo amene amayankhula nane kuti, “Kodi zimenezi nʼchiyani mbuye wanga?”
Ne mbuuza malayika eyali ayogera nange nti, “Bino biki mukama wange?”
5 Iye anandiyankha kuti, “Kodi iwe sukuzidziwa zimenezi?” Ndinayankha kuti, “Ayi mbuye wanga.”
Malayika eyali ayogera nange n’addamu n’aŋŋamba nti, “Tobimanyi?” Ne muddamu nti, “Nedda mukama wange.”
6 Choncho iye anandiwuza kuti, “Mawu a Yehova kwa Zerubabeli ndi awa: ‘Osati mwa nkhondo kapena ndi mphamvu, koma ndi Mzimu wanga,’ akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
Awo n’addamu n’aŋŋamba nti, “Kino kye kigambo kya Mukama eri Zerubbaberi: ‘Si lwa maanyi so si lwa buyinza naye lwa Mwoyo wange,’ bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye.
7 “Kodi ndiwe yani, iwe phiri lamphamvu? Pamaso pa Zerubabeli udzasanduka dziko losalala. Pamenepo adzabweretsa mwala wotsiriza. Akamadzawuyika pamwamba anthu adzafuwula kuti, ‘Mulungu adalitse Nyumbayi! Mulungu adalitse Nyumbayi!’”
“Ggwe olusozi olunene weyita ki? Mu maaso ga Zerubbaberi olibeera lusenyi, era alireeta ejjinja erya waggulu mu mizira n’okwogerera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka ng’agamba nti, ‘Liweebwe omukisa, liweebwe omukisa!’”
8 Ndipo Yehova anayankhulanso nane kuti,
Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira nga kyogera nti,
9 “Manja a Zerubabeli ndiwo ayika maziko a Nyumbayi; adzatsiriza ndi manja ake omwewo. Pamenepo iwe udzadziwa kuti Yehova Wamphamvuzonse ndiye anakutuma.
“Emikono gya Zerubbaberi gitaddewo omusingi gwa yeekaalu eno era girigumaliriza, era olitegeera nti Mukama ow’Eggye ye yantuma gye muli.
10 “Ndani wanyoza tsiku la zinthu zazingʼono? Anthu adzasangalala akadzaona chingwe choyezera mʼmanja mwa Zerubabeli. (“Nyale zisanu ndi ziwirizi ndi maso a Yehova, amene amayangʼanayangʼana pa dziko lapansi.”)
“Ani anyooma olunaku olw’ebintu ebitono? Abantu balijaguza, bwe baliraba ejjinja erigera mu mukono gwa Zerubbaberi. Gano omusanvu ge maaso ga Katonda agayitaayita mu nsi yonna.”
11 Kenaka ndinafunsa mngelo uja kuti, “Kodi mitengo ya olivi iwiri ili kumanja ndi kumanzere kwa choyikapo nyalechi ikutanthauza chiyani?”
Ne ndyoka mubuuza nti, “Emizeeyituuni gino ebiri ku mukono ogwa ddyo ne ku gwa kkono ogw’ekikondo ky’ettabaaza, gitegeeza ki?”
12 Ndinamufunsanso kuti, “Kodi nthambi ziwiri za mtengo wa olivi zomwe zili pambali pa mipopi yodzera mafuta iwiri yagolide zikutanthauza chiyani?”
Ne nnyongera okumubuuza nti, “Gano amatabi abiri ag’emizeeyituuni agaliraanye emidumu gya zaabu ge gayitamu amafuta aga zaabu?”
13 Iye anandiyankha kuti, “Kodi iwe sukuzidziwa zimenezi?” Ine ndinati, “Ayi mbuye wanga.”
N’anziramu nti, “Tobimanyi?” Ne njogera nti, “Nedda, mukama wange.”
14 Choncho iye anati, “Amenewa ndi anthu awiri amene adzozedwa kuti atumikire Ambuye pa dziko lonse lapansi.”
Awo n’addamu nti, “Abo be babiri abaafukibwako amafuta abaweereza Mukama ow’ensi yonna.”
