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.
Afei ɔbɔfo a ɔne me kasae no san nʼakyi benyan me, sɛnea wonyan obi fi ne nna mu no.
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,
Obisaa me se, “Dɛn na wuhu yi?” Mibuae se, “Mihu kaneadua a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ayɛ a kuruwa si so, na akanea ason a biara wɔ ne dorobɛn sisi so.
3 and two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side of it.
Bio, ngonnua abien sisi ho, baako wɔ kuruwa no nifa so, na baako nso wɔ ne benkum so.”
4 And I answered and spoke to the agent who talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
Mibisaa ɔbɔfo a ɔne me kasae no se, “Eyinom yɛ dɛn, me wura?”
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.
Obuae se, “Wunnim nea eyinom yɛ ana?” Mekae se, “Dabi, me wura.”
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.
Enti ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Eyi ne Awurade asɛm a ɔde rekɔma Serubabel: ‘Ɛnyɛ tumi so, na ɛnyɛ ahoɔden so, na mmom, ɛnam me Honhom so,’ sɛnea Asafo Awurade se ni.
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.
“Woyɛ dɛn, bepɔw kɛse ana? Serubabel anim no wobɛyɛ asase tamaa. Afei ɔde abo afɛɛfɛ no bɛba abehyia osebɔ se, ‘Onyankopɔn nhyira so! Onyankopɔn nhyira so!’”
8 Moreover the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Na Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se:
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.
“Serubabel nsa na ato asɔredan yi fapem, ne nsa nso na ebewie. Na mubehu sɛ, Asafo Awurade na wasoma me mo nkyɛn.
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.
“Hena na obu nneɛma nketenkete mfiaseda animtiaa? Sɛ nnipa hu sɛ Serubabel kura kirebennyɛ susudua no a, wɔn ani begye. “(Saa ani ason yi yɛ Awurade ani a ɛhwɛ wiase mmaa nyinaa.)”
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?
Na mibisaa ɔbɔfo no se, “Saa ngonnua abien no a esisi kaneadua no nifa ne benkum no yɛ dɛn?”
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?
Na mibisaa no bio se, “Ngodua mman abien a ehwie ngo a ani yɛ akokɔsrade fa sikakɔkɔɔ dorobɛn abien no mu no yɛ dɛn?”
13 And he answered me and said, Do thou not know what these are? And I said, No, my lord.
Obuae se, “Enti wunnim nea eyinom yɛ ana?” Mibuae se, “Dabi, me wura.”
14 Then he said, These are the two anointed ones, who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
Nti ɔkae se, “Eyinom ne baanu a wɔasra wɔn ngo sɛ wɔnsom Awurade a odi wiase nyinaa so no.”
