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.

And once more the messenger who was speaking with me, roused me up, just as a man might be roused up 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.

Then said he unto me, What canst thou see? And I said—I have looked, and lo! a Lampstand—all of gold, with the Bowl thereof upon the top thereof, and its Seven Lamps upon it, Seven Pipes each, to the lamps which are upon the top thereof;

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 upon the right hand of the bowl, and one upon the left hand thereof.

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?

Then responded I, and said unto the messenger who was speaking 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 answered the messenger who was speaking with me, and said unto me, Knowest thou not 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.

Then responded he, and spake unto me, saying, This, is the word of Yahweh, unto Zerubbabel, saying, —Not by wealth, nor by strength, but by my spirit, saith Yahweh 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, art, thou, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel, [brought down] to a plain! So shall he bring forth the headstone, with thundering shouts Beautiful! Beautiful! thereunto.

8 A hiki hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova io'u nei, i ka i ana,

Then came the word of Yahweh unto 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 founded this house, and, his hands, shall finish it, —So shalt thou know that, Yahweh of hosts, hath sent me unto 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 hath despised the day of small things? Yet shall they rejoice, when they see the plummet-stone in the hand of Zerubbabel, —these seven! The eyes of Yahweh, they are—running to and fro throughout all the 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 responded I, and said unto him, —What are these two olive-trees, upon the right of the lampstand, and upon the left thereof?

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?

And I responded a second time, and said unto him, —What are the two branches of the olive- trees which join the two golden tubes, which empty out of them the golden oil?

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.

And he spake unto me, saying, Knowest thou not 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 said he, These, are the two Anointed Ones, —who stand near the Lord of all the earth.
