Sakaria 4
1 Afei, ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔne me kasaeɛ no sanee nʼakyi bɛnyanee me, sɛdeɛ wɔnyane obi firi ne nna mu no.
And the aungel turnede ayen, that spak in me, and reiside me, as a man that is reisid of his sleep.
2 Ɔbisaa me sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na wohunu yi?” Mebuaa sɛ, “Mehunu kaneadua a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ayɛ a kuruwa si so, na nkanea nson a ebiara wɔ ne dorobɛn sisi so.
And he seide to me, What seest thou? And Y seide, Y saiy, and lo! a candilstike al of gold, and the laumpe therof on the heed therof, and seuene lanternes therof on it, and seuene vessels for to holde oyle to the lanternes, that weren on the heed therof.
3 Bio, ngo nnua mmienu sisi ho, baako wɔ kuruwa no nifa so, ɛna baako nso wɔ ne benkum so.”
And twei olyues there onne, oon of the riythalf `of the laumpe, and `an other on the left half therof.
4 Mebisaa ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔne me kasaeɛ no sɛ, “Yeinom yɛ ɛdeɛn, me wura?”
And Y answeride, and seide to the aungel that spak in me, and Y seide, What ben these thingis, my lord?
5 Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Wonnim deɛ yeinom yɛ anaa?” Mekaa sɛ, “Dabi, me wura.”
And the aungel that spak in me, answeride, and seide to me, Whether thou woist not what ben these thingis? And Y seide, No, my lord.
6 Enti ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Yei ne Awurade asɛm a ɔde rekɔma Serubabel: ‘Ɛnyɛ tumi so, na ɛnyɛ ahoɔden nso so, na mmom, ɛnam me Honhom so,’ sɛdeɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie.
And he answeride, and seide to me, and spak, This is the word of the Lord, seiynge to Sorobabel, Not in oost, nether in strengthe, but in my spirit, seith the Lord of oostis.
7 “Woyɛ ɛdeɛn, Ao bepɔ kɛseɛ? Wobɛyɛ asase tamaa wɔ Serubabel anim. Afei ɔde aboɔ fɛfɛ no bɛba abɛhyia osebɔ sɛ, ‘Onyankopɔn nhyira so! Onyankopɔn nhyira so!’”
Who art thou, greet hil, bifore Sorobabel in to pleyn? and he schal lede out the firste stoon, and schal make euene grace to grace therof.
8 Na Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
And the word of the Lord was maad to me,
9 “Ɛnam Serubabel nsa so na wɔtoo asɔredan yi fapem, na ɛnam ne nsa so na wɔbɛwie. Na mobɛhunu sɛ, Asafo Awurade na wasoma me mo nkyɛn.
and seide, The hondis of Sorobabel foundiden this hous, and the hondis of hym schulen perfourme it; and ye schulen wite, that the Lord of oostis sente me to you.
10 “Hwan na ɔbu nneɛma nketenkete mfiaseɛ ɛda animtiaa? Sɛ nnipa hunu sɛ Serubabel kura kyirebenn susu ahoma no a, wɔn ani bɛgye. “(Saa ani nson yi yɛ Awurade ani a ɛhwɛ ewiase afanan nyinaa.)”
Who forsothe dispiside litle daies? and thei schulen be glad, and schulen se a stoon of tyn in the hond of Sorobabel. These ben seuene iyen of the Lord, that rennen aboute in to al erthe.
11 Na mebisaa ɔbɔfoɔ no sɛ, “Saa ngo nnua mmienu no a ɛsisi kanea dua no nifa ne benkum no yɛ ɛdeɛn?”
And Y answeride, and seide to hym, What ben these tweyne olyues on the riythalf of the candilstike, and at the lift-half therof?
12 Na mebisaa no bio sɛ, “Ngodua mman mmienu a ɛhwie ngo a ani yɛ akokɔsradeɛ fa sikakɔkɔɔ dorobɛn mmienu no mu no yɛ ɛdeɛn?”
And Y answeryde the secounde tyme, and seide to hym, What ben the tweyne eeris, ether ripe fruyt, of olyues, that ben bisidis the twei bilis of gold, in whiche ben oile vesselis of gold?
13 Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Enti wonnim deɛ yeinom yɛ anaa?” Mebuaa sɛ, “Dabi, me wura.”
And he seide to me, and spak, Whether thou woost not what ben these thingis?
14 Nti ɔkaa sɛ, “Yeinom ne mmienu a wɔasra wɔn ngo sɛ wɔnsom Awurade a ɔdi ewiase nyinaa so.”
And Y seide, No, my lord. And he seide, These ben twei sones of oile of schynyng, whiche stonden nyy to the lordli gouernour of al erthe.
