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,
Afei, ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔne me kasaeɛ no sanee nʼakyi bɛnyanee me, sɛdeɛ wɔnyane obi firi ne nna mu no.
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.
Ɔbisaa me sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na wohunu yi?” Mebuaa sɛ, “Mehunu kaneadua a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ayɛ a kuruwa si so, na nkanea nson a ebiara wɔ ne dorobɛn sisi so.
3 And two olive-trees by it, one upon the right [side] of the bowl, and the other upon the left [side].
Bio, ngo nnua mmienu sisi ho, baako wɔ kuruwa no nifa so, ɛna baako nso wɔ ne benkum so.”
4 So I answered and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What [are] these, my lord?
Mebisaa ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔne me kasaeɛ no sɛ, “Yeinom yɛ ɛdeɛn, me wura?”
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.
Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Wonnim deɛ yeinom yɛ anaa?” Mekaa sɛ, “Dabi, me wura.”
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.
Enti ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Yei ne Awurade asɛm a ɔde rekɔma Serubabel: ‘Ɛnyɛ tumi so, na ɛnyɛ ahoɔden nso so, na mmom, ɛnam me Honhom so,’ sɛdeɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie.
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.
“Woyɛ ɛdeɛn, Ao bepɔ kɛseɛ? Wobɛyɛ asase tamaa wɔ Serubabel anim. Afei ɔde aboɔ fɛfɛ no bɛba abɛhyia osebɔ sɛ, ‘Onyankopɔn nhyira so! Onyankopɔn nhyira so!’”
8 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Na Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
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.
“Ɛnam Serubabel nsa so na wɔtoo asɔredan yi fapem, na ɛnam ne nsa so na wɔbɛwie. Na mobɛhunu sɛ, Asafo Awurade na wasoma me mo nkyɛn.
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.
“Hwan na ɔbu nneɛma nketenkete mfiaseɛ ɛda animtiaa? Sɛ nnipa hunu sɛ Serubabel kura kyirebenn susu ahoma no a, wɔn ani bɛgye. “(Saa ani nson yi yɛ Awurade ani a ɛhwɛ ewiase afanan nyinaa.)”
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]?
Na mebisaa ɔbɔfoɔ no sɛ, “Saa ngo nnua mmienu no a ɛsisi kanea dua no nifa ne benkum no yɛ ɛdeɛn?”
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?
Na mebisaa no bio sɛ, “Ngodua mman mmienu a ɛhwie ngo a ani yɛ akokɔsradeɛ fa sikakɔkɔɔ dorobɛn mmienu no mu no yɛ ɛdeɛn?”
13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these [are]? And I said, No, my lord.
Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Enti wonnim deɛ yeinom yɛ anaa?” Mebuaa sɛ, “Dabi, me wura.”
14 Then said he, These [are] the two anointed ones, that stand by the LORD of the whole earth.
Nti ɔkaa sɛ, “Yeinom ne mmienu a wɔasra wɔn ngo sɛ wɔnsom Awurade a ɔdi ewiase nyinaa so.”
