< Zakaria 4 >

1 Nibalik’ amy zao i anjely nisaontsy amakoy le nitsekafe’e, manahake ty fampivañonañe ‘ndaty miròtse.
And the angel that talked with me came again, and 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 said to me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick: all [of] gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which [were] upon the top of it.
3 naho hatae olive roe ty añ’ila’e, raike ankavana’ i koroboy, le raike ankavia’e.
And two olive-trees by it, one upon the right [side] of the bowl, and the other upon the left [side].
4 Nañontaneako i anjely nifanaontsy amakoy, ty hoe: Inoñe o reroañeo, ry talèko?
So I answered and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What [are] these, my lord?
5 Le nanoiñe ahy i anjely nifanaontsy amakoy, ami’ty hoe: Tsy apota’o hao o retiañeo? Le hoe iraho: Aiy! talèko!
Then the angel that talked with me answered and said to me, Knowest thou not what these 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.
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, 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 Zerubbabel [thou shalt become] a plain: and he shall bring forth [its] head-stone [with] shoutings, [crying], Grace, grace, to it.
8 Nimb’ amako in­draike ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
Moreover 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 Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt 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 the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel [with] those seven; they [are] the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
11 Le nañontaneako ty hoe: Inoñ’ o hatae oli­ve ankavana o fitàm-pailo naho an­ka­via’eo?
Then I answered, and said to him, What [are] these two olive-trees upon the right [side] of the candlestick and upon its left [side]?
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 these] two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden [oil] out of themselves?
13 Natoi’e ami’ty hoe: Tsy fohi’o hao t’ie inoñe? Le hoe ty natoiko: Aiy! ry taleko.
And he answered me and said, 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.
Then said he, These [are] the two anointed ones, that stand by the LORD of the whole earth.
