< Zechariah 4 >

1 Then the angel who had been talking with me returned, and he called to me as though I had been asleep.
त्यसपछि मसँग कुरा गरिरहेका स्वर्गदूत फर्के र मलाई निन्द्राबाट जगाइएको मानिसझैँ जगाए ।
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.
तिनले मलाई भने, “तिमीले के देख्दैछौ?” मैले भनें, “मैले पूर्ण रूपमा सुनले बनेको एउटा सामदान देख्दैछु, र त्यसको टुप्पोमा एउटा बटुको रहेको छ । त्यसमा सातओटा बत्ती छन् र हरेक बत्तीको टुप्पोमा सातओटा नली छन् ।
3 Furthermore, I see two olive trees, one at the right side of the lampstand and one at the left side.”
बटुकोको दाहिनेपट्टि एउटा जैतूनको रूख र देब्रेपट्टि अर्को जैतूनको रूख रहेका छन् ।”
4 I asked the angel who was talking with me, “Sir, what are these?”
अनि मसँग कुरा गरिरहेका स्वर्गदूतसँग मैले फेरि भनें, “मेरा मालिक, यी कुराहरूको अर्थ के हो?”
5 He replied, “Surely you know [RHQ] what they are?” I replied, “No, I do not know.”
मसँग कुरा गरिरहेका स्वर्गदूतले मलाई जवाफ दिए, “के तिमीलाई यी कुराहरूको अर्थ थाहा छ?” मैले भनें, “अँहँ, मेरा मालिक ।”
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.
यसैले तिनले मलाई भने, “यो यरुबाबेलको निम्ति परमप्रभुको वचन हो: न त बलले, न शक्तिले, तर मेरो आत्माले, सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ ।
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!”’”
महान् पर्वत, तँ के होस्? यरुबाबेलको अगि तँ समतल जमिन हुनेछस्, र उहाँले टुप्पोको ढुङ्गोलाई ‘अनुग्रह! त्यसलाई अनुग्रह’ भन्‍ने सोरहरूको बिचमा ल्याउनुहुनेछ ।”
8 Then Yahweh gave me [another] message.
परमप्रभुको यस्तो वचन मकहाँ आयो,
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.”
“यरुबाबेलका हातले यस भवनको जग बसाल्यो, र त्यसकै हातले यो पूर्ण गर्नेछ ।” अनि सेनाहरूका परमप्रभुले मलाई पठाउनुभएको हो भन्‍ने कुरा तिमीहरूले थाहा गर्नेछौ ।
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.”
साना कुराहरूका दिनलाई कसले तुच्छ ठानेको छ? यी मानिसहरूले रमाहट गर्नेछन् र यरुबाबेलको हातमा तिनीहरूले साहुल देख्‍नेछन् । (यी सात बत्तीहरू परमप्रभुका आँखा हुन् जुन सारा पृथ्वीभरि घुमिरहन्छन् ।)
11 Then I asked the angel, “What is [the meaning of] the two olive trees, one on each side of the lampstand?
त्यसपछि मैले स्वर्गदूतलाई सोधें, “सामदानको दाहिने र देब्रेपट्टि रहेका जैतूनका यी दुइ रूखहरू के हुन्?”
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?”
मैले फेरि तिनलाई सोधें, “सुनको तेल बगरहने यी दुइ सुनका नलीहरूका छेउमा भएका जैतूनका यी दुइ हाँगाहरू के हुन्?”
13 He replied, “Surely [RHQ] you know what they are?” I replied, “No, sir, [I do not know.]”
अनि तिनले मलाई भने, “के तिमीलाई यी कुराहरू के हुन् भन्‍ने थाहा छ?” मैले भनें, “अँहँ, मेरा मालिक ।”
14 So he said, “They represent the two [men who have been] appointed [MTY] to serve the Lord who [rules] the entire earth.”
अनि तिनले भने, “यी दुइ नयाँ जैतूनकोतेलका छोराहरू हुन् जो सारा पृथ्वीका परमप्रभुको अगि खडा हुन्छन् ।”
