< 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.
Zanj ki t'ap pale ak mwen an vini ankò. Li souke m' tankou yo souke yon moun k'ap dòmi pou fè l' leve.
2 And said unto me, What see you? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:
Li di m' konsa: -Sa ou wè la a? Mwen reponn li: -Mwen wè yon lanp sèt branch an lò ki kanpe atè. Li gen yon gwo bòl nan tèt li, avèk sèt lanp sou rebò bòl la. Chak lanp gen sèt bòbèch pou sèt mèch.
3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.
Bò lanp sèt branch lan te gen de pye oliv, yonn sou bò dwat, yonn sou bò gòch.
4 So I answered and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
Apre sa, mwen pran lapawòl, mwen mande zanj ki t'ap pale avè m' lan: -Mèt, kisa bagay sa yo ye?
5 Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Know you not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
Li reponn mwen: -Ou pa konn sa sa yo ye? Mwen reponn li: -Non, mèt! M' pa konnen non!
6 Then he answered and spoke unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, says the LORD of hosts.
Lè sa a, zanj ki t'ap pale avè m' lan reponn mwen, li di m': -Men mesaj Seyè a voye pou Zowobabèl: Se pa avèk vanyan sòlda ou yo, ni avèk pwòp kouraj ou ou pral rive nan sa ou gen pou fè a. Men se va avèk pouvwa lespri pa m' m'ap ba ou a. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a menm ki di sa.
7 Who are you, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
Pi gwo antrav yo pral disparèt devan ou, Zowobabèl! Pi gwo mòn lan ap tounen yon plenn. Ou gen pou ou pran yon bèl wòch ladan l' pou fè lento pòtay tanp lan. Lè sa a tout moun va rele: Ala bèl sa bèl! Mèsi pou li!
8 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m':
9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me unto you.
-Zowobabèl mete men nan fondasyon kay la. Li gen pou l' fini l'. Lè sa a, pèp mwen an va konnen se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki te voye ou bò kote yo.
10 For who has despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run back and forth through the whole earth.
Yo te pran ti konmansman sa yo pou anyen. Men, ala kontan y'a kontan lè y'a wè Zowobabèl ap kontwole travay la, filaplon li nan men l'! Zanj lan di m' ankò: -Lanp sèt branch ou wè la a se sèt je Seyè a ki wè tou sa k'ap pase sou latè.
11 Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?
Mwen mande l': -De pye oliv ki chak bò lanp sèt branch lan, yonn sou bò dwat, yonn sou bò gòch, kisa yo ye?
12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
De branch oliv sou kote de ti tiyo an lò kote lwil ap koule a, kisa yo vle di?
13 And he answered me and said, Know you not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
Li reponn mwen. -Ou pa konnen sa yo vle di? Mwen di l': -Non, mèt. M' pa konnen non!
14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the LORD of the whole earth.
Li di m' konsa: -Se de moun Bondye chwazi pou fè travay Seyè a, Mèt latè a.
