< Zechariah 4 >

1 And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep,
Anjelu oyo azalaki kosolola na ngai azongaki mpe alamusaki ngai ndenge balamusaka moto oyo alali pongi.
2 And said to me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick: all [of] gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which [were] upon the top of it.
Atunaki ngai: — Ozali komona nini? Nazongiselaki ye: — Nazali komona etelemiselo moko ya mwinda, basala na wolo mpe, na likolo na yango, ezali na kopo moko, minda sambo mpe batio sambo oyo elekisaka mafuta kino na minda.
3 And two olive-trees by it, one upon the right [side] of the bowl, and the other upon the left [side].
Ezali lisusu na banzete mibale ya olive pene ya etelemiselo ya minda: moko na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali, mpe mosusu na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi.
4 So I answered and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What [are] these, my lord?
Natunaki Anjelu oyo azalaki kosolola na ngai: — Nyonso oyo elakisi nini, nkolo na ngai?
5 Then the angel that talked with me answered and said to me, Knowest thou not what these are? and I said, No, my lord.
Azongiselaki ngai: — Boni, oyebi te soki elingi kolakisa nini? Nazongiselaki ye: — Te, nkolo na ngai!
6 Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, This [is] the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
Alobaki na ngai: — Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi na Zorobabeli: « Ezali na makasi to na nguya na yo te, kasi na nguya na Ngai, » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
7 Who [art] thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel [thou shalt become] a plain: and he shall bring forth [its] head-stone [with] shoutings, [crying], Grace, grace, to it.
Ozali nani, ngomba monene? Okokoma etando liboso ya Zorobabeli. Akobimisa libanga monene kati na yo, wana bato bakozala koganga na esengo: « Tika ete Nzambe apambola yango! Tika ete Nzambe apambola yango! »
8 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Bongo Yawe alobaki na ngai:
9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me to you.
— Ezali maboko ya Zorobabeli nde etongaki miboko ya Tempelo oyo; ezali mpe kaka maboko yango nde ekosilisa mosala ya kotonga yango. Boye bokoyeba solo ete Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, nde atindaki ngai epai na bino.
10 For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel [with] those seven; they [are] the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
Nani atiolaki makambo mike ya ebandeli? Bato bakotonda na esengo tango bakomona, na maboko ya Zorobabeli, singa oyo bamekelaka molayi. Biloko wana sambo ezali nde miso ya Yawe oyo etalaka mokili mobimba.
11 Then I answered, and said to him, What [are] these two olive-trees upon the right [side] of the candlestick and upon its left [side]?
Natunaki Anjelu: — Banzete mibale ya olive oyo ezali na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali mpe ya mwasi ya etelemiselo ya minda elakisi nini?
12 And I answered again, and said to him, What [are these] two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden [oil] out of themselves?
Natunaki ye lisusu: — Bitape mibale ya nzete ya olive, oyo ezali pembeni ya batio mibale ya wolo oyo ebimisaka mafuta oyo engalaka elakisi nini?
13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these [are]? And I said, No, my lord.
Azongiselaki ngai: — Boni, oyebi te soki elakisi nini? Nazongisaki: — Te, nkolo na ngai.
14 Then said he, These [are] the two anointed ones, that stand by the LORD of the whole earth.
Boye, alobaki: — Ezali nde bato mibale oyo bapakolami mafuta mpo na kosalela Nkolo ya mokili mobimba.
