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,
Afei ɔbɔfo a ɔne me kasae no san nʼakyi benyan me, sɛnea wonyan obi fi ne nna mu no.
2 And said unto me, What seest thou? 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:
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] thereof.
Bio, ngonnua abien sisi ho, baako wɔ kuruwa no nifa so, na baako nso wɔ ne benkum so.”
4 So I answered and spake to the angel that 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 angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
Obuae se, “Wunnim nea eyinom yɛ ana?” Mekae se, “Dabi, me wura.”
6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This [is] the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD 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 [art] thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel [thou shalt become] a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone [thereof with] shoutings, [crying], Grace, grace unto 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 the LORD came unto 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 shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto 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 hath 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 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 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?
Na mibisaa ɔbɔfo no se, “Saa ngonnua abien no a esisi kaneadua no nifa ne benkum no yɛ dɛn?”
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?
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, Knowest thou not what these [be]? And I said, No, my lord.
Obuae se, “Enti wunnim nea eyinom yɛ ana?” Mibuae se, “Dabi, me wura.”
14 Then said he, These [are] the two anointed ones, that 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.”
