Zekhariah 4

1 Te phoeiah kai taengah aka cal puencawn ha mael tih a ih lamloh aka haenghang hlang bangla kai n'haeng.

Then the angel who was speaking with me returned and woke me, as a man is awakened from 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.

“What do you see?” he asked. “I see a solid gold lampstand,” I replied, “with a bowl at the top and seven lamps on it, with seven spouts to the lamps.

3 A taengkah olive rhoi khaw tuidueh kah bantang ah pakhat a banvoei ah pakhat pai ke,” ka ti nah.

There are also two olive trees beside it, one on the right side of the bowl and the other on its left.”

4 Te phoeiah kai taengah aka cal puencawn te ka doo tih, “Ka boeipa he balae a thui,” ka ti nah.

“What are these, my lord?” I asked the angel who was speaking with me.

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.

“Do you not know what they are?” replied the angel. “No, my lord,” I answered.

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.

So he said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the LORD 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.

What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain. Then he will bring forth the capstone accompanied by shouts 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 laid the foundation of this house, and his hands will complete it. Then you will know that the LORD 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 has despised the day of small things? But these seven eyes of the LORD, which scan the whole earth, will rejoice when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel.”

11 Te phoeiah anih te ka doo tih, “Hmaitung banvoei neh bantang kah olive rhoi he balae?” ka ti nah.

Then I asked the angel, “What are the two olive trees on the right and left of the lampstand?”

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 questioned him further, “What are the two olive branches beside the two gold pipes from which the golden oil pours?”

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.

“Do you not know what these are?” he inquired. “No, my lord,” I replied.

14 Te daengah, “He tah diklai pum kah boei taengah aka pai situi capa rhoi ni,” a ti.

So he said, “These are the two anointed ones who are standing beside the Lord of all the earth.”
