< 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 messenger who is speaking with me doth turn back, and stir me up as one who is stirred up 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 saith unto me, 'What art thou seeing?' And I say, 'I have looked, and lo, a candlestick of gold — all of it, and its bowl [is] on its top, and its seven lamps [are] upon it, and twice seven pipes [are] to the lights that [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 [are] by it, one on the right of the bowl, and one on its left.'
4 Mwen te di a zanj ki t ap pale avè m nan. Mwen te di: “Kisa sa yo ye mèt mwen?”
And I answer and speak unto the messenger who is speaking 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.”
And the messenger who is speaking with me answereth and saith unto me, 'Hast thou not known what these [are]?' And I say, '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.
And he answereth and speaketh unto me, saying: 'This [is] a word of Jehovah unto Zerubbabel, saying: Not by a force, nor by power, But — by My Spirit, said Jehovah 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 — for a plain! And he hath brought forth the top-stone, Cries of Grace, grace — [are] to it.'
8 Anplis, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
And there is a word of Jehovah to 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.
Hands of Zerubbabel did found this house, And his hands do finish it, And thou hast known that Jehovah 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 trampled on the day of small things, They have rejoiced, And seen the tin weight in the hand of Zerubbabel, These seven [are] the eyes of Jehovah, They are going to and fro in all the land.'
11 Mwen te di li: “Se kisa de bwa doliv sila yo ki sou kote dwat ak sou kote goch a chandelye yo ye?”
And I answer and say unto him, 'What [are] these two olive-trees, on the right of the candlestick, and on its left?'
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 answer a second time, and say unto him, 'What [are] the two branches of the olive trees that, by means of the two golden pipes, are emptying out of themselves the oil?'
13 Li te reponn mwen, e te di: “Èske ou pa konnen kisa yo ye?” Mwen te di: “Non mèt mwen.”
And he speaketh unto me, saying, 'Hast thou not known what these [are]?' And I say, 'No, my lord.'
14 Li te di: “Sa yo se de moun onksyone yo ki kanpe akote Mèt a tout tè a.”
And he saith, 'These [are] the two sons of the oil, who are standing by the Lord of the whole earth.'
