< Zechariah 4 >

1 Lipufan se ma sramsram nu sik ah sifilpa tuku ac okasyuyak, oana in mu nga motul.
The angel who talked with me came again and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep.
2 Ac el siyuk, “Oasr ma kom liye?” Ac nga fahk, “Nga liye soko sukan lam orekla ke gold, ac pol in neinyuk oil se oan oelucng. Oasr lam itkosr oan fin sukan lam soko ah, kais sie oasr acn sin wik itkosr kac.
He said to me, “What do you see?” I said, “I have seen, and behold, a lamp stand all of gold, with its bowl on the top of it, and its seven lamps on it; there are seven pipes to each of the lamps which are on the top of it;
3 Oasr sak olive lukwa sisken sukan lam sac, soko oan lac ac soko oan layen ngia.”
and two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on the left side of it.”
4 Na nga siyuk sin lipufan sac, “Leum luk, mea kalmen ma inge?”
I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?”
5 Na el siyuk sik, “Mea, kom nikin?” Ac nga fahk, “Nga nikinna.”
Then the angel who talked with me answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?” I said, “No, my lord.”
6 Lipufan sac fahk nu sik nga in sang nu sel Zerubbabel kas sin LEUM GOD inge: “Ma nukewa kom oru ac fah fahla wo, tia ke ku lun mwet mweun ku ke ku lom sifacna, a ke ku lun ngunik.
Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, “This is the LORD’s word to Zerubbabel, saying, ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD of Armies.
7 Mwe kutong na yohk ac fulat oana fineol, fah wanginla ye motom. Kom ac fah sifil musaela Tempul uh, ac ke kom ac oakiya eot se ma safla uh, mwet uh fah sala ac fahk, “Arulana wo! Arulana wo!”
Who are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you are a plain; and he will bring out the capstone with shouts of ‘Grace, grace, to it!’”
8 Sie pac kas sin LEUM GOD tuku nu sik.
Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
9 El fahk, “Zerubbabel el oakiya tari pwelung lun Tempul, ac el ac aksafyela musa kac uh. Pacl se ma inge ac orekla uh, na mwet luk uh ac fah etu lah nga pa supwekom nu selos uh.
“The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands shall also finish it; and you will know that the LORD of Armies has sent me to you.
10 Elos ac toasrla mweyen tia yohk ma orekla uh. Tusruktu ke elos ac liyal Zerubbabel lah el srakna musai Tempul, na elos ac fah engan.” Na lipufan sac fahk nu sik, “Lam itkosr inge pa muta itkosr lun LEUM GOD, su liye faclu nufon.”
Indeed, who despises the day of small things? For these seven shall rejoice, and shall see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. These are the LORD’s eyes, which run back and forth through the whole earth.”
11 Na nga siyuk sel, “Mea kalmen sak olive lukwa ma oan lac lac ke sukan lam uh?
Then I asked him, “What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lamp stand and on the left side of it?”
12 Ac mea kalmen lesak olive luo sisken paip gold lukwa ma oil in olive uh soror kac uh?”
I asked him the second time, “What are these two olive branches, which are beside the two golden spouts that pour the golden oil out of themselves?”
13 Ac el siyuk sik, “Mea, kom nikin?” Ac nga fahk, “Leum luk, nga tiana etu.”
He answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?” I said, “No, my lord.”
14 Na el fahk, “Mwet luo inge pa God El sulela ac mosrwela in kulansupu Leum God lun faclu nufon.”
Then he said, “These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.”
