Sakaria 4
1 Afei ɔbɔfo a ɔne me kasae no san nʼakyi benyan me, sɛnea wonyan obi fi ne nna mu no.
And the angel that talked with me came again, and awaked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep,
2 Obisaa me se, “Dɛn na wuhu yi?” Mibuae se, “Mihu kaneadua a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ayɛ a kuruwa si so, na akanea ason a biara wɔ ne dorobɛn sisi so.
and said to me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold, a chandelier all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps upon it, and seven pipes to the seven lamps which are upon the top of it;
3 Bio, ngonnua abien sisi ho, baako wɔ kuruwa no nifa so, na baako nso wɔ ne benkum so.”
and two olive-trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side of it.
4 Mibisaa ɔbɔfo a ɔne me kasae no se, “Eyinom yɛ dɛn, me wura?”
And I spake, and said to the angel that talked with me, What mean these, my lord?
5 Obuae se, “Wunnim nea eyinom yɛ ana?” Mekae se, “Dabi, me wura.”
Then the angel who talked with me answered and said to me, Knowest thou not what these mean? And I said, No, my lord.
6 Enti ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Eyi ne Awurade asɛm a ɔde rekɔma Serubabel: ‘Ɛnyɛ tumi so, na ɛnyɛ ahoɔden so, na mmom, ɛnam me Honhom so,’ sɛnea Asafo Awurade se ni.
Then he answered and spake to me, saying, This is the word of Jehovah to Zerubbabel, saying: — Not by might, nor by power, But by my spirit, Saith Jehovah of hosts.
7 “Woyɛ dɛn, bepɔw kɛse ana? Serubabel anim no wobɛyɛ asase tamaa. Afei ɔde abo afɛɛfɛ no bɛba abehyia osebɔ se, ‘Onyankopɔn nhyira so! Onyankopɔn nhyira so!’”
What art thou, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain! And he shall bring forth the corner-stone amid shoutings, [[The people crying, ]] “Grace, grace be to it!”
8 Na Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se:
Moreover, the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
9 “Serubabel nsa na ato asɔredan yi fapem, ne nsa nso na ebewie. Na mubehu sɛ, Asafo Awurade na wasoma me mo nkyɛn.
The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands shall finish it. And thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me to you.
10 “Hena na obu nneɛma nketenkete mfiaseda animtiaa? Sɛ nnipa hu sɛ Serubabel kura kirebennyɛ susudua no a, wɔn ani begye. “(Saa ani ason yi yɛ Awurade ani a ɛhwɛ wiase mmaa nyinaa.)”
For who hath despised the day of small things? With joy shall the plummet be seen in the hand of Zerubbabel by those seven; they are the eyes of Jehovah, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
11 Na mibisaa ɔbɔfo no se, “Saa ngonnua abien no a esisi kaneadua no nifa ne benkum no yɛ dɛn?”
Then I spake and said to him, What mean these two olive-trees, upon the right side of the chandelier and upon the left side thereof?
12 Na mibisaa no bio se, “Ngodua mman abien a ehwie ngo a ani yɛ akokɔsrade fa sikakɔkɔɔ dorobɛn abien no mu no yɛ dɛn?”
And I spake the second time, and said to him, What mean these two olive-branches, which are by the side of the two golden tubes which empty the golden oil out of themselves?
13 Obuae se, “Enti wunnim nea eyinom yɛ ana?” Mibuae se, “Dabi, me wura.”
And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these mean? And I said, No, my lord.
14 Nti ɔkae se, “Eyinom ne baanu a wɔasra wɔn ngo sɛ wɔnsom Awurade a odi wiase nyinaa so no.”
And he said, These are the two anointed ones that stand before the Lord of all the earth.
