< Zechariah 4 >

1 And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.
Te phoeiah kai taengah aka cal puencawn ha mael tih a ih lamloh aka haenghang hlang bangla kai n'haeng.
2 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;
Te vaengah kai te, “Balae na hmuh,” a ti. Te dongah ka voek tih, “Ka sawt vaengah, a pum la sui hmaitung neh a soi ah tuidueh om. A hmaithoi parhih te a soah parhih la om. A soi kah hmaithoi te tuicawn parhih om.
3 and two olive-trees beside it, one on the right of the bowl, and the other on the left of it.
A taengkah olive rhoi khaw tuidueh kah bantang ah pakhat a banvoei ah pakhat pai ke,” ka ti nah.
4 And I answered and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
Te phoeiah kai taengah aka cal puencawn te ka doo tih, “Ka boeipa he balae a thui,” ka ti nah.
5 And the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, No, my lord.
Kai taengah aka cal puencawn lohkai te n'doo tih, “He he balae ti na ming moenih a?” a ti tih, “Ka boeipa ka ming pawh,” ka ti nah.
6 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.
Te dongah kai te, “BOEIPA ol loh he ni a thui. Zerubbabel te, 'Tatthai nen moenih, thadueng nen moenih, ka Mueihla nen ni tila caempuei BOEIPA loh a thui,’ ti nah.
7 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!
Tlang len nang te unim? Zerubbabel mikhmuh ah tlangkol la om ni. Te vaengah mikdaithen, mikdaithen tila pang ol neh lumuek lung te a khuen ni.
8 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Te phoeiah ah BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pai tih,
9 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.
“He im he Zerubbabel kut loh a suen tih amah kut long ni a coeng eh. Te vaengah caempuei BOEIPA loh nangmih taengah kai n'tueih te na ming ni.
10 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.
A phoeng hnin te unim aka hnoelrhoeng? Zerubbabel kut dongkah samphae lung te a hmuh vaengah a kohoe uh ni. BOEIPA mik he diklai pum ah parhih la van thikthuek,” a ti.
11 And I answered and said unto him, What are these two olive-trees on the right of the lamp-stand and on its left?
Te phoeiah anih te ka doo tih, “Hmaitung banvoei neh bantang kah olive rhoi he balae?” ka ti nah.
12 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?
Te phoeiah a pabae la ka doo tih anih te, “A so lamloh sui a loei sui paitop rhoi khaep kah olive mo rhoi ta balae?” ka ti nah.
13 And he spoke to me, saying, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, No, my lord.
Te vaengah kai te han thui tih, “He he balae ti khaw na ming moenih a?” a ti tih, “Ka boeipa ka ming moenih,” ka ti nah.
14 And he said, These are the two sons of oil, that stand before the Lord of the whole earth.
Te daengah, “He tah diklai pum kah boei taengah aka pai situi capa rhoi ni,” a ti.
