Zechariah 4
1 And the angel who had been speaking with me returned, and he awakened me, like a man who is awakened from his sleep.
Afei, ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔne me kasaeɛ no sanee nʼakyi bɛnyanee me, sɛdeɛ wɔnyane obi firi ne nna mu no.
2 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.
Ɔbisaa me sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na wohunu yi?” Mebuaa sɛ, “Mehunu kaneadua a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ayɛ a kuruwa si so, na nkanea nson a ebiara wɔ ne dorobɛn sisi so.
3 And there were two olive trees upon it: one to the right of the lamp, and one to its left.”
Bio, ngo nnua mmienu sisi ho, baako wɔ kuruwa no nifa so, ɛna baako nso wɔ ne benkum so.”
4 And I answered and spoke to the angel who was speaking with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?”
Mebisaa ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔne me kasaeɛ no sɛ, “Yeinom yɛ ɛdeɛn, me wura?”
5 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.”
Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Wonnim deɛ yeinom yɛ anaa?” Mekaa sɛ, “Dabi, me wura.”
6 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.
Enti ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Yei ne Awurade asɛm a ɔde rekɔma Serubabel: ‘Ɛnyɛ tumi so, na ɛnyɛ ahoɔden nso so, na mmom, ɛnam me Honhom so,’ sɛdeɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie.
7 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.
“Woyɛ ɛdeɛn, Ao bepɔ kɛseɛ? Wobɛyɛ asase tamaa wɔ Serubabel anim. Afei ɔde aboɔ fɛfɛ no bɛba abɛhyia osebɔ sɛ, ‘Onyankopɔn nhyira so! Onyankopɔn nhyira so!’”
8 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Na Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
9 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.
“Ɛnam Serubabel nsa so na wɔtoo asɔredan yi fapem, na ɛnam ne nsa so na wɔbɛwie. Na mobɛhunu sɛ, Asafo Awurade na wasoma me mo nkyɛn.
10 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.
“Hwan na ɔbu nneɛma nketenkete mfiaseɛ ɛda animtiaa? Sɛ nnipa hunu sɛ Serubabel kura kyirebenn susu ahoma no a, wɔn ani bɛgye. “(Saa ani nson yi yɛ Awurade ani a ɛhwɛ ewiase afanan nyinaa.)”
11 And I responded and said to him, “What are these two olive trees to the right of the candlestick, and to its left?”
Na mebisaa ɔbɔfoɔ no sɛ, “Saa ngo nnua mmienu no a ɛsisi kanea dua no nifa ne benkum no yɛ ɛdeɛn?”
12 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?”
Na mebisaa no bio sɛ, “Ngodua mman mmienu a ɛhwie ngo a ani yɛ akokɔsradeɛ fa sikakɔkɔɔ dorobɛn mmienu no mu no yɛ ɛdeɛn?”
13 And he spoke to me, saying, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.”
Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Enti wonnim deɛ yeinom yɛ anaa?” Mebuaa sɛ, “Dabi, me wura.”
14 And he said, “These are the two sons of oil, who attend before the Sovereign of all the earth.”
Nti ɔkaa sɛ, “Yeinom ne mmienu a wɔasra wɔn ngo sɛ wɔnsom Awurade a ɔdi ewiase nyinaa so.”
