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 mee, came againe and waked mee, as a man that is raysed out of his sleepe,
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 saide vnto me, What seest thou? And I said, I haue looked, and beholde, a candlesticke all of gold with a bowle vpon the toppe of it, and his seuen lampes therein, and seuen pipes to the lampes, which were vpon the toppe 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 oliue trees ouer it, one vpon the right side of the bowle, and the other vpon the left side thereof.
4 A sịrị m mmụọ ozi ahụ na-ekwuru m okwu, “Nna m ukwu, gịnị ka nke a pụtara?”
So I answered, and spake 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.”
Then the Angel that talked with mee, answered and said vnto me, Knowest thou not what these be? 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.
Then he answered and spake vnto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord vnto Zerubbabel, saying, Neither by an armie nor strength, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hostes.
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 mountaine, before Zerubbabel? thou shalt be a plaine, and he shall bring foorth the head stone thereof, with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace vnto it.
8 Mgbe ahụ, okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị sị,
Moreouer, the word of the Lord came vnto 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 handes of Zerubbabel haue layde the foundation of this house: his handes shall also finish it, and thou shalt knowe that the Lord of hostes hath sent me vnto 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 the small thinges? but they shall reioyce, and shall see the stone of tinne in the hand of Zerubbabel: these seuen are the eyes of the Lord, which go thorow the whole world.
11 Mgbe ahụ, a sịrị m ya, “Gịnị bụ osisi oliv abụọ ahụ dị nʼaka nri na nʼaka ekpe ihe ịdọba oriọna ahụ?”
Then answered I, and said vnto him, What are these two oliue trees vpon the right and vpon the left side thereof?
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 spake moreouer, and said vnto him, What bee these two oliue branches, which thorowe the two golden pipes emptie themselues into the golde?
13 Ọ sịrị m, “Ọ pụtara na ị maghị ihe ha bụ?” Asịrị m, “Mba, nna m ukwu.”
And hee answered me, and saide, Knowest thou not what these bee? And I sayde, 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.”
Then said he, These are the two oliue branches, that stand with the ruler of the whole earth.
