Zekaria 4
1 Mawudɔla si ƒo nu kplim la, trɔ gbɔ va nyɔm abe ɖe menɔ alɔ̃ dɔm ene.
Then the angel who was speaking with me returned and woke me, as a man is awakened from his sleep.
2 Ebiam be, “Azɔ la, nu ka kpɔm nèle?” Meɖo eŋu be, “Mele sikakaɖiti si dzi wotsɔ agba da ɖo, eye akaɖi adre le agba sia tame, alɔ adre siwo me do le la to akaɖiti ɖe sia ɖe me ge ɖe agba la me.
“What do you see?” he asked. “I see a solid gold lampstand,” I replied, “with a bowl at the top and seven lamps on it, with seven spouts to the lamps.
3 Amiti eve le axawo dzi nɛ; ɖeka le ɖusime, evelia le miame.”
There are also two olive trees beside it, one on the right side of the bowl and the other on its left.”
4 Mebia mawudɔla si ƒo nu kplim la be, “Nu kawoe nye esiawo, nye aƒetɔ?”
“What are these, my lord?” I asked the angel who was speaking with me.
5 Mawudɔla la trɔ biam be, “Vavã, mènya nu si nu siawo nye oa?” Meɖo eŋu be, “Ao, nye Aƒetɔ.”
“Do you not know what they are?” replied the angel. “No, my lord,” I answered.
6 Egblɔ nam be, “Esia nye Yehowa ƒe gbedeasi na Zerubabel: ‘Menye ŋusẽ alo kalẽ o, ke boŋ Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔe.’ Yehowa Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe.
So he said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the LORD of Hosts.
7 “Nu ka nènye, O, to si ŋu ŋusẽ le? Àzu anyigba sɔsɔe le Zerubabel ŋkume, ahe tamekpe la ado goe ne ɣli le ɖiɖim be, ‘Mawu neyrae! Mawu neyrae!’”
What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain. Then he will bring forth the capstone accompanied by shouts of ‘Grace, grace to it!’”
8 Tete Yehowa ƒe gbe va nam be,
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
9 “Zerubabel ƒe asie ɖo gbedoxɔ sia ƒe gɔmeɖokpe anyi, eya ta eƒe asie awu enu. Ekema mianya be Yehowa Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae dɔm ɖe mia gbɔ.
“The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands will complete it. Then you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent me to you.
10 “Ame ka ado vlo ŋkeke si nuwo dze egɔme sue? Dzi adzɔ amewo, ne wokpɔ dzidzeka le Zerubabel ƒe asi me. Akaɖi adre siawoe nye Yehowa ƒe ŋku siwo wòtsɔna tsana le anyigba katã dzii.”
For who has despised the day of small things? But these seven eyes of the LORD, which scan the whole earth, will rejoice when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel.”
11 Mebia mawudɔla la be, “Nu kae nye amiti eve siwo le ɖusime kple miame na akaɖiti la?”
Then I asked the angel, “What are the two olive trees on the right and left of the lampstand?”
12 Megabia be, “Nu kawoe nye amiti ƒe alɔdze eve siwo le sika ƒe alɔ siwo me sikami dona tsona?”
And I questioned him further, “What are the two olive branches beside the two gold pipes from which the golden oil pours?”
13 Eɖo eŋu be, “Mènya nu si wonye oa?” Megblɔ be, “Ao, nye aƒetɔ.”
“Do you not know what these are?” he inquired. “No, my lord,” I replied.
14 Ale wògblɔ nam be, “Woawoe nye ame eve siwo wosi ami na be woasubɔ anyigba blibo la ƒe Aƒetɔ.”
So he said, “These are the two anointed ones who are standing beside the Lord of all the earth.”
