Zakari 4
1 Konsa, zanj ki t ap pale avè m nan te retounen. E te Li te fè m Leve tankou yon nonm yo te leve soti nan dòmi.
And the angel that spoke with me returned, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.
2 Li te di m: “Kisa ou wè?” Mwen te di: “Mwen te wè e vwala, yon chandelye ki fèt nèt an lò, avèk bòl li sou tèt li, ak sèt lanp li yo. Gen sèt bobèch pou chak lanp ki sou li yo.
And he said unto me: 'What seest thou?' And I said: 'I have seen, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps thereon; there are seven pipes, yea, seven, to the lamps, which are upon the top thereof;
3 Anplis, gen de bwa doliv yo sou kote li, youn sou kote dwat bòl la, e lòt la sou kote goch la.”
and two olive-trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.'
4 Mwen te di a zanj ki t ap pale avè m nan. Mwen te di: “Kisa sa yo ye mèt mwen?”
And I answered and spoke to the angel that spoke with me, saying: 'What are these, my lord?'
5 Konsa, zanj ki t ap pale avè m nan te reponn. Li te di m: “Èske ou pa konnen kisa sa yo ye?” Mwen te reponn: “Non, mèt mwen.”
Then the angel that spoke with me answered and said unto me: 'Knowest thou not what these are?' And I said: 'No, my lord.'
6 Epi li te di m: “Sa se pawòl SENYÈ a Zorobabel la ki di: ‘Se pa pa lafòs, ni pa pwisans, men pa Lespri Mwen,’ pale SENYÈ dèzame yo.
Then he answered and spoke unto me, saying: 'This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying: Not by might, nor by power, but by My spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
7 ‘Se kilès ou ye, O gran montay la? Devan Zorobabel, ou va vin tounen tè pla. Konsa, li va fè vin parèt ak wòch prensipal la, ak gwo kri k ap di: “Gras, gras a li!”’”
Who art thou, O great mountain before Zerubbabel? thou shalt become a plain; and he shall bring forth the top stone with shoutings of Grace, grace, unto it.'
8 Anplis, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
9 “Men a Zorobabel te poze fondasyon kay sa. Se men l k ap fin fè l. Konsa, ou va konnen ke se SENYÈ dèzame yo ki te voye mwen kote ou.
'The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you.
10 Paske se kilès ki te meprize jou a ti bagay yo? Men sèt sila yo va rejwi lè yo wè liy a plòn an nan men Zorobabel. Sa yo se zye SENYÈ a k ap veye toupatou sou tout tè a.”
For who hath despised the day of small things? even they shall see with joy the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel, even these seven, which are the eyes of the LORD, that run to and fro through the whole earth.'
11 Mwen te di li: “Se kisa de bwa doliv sila yo ki sou kote dwat ak sou kote goch a chandelye yo ye?”
Then answered I, and said unto him: 'What are these two olive-trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?'
12 Mwen te mande l yon dezyèm fwa. Mwen te di li: “Se kisa de branch doliv sila yo ki sou kote de tij an lò k ap vide lwil an lò k ap soti nan yo a?”
And I answered the second time, and said unto him: 'What are these two olive branches, which are beside the two golden spouts, that empty the golden oil out of themselves?'
13 Li te reponn mwen, e te di: “Èske ou pa konnen kisa yo ye?” Mwen te di: “Non mèt mwen.”
And he answered me and said: 'Knowest thou not what these are?' And I said: 'No, my lord.'
14 Li te di: “Sa yo se de moun onksyone yo ki kanpe akote Mèt a tout tè a.”
Then said he: 'These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.'
