< 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 messenger who is speaking with me turns back, and stirs me up as one who is stirred up 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 says to me, “What are you seeing?” And I say, “I have looked, and behold, a lampstand of gold—all of it, and its bowl [is] on its top, and its seven lamps [are] on it, and twice seven pipes [are] to the lights that [are] on its top,
3 A taengkah olive rhoi khaw tuidueh kah bantang ah pakhat a banvoei ah pakhat pai ke,” ka ti nah.
and two olive-trees [are] by it, one on the right of the bowl and one on its left.”
4 Te phoeiah kai taengah aka cal puencawn te ka doo tih, “Ka boeipa he balae a thui,” ka ti nah.
And I answer and speak to the messenger who is speaking with me, saying, “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.
And the messenger who is speaking with me answers and says to me, “Have you not known what these [are]?” And I say, “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.
And he answers and speaks to me, saying, “This [is] a word of YHWH to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by a force, nor by power, But—by My Spirit, said YHWH of Hosts.
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—for a plain! And he has brought forth the top-stone, Cries of Grace, grace—[are] to it.”
8 Te phoeiah ah BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pai tih,
And there is a word of YHWH 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.
“Hands of Zerubbabel founded this house, And his hands finish it, And you have known that YHWH of Hosts 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 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 YHWH, They are going to and fro in all the land.”
11 Te phoeiah anih te ka doo tih, “Hmaitung banvoei neh bantang kah olive rhoi he balae?” ka ti nah.
And I answer and say to him, “What [are] these two olive-trees, on the right of the lampstand, and on its 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 I answer a second time, and say to 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 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 speaks to me, saying, “Have you not known what these [are]?” And I say, “No, my lord.”
14 Te daengah, “He tah diklai pum kah boei taengah aka pai situi capa rhoi ni,” a ti.
And he says, “These [are] the two sons of the oil, who are standing by the Lord of the whole earth.”
