Hakaraia 4
1 Na ka hoki mai te anahera i korero ra ki ahau, ka whakaarahia ahau, ko toku rite kei te tangata e whakaarahia ana i te moe.
And the angel who had been speaking with me returned, and he awakened me, like a man who is awakened from his sleep.
2 Na ka mea ia ki ahau, Ko te aha e kitea ana e koe? Ano ra ko ahau, Kua kite ahau, na, ko tetahi turanga rama, he koura katoa, me tona peihana i tona pito ki runga, ko ona rama e whitu ki runga o tera; e whitu nga korere o te rama kotahi i tona pi to ki runga;
And he said to me, “What do you see?” And I said, “I looked, and behold, a candlestick entirely in gold, and its lamp was at its top, and seven oil lamps of it were upon it, and there were seven funnels for the oil lamps that were at its top.
3 Na e rua nga oriwa i tona taha, ko tetahi i te taha ki matau o te peihana, ko tetahi i tona taha maui.
And there were two olive trees upon it: one to the right of the lamp, and one to its left.”
4 Na ka oho atu ahau, ka mea ki te anahera i korero ki ahau, ka ki atu, He aha enei, e toku ariki?
And I answered and spoke to the angel who was speaking with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?”
5 Katahi te anahera i korero ra ki ahau ka oho, ka mea ki ahau, Kahore ranei koe e mohio he aha enei? Ano ra ko ahau, Kahore, e toku ariki.
And the angel who was speaking with me answered, and he said to me, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.”
6 Na ka oho mai ia, ka korero ki ahau, ka mea, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa ki a Herupapera, e ki ana: Ehara i te mea ma te uaua, ma te kaha, engari ma toku wairua, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.
And he answered and spoke to me, saying: This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying: Not by an army, nor by might, but in my spirit, says the Lord of hosts.
7 Ko wai koe, e te maunga nui? i te aroaro o Herupapera hei papatairite koe: a ka whakaputaina mai e ia te kohatu o runga rawa, me te pa ano nga karanga, He pai, he pai mona.
What are you, great mountain, in the sight of Zerubbabel? You are among the plains. And he will lead out the primary stone, and he will give equal grace to its grace.
8 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
9 Na nga ringa o Herupapera i whakatakoto te turanga mo tenei whare, ma ona ringa ano e whakaoti; a ka mohio koe na Ihowa o nga mano ahau i unga mai ki a koutou.
The hand of Zerubbabel has founded this house, and his hands will complete it. And you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you.
10 Ko wai oti i whakahawea ki te ra o nga mea ririki? ka koa hoki ratou, ka kite hoki i te kohatu paramu i roto i te ringa o Herupapera, ara enei e whitu nei, koia nei nga kanohi o Ihowa; e kopikopiko ana ratou i te whenua katoa.
For who has despised the little days? And they will rejoice and will see the silver and lead stone in the hand of Zerubbabel. These are the seven eyes of the Lord, which roam quickly through all the earth.
11 Katahi ahau ka oho atu, ka mea ki a ia, He aha enei oriwa e rua i te taha ki matau o te turanga rama, i te taha hoki ki maui?
And I responded and said to him, “What are these two olive trees to the right of the candlestick, and to its left?”
12 I whakahoki atu ano ahau, he tuarua, ka mea ki a ia, He aha enei manga oriwa e rua, e rua nga korere koura i piri atu ai raua, i rere atu ai te hinu koura i roto i aua korere ra?
And I responded a second time and said to him, “What are the two olive branches, which are next to the two golden ridges, in which are the pouring spouts of gold?”
13 Katahi tera ka korero mai ki ahau, ka mea, Kahore ranei koe e mohio ko te aha enei? Ano ra ko ahau, Kahore, e toku ariki.
And he spoke to me, saying, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.”
14 Na ka ki mai ia, Ko enei e rua ko nga tama a te hinu, e tu ana i te taha o te Ariki o te whenua katoa.
And he said, “These are the two sons of oil, who attend before the Sovereign of all the earth.”
