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,
Na ka hoki mai te anahera i korero ra ki ahau, ka whakaarahia ahau, ko toku rite kei te tangata e whakaarahia ana i te moe.
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.
Na ka mea ia ki ahau, Ko te aha e kitea ana e koe? Ano ra ko ahau, Kua kite ahau, na, ko tetahi turanga rama, he koura katoa, me tona peihana i tona pito ki runga, ko ona rama e whitu ki runga o tera; e whitu nga korere o te rama kotahi i tona pi to ki runga;
3 And two olive-trees by it, one upon the right [side] of the bowl, and the other upon the left [side].
Na e rua nga oriwa i tona taha, ko tetahi i te taha ki matau o te peihana, ko tetahi i tona taha maui.
4 So I answered and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What [are] these, my lord?
Na ka oho atu ahau, ka mea ki te anahera i korero ki ahau, ka ki atu, He aha enei, e toku ariki?
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.
Katahi te anahera i korero ra ki ahau ka oho, ka mea ki ahau, Kahore ranei koe e mohio he aha enei? Ano ra ko ahau, Kahore, e toku ariki.
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.
Na ka oho mai ia, ka korero ki ahau, ka mea, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa ki a Herupapera, e ki ana: Ehara i te mea ma te uaua, ma te kaha, engari ma toku wairua, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.
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.
Ko wai koe, e te maunga nui? i te aroaro o Herupapera hei papatairite koe: a ka whakaputaina mai e ia te kohatu o runga rawa, me te pa ano nga karanga, He pai, he pai mona.
8 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
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.
Na nga ringa o Herupapera i whakatakoto te turanga mo tenei whare, ma ona ringa ano e whakaoti; a ka mohio koe na Ihowa o nga mano ahau i unga mai ki a koutou.
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.
Ko wai oti i whakahawea ki te ra o nga mea ririki? ka koa hoki ratou, ka kite hoki i te kohatu paramu i roto i te ringa o Herupapera, ara enei e whitu nei, koia nei nga kanohi o Ihowa; e kopikopiko ana ratou i te whenua katoa.
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]?
Katahi ahau ka oho atu, ka mea ki a ia, He aha enei oriwa e rua i te taha ki matau o te turanga rama, i te taha hoki ki maui?
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?
I whakahoki atu ano ahau, he tuarua, ka mea ki a ia, He aha enei manga oriwa e rua, e rua nga korere koura i piri atu ai raua, i rere atu ai te hinu koura i roto i aua korere ra?
13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these [are]? And I said, No, my lord.
Katahi tera ka korero mai ki ahau, ka mea, Kahore ranei koe e mohio ko te aha enei? Ano ra ko ahau, Kahore, e toku ariki.
14 Then said he, These [are] the two anointed ones, that stand by the LORD of the whole earth.
Na ka ki mai ia, Ko enei e rua ko nga tama a te hinu, e tu ana i te taha o te Ariki o te whenua katoa.
