Zekaraya 4
1 Mgbe ahụ, mmụọ ozi ahụ nke na-agwa m okwu lọghachiri kpọtee m, dịka e si akpọte onye nọ nʼụra.
And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.
2 Ọ sịrị m, “Gịnị ka ị na-ahụ?” Asịrị m, “Ana m ahụ ihe ịdọba oriọna e ji ọlaedo mee. O nwere ọkwa nʼisi ya, nweekwa oriọna asaa, nke na-enwu nʼelu ya. Oriọna asaa ndị a nwekwara okporo asaa e si agbanye mmanụ nʼime ha.
And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I see, and behold, a lamp-stand all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps thereon, seven [lamps] and seven pipes to the lamps, which are upon the top thereof;
3 Ahụkwara m osisi oliv abụọ nke dị nʼakụkụ ihe ịdọba oriọna ahụ. Otu dị nʼotu akụkụ ya, nke ọzọ, nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ.”
and two olive-trees beside it, one on the right of the bowl, and the other on the left of it.
4 A sịrị m mmụọ ozi ahụ na-ekwuru m okwu, “Nna m ukwu, gịnị ka nke a pụtara?”
And I answered and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
5 Mmụọ ozi ahụ na-agwa m okwu sịrị m, “Ị na-ekwu na ị maghị ihe ha bụ?” Azara m sị, “Ee, nna m ukwu, amaghị m.”
And the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, No, my lord.
6 Ọ sịrị m, “Nke a bụ okwu nke Onyenwe anyị nye Zerubabel. ‘Ọ bụghị site nʼike, maọbụ site nʼume, kama ọ bụ site na Mmụọ m,’ ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru.
And he answered and spoke unto me, saying, This is the word of Jehovah unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith Jehovah of hosts.
7 “Gịnị ka ị bụ, gị ugwu dị ukwuu? Ị ga-aghọ ala dị larịị nʼihu Zerubabel. Mgbe ahụ, ọ ga-awapụta isi nkume ahụ site nʼiti oke mkpu ọṅụ, ‘Amara! Amara dịrị ya!’”
Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel [thou dost become] a plain; and he shall bring forth the head-stone with shoutings: Grace, grace unto it!
8 Mgbe ahụ, okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị sị,
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
9 “Zerubabel wara ntọala ụlọnsọ ukwu a, ọ bụ ya ga-ewuchakwa ya. Mgbe ahụ, ị ga-amata na ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile zitere m ịbịakwute unu.
The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; and his hands shall finish it: and thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto you.
10 “Onye na-eleda ụbọchị ihe nta anya ebe ọ bụ nʼanya asaa nke Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile na-ejegharị na-elezu ụwa dum, ga-aṅụ ọṅụ mgbe ha hụrụ nkume eji atụ mgbidi nʼaka Zerubabel?”
For who hath despised the day of small things? Yea, they shall rejoice [even] those seven — and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel: these are the eyes of Jehovah, which run to and fro in the whole earth.
11 Mgbe ahụ, a sịrị m ya, “Gịnị bụ osisi oliv abụọ ahụ dị nʼaka nri na nʼaka ekpe ihe ịdọba oriọna ahụ?”
And I answered and said unto him, What are these two olive-trees on the right of the lamp-stand and on its left?
12 A sịkwara m ya nke ugboro abụọ, “Gịnị bụ alaka osisi oliv abụọ ndị a dị nʼakụkụ okporo ọlaedo abụọ ahụ, nke e si na ha na-awụpụta mmanụ ọlaedo?”
And I answered the second time and said unto him, What are the two olive-branches which are beside the two golden tubes that empty the gold out of themselves?
13 Ọ sịrị m, “Ọ pụtara na ị maghị ihe ha bụ?” Asịrị m, “Mba, nna m ukwu.”
And he spoke to me, saying, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, No, my lord.
14 Mgbe ahụ, ọ sịrị m, “Ndị a bụ mmadụ abụọ a họpụtara tee mmanụ, ife ya ofufe bụ Onyenwe ụwa niile.”
And he said, These are the two sons of oil, that stand before the Lord of the whole earth.
