Zechariah 4
1 And the agent who talked with me came again, and awoke me, as a man who is awakened out of his sleep.
Ipapo mutumwa akataura neni akauyazve kwandiri akandimutsa, somunhu anomutswa pahope dzake.
2 And he said to me, What do thou see? And I said, I have seen, and, behold, a lampstand all of gold, with its bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps on it. There are seven pipes to each of the lamps, which are upon the top of it,
Akandibvunza achiti, “Unooneiko?” Ndakapindura ndikati, “Ndinoona chigadziko chomwenje chegoridhe rizere, chine mbiya pamusoro pacho nemwenje minomwe pamusoro pacho, mwenje mumwe nomumwe une mbombi nomwe.
3 and two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side of it.
Uyezve pane miti miviri yemiorivhi parutivi pacho, mumwe kurutivi rworudyi rwembiya nomumwe kurutivi rworuboshwe kwayo.”
4 And I answered and spoke to the agent who talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
Ndakabvunza mutumwa aitaura ndichiti, “Izvi zviiko, ishe wangu?”
5 Then the agent who talked with me answered and said to me, Do thou not know what these are? And I said, No, my lord.
Akapindura akati, “Hauzivi kuti izvi zvii?” Ini ndakapindura ndichiti, “Kwete, ishe wangu.”
6 Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, This is the word of Jehovah to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says Jehovah of hosts.
Saka akati kwandiri, “Iri ndiro shoko raJehovha kuna Zerubhabheri: ‘Hazviitwi nehondo kana nesimba, asi nomweya wangu,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha Wamasimba Ose.
7 Who are thou, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel thou shall become a plain, and he shall bring forth the top stone with shoutings of Grace, grace, to it.
“Uri chiiko, iwe gomo guru? Pamberi paZerubhabheri uchaitwa bani. Ipapo iye achabudisa ibwe rokumusoro vanhu vachidanidzira vachiti, ‘Mwari ngaariropafadze! Mwari ngaariropafadze!’”
8 Moreover the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Ipapo shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri richiti,
9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands shall also finish it. And thou shall know that Jehovah of hosts has sent me to you.
“Maoko aZerubhabheri akateya nheyo dzetemberi ino; maoko ake achaipedzisazve. Ipapo uchaziva kuti Jehovha Wamasimba Ose akandituma kwauri.
10 For who has despised the day of small things? For these seven shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel, the eyes of Jehovah, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
“Ndiani anoshora zuva rezvinhu zviduku? Vanhu vachafara pavachaona rwodzi rwokuyera muruoko rwaZerubhabheri. “(Zvinomwe izvi ndizvo maziso aJehovha, anoona nyika yose.)”
11 Then I answered, and said to him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the lampstand and upon the left side of it?
Ipapo ndakabvunza mutumwa ndichiti, “Ko, miti yemiorivhi miviri iyi iri kurudyi nokuruboshwe kwechigadziko chomwenje ndeyei?”
12 And I answered the second time, and said to him, What are these two olive-branches, which are beside the two golden spouts that empty the golden oil out of themselves?
Uyezve ndakamubvunza kuti, “Ko, matavi aya maviri omuorivhi parutivi pembombi mbiri dzegoridhe dzinodurura mafuta egoridhe ndeei?”
13 And he answered me and said, Do thou not know what these are? And I said, No, my lord.
Akapindura akati, “Hauzivi kuti izvi zvii?” Ini ndikati, “Kwete, ishe wangu.”
14 Then he said, These are the two anointed ones, who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
Saka akati, “Ava ndivo vaviri vakazodzwa kuti vashumire Ishe wenyika yose.”
