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.
Then the messenger who talked with me came again and woke me, as someone who is woken from 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 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 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 next to it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on its left side.’
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 said to the messenger who talked with me, ‘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 messenger who talked with me answered, ‘Don’t you know what these are?’ And 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.
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 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!
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 A hiki hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova io'u nei, i ka i ana,
Moreover this message of the Lord came to me:
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 will also finish it. Then you will know that the Lord 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.
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 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?
Again I asked, ‘What are these two olive trees on the right side of the candlestick and on its left side?’
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?
Again, ‘What are these two branches of the olive trees, which are pouring out the golden oil through the two golden pipes?’
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, ‘Don’t you now what these are?’ And 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 explained, ‘They are the two anointed ones who attend the Lord of all the earth.’
