Zechariah 4
1 Hijou chun kakihoupi Vantil chu ahung kile kitin a-ihmu bangin eihin sukhangin ahi.
And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.
2 Tuahi ipi namum tin eidong in ahi, keiman ka donbut nin, sanna ngenna kisem thaomei tunna achunga thaotwi khonkhat akitun kamui kati. Hiche khon vella chun thaomei sagi aum in khat cheh chun avahna patjang khat neicheh ahom sagi aummin ahi.
And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I see, and behold, a lamp-stand all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps thereon, seven [lamps] and seven pipes to the lamps, which are upon the top thereof;
3 Chuleh keiman hiche khon langte achun Olive thing ni kamun ahi.
and two olive-trees beside it, one on the right of the bowl, and the other on the left of it.
4 Hijou chun keiman Vantil chu ka dong in Pakai hiche hohi ipi tina ham? katin ahileh,
And I answered and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
5 Vantil chun na hetlou ham tin eidong in ahileh keiman ka hepoi ka Pakai katin ahi.
And the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, No, my lord.
6 Hijou chun aman ei seipeh in, “Hiche hi Pakaiyin Zerubbabel komma asei chu ahi, hunamma natoh naleh thahat vanga hilou ding amavang keima Lhagao vanga hiding ahibouve, tin thaneipen Pakaiyin aseijin ahi.
And he answered and spoke unto me, saying, This is the word of Jehovah unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith Jehovah of hosts.
7 Imachan nang jou lou ding, mol sangpen jeng in jong Zerubbabel lampi chu asuh tang jou lou ding ama masanga chu phaicham sohjeng ding ahi. Zerubbabel hin houin semphatna a achaina song asettoh phattengleh, mipihon Pathen in phattheiboh hen, Pathen in phattheiboh hen!” tia asapdiu ahi.
Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel [thou dost become] a plain; and he shall bring forth the head-stone with shoutings: Grace, grace unto it!
8 Hijeh chun Pakaija kon nin thupeh chomkhat ahung lhung kit-in,
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
9 Zerubbabal hi Hou-in aleibul ana tungdoh a chu ahin, aman asahchai ding ahi. Hiteng chuleh hatchungnung Pakai chun eihin sol ahi ti na het diu ahi.
The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; and his hands shall finish it: and thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto you.
10 Natoh ahina ding banga amachal lou jeh in alungthoi’un ahi, ahinla Zerubbabel hin houin asah chu atoh jom amuteng uleh kipah tauvinte. Thaomei sagi kiti hin Pakai mit-in vannoi leiset pumpi akholsoh vetsahna ahi.
For who hath despised the day of small things? Yea, they shall rejoice [even] those seven — and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel: these are the eyes of Jehovah, which run to and fro in the whole earth.
11 Hijou chun keiman vantil chu ka dong in, hiche thaomei khom pang tenia Olive thingphung nihi ipi tina hintem,
And I answered and said unto him, What are these two olive-trees on the right of the lamp-stand and on its left?
12 Thaotwi kisun lhah naji sana luong teni komma Olive thingbah teni khun ipi asatsat hin tem? kati.
And I answered the second time and said unto him, What are the two olive-branches which are beside the two golden tubes that empty the gold out of themselves?
13 Aman eidong in na hetlou ham eiti. Keiman ka donbut in ka hepoi Pakai kati.
And he spoke to me, saying, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, No, my lord.
14 Hichun aman, “Hiche hin thao kinusa leiset pumpi Pakai laltouna komma ding jing van mi teni chu avetsah ahi”ati.
And he said, These are the two sons of oil, that stand before the Lord of the whole earth.
