< 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 that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of 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 said unto 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 his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which [are] upon the top thereof:
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 two olive trees by it, one upon the right [side] of the bowl, and the other upon the left [side] thereof.
4 Na ka oho atu ahau, ka mea ki te anahera i korero ki ahau, ka ki atu, He aha enei, e toku ariki?
So I answered and spake to the angel that talked 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.
Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? 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.
Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This [is] the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith 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.
Who [art] thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel [thou shalt become] a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone [thereof with] shoutings, [crying], Grace, grace unto it.
8 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto 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 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 unto 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 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 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?
Then answered I, and said unto him, What [are] these two olive trees upon the right [side] of the candlestick and upon the left [side] thereof?
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 answered again, and said unto him, What [be these] two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden [oil] out of themselves?
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 answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these [be]? 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.
Then said he, These [are] the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
