< Zechariah 4 >

1 And once more the messenger who was speaking with me, roused me up, just as a man might be roused up out of his sleep.
Kai hoi ka pato roi e kalvantami ni bout a tho teh ka ip e pâhlaw e patetlah kai hah na pâhlaw.
2 Then said he unto me, What canst thou see? And I said—I have looked, and lo! a Lampstand—all of gold, with the Bowl thereof upon the top thereof, and its Seven Lamps upon it, Seven Pipes each, to the lamps which are upon the top thereof;
Nang bangmaw na hmu telah na pacei navah kai ni ka khet nah sui hoi sak e hmaiimkhok ka hmu. Sui hmaiimkhok e asawi vah satui hlaam buet touh, hmaiim sari touh, satui hlaam hoi hmaiim sari touh patawp e khom sari touh ao.
3 and, Two Olive-trees, by it, —one upon the right hand of the bowl, and one upon the left hand thereof.
Satui hlaam e aranglah olivekung buet touh, avoilah olivekung buet touh, hmai khawm ka ramuk e olivekung kahni touh ao.
4 Then responded I, and said unto the messenger who was speaking with me, saying, —What are these, my lord?
Kai hoi ka pato roi e kalvantami hanelah ka bawipa hete hnonaw heh bangnaw ne telah ka pacei nah,
5 Then answered the messenger who was speaking with me, and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these, are? And I said, No my lord.
Kai hoi ka pato roi e kalvantami ni, hete hnonaw heh bangnaw maw tie na panuek hoeh maw telah na pacei navah, kai ni ka panuek hoeh ka bawipa telah ka ti pouh.
6 Then responded he, and spake unto me, saying, This, is the word of Yahweh, unto Zerubbabel, saying, —Not by wealth, nor by strength, but by my spirit, saith Yahweh of hosts.
Kalvantami ni hai Zerubbabel koe ka tho e Cathut e lawk teh, hete hno teh ransahu lahoi nahoeh, hnosakthainae lahoi hai nahoeh, kaie Muitha lahoi doeh tho ti telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a ti.
7 Who, art, thou, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel, [brought down] to a plain! So shall he bring forth the headstone, with thundering shouts Beautiful! Beautiful! thereunto.
Oe, monpui, nang teh bangtelamaw, Zerubbabel e a hmalah kânging e hmuen lah na o han. Taminaw ni na lungma a naseh. Lungmanae awm naseh telah a hram teh, hote bawi ni im takin a som vah talung a pacoung han.
8 Then came the word of Yahweh unto me, saying:
BAWIPA e lawk kai koe bout ka tho e teh,
9 The hands of Zerubbabel, have founded this house, and, his hands, shall finish it, —So shalt thou know that, Yahweh of hosts, hath sent me unto you.
Zerubbabel ni hete impui e khomdu a ung toe. Ahni niyah a cum han. ransahu BAWIPA ni kai heh nangmouh onae koe na patoun e hah na panue awh han.
10 For who hath despised the day of small things? Yet shall they rejoice, when they see the plummet-stone in the hand of Zerubbabel, —these seven! The eyes of Yahweh, they are—running to and fro throughout all the earth.
Hno kathoengca saknae hnin heh apinimaw noutna laipalah ao han. Zerubbabel e a kut dawk bangnuenae rui ao e hah, hote sari touh ni a hmu awh torei teh, a lunghawi awh han. Hote sari touh teh talai van atunglah akalah ka yawng e BAWIPA e a mit naw doeh telah a ti.
11 Then responded I, and said unto him, —What are these two olive-trees, upon the right of the lampstand, and upon the left thereof?
Kai ni hai hmaiimkhok kahni touh e avoilah aranglah kaawm e olivekung kahni touh hah bangtelamaw telah thoseh,
12 And I responded a second time, and said unto him, —What are the two branches of the olive- trees which join the two golden tubes, which empty out of them the golden oil?
Satui racinae sui tuilo kahni touh hoi amamae satui awinae olivekung kahni touh haiyah bangne telah ka pacei navah,
13 And he spake unto me, saying, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, No, my lord.
Kalvantami ni hote akangnaw na panuek awh hoeh na maw telah na pacei nah kai ni ka panuek hoeh telah ka ti pouh.
14 Then said he, These, are the two Anointed Ones, —who stand near the Lord of all the earth.
Kalvantami ni hai hote akungnaw teh talai kaukkung bawi e a hmalah kangdout e satui awi e tami kahni touh doeh a ti.
