Sekaryaah 4

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

And once more the messenger who was speaking with me, roused me up, just as a man might be roused up out of his 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.

Then said he unto me, What canst thou see? And I said—I have looked, and lo! a Lampstand—all of gold, with the Bowl thereof upon the top thereof, and its Seven Lamps upon it, Seven Pipes each, to the lamps which are upon the top thereof;

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.

and, Two Olive-trees, by it, —one upon the right hand of the bowl, and one upon the left hand thereof.

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

Then responded I, and said unto the messenger who was speaking with me, saying, —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.

Then answered the messenger who was speaking with me, and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these, are? And I said, No my lord.

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 responded he, and spake unto me, saying, This, is the word of Yahweh, unto Zerubbabel, saying, —Not by wealth, nor by strength, but by my spirit, saith Yahweh of hosts.

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.

Who, art, thou, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel, [brought down] to a plain! So shall he bring forth the headstone, with thundering shouts Beautiful! Beautiful! thereunto.

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

Then came the word of Yahweh unto me, saying:

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

The hands of Zerubbabel, have founded this house, and, his hands, shall finish it, —So shalt thou know that, Yahweh of hosts, hath sent me unto you.

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 hath despised the day of small things? Yet shall they rejoice, when they see the plummet-stone in the hand of Zerubbabel, —these seven! The eyes of Yahweh, they are—running to and fro throughout all the earth.

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 responded I, and said unto him, —What are these two olive-trees, upon the right of the lampstand, and upon the left thereof?

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 responded a second time, and said unto him, —What are the two branches of the olive- trees which join the two golden tubes, which empty out of them the golden oil?

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

And he spake unto me, saying, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

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

Then said he, These, are the two Anointed Ones, —who stand near the Lord of all the earth.
