Zekhariah 4
1 Te phoeiah kai taengah aka cal puencawn ha mael tih a ih lamloh aka haenghang hlang bangla kai n'haeng.
And the angel who was talking to me came again, awaking me as a man out of his sleep.
2 Te vaengah kai te, “Balae na hmuh,” a ti. Te dongah ka voek tih, “Ka sawt vaengah, a pum la sui hmaitung neh a soi ah tuidueh om. A hmaithoi parhih te a soah parhih la om. A soi kah hmaithoi te tuicawn parhih om.
And he said to me, What do you see? And I said, I see a light-support, made all of gold, with its cup on the top of it and seven lights on it; and there are seven pipes to every one of the lights which are on the top of it;
3 A taengkah olive rhoi khaw tuidueh kah bantang ah pakhat a banvoei ah pakhat pai ke,” ka ti nah.
And two olive-trees by it, one on the right side of the cup and one on the left.
4 Te phoeiah kai taengah aka cal puencawn te ka doo tih, “Ka boeipa he balae a thui,” ka ti nah.
And I made answer and said to the angel who was talking to me, What are these, my lord?
5 Kai taengah aka cal puencawn lohkai te n'doo tih, “He he balae ti na ming moenih a?” a ti tih, “Ka boeipa ka ming pawh,” ka ti nah.
Then the angel who was talking to me, answering me, said, Have you no knowledge of what these are? And I said, No, my lord.
6 Te dongah kai te, “BOEIPA ol loh he ni a thui. Zerubbabel te, 'Tatthai nen moenih, thadueng nen moenih, ka Mueihla nen ni tila caempuei BOEIPA loh a thui,’ ti nah.
This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by force or by power, but by my spirit, says the Lord of armies.
7 Tlang len nang te unim? Zerubbabel mikhmuh ah tlangkol la om ni. Te vaengah mikdaithen, mikdaithen tila pang ol neh lumuek lung te a khuen ni.
Who are you, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel you will become level: and he will let all see the headstone, with cries of Grace, grace, to it.
8 Te phoeiah ah BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pai tih,
Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
9 “He im he Zerubbabel kut loh a suen tih amah kut long ni a coeng eh. Te vaengah caempuei BOEIPA loh nangmih taengah kai n'tueih te na ming ni.
The hands of Zerubbabel have put the base of this house in place, and his hands will make it complete; and it will be clear to you that the Lord of armies has sent me to you.
10 A phoeng hnin te unim aka hnoelrhoeng? Zerubbabel kut dongkah samphae lung te a hmuh vaengah a kohoe uh ni. BOEIPA mik he diklai pum ah parhih la van thikthuek,” a ti.
For who has had a poor opinion of the day of small things? for they will be glad when they see the weighted measuring-line in the hand of Zerubbabel. Then he said in answer to me, These seven lights are the eyes of the Lord which go quickly up and down through all the earth.
11 Te phoeiah anih te ka doo tih, “Hmaitung banvoei neh bantang kah olive rhoi he balae?” ka ti nah.
And I made answer and said to him, What are these two olive-trees on the right side of the light-support and on the left?
12 Te phoeiah a pabae la ka doo tih anih te, “A so lamloh sui a loei sui paitop rhoi khaep kah olive mo rhoi ta balae?” ka ti nah.
And answering a second time, I said to him, What are these two olive branches, through whose gold pipes the oil is drained out?
13 Te vaengah kai te han thui tih, “He he balae ti khaw na ming moenih a?” a ti tih, “Ka boeipa ka ming moenih,” ka ti nah.
And he said in answer to me, Have you no knowledge what these are? And I said, No, my lord.
14 Te daengah, “He tah diklai pum kah boei taengah aka pai situi capa rhoi ni,” a ti.
And he said, These are the two sons of oil, whose place is by the Lord of all the earth.
