< Zekaria 4 >

1 HOI hou mai la ka anela i kamailio me au, a hoala mai la ia'u, e like me ka hoala ana i ke kanaka hiamoe.
The angel who talked with me came again, and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep.
2 Ninau mai la ia ia'u, Heaha kau mea e ike nei? I aku la au, Ua nana aku au, aia hoi, he ipukukui gula okoa, a maluna o kona welau he ipu aila, a maluna iho olaila na kukui ehiku a me na ohe ehiku no ua mau kukui ehiku la o kau ana maluna o kona welau.
He said to me, "What do you see?" I said, "I have seen, and look, a lampstand all of gold, with its bowl on the top of it, and its seven lamps thereon; there are seven pipes to each of the lamps, which are on the top of it;
3 He elua mau laau oliva hoi e kokoke ana ilaila, o kekahi ma ka akau, a o kekahi hoi ma ka hema o ua ipu aila la.
and two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on the left side of it."
4 Ninau aku la hoi au i ka anela i kamailio me au, i aku la, Heaha ke ano o keia mau mea, e kuu haku?
I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, "What are these, my lord?"
5 I mai la ka anela i kamailio me au Aole anei oe i ike i ke ano o keia mau mea? I aku la au, Aole, e kuu haku.
Then the angel who talked with me answered me, "Do you not know what these are?" I said, "No, my lord."
6 Alaila olelo mai la kela, i mai la ia'u penei, O keia ka olelo a Iehova ia Zerubabela, i ka i ana, Aole ma ka mana, aole ma ka ikaika, aka, ma kuu Uhane, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, "This is the word of YHWH to Zerubbabel, saying, 'Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says YHWH of hosts.
7 Heaha oe, e ka mauna nui? imua o Zerubabela, he papu: a e lawe mai auanei oia i ka pohaku kumu, me ka hookani olioli ana, He aloha! he aloha ia ia!
Who are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you are a plain; and he will bring out the capstone with shouts of 'Grace, grace, to it.'"
8 A hiki hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova io'u nei, i ka i ana,
Moreover the word of YHWH came to me, saying,
9 Ua hookumu iho la na lima o Zerubabela i keia hale, a na kona mau lima hoi e hoopaa; a e ike auanei oe, na Iehova o na kaua wau i hoouna mai io oukou la.
"The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands shall also finish it; and you will know that YHWH of hosts has sent me to you.
10 Nawai la i hoowahawaha i ka la o na mea liilii? E olioli auanei lakou, a e ike hoi i ka pohaku kepau ma ka lima o Zerubabela, o lakou a ehiku. O lakou na maka o Iehova e hele ae ana mai o a ianei ma ka honua a pau.
Indeed, who despises the day of small things? For these seven shall rejoice, and shall see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. These are the eyes of YHWH, which run back and forth through the whole earth."
11 Alaila, ninau aku la au, i aku la ia ia, Heaha ke ano o kela mau oliva elua ma ka lima akau o ka ipukukui, a ma ka lima hema ona?
Then I asked him, "What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lampstand and on the left side of it?"
12 Ninau hou aku la au, i aku la ia ia, Heaha kela mau lala oliva elua e pili ana me na ohe gula, e hookahe ana i ka aila gula mailoko mai o laua?
I asked him the second time, "What are these two olive branches, which are beside the two golden spouts, that pour the golden oil out of themselves?"
13 Ninau mai la kela ia'u, i mai la, Aole oe i ike i keia mau mea? I aku la au, Aole, e ka haku.
He answered me, "Do you not know what these are?" I said, "No, my lord."
14 Alaila i mai la kela, O keia no na kanaka elua i poniia i ka aila e ku kokoke ana ma ka Haku o ka honua a pau.
Then he said, "These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth."
