Zechariah 4
1 The angel who talked with me came again, and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũraika ũrĩa twaranagĩria nake akĩhũndũka, akĩnjarahũra, ta ũrĩa mũndũ aarahũragwo kuuma toro.
2 He said to me, "What do you see?" I said, "I have seen, and look, a lampstand all of gold, with its bowl on the top of it, and its seven lamps thereon; there are seven pipes to each of the lamps, which are on the top of it;
Nake akĩnjũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ ũroona?” Na niĩ ngĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndĩrona mũtĩ wa thahabu theri wa kũigĩrĩrwo tawa, ũrĩ na mbakũri igũrũ rĩaguo, na ũigĩrĩirwo matawa mũgwanja na mĩberethi mũgwanja ya gũtwara maguta matawa-inĩ macio.
3 and two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on the left side of it."
Ningĩ harĩ na mĩtĩ ĩĩrĩ ya mĩtamaiyũ ĩriganĩtie naguo, ũmwe ũrĩ mwena wa ũrĩo wa mbakũri, na ũrĩa ũngĩ mwena wayo wa ũmotho.”
4 I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, "What are these, my lord?"
Ngĩũria mũraika ũrĩa twaranagĩria atĩrĩ, “Mwathi wakwa, ici nacio nĩ ndũũ?”
5 Then the angel who talked with me answered me, "Do you not know what these are?" I said, "No, my lord."
Nake akĩnjũũria atĩrĩ, “Wee-rĩ, ndũũĩ ici nĩ ndũũ?” Na niĩ ngĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Aca, Mwathi wakwa, ndiũĩ.”
6 Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel, saying, 'Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD of hosts.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova kũrĩ Zerubabeli, nayo ĩkuuga ũũ: ‘Ti ũndũ wa hinya kana wa ũhoti, no nĩ ũndũ wa Roho wakwa,’ ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.
7 Who are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you are a plain; and he will bring out the capstone with shouts of 'Grace, grace, to it.'"
“Wee kĩrĩma gĩkĩ kĩnene-rĩ, ũkĩrĩ ũ? Ũgaatuĩka kũndũ kwaraganu mbere ya Zerubabeli. Ningĩ nĩwe ũkaarehe ihiga rĩa kũrĩĩkia mwako o gũkĩanagĩrĩrwo atĩrĩ, ‘Ngai rĩrathime! Ngai rĩrathime!’”
8 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Ningĩ ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova ĩkĩnginyĩrĩra ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
9 "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands shall also finish it; and you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you.
“Moko ma Zerubabeli nĩmo maakĩte mũthingi wa hekarũ ĩno, na moko make no mo makaamĩrĩkia. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkamenya atĩ Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩwe ũndũmĩte kũrĩ inyuĩ.
10 Indeed, who despises the day of small things? For these seven shall rejoice, and shall see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. These are the eyes of the LORD, which run back and forth through the whole earth."
“Nũũ ũmenaga mũthenya wa kĩambĩrĩria kĩa maũndũ manini? Andũ nĩmagakena moona kabirũ karĩ guoko-inĩ gwa Zerubabeli. (Maya nĩmo maitho mũgwanja ma Jehova, marĩa moonaga thĩ yothe.)”
11 Then I asked him, "What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lampstand and on the left side of it?"
Ningĩ ngĩũria mũraika ũcio atĩrĩ, “Mĩtamaiyũ ĩno ĩĩrĩ ĩrĩ mwena wa ũrĩo na wa ũmotho wa mũtĩ wa kũigĩrĩra tawa nĩ mĩtũũ?”
12 I asked him the second time, "What are these two olive branches, which are beside the two golden spouts, that pour the golden oil out of themselves?"
Ningĩ ngĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Honge ici igĩrĩ cia mĩtamaiyũ irũgamanĩte na mĩberethi ĩno ya thahabu iraita maguta mahaana ta thahabu nĩ ndũũ?”
13 He answered me, "Do you not know what these are?" I said, "No, my lord."
Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Wee-rĩ, ndũũĩ ici nĩ ndũũ?” Na niĩ ngiuga atĩrĩ, “Aca, Mwathi wakwa, ndiũĩ.”
14 Then he said, "These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth."
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Aya eerĩ nĩo maitĩrĩirio maguta nĩguo matungatage Mwathani wa thĩ yothe.”
