Zekariah 4
1 To naah kai khae lokthui van kami loe amlaem moe, iip kami pathawk baktih toengah, kai to ang pathawk.
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,
2 Anih mah, Timaw na hnuk? tiah ang naa. Kai mah, ka khet naah, a nuiah hmai im kaom, sui hoi sak ih hmaithawk paanghaih tung sarihto, a nuiah hmai im sarihto hoi hmaithawk hmai sarihto:
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,
3 hmai im taeng bantang bangah maeto, banqoi bangah maeto kaom, Olive thing hnetto ka hnuk, tiah ka naa.
and two olive-trees [are] by it, one on the right of the bowl, and one on its left.'
4 Kai hoi lokpae van kami khaeah, Ka angraeng, hae hmuennawk loe tih thuih koehhaih ih maw? tiah ka naa.
And I answer and speak unto the messenger who is speaking with me, saying, 'What [are] these, my lord?'
5 Kai hoi lokpae van kami mah kai khaeah, Hae hmuennawk loe tih thuih koehhaih ih maw, tito na panoek ai maw? tiah ang naa. Kai mah, Ka panoek ai, angraeng, tiah ka naa.
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.'
6 To pongah anih mah kai khaeah, Zerubabel khaeah angzo Angraeng ih lok loe hae tiah oh; hae hmuen loe thacakhaih hoiah om ai, sak thaihaih hoiah doeh om ai, ka Muithla rang hoiah ni om tih, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih.
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.
7 Aw kalen pui mae nang loe tiah maw na oh? Nang loe Zerubabel hma ah tangtling ah na om tih: tahmenhaih, tahmenhaih, tiah hanghaih hoiah lokpui koek im takii ih thlung to anih mah sin tih, tiah ang naa.
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.'
8 To naah Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,
And there is a word of Jehovah to me, saying,
9 hae im loe Zerubbabel ih ban hoiah sak amtong boeh, a ban hoiah ni sak pacoengah om tih: to naah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, nangcae khaeah kai ang patoeh, tito na panoek o tih.
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.
10 Hae hmuen tetta patoek kami loe mi maw? Hae sarihtonawk mah Zerubabel ban ih tahhaih qui to hnuk o naah anghoe o tih; to sarihtonawk loe Angraeng ih mik ah oh o, to miknawk loe ahnuk ahma long pum ah caeh o.
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.'
11 To naah kai mah anih khaeah, Hmaithawk paaanghaih bantang bang hoi banqoi bangah kaom Olive thing hnetto loe tih thuih koehhaih ih maw? tiah ka dueng.
And I answer and say unto him, 'What [are] these two olive-trees, on the right of the candlestick, and on its left?'
12 To pacoengah anih khaeah, Sui moithawk hmaitui paekhaih sui tuicawn hnetto taengah kaom Olive thing tanghang hnetto loe tih thuih koehhaih ih maw? tiah ka dueng let bae.
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?'
13 Anih mah kai khaeah, Hae hmuennawk thuih koehhaih to na panoek ai maw? tiah ang naa. Kai mah, Ka panoek ai, angraeng, tiah ka naa.
And he speaketh unto me, saying, 'Hast thou not known what these [are]?' And I say, 'No, my lord.'
14 To pongah anih mah, Hae hnik loe long pum ukkung Angraeng taengah kangdoe, situi nok ih kami hnik ni, tiah ang naa.
And he saith, 'These [are] the two sons of the oil, who are standing by the Lord of the whole earth.'
