< Zechariah 4 >

1 And the aungel turnede ayen, that spak in me, and reiside me, as a man that is reisid of his sleep.
Mgbe ahụ, mmụọ ozi ahụ nke na-agwa m okwu lọghachiri kpọtee m, dịka e si akpọte onye nọ nʼụra.
2 And he seide to me, What seest thou? And Y seide, Y saiy, and lo! a candilstike al of gold, and the laumpe therof on the heed therof, and seuene lanternes therof on it, and seuene vessels for to holde oyle to the lanternes, that weren on the heed therof.
Ọ sịrị m, “Gịnị ka ị na-ahụ?” Asịrị m, “Ana m ahụ ihe ịdọba oriọna e ji ọlaedo mee. O nwere ọkwa nʼisi ya, nweekwa oriọna asaa, nke na-enwu nʼelu ya. Oriọna asaa ndị a nwekwara okporo asaa e si agbanye mmanụ nʼime ha.
3 And twei olyues there onne, oon of the riythalf `of the laumpe, and `an other on the left half therof.
Ahụkwara m osisi oliv abụọ nke dị nʼakụkụ ihe ịdọba oriọna ahụ. Otu dị nʼotu akụkụ ya, nke ọzọ, nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ.”
4 And Y answeride, and seide to the aungel that spak in me, and Y seide, What ben these thingis, my lord?
A sịrị m mmụọ ozi ahụ na-ekwuru m okwu, “Nna m ukwu, gịnị ka nke a pụtara?”
5 And the aungel that spak in me, answeride, and seide to me, Whether thou woist not what ben these thingis? And Y seide, No, my lord.
Mmụọ ozi ahụ na-agwa m okwu sịrị m, “Ị na-ekwu na ị maghị ihe ha bụ?” Azara m sị, “Ee, nna m ukwu, amaghị m.”
6 And he answeride, and seide to me, and spak, This is the word of the Lord, seiynge to Sorobabel, Not in oost, nether in strengthe, but in my spirit, seith the Lord of oostis.
Ọ sịrị m, “Nke a bụ okwu nke Onyenwe anyị nye Zerubabel. ‘Ọ bụghị site nʼike, maọbụ site nʼume, kama ọ bụ site na Mmụọ m,’ ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru.
7 Who art thou, greet hil, bifore Sorobabel in to pleyn? and he schal lede out the firste stoon, and schal make euene grace to grace therof.
“Gịnị ka ị bụ, gị ugwu dị ukwuu? Ị ga-aghọ ala dị larịị nʼihu Zerubabel. Mgbe ahụ, ọ ga-awapụta isi nkume ahụ site nʼiti oke mkpu ọṅụ, ‘Amara! Amara dịrị ya!’”
8 And the word of the Lord was maad to me,
Mgbe ahụ, okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị sị,
9 and seide, The hondis of Sorobabel foundiden this hous, and the hondis of hym schulen perfourme it; and ye schulen wite, that the Lord of oostis sente me to you.
“Zerubabel wara ntọala ụlọnsọ ukwu a, ọ bụ ya ga-ewuchakwa ya. Mgbe ahụ, ị ga-amata na ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile zitere m ịbịakwute unu.
10 Who forsothe dispiside litle daies? and thei schulen be glad, and schulen se a stoon of tyn in the hond of Sorobabel. These ben seuene iyen of the Lord, that rennen aboute in to al erthe.
“Onye na-eleda ụbọchị ihe nta anya ebe ọ bụ nʼanya asaa nke Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile na-ejegharị na-elezu ụwa dum, ga-aṅụ ọṅụ mgbe ha hụrụ nkume eji atụ mgbidi nʼaka Zerubabel?”
11 And Y answeride, and seide to hym, What ben these tweyne olyues on the riythalf of the candilstike, and at the lift-half therof?
Mgbe ahụ, a sịrị m ya, “Gịnị bụ osisi oliv abụọ ahụ dị nʼaka nri na nʼaka ekpe ihe ịdọba oriọna ahụ?”
12 And Y answeryde the secounde tyme, and seide to hym, What ben the tweyne eeris, ether ripe fruyt, of olyues, that ben bisidis the twei bilis of gold, in whiche ben oile vesselis of gold?
A sịkwara m ya nke ugboro abụọ, “Gịnị bụ alaka osisi oliv abụọ ndị a dị nʼakụkụ okporo ọlaedo abụọ ahụ, nke e si na ha na-awụpụta mmanụ ọlaedo?”
13 And he seide to me, and spak, Whether thou woost not what ben these thingis?
Ọ sịrị m, “Ọ pụtara na ị maghị ihe ha bụ?” Asịrị m, “Mba, nna m ukwu.”
14 And Y seide, No, my lord. And he seide, These ben twei sones of oile of schynyng, whiche stonden nyy to the lordli gouernour of al erthe.
Mgbe ahụ, ọ sịrị m, “Ndị a bụ mmadụ abụọ a họpụtara tee mmanụ, ife ya ofufe bụ Onyenwe ụwa niile.”
