Zakari 4
1 Anjelu oyo azalaki kosolola na ngai azongaki mpe alamusaki ngai ndenge balamusaka moto oyo alali pongi.
And the angel that talked with me returned, and awakened me, as when a man is awakened out of his sleep.
2 Atunaki ngai: — Ozali komona nini? Nazongiselaki ye: — Nazali komona etelemiselo moko ya mwinda, basala na wolo mpe, na likolo na yango, ezali na kopo moko, minda sambo mpe batio sambo oyo elekisaka mafuta kino na minda.
And he said to me, What seest thou? And I said, I have seen, and behold a candlestick all of gold, and its bowl upon it, and seven lamps upon it, and seven oil funnels to the lamps upon it:
3 Ezali lisusu na banzete mibale ya olive pene ya etelemiselo ya minda: moko na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali, mpe mosusu na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi.
and two olive-trees above it, one on the right of the bowl, and one on the left.
4 Natunaki Anjelu oyo azalaki kosolola na ngai: — Nyonso oyo elakisi nini, nkolo na ngai?
And I inquired, and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these things, [my] lord?
5 Azongiselaki ngai: — Boni, oyebi te soki elingi kolakisa nini? Nazongiselaki ye: — Te, nkolo na ngai!
And the angel that talked with me answered, and spoke to me, saying, Knowest thou not what these things are? And I said, No, [my] lord.
6 Alobaki na ngai: — Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi na Zorobabeli: « Ezali na makasi to na nguya na yo te, kasi na nguya na Ngai, » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
And he answered and spoke to me, saying, This is the word of the Lord to Zorobabel, saying, Not by mighty power, nor by strength, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord Almighty.
7 Ozali nani, ngomba monene? Okokoma etando liboso ya Zorobabeli. Akobimisa libanga monene kati na yo, wana bato bakozala koganga na esengo: « Tika ete Nzambe apambola yango! Tika ete Nzambe apambola yango! »
Who art thou, the great mountain before Zorobabel, that thou shouldest prosper? whereas I will bring out the stone of the inheritance, the grace of it the equal of [my ] grace.
8 Bongo Yawe alobaki na ngai:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
9 — Ezali maboko ya Zorobabeli nde etongaki miboko ya Tempelo oyo; ezali mpe kaka maboko yango nde ekosilisa mosala ya kotonga yango. Boye bokoyeba solo ete Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, nde atindaki ngai epai na bino.
The hands of Zorobabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands shall finish it: and thou shalt know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to thee.
10 Nani atiolaki makambo mike ya ebandeli? Bato bakotonda na esengo tango bakomona, na maboko ya Zorobabeli, singa oyo bamekelaka molayi. Biloko wana sambo ezali nde miso ya Yawe oyo etalaka mokili mobimba.
For who has despised the small days? surely they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet of tin in the hand of Zorobabel: these are the seven eyes that look upon all the earth.
11 Natunaki Anjelu: — Banzete mibale ya olive oyo ezali na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali mpe ya mwasi ya etelemiselo ya minda elakisi nini?
And I answered, and said to him, What are these two olive-trees, which are on the right and left hand of the candlestick?
12 Natunaki ye lisusu: — Bitape mibale ya nzete ya olive, oyo ezali pembeni ya batio mibale ya wolo oyo ebimisaka mafuta oyo engalaka elakisi nini?
And I asked the second time, and said to him, What are the two branches of the olive-trees that are by the side of the two golden pipes that pour into and communicate with the golden oil funnels?
13 Azongiselaki ngai: — Boni, oyebi te soki elakisi nini? Nazongisaki: — Te, nkolo na ngai.
And he said to me, Knowest thou not what these are? and I said, No, [my] lord.
14 Boye, alobaki: — Ezali nde bato mibale oyo bapakolami mafuta mpo na kosalela Nkolo ya mokili mobimba.
And he said, These are the two anointed ones [that] stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
