Zakaria 4
1 Nibalik’ amy zao i anjely nisaontsy amakoy le nitsekafe’e, manahake ty fampivañonañe ‘ndaty miròtse.
And the angel that spoke in me came again: and he waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.
2 Le hoe re amako, Ino o oni’oo? Le hoe ty asako: Mahatrea fitàm-pailo volamena ki’e, reketse ty korobo ambone’e eo, ama’e ty failo fito; fito ty toiô’e, eka fito mb’amy failo fito ambone’e rey;
And he said to me: What seest thou? And I said: I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, and its lamp upon the top of it: and the seven lights thereof upon it: and seven funnels for the lights that were upon the top thereof.
3 naho hatae olive roe ty añ’ila’e, raike ankavana’ i koroboy, le raike ankavia’e.
And two olive trees over it: one upon the right side of the lamp, and the other upon the left side thereof.
4 Nañontaneako i anjely nifanaontsy amakoy, ty hoe: Inoñe o reroañeo, ry talèko?
And I answered, and said to the angel that spoke in me, saying: What are these things, my lord?
5 Le nanoiñe ahy i anjely nifanaontsy amakoy, ami’ty hoe: Tsy apota’o hao o retiañeo? Le hoe iraho: Aiy! talèko!
And the angel that spoke in me answered, and said to me: Knowest thou not what these things are? And I said: No, my lord.
6 Le hoe ty navale’ i anjeliy amako: Ty tsara’ Iehovà amy Zerobabele, manao ty hoe: Tsy an-kafatrarañe, tsy an-kaozarañe, fa an-Troko hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
And he answered, and spoke to me, saying: This is the word of the Lord to Zorobabel, saying: Not with an army, nor by might, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.
7 Ia v’iheo, ry haboañe aboo? ie aolo’ i Zerobabele eo ro hinjare tane-mira? le hendese’e boak’ ao ty vato-fampikatohañe, hikoikoike ty hoe, Fañisohañe, fañisohañe.
Who art thou, O great mountain, before Zorobabel? thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring out the chief stone, and shall give equal grace to the grace thereof.
8 Nimb’ amako indraike ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
9 Nampipetake o mananta’ ty anjomba toio o fità’ i Zerobabeleo, le o fità’eo ka ro hamonitse aze; vaho ho fohi’o te nañirak’ ahy ama’ areo t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
The hands of Zorobabel have laid the foundations of this house, and his hands shall finish it: and you shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me to you.
10 Ia ty nanirìka ty andron-draha pilipito’e? Ho isa’ iareo an-kafaleañe o talim-pahity am-pità’ i Zerobabeleo, toe o fito retoañe, o fihaino’ Iehovà manitsike ty tane toio mb’eo mb’eo.
For who hath despised little days? and they shall rejoice, and shall see the tin plummet in the hand of Zorobabel. These are the seven eyes of the Lord, that run to and fro through the whole earth.
11 Le nañontaneako ty hoe: Inoñ’ o hatae olive ankavana o fitàm-pailo naho ankavia’eo?
And I answered, and said to him: What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick, and upon the left side thereof?
12 Tinovoko fañindroe’e, ty hoe: Ino o singan’ olive roe añ’ila’ i toiò volamena roe rey, mañiliñe menake volamena boak’ ama’eo?
And I answered again, and said to him: What are the two olive branches, that are by the two golden beaks, in which are the funnels of gold?
13 Natoi’e ami’ty hoe: Tsy fohi’o hao t’ie inoñe? Le hoe ty natoiko: Aiy! ry taleko.
And he spoke to me, saying: Knowest thou not what these are? And I said: No, my lord.
14 Le hoe re tamako: Ie i roe norizañe ami'ty menake rey: ie mijohañe añ’ila’ i Talè’ ty tane toy eo.
And he said: These are two sons of oil who stand before the Lord of the whole earth.
