< Zechariah 4 >

1 Lipufan se ma sramsram nu sik ah sifilpa tuku ac okasyuyak, oana in mu nga motul.
And the angel that talked with me came again, and awaked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep,
2 Ac el siyuk, “Oasr ma kom liye?” Ac nga fahk, “Nga liye soko sukan lam orekla ke gold, ac pol in neinyuk oil se oan oelucng. Oasr lam itkosr oan fin sukan lam soko ah, kais sie oasr acn sin wik itkosr kac.
and said to me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold, a chandelier all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps upon it, and seven pipes to the seven lamps which are upon the top of it;
3 Oasr sak olive lukwa sisken sukan lam sac, soko oan lac ac soko oan layen ngia.”
and two olive-trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side of it.
4 Na nga siyuk sin lipufan sac, “Leum luk, mea kalmen ma inge?”
And I spake, and said to the angel that talked with me, What mean these, my lord?
5 Na el siyuk sik, “Mea, kom nikin?” Ac nga fahk, “Nga nikinna.”
Then the angel who talked with me answered and said to me, Knowest thou not what these mean? And I said, No, my lord.
6 Lipufan sac fahk nu sik nga in sang nu sel Zerubbabel kas sin LEUM GOD inge: “Ma nukewa kom oru ac fah fahla wo, tia ke ku lun mwet mweun ku ke ku lom sifacna, a ke ku lun ngunik.
Then he answered and spake to me, saying, This is the word of Jehovah to Zerubbabel, saying: — Not by might, nor by power, But by my spirit, Saith Jehovah of hosts.
7 Mwe kutong na yohk ac fulat oana fineol, fah wanginla ye motom. Kom ac fah sifil musaela Tempul uh, ac ke kom ac oakiya eot se ma safla uh, mwet uh fah sala ac fahk, “Arulana wo! Arulana wo!”
What art thou, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain! And he shall bring forth the corner-stone amid shoutings, [[The people crying, ]] “Grace, grace be to it!”
8 Sie pac kas sin LEUM GOD tuku nu sik.
Moreover, the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
9 El fahk, “Zerubbabel el oakiya tari pwelung lun Tempul, ac el ac aksafyela musa kac uh. Pacl se ma inge ac orekla uh, na mwet luk uh ac fah etu lah nga pa supwekom nu selos uh.
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 to you.
10 Elos ac toasrla mweyen tia yohk ma orekla uh. Tusruktu ke elos ac liyal Zerubbabel lah el srakna musai Tempul, na elos ac fah engan.” Na lipufan sac fahk nu sik, “Lam itkosr inge pa muta itkosr lun LEUM GOD, su liye faclu nufon.”
For who hath despised the day of small things? With joy shall the plummet be seen in the hand of Zerubbabel by those seven; they are the eyes of Jehovah, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
11 Na nga siyuk sel, “Mea kalmen sak olive lukwa ma oan lac lac ke sukan lam uh?
Then I spake and said to him, What mean these two olive-trees, upon the right side of the chandelier and upon the left side thereof?
12 Ac mea kalmen lesak olive luo sisken paip gold lukwa ma oil in olive uh soror kac uh?”
And I spake the second time, and said to him, What mean these two olive-branches, which are by the side of the two golden tubes which empty the golden oil out of themselves?
13 Ac el siyuk sik, “Mea, kom nikin?” Ac nga fahk, “Leum luk, nga tiana etu.”
And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these mean? And I said, No, my lord.
14 Na el fahk, “Mwet luo inge pa God El sulela ac mosrwela in kulansupu Leum God lun faclu nufon.”
And he said, These are the two anointed ones that stand before the Lord of all the earth.
