Zekhariah 4
1 Kai hoi ka pato roi e kalvantami ni bout a tho teh ka ip e pâhlaw e patetlah kai hah na pâhlaw.
And the angel who had been speaking with me returned, and he awakened me, like a man who is awakened from his sleep.
2 Nang bangmaw na hmu telah na pacei navah kai ni ka khet nah sui hoi sak e hmaiimkhok ka hmu. Sui hmaiimkhok e asawi vah satui hlaam buet touh, hmaiim sari touh, satui hlaam hoi hmaiim sari touh patawp e khom sari touh ao.
And he said to me, “What do you see?” And I said, “I looked, and behold, a candlestick entirely in gold, and its lamp was at its top, and seven oil lamps of it were upon it, and there were seven funnels for the oil lamps that were at its top.
3 Satui hlaam e aranglah olivekung buet touh, avoilah olivekung buet touh, hmai khawm ka ramuk e olivekung kahni touh ao.
And there were two olive trees upon it: one to the right of the lamp, and one to its left.”
4 Kai hoi ka pato roi e kalvantami hanelah ka bawipa hete hnonaw heh bangnaw ne telah ka pacei nah,
And I answered and spoke to the angel who was speaking with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?”
5 Kai hoi ka pato roi e kalvantami ni, hete hnonaw heh bangnaw maw tie na panuek hoeh maw telah na pacei navah, kai ni ka panuek hoeh ka bawipa telah ka ti pouh.
And the angel who was speaking with me answered, and he said to me, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.”
6 Kalvantami ni hai Zerubbabel koe ka tho e Cathut e lawk teh, hete hno teh ransahu lahoi nahoeh, hnosakthainae lahoi hai nahoeh, kaie Muitha lahoi doeh tho ti telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a ti.
And he answered and spoke to me, saying: This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying: Not by an army, nor by might, but in my spirit, says the Lord of hosts.
7 Oe, monpui, nang teh bangtelamaw, Zerubbabel e a hmalah kânging e hmuen lah na o han. Taminaw ni na lungma a naseh. Lungmanae awm naseh telah a hram teh, hote bawi ni im takin a som vah talung a pacoung han.
What are you, great mountain, in the sight of Zerubbabel? You are among the plains. And he will lead out the primary stone, and he will give equal grace to its grace.
8 BAWIPA e lawk kai koe bout ka tho e teh,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
9 Zerubbabel ni hete impui e khomdu a ung toe. Ahni niyah a cum han. ransahu BAWIPA ni kai heh nangmouh onae koe na patoun e hah na panue awh han.
The hand of Zerubbabel has founded this house, and his hands will complete it. And you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you.
10 Hno kathoengca saknae hnin heh apinimaw noutna laipalah ao han. Zerubbabel e a kut dawk bangnuenae rui ao e hah, hote sari touh ni a hmu awh torei teh, a lunghawi awh han. Hote sari touh teh talai van atunglah akalah ka yawng e BAWIPA e a mit naw doeh telah a ti.
For who has despised the little days? And they will rejoice and will see the silver and lead stone in the hand of Zerubbabel. These are the seven eyes of the Lord, which roam quickly through all the earth.
11 Kai ni hai hmaiimkhok kahni touh e avoilah aranglah kaawm e olivekung kahni touh hah bangtelamaw telah thoseh,
And I responded and said to him, “What are these two olive trees to the right of the candlestick, and to its left?”
12 Satui racinae sui tuilo kahni touh hoi amamae satui awinae olivekung kahni touh haiyah bangne telah ka pacei navah,
And I responded a second time and said to him, “What are the two olive branches, which are next to the two golden ridges, in which are the pouring spouts of gold?”
13 Kalvantami ni hote akangnaw na panuek awh hoeh na maw telah na pacei nah kai ni ka panuek hoeh telah ka ti pouh.
And he spoke to me, saying, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.”
14 Kalvantami ni hai hote akungnaw teh talai kaukkung bawi e a hmalah kangdout e satui awi e tami kahni touh doeh a ti.
And he said, “These are the two sons of oil, who attend before the Sovereign of all the earth.”
