Zechariah 4
1 Then the angel who was talking with me turned and roused me like a man roused from his sleep.
Awo malayika eyali ayogera nange n’akomawo, n’anzuukusa ng’omuntu bw’azuukusibwa mu tulo.
2 He said to me, “What do you see?” I said, “I see a lampstand made entirely of gold, with a bowl on its top. It has seven lamps on it and seven lamp wicks at the top of each lamp.
N’ambuuza nti, “Kiki ky’olaba?” Ne muddamu nti, “Ndaba ekikondo ky’ettaala nga kyonna kya zaabu, nga waggulu kiriko n’akabakuli kaakwo, n’ettaala zaakwo omusanvu, nga buli ttaala eriko omumwa gwayo.
3 Two olive trees are by it, one on the right side of the bowl and the other on the left side.”
Era waliwo emiti emizeeyituuni ebiri ku mabbali gaakyo, ogumu ku mukono ogwa ddyo ogw’akabakuli, n’omulala ku mukono ogwa kkono.”
4 So I spoke again to the angel who was talking with me. I said, “What do these things mean, my master?”
Ne mbuuza malayika eyali ayogera nange nti, “Bino biki mukama wange?”
5 The angel who was talking with me answered and said to me, “Do you not know what these things mean?” I said, “No, my master.”
Malayika eyali ayogera nange n’addamu n’aŋŋamba nti, “Tobimanyi?” Ne muddamu nti, “Nedda mukama wange.”
6 So he said to me, “This is the word of Yahweh to Zerubbabel: Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit, says Yahweh of hosts.
Awo n’addamu n’aŋŋamba nti, “Kino kye kigambo kya Mukama eri Zerubbaberi: ‘Si lwa maanyi so si lwa buyinza naye lwa Mwoyo wange,’ bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye.
7 What are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain, and he will bring out the top stone to shouts of 'Grace! Grace to it!'”
“Ggwe olusozi olunene weyita ki? Mu maaso ga Zerubbaberi olibeera lusenyi, era alireeta ejjinja erya waggulu mu mizira n’okwogerera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka ng’agamba nti, ‘Liweebwe omukisa, liweebwe omukisa!’”
8 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira nga kyogera nti,
9 “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house and his hands will bring it to completion.” Then you will know that Yahweh of hosts has sent me to you.
“Emikono gya Zerubbaberi gitaddewo omusingi gwa yeekaalu eno era girigumaliriza, era olitegeera nti Mukama ow’Eggye ye yantuma gye muli.
10 Who has despised the day of small things? These people will rejoice and will see the plumb stone in the hand of Zerubbabel. (These seven lamps are the eyes of Yahweh that roam over the whole earth.)
“Ani anyooma olunaku olw’ebintu ebitono? Abantu balijaguza, bwe baliraba ejjinja erigera mu mukono gwa Zerubbaberi. Gano omusanvu ge maaso ga Katonda agayitaayita mu nsi yonna.”
11 Then I asked the angel, “What are these two olive trees that stand on the left and the right of the lampstand?”
Ne ndyoka mubuuza nti, “Emizeeyituuni gino ebiri ku mukono ogwa ddyo ne ku gwa kkono ogw’ekikondo ky’ettabaaza, gitegeeza ki?”
12 Once more I asked him, “What are these two olive branches beside the two gold pipes that have golden oil pouring out of them?”
Ne nnyongera okumubuuza nti, “Gano amatabi abiri ag’emizeeyituuni agaliraanye emidumu gya zaabu ge gayitamu amafuta aga zaabu?”
13 Then he said to me, “Do you not know what these are?” I said, “No, my master.”
N’anziramu nti, “Tobimanyi?” Ne njogera nti, “Nedda, mukama wange.”
14 So he said, “These are the sons of fresh olive oil who stand before the Lord of all the earth.”
Awo n’addamu nti, “Abo be babiri abaafukibwako amafuta abaweereza Mukama ow’ensi yonna.”
