Zechariah 4
1 Then the angel who was talking with me turned and roused me like a man roused from his sleep.
Ergasii ergamaan Waaqayyoo kan natti dubbachaa ture sun deebiʼee akkuma nama hirribaa dammaqfamuutti na dammaqse.
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.
Innis, “Ati maal argita?” jedhee na gaafate. Anis akkana jedheen deebise; “Ani baattuu ibsaa kan guutumaan guututti warqee taʼe cuggeen tokkos isa irra dhaabamee, ibsaawwan torba of irraa qabu kan ibsaawwan sanaaf ujummoowwan torba qabu tokko nan arga.
3 Two olive trees are by it, one on the right side of the bowl and the other on the left side.”
Akkasumas mukkeen ejersaa lama, tokko karaa mirga cuggeetiin, kaan immoo karaa bitaa cuggeetiin jira.”
4 So I spoke again to the angel who was talking with me. I said, “What do these things mean, my master?”
Anis, “Yaa gooftaa wanni kun maali?” jedheen ergamaa Waaqayyoo kan natti dubbachaa ture sana gaafadhe.
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.”
Inni immoo, “Ati isaan maal akka taʼan hin beektuu?” jedhee naaf deebise. Anis, “Yaa gooftaa ko, ani hin beeku” jedheen deebise.
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.
Kanaafuu inni akkana naan jedhe; “Kun dubbii Waaqayyoo kan Zarubaabeliif kennamee dha: ‘Hafuura kootiin malee jabinaan yookaan humnaan miti’ jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.
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!'”
“Yaa tulluu guddaa ati maali? Ati fuula Zarubaabel duratti lafa diriiraa taata. Innis, ‘Surraan, surraan isaaf haa taʼu!’ jedhanii iyyaa inni dhagaa xumuraa baasa.”
8 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
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.
“Harki Zarubaabel hundee mana qulqullummaa kanaa buuseera; harkuma isaatu ijaaree fixa. Ergasii isin akka Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu isinitti na erge ni beektu.
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.)
“Eenyutu guyyicha waan xinnoo tuffata? Namoonni gaafa harka Zarubaabel keessatti tunbii arganitti ni ililchu. Wantoonni torban kunneen ijawwan Waaqayyoo kanneen lafa hunda irra nanaannaʼanii ilaalanii dha.”
11 Then I asked the angel, “What are these two olive trees that stand on the left and the right of the lampstand?”
Anis, “Mukkeen ejersaa lamaan karaa mirgaa fi bitaa baattuu ibsaa jiran kunneen maali?” jedheen ergamaa Waaqayyoo sana gaafadhe.
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?”
Ammas ani, “Dameen muka ejersaa lamaan ujummoo warqee lamaan biraa kanneen zayitii warqee gad dhangalaasan kunneen maali!” jedheen isa gaafadhe.
13 Then he said to me, “Do you not know what these are?” I said, “No, my master.”
Innis, “Isaan maal akka taʼan ati hin beektuu?” naan jedhe. Anis, “Yaa gooftaa ko, ani hin beeku” nan jedheen.
14 So he said, “These are the sons of fresh olive oil who stand before the Lord of all the earth.”
Kanaafuu inni, “Isaan kunneen warra lamaan akka Gooftaa lafa hundaa tajaajilaniif dibamanii dha” jedhe.
