Zechariah 4
1 Then the angel who had been talking with me returned, and he called to me as though I had been asleep.
HOI hou mai la ka anela i kamailio me au, a hoala mai la ia'u, e like me ka hoala ana i ke kanaka hiamoe.
2 He asked me, “What do you see?” I replied, “I see a lampstand [made] completely of gold. There is a small bowl [for olive oil] at the top, and there are seven [small] lamps around the bowl, and a place for a wick on each lamp.
Ninau mai la ia ia'u, Heaha kau mea e ike nei? I aku la au, Ua nana aku au, aia hoi, he ipukukui gula okoa, a maluna o kona welau he ipu aila, a maluna iho olaila na kukui ehiku a me na ohe ehiku no ua mau kukui ehiku la o kau ana maluna o kona welau.
3 Furthermore, I see two olive trees, one at the right side of the lampstand and one at the left side.”
He elua mau laau oliva hoi e kokoke ana ilaila, o kekahi ma ka akau, a o kekahi hoi ma ka hema o ua ipu aila la.
4 I asked the angel who was talking with me, “Sir, what are these?”
Ninau aku la hoi au i ka anela i kamailio me au, i aku la, Heaha ke ano o keia mau mea, e kuu haku?
5 He replied, “Surely you know [RHQ] what they are?” I replied, “No, I do not know.”
I mai la ka anela i kamailio me au Aole anei oe i ike i ke ano o keia mau mea? I aku la au, Aole, e kuu haku.
6 Then he said to me, “This is the message that Yahweh [says that you should give] to Zerubbabel [the governor of Judah: ‘You will do what I want you to do, but it will] not be by your own strength or power. It will be [done] by [the power of] my Spirit, says the Commander of the armies of angels.
Alaila olelo mai la kela, i mai la ia'u penei, O keia ka olelo a Iehova ia Zerubabela, i ka i ana, Aole ma ka mana, aole ma ka ikaika, aka, ma kuu Uhane, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
7 Zerubbabel, you [have many difficult matters to handle. They are like] high mountains [MET]. But they will [become easy to handle, as though] they will become flat land. And you will bring [to the temple] the final stone [to complete the rebuilding of the temple]. When you do that, [all the people] will shout repeatedly, “It is beautiful! May God bless it!”’”
Heaha oe, e ka mauna nui? imua o Zerubabela, he papu: a e lawe mai auanei oia i ka pohaku kumu, me ka hookani olioli ana, He aloha! he aloha ia ia!
8 Then Yahweh gave me [another] message.
A hiki hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova io'u nei, i ka i ana,
9 He said [to me], “Zerubbabel [SYN] laid the first stone in the foundation of the temple, and he will put the last stone in its place. When that happens, the people will know that [it is I, the Commander of the armies of angels, who] have sent you to them.” And he said, “The seven bowls represent the eyes of Yahweh, who looks back and forth at everything [that happens] on the earth.”
Ua hookumu iho la na lima o Zerubabela i keia hale, a na kona mau lima hoi e hoopaa; a e ike auanei oe, na Iehova o na kaua wau i hoouna mai io oukou la.
10 No one [RHQ] should think that little things that are done at the beginning of a big project are unimportant. [When the temple is almost finished being rebuilt, ] Zerubbabel will use a (plumb line/string with a stone fastened to it) [to see if the walls they are building are straight]; so when the people see that, they will rejoice.”
Nawai la i hoowahawaha i ka la o na mea liilii? E olioli auanei lakou, a e ike hoi i ka pohaku kepau ma ka lima o Zerubabela, o lakou a ehiku. O lakou na maka o Iehova e hele ae ana mai o a ianei ma ka honua a pau.
11 Then I asked the angel, “What is [the meaning of] the two olive trees, one on each side of the lampstand?
Alaila, ninau aku la au, i aku la ia ia, Heaha ke ano o kela mau oliva elua ma ka lima akau o ka ipukukui, a ma ka lima hema ona?
12 And what [the meaning of] the two olive branches, one alongside each of the gold pipes from which [olive] oil flows to the lamps?”
Ninau hou aku la au, i aku la ia ia, Heaha kela mau lala oliva elua e pili ana me na ohe gula, e hookahe ana i ka aila gula mailoko mai o laua?
13 He replied, “Surely [RHQ] you know what they are?” I replied, “No, sir, [I do not know.]”
Ninau mai la kela ia'u, i mai la, Aole oe i ike i keia mau mea? I aku la au, Aole, e ka haku.
14 So he said, “They represent the two [men who have been] appointed [MTY] to serve the Lord who [rules] the entire earth.”
Alaila i mai la kela, O keia no na kanaka elua i poniia i ka aila e ku kokoke ana ma ka Haku o ka honua a pau.
