Zechariah 4
1 And the aungel turnede ayen, that spak in me, and reiside me, as a man that is reisid of his sleep.
Kisha malaika aliyezungumza nami akarudi na kuniamsha, kama mtu aamshwavyo kutoka usingizi wake.
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.
Akaniuliza, “Unaona nini?” Nikajibu, “Ninaona kinara cha taa cha dhahabu tupu, nacho kina bakuli juu yake na taa zake saba juu yake, tena iko mirija saba ya kuleta mafuta, kwenye taa zote zilizo juu yake.
3 And twei olyues there onne, oon of the riythalf `of the laumpe, and `an other on the left half therof.
Pia kuna mizeituni miwili karibu yake, mmoja upande wa kuume wa bakuli na mwingine upande wa kushoto.”
4 And Y answeride, and seide to the aungel that spak in me, and Y seide, What ben these thingis, my lord?
Nikamuuliza malaika aliyezungumza nami, “Hivi ni vitu gani, bwana wangu?”
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.
Akanijibu, “Hujui kuwa hivi ni vitu gani?” Nikajibu, “Hapana, bwana wangu.”
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.
Kisha akaniambia, “Hili ni neno la Bwana kwa Zerubabeli: ‘Si kwa uwezo, wala si kwa nguvu, bali ni kwa Roho yangu,’ asema Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote.
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.
“Wewe ni kitu gani, ee mlima mkubwa sana? Mbele ya Zerubabeli wewe utakuwa ardhi tambarare. Kisha ataweka jiwe la juu kabisa la mwisho na watu wakipiga kelele wakisema, ‘Mungu libariki! Mungu libariki!’”
8 And the word of the Lord was maad to me,
Kisha neno la Bwana likanijia:
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.
“Mikono ya Zerubabeli iliweka msingi wa Hekalu hili, mikono yake pia italimalizia. Kisha mtajua ya kuwa Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote amenituma mimi kwenu.
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.
“Ni nani anayeidharau siku ya mambo madogo? Watu watashangilia watakapoona timazi mkononi mwa Zerubabeli. “(Hizi saba ni macho ya Bwana ambayo huzunguka duniani kote.)”
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?
Kisha nikamuuliza yule malaika, “Hii mizeituni miwili iliyoko upande wa kuume na wa kushoto wa kinara cha taa ni nini?”
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?
Tena nikamuuliza, “Haya matawi mawili ya mizeituni karibu na hiyo mirija miwili ya dhahabu inayomimina mafuta ya dhahabu ni nini?”
13 And he seide to me, and spak, Whether thou woost not what ben these thingis?
Akajibu, “Hujui kuwa haya ni nini?” Nikamjibu, “Hapana, bwana wangu.”
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.
Kwa hiyo akasema, “Hawa ni wawili ambao wamepakwa mafuta ili kumtumikia Bwana wa dunia yote.”
