< Zechariah 4 >

1 The angel who talked with me came again, and wakened me, as a man who 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 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;
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 on the right side of the bowl, and the other on the left side of it."
Bò lanp sèt branch lan te gen de pye oliv, yonn sou bò dwat, yonn sou bò gòch.
4 I answered and spoke to the angel who 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 who talked with me answered me, "Do you not know what these are?" 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 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.
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, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you are a plain; and he will bring out the capstone with shouts of 'Grace, grace, to 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 to 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 will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to 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 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."
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 I asked him, "What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lampstand and on the left side of it?"
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 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?"
De branch oliv sou kote de ti tiyo an lò kote lwil ap koule a, kisa yo vle di?
13 He answered me, "Do you not know what these are?" 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 he said, "These are the two anointed ones who 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.
