Zekkaliya 4
1 Awo malayika eyali ayogera nange n’akomawo, n’anzuukusa ng’omuntu bw’azuukusibwa mu tulo.
The angel who talked with me came again, and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep.
2 N’ambuuza nti, “Kiki ky’olaba?” Ne muddamu nti, “Ndaba ekikondo ky’ettaala nga kyonna kya zaabu, nga waggulu kiriko n’akabakuli kaakwo, n’ettaala zaakwo omusanvu, nga buli ttaala eriko omumwa gwayo.
He said to me, "What do you see?" I said, "I have seen, and look, a lampstand all of gold, with its bowl on the top of it, and its seven lamps thereon; there are seven pipes to each of the lamps, which are on the top of it;
3 Era waliwo emiti emizeeyituuni ebiri ku mabbali gaakyo, ogumu ku mukono ogwa ddyo ogw’akabakuli, n’omulala ku mukono ogwa kkono.”
and two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on the left side of it."
4 Ne mbuuza malayika eyali ayogera nange nti, “Bino biki mukama wange?”
I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, "What are these, my lord?"
5 Malayika eyali ayogera nange n’addamu n’aŋŋamba nti, “Tobimanyi?” Ne muddamu nti, “Nedda mukama wange.”
Then the angel who talked with me answered me, "Do you not know what these are?" I said, "No, my lord."
6 Awo n’addamu n’aŋŋamba nti, “Kino kye kigambo kya Mukama eri Zerubbaberi: ‘Si lwa maanyi so si lwa buyinza naye lwa Mwoyo wange,’ bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye.
Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel, saying, 'Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD of hosts.
7 “Ggwe olusozi olunene weyita ki? Mu maaso ga Zerubbaberi olibeera lusenyi, era alireeta ejjinja erya waggulu mu mizira n’okwogerera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka ng’agamba nti, ‘Liweebwe omukisa, liweebwe omukisa!’”
Who are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you are a plain; and he will bring out the capstone with shouts of 'Grace, grace, to it.'"
8 Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira nga kyogera nti,
Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
9 “Emikono gya Zerubbaberi gitaddewo omusingi gwa yeekaalu eno era girigumaliriza, era olitegeera nti Mukama ow’Eggye ye yantuma gye muli.
"The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands shall also finish it; and you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you.
10 “Ani anyooma olunaku olw’ebintu ebitono? Abantu balijaguza, bwe baliraba ejjinja erigera mu mukono gwa Zerubbaberi. Gano omusanvu ge maaso ga Katonda agayitaayita mu nsi yonna.”
Indeed, who despises the day of small things? For these seven shall rejoice, and shall see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. These are the eyes of the LORD, which run back and forth through the whole earth."
11 Ne ndyoka mubuuza nti, “Emizeeyituuni gino ebiri ku mukono ogwa ddyo ne ku gwa kkono ogw’ekikondo ky’ettabaaza, gitegeeza ki?”
Then I asked him, "What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lampstand and on the left side of it?"
12 Ne nnyongera okumubuuza nti, “Gano amatabi abiri ag’emizeeyituuni agaliraanye emidumu gya zaabu ge gayitamu amafuta aga zaabu?”
I asked him the second time, "What are these two olive branches, which are beside the two golden spouts, that pour the golden oil out of themselves?"
13 N’anziramu nti, “Tobimanyi?” Ne njogera nti, “Nedda, mukama wange.”
He answered me, "Do you not know what these are?" I said, "No, my lord."
14 Awo n’addamu nti, “Abo be babiri abaafukibwako amafuta abaweereza Mukama ow’ensi yonna.”
Then he said, "These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth."
