< Zechariah 4 >

1 The angel who talked with me came again and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep.
Malaika mane osebedo kawuoyo koda nochiewa, mana kaka ichiewo ngʼato ma nindo.
2 He said to me, “What do you see?” I said, “I have seen, and behold, a lamp stand all of gold, with its bowl on the top of it, and its seven lamps on it; there are seven pipes to each of the lamps which are on the top of it;
Ne openja niya, “Ineno angʼo?” To ne adwoke niya, “Aneno rachung taya molos gi dhahabu lilo, koket bakul e wiye malo mogik, kod teyni abiriyo maliel, to teynigo nigi kuonde abiriyo mirwakoe kitambi.
3 and two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on the left side of it.”
Bende nitie yiend Zeituni ariyo e bathe, achiel e bath bakul korachwich to machielo e bathe koracham.”
4 I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?”
Napenjo malaika mane loso kodano niya, “Magi gin angʼo, ruodha?”
5 Then the angel who talked with me answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?” I said, “No, my lord.”
Nodwoka niya, “Ikia gigi adier?” Nadwoke niya, “Ooyo ruodha, akiagi.”
6 Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, “This is the LORD’s word to Zerubbabel, saying, ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD of Armies.
Omiyo nowachona niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho ne Zerubabel: ‘Ok timre kuom nyalo kata kuom teko, to mana kuom Roho mara,’ Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho.
7 Who are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you are a plain; and he will bring out the capstone with shouts of ‘Grace, grace, to it!’”
“Yaye, in got maduongʼ, in to in angʼo? Ibiro pieyi piny michal gi pap e nyim Zerubabel. Bangʼe obiro keto kido mogik mar gedo ka ji kok gimor ni, ‘Nyasaye mondo ogwedh odni! Nyasaye mondo ogwedh odni!’”
8 Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kendo kawacho niya,
9 “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands shall also finish it; and you will know that the LORD of Armies has sent me to you.
“Lwet Zerubabel oseketo mise mar hekaluni kendo lwetene ema biro tieke. Eka iningʼe ni Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ema oseora iri.
10 Indeed, who despises the day of small things? For these seven shall rejoice, and shall see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. These are the LORD’s eyes, which run back and forth through the whole earth.”
“Ngʼa madihedhre chayo odiechieng chako gik matindo? Ji nobed mamor ka gineno tond pimo ot e lwet Zerubabel. “Teyni abiriyogi ochungʼ kar wenge Jehova Nyasaye marango piny koni gi koni.”
11 Then I asked him, “What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lamp stand and on the left side of it?”
Eka napenjo malaika niya, “Yiende zeituni ariyo mantie bath rachung taya korachwich gi koracham, to gin angʼo?”
12 I asked him the second time, “What are these two olive branches, which are beside the two golden spouts that pour the golden oil out of themselves?”
Ne achako apenje niya, “Bede ariyo mag yadh zeituni manie bath hotogoro ariyo mag dhahabu ma olo mor dhahabu oko-gi, gin angʼo?”
13 He answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?” I said, “No, my lord.”
Nodwoka niya, “Ikia gigi adier?” Nawachone niya, “Ooyo ruodha, akiagi.”
14 Then he said, “These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.”
Eka nokona niya, “Magi e ji ariyo mowir mondo otine Ruoth Nyasaye e piny ngima.”
