Zekaria 4
1 Mawudɔla si ƒo nu kplim la, trɔ gbɔ va nyɔm abe ɖe menɔ alɔ̃ dɔm ene.
And the angel that talked with me returned, and awakened me, as when a man is awakened out of 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.
And he said to me, What see you? And I said, I have seen, and behold a candlestick all of gold, and its bowl upon it, and seven lamps upon it, and seven oil funnels to the lamps upon it:
3 Amiti eve le axawo dzi nɛ; ɖeka le ɖusime, evelia le miame.”
and two olive-trees above it, one on the right of the bowl, and one on the left.
4 Mebia mawudɔla si ƒo nu kplim la be, “Nu kawoe nye esiawo, nye aƒetɔ?”
And I enquired, and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these things, [my] lord?
5 Mawudɔla la trɔ biam be, “Vavã, mènya nu si nu siawo nye oa?” Meɖo eŋu be, “Ao, nye Aƒetɔ.”
And the angel that talked with me answered, and spoke to me, saying, Know you not what these things are? And I said, No, [my] lord.
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.
And he answered and spoke to me, saying, This is the word of the Lord to Zorobabel, saying, Not by mighty power, nor by strength, but by my Spirit, says the Lord Almighty.
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!’”
Who are you, the great mountain before Zorobabel, that you should prosper? whereas I will bring out the stone of the inheritance, the grace of it the equal of [my ] grace.
8 Tete Yehowa ƒe gbe va nam be,
And 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 Zorobabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands shall finish it: and you shall know that the Lord Almighty 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 small days? surely they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet of tin in the hand of Zorobabel: these are the seven eyes that look upon all the earth.
11 Mebia mawudɔla la be, “Nu kae nye amiti eve siwo le ɖusime kple miame na akaɖiti la?”
And I answered, and said to him, What are these two olive-trees, which are on the right and left hand of the candlestick?
12 Megabia be, “Nu kawoe nye amiti ƒe alɔdze eve siwo le sika ƒe alɔ siwo me sikami dona tsona?”
And I asked the second time, and said to him, What are the two branches of the olive-trees that are by the side of the two golden pipes that pour into and communicate with the golden oil funnels?
13 Eɖo eŋu be, “Mènya nu si wonye oa?” Megblɔ be, “Ao, nye aƒetɔ.”
And he said to me, Know you not what these are? and I said, No, [my] lord.
14 Ale wògblɔ nam be, “Woawoe nye ame eve siwo wosi ami na be woasubɔ anyigba blibo la ƒe Aƒetɔ.”
And he said, These are the two anointed ones [that] stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
