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.
Then the messenger who talked with me came again and woke me, as someone who is woken from 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.
He said to me, ‘What do you see?’ I said, ‘I see a candlestick, all of gold, with a bowl on its top, and seven lamps on it. There are seven pipes to each of the lamps, which are on its top,
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 next to it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on its left side.’
4 Mwen te di a zanj ki t ap pale avè m nan. Mwen te di: “Kisa sa yo ye mèt mwen?”
I said to the messenger who talked with me, ‘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 messenger who talked with me answered, ‘Don’t you know 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.
He said to me, ‘This is the message of the Lord regarding Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, says 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!”’”
will I make the great mountain before Zerubbabel a plain. He will bring forth the top stones with shoutings of, “Grace, grace, to it.”’
8 Anplis, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
Moreover this message of the Lord came to me:
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 will also finish it. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to 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 has despised the day of small things? They will rejoice, and will see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. (The seven lamps are the eyes of the Lord that search all around the world.)
11 Mwen te di li: “Se kisa de bwa doliv sila yo ki sou kote dwat ak sou kote goch a chandelye yo ye?”
Again I asked, ‘What are these two olive trees on the right side of the candlestick and on its left side?’
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?”
Again, ‘What are these two branches of the olive trees, which are pouring out the golden oil through the two golden pipes?’
13 Li te reponn mwen, e te di: “Èske ou pa konnen kisa yo ye?” Mwen te di: “Non mèt mwen.”
He answered me, ‘Don’t you now 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 he explained, ‘They are the two anointed ones who attend the Lord of all the earth.’
