< 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 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 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.
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 Igi olifi méjì sì wà létí rẹ̀, ọ̀kan ní apá ọ̀tún àwokòtò náà, àti èkejì ní apá òsì rẹ̀.”
and, Two Olive-trees, by it, —one upon the right hand of the bowl, and one upon the left hand thereof.
4 Mo sì dáhùn mo sì wí fún angẹli tí ó ń bá mi sọ̀rọ̀, pé, “Kín ni wọ̀nyí, olúwa mi?”
Then responded I, and said unto the messenger who was 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.”
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 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.
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 “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, 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 Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tọ̀ mí wá, wí pé:
Then came the word of Yahweh unto 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.
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 “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 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 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?”
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 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 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 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 spake unto me, saying, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, 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.”
Then said he, These, are the two Anointed Ones, —who stand near the Lord of all the earth.
