< Zechariah 4 >

1 Angẹli tí ó ń bá mi sọ̀rọ̀ sì tún dé, ó sì jí mi, bí ọkùnrin tí a jí lójú oorun rẹ̀,
And the messenger who is speaking with me turns back, and stirs me up as one who is stirred up out of his sleep,
2 ó sì wí fún mi pé, “Kí ni ìwọ rí?” Mo sì wí pé, “Mo wò, sì kíyèsi i, ọ̀pá fìtílà tí gbogbo rẹ̀ jẹ́ wúrà, pẹ̀lú àwokòtò rẹ̀ lórí rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú fìtílà méje rẹ̀ lórí rẹ̀, àti ẹnu méje fún fìtílà méjèèje, tí ó wà lórí rẹ̀.
and he says to me, “What are you seeing?” And I say, “I have looked, and behold, a lampstand of gold—all of it, and its bowl [is] on its top, and its seven lamps [are] on it, and twice seven pipes [are] to the lights that [are] on its top,
3 Igi olifi méjì sì wà létí rẹ̀, ọ̀kan ní apá ọ̀tún àwokòtò náà, àti èkejì ní apá òsì rẹ̀.”
and two olive-trees [are] by it, one on the right of the bowl and one on its left.”
4 Mo sì dáhùn mo sì wí fún angẹli tí ó ń bá mi sọ̀rọ̀, pé, “Kín ni wọ̀nyí, olúwa mi?”
And I answer and speak to the messenger who is speaking with me, saying, “What [are] these, my lord?”
5 Angẹli tí ó ń bá mi sọ̀rọ̀ dáhùn ó sì wí fún mi pé, “Ìwọ kò mọ ohun tí àwọn wọ̀nyí jásí?” Mo sì wí pé, “Èmi kò mọ̀ ọ́n, olúwa mi.”
And the messenger who is speaking with me answers and says to me, “Have you not known what these [are]?” And I say, “No, my lord.”
6 Ó sì dáhùn ó sì wí fún mi pé, “Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sí Serubbabeli tó wí pé: ‘Kì í ṣe nípa ipá, kì í ṣe nípa agbára, bí kò ṣe nípa Ẹ̀mí mi,’ ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí.
And he answers and speaks to me, saying, “This [is] a word of YHWH to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by a force, nor by power, But—by My Spirit, said YHWH of Hosts.
7 “Ta ni ìwọ, ìwọ òkè ńlá? Ìwọ yóò di pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ níwájú Serubbabeli: òun yóò sì fi ariwo mú òkúta téńté orí rẹ̀ wá, yóò máa kígbe wí pé, ‘Ọlọ́run bùkún fun! Ọlọ́run bùkún fun!’”
Who [are] you, O great mountain Before Zerubbabel—for a plain! And he has brought forth the top-stone, Cries of Grace, grace—[are] to it.”
8 Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tọ̀ mí wá, wí pé:
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
9 “Ọwọ́ Serubbabeli ni a ti ṣe ìpìlẹ̀ ilé yìí, ọwọ́ rẹ̀ ni yóò sì parí rẹ̀; ìwọ yóò sì mọ̀ pé, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni ó rán mi sí i yín.
“Hands of Zerubbabel founded this house, And his hands finish it, And you have known that YHWH of Hosts Has sent Me to you.
10 “Ṣùgbọ́n ta ni ha kẹ́gàn ọjọ́ ohun kékeré? Nítorí wọn ó yọ̀ nígbà ti wọ́n bá rí okùn ìwọ̀n nì lọ́wọ́ Serubbabeli. “(Àwọn méje wọ̀nyí ni àwọn ojú Olúwa, tí ó ń sáré síyìn-ín sọ́hùn-ún ní gbogbo ayé.)”
For who trampled on the day of small things, They have rejoiced, And seen the tin weight in the hand of Zerubbabel, These seven [are] the eyes of YHWH, They are going to and fro in all the land.”
11 Mo sì béèrè, mo sì sọ fún un pé, “Kí ni àwọn igi olifi méjì wọ̀nyí jásí, tí ó wà ní apá ọ̀tún fìtílà àti ní apá òsì rẹ̀?”
And I answer and say to him, “What [are] these two olive-trees, on the right of the lampstand, and on its left?”
12 Mo sì tún dáhùn, mo sì sọ fún un pé, “Kí ni àwọn ẹ̀ka méjì igi olifi wọ̀nyí jásí, tí ń tú òróró wúrà jáde nínú ara wọn láti ẹnu ọ̀pá oníhò wúrà méjì.”
And I answer a second time, and say to him, “What [are] the two branches of the olive trees that, by means of the two golden pipes, are emptying out of themselves the oil?”
13 Ó sì dáhùn, ó wí fún mi pé, “Ìwọ kò mọ ohun tí àwọn wọ̀nyí jásí?” Mo sì wí pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, olúwa à mi.”
And he speaks to me, saying, “Have you not known what these [are]?” And I say, “No, my lord.”
14 Ó sì wí pé, “Àwọn méjì wọ̀nyí ni àwọn tí a fi òróró yàn, tí ó dúró ti Olúwa gbogbo ayé.”
And he says, “These [are] the two sons of the oil, who are standing by the Lord of the whole earth.”
