Sekaryaah 4

1 Oo haddana malaggii ila hadlay ayaa i toosiyey, sidii nin hurdo laga soo toosiyey.

Then the angel I had been talking to returned and got my attention, like waking someone from sleep.

2 Oo wuxuu igu yidhi, War maxaad aragtaa? Oo aniguna waxaan idhi, Waxaan arkaa oo u jeedaa laambad wada dahab ah, oo maddiibaddeedana iyaday kor sarantahay, oo toddobadeeda laambadood ee yaryarna way kor yaalliin, oo waxaa jira toddobada tuubbo oo ku socota laambad yar oo kasta oo ku kor taal.

“What do you see?” he asked me. “I see a lampstand made of solid gold with a bowl at its top having seven lamps on it, each with seven lips.

3 Oo agteedana waxaa ku yaal laba geed oo saytuun ah, oo mid wuxuu ku yaal maddiibadda dhankeeda midig, oo kan kalena wuxuu ku yaal maddiibadda dhankeeda bidix.

I also see olive trees, one to the right and one to the left of the bowl.”

4 Oo anna waan jawaabay oo la hadlay malaggii ila hadlay oo waxaan ku idhi, Sayidkaygiiyow, waa maxay kuwanu?

Then I asked the angel I was talking to, “What are these, my lord?”

5 Markaasaa malaggii ila hadlay jawaabay oo wuxuu igu yidhi, War miyaadan aqoon waxa kuwanu yihiin? Oo anna waxaan ku idhi, Maya, sayidkaygiiyow.

“Don't you know what these are?” the angel replied. “No, my lord,” I responded.

6 Markaasuu jawaabay oo ila hadlay, oo wuxuu igu yidhi, Kanu waa eraygii Rabbigu u soo diray Serubaabel, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Rabbigii ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Itaal kuma aha, xoogna kuma aha, laakiinse waxay ku tahay ruuxayga.

Then he told me, “This is the Lord's message to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, says the Lord Almighty.

7 Buurtan weynay, kumaad tahay? Serubaabel hortiisa waxaad ku noqon doontaa bannaan. Oo isna wuxuu soo bixin doonaa dhagaxa madaxa ah isagoo dhawaaqaya oo leh, Ammaan ha u ahaato, ammaan ha u ahaato.

Even obstacles as big as mountains will be flattened before Zerubbabel. Finally he will bring out the capstone to shouts of ‘Blessings on it!’”

8 Oo weliba waxaa ii yimid Eraygii Rabbiga, oo wuxuu igu yidhi,

Then the Lord gave me another message.

9 Serubaabel gacmihiisa ayaa dhigay gurigan aasaaskiisa, oo weliba gacmihiisaa dhammayn doona, oo waxaad ogaan doontaa in Rabbiga ciidammadu ii soo kaa diray.

Zerubbabel with his own hands laid the foundations for this Temple, and it will be completed the same way. Then you will know the Lord Almighty has sent me.

10 Waayo, bal yaa quudhsaday maalinta waxyaalaha yaryar? Waayo, iyagu way rayrayn doonaan, oo waxay arki doonaan xadhigga miisaanka oo ku jira gacanta Serubaabel, waana toddobadan oo ah indhihii Rabbiga. Iyagu dhulka oo dhan ayay hore iyo dibba u fiiriyaan.

For who dares look down on this time of small beginnings? They will be happy when they see the plumb line in Zerubbabel's hand. “The seven lamps represent the eyes of the Lord which see all over the world.”

11 Markaasaan jawaabay, oo waxaan isagii ku idhi, Waa maxay labadan geed oo saytuunka ah oo ku yaal laambadda dhankeeda midig iyo dhankeeda bidixba?

Then I asked the angel, “What are the two olive trees that stand to the right and the left of the lampstand?”

12 Oo haddana mar labaad baan jawaabay oo waxaan ku idhi, Waa maxay labadan laamood oo saytuunka ah oo ku ag yaal labada tuubbo oo dahabka ah oo saliidda dahabka ah iska madhiya?

And I also asked him, “What are the two olive branches from which the golden oil pours out from through golden pipes?”

13 Oo isna wuu ii jawaabay oo wuxuu igu yidhi, War miyaadan aqoon waxa kuwanu yihiin? Oo anna waxaan ku idhi, Maya, sayidkaygiiyow.

“Don't you know?” the angel replied. “No, my lord,” I responded.

14 Oo isna kolkaasuu igu yidhi, Kuwanu waa labada la subkay oo ag istaaga Sayidka dhulka oo dhan.

“These are the two who have been anointed who stand by the Lord of all the earth,” he replied.
