Zekariya 4

1 Kenaka mngelo amene amayankhula nane anabwerera nandidzutsa, ngati mmene amadzutsira munthu amene ali mʼtulo.

And the aungel turnede ayen, that spak in me, and reiside me, as a man that is reisid of his sleep.

2 Anandifunsa kuti, “Kodi ukuona chiyani?” Ndinayankha kuti, “Ine ndikuona choyikapo nyale, chonse chagolide ndi mbale pamwamba pake ndi nyale zoyaka zisanu ndi ziwiri, iliyonse ili ndi zibowo zisanu ndi ziwiri zolowetsera zingwe zoyatsira.

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 Ndiponso pambali pake pali mitengo ya olivi iwiri, umodzi uli kumanja kwa mbaleyo ndipo winawo kumanzere.”

And twei olyues there onne, oon of the riythalf `of the laumpe, and `an other on the left half therof.

4 Ndinamufunsa mngelo amene amayankhula nane kuti, “Kodi zimenezi nʼchiyani mbuye wanga?”

And Y answeride, and seide to the aungel that spak in me, and Y seide, What ben these thingis, my lord?

5 Iye anandiyankha kuti, “Kodi iwe sukuzidziwa zimenezi?” Ndinayankha kuti, “Ayi mbuye wanga.”

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 Choncho iye anandiwuza kuti, “Mawu a Yehova kwa Zerubabeli ndi awa: ‘Osati mwa nkhondo kapena ndi mphamvu, koma ndi Mzimu wanga,’ akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.

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 “Kodi ndiwe yani, iwe phiri lamphamvu? Pamaso pa Zerubabeli udzasanduka dziko losalala. Pamenepo adzabweretsa mwala wotsiriza. Akamadzawuyika pamwamba anthu adzafuwula kuti, ‘Mulungu adalitse Nyumbayi! Mulungu adalitse Nyumbayi!’”

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 Ndipo Yehova anayankhulanso nane kuti,

And the word of the Lord was maad to me,

9 “Manja a Zerubabeli ndiwo ayika maziko a Nyumbayi; adzatsiriza ndi manja ake omwewo. Pamenepo iwe udzadziwa kuti Yehova Wamphamvuzonse ndiye anakutuma.

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 “Ndani wanyoza tsiku la zinthu zazingʼono? Anthu adzasangalala akadzaona chingwe choyezera mʼmanja mwa Zerubabeli. (“Nyale zisanu ndi ziwirizi ndi maso a Yehova, amene amayangʼanayangʼana pa dziko lapansi.”)

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 Kenaka ndinafunsa mngelo uja kuti, “Kodi mitengo ya olivi iwiri ili kumanja ndi kumanzere kwa choyikapo nyalechi ikutanthauza chiyani?”

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 Ndinamufunsanso kuti, “Kodi nthambi ziwiri za mtengo wa olivi zomwe zili pambali pa mipopi yodzera mafuta iwiri yagolide zikutanthauza chiyani?”

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 Iye anandiyankha kuti, “Kodi iwe sukuzidziwa zimenezi?” Ine ndinati, “Ayi mbuye wanga.”

And he seide to me, and spak, Whether thou woost not what ben these thingis?

14 Choncho iye anati, “Amenewa ndi anthu awiri amene adzozedwa kuti atumikire Ambuye pa dziko lonse lapansi.”

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.
