1 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũraika ũrĩa twaranagĩria nake akĩhũndũka, akĩnjarahũra, ta ũrĩa mũndũ aarahũragwo kuuma toro.
And the aungel turnede ayen, that spak in me, and reiside me, as a man that is reisid of his sleep.
2 Nake akĩnjũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ ũroona?” Na niĩ ngĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndĩrona mũtĩ wa thahabu theri wa kũigĩrĩrwo tawa, ũrĩ na mbakũri igũrũ rĩaguo, na ũigĩrĩirwo matawa mũgwanja na mĩberethi mũgwanja ya gũtwara maguta matawa-inĩ macio.
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.
3 Ningĩ harĩ na mĩtĩ ĩĩrĩ ya mĩtamaiyũ ĩriganĩtie naguo, ũmwe ũrĩ mwena wa ũrĩo wa mbakũri, na ũrĩa ũngĩ mwena wayo wa ũmotho.”
And twei olyues there onne, oon of the riythalf `of the laumpe, and `an other on the left half therof.
4 Ngĩũria mũraika ũrĩa twaranagĩria atĩrĩ, “Mwathi wakwa, ici nacio nĩ ndũũ?”
And Y answeride, and seide to the aungel that spak in me, and Y seide, What ben these thingis, my lord?
5 Nake akĩnjũũria atĩrĩ, “Wee-rĩ, ndũũĩ ici nĩ ndũũ?” Na niĩ ngĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Aca, Mwathi wakwa, ndiũĩ.”
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.
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova kũrĩ Zerubabeli, nayo ĩkuuga ũũ: ‘Ti ũndũ wa hinya kana wa ũhoti, no nĩ ũndũ wa Roho wakwa,’ ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.
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.
7 “Wee kĩrĩma gĩkĩ kĩnene-rĩ, ũkĩrĩ ũ? Ũgaatuĩka kũndũ kwaraganu mbere ya Zerubabeli. Ningĩ nĩwe ũkaarehe ihiga rĩa kũrĩĩkia mwako o gũkĩanagĩrĩrwo atĩrĩ, ‘Ngai rĩrathime! Ngai rĩrathime!’”
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.
8 Ningĩ ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova ĩkĩnginyĩrĩra ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
And the word of the Lord was maad to me,
9 “Moko ma Zerubabeli nĩmo maakĩte mũthingi wa hekarũ ĩno, na moko make no mo makaamĩrĩkia. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkamenya atĩ Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩwe ũndũmĩte kũrĩ inyuĩ.
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.
10 “Nũũ ũmenaga mũthenya wa kĩambĩrĩria kĩa maũndũ manini? Andũ nĩmagakena moona kabirũ karĩ guoko-inĩ gwa Zerubabeli. (Maya nĩmo maitho mũgwanja ma Jehova, marĩa moonaga thĩ yothe.)”
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.
11 Ningĩ ngĩũria mũraika ũcio atĩrĩ, “Mĩtamaiyũ ĩno ĩĩrĩ ĩrĩ mwena wa ũrĩo na wa ũmotho wa mũtĩ wa kũigĩrĩra tawa nĩ mĩtũũ?”
And Y answeride, and seide to hym, What ben these tweyne olyues on the riythalf of the candilstike, and at the lift-half therof?
12 Ningĩ ngĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Honge ici igĩrĩ cia mĩtamaiyũ irũgamanĩte na mĩberethi ĩno ya thahabu iraita maguta mahaana ta thahabu nĩ ndũũ?”
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?
13 Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Wee-rĩ, ndũũĩ ici nĩ ndũũ?” Na niĩ ngiuga atĩrĩ, “Aca, Mwathi wakwa, ndiũĩ.”
And he seide to me, and spak, Whether thou woost not what ben these thingis?
14 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Aya eerĩ nĩo maitĩrĩirio maguta nĩguo matungatage Mwathani wa thĩ yothe.”
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.
