Zekariah 4

1 To naah kai khae lokthui van kami loe amlaem moe, iip kami pathawk baktih toengah, kai to ang pathawk.

And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.

2 Anih mah, Timaw na hnuk? tiah ang naa. Kai mah, ka khet naah, a nuiah hmai im kaom, sui hoi sak ih hmaithawk paanghaih tung sarihto, a nuiah hmai im sarihto hoi hmaithawk hmai sarihto:

And said unto me, What see you? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:

3 hmai im taeng bantang bangah maeto, banqoi bangah maeto kaom, Olive thing hnetto ka hnuk, tiah ka naa.

And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.

4 Kai hoi lokpae van kami khaeah, Ka angraeng, hae hmuennawk loe tih thuih koehhaih ih maw? tiah ka naa.

So I answered and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?

5 Kai hoi lokpae van kami mah kai khaeah, Hae hmuennawk loe tih thuih koehhaih ih maw, tito na panoek ai maw? tiah ang naa. Kai mah, Ka panoek ai, angraeng, tiah ka naa.

Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Know you not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.

6 To pongah anih mah kai khaeah, Zerubabel khaeah angzo Angraeng ih lok loe hae tiah oh; hae hmuen loe thacakhaih hoiah om ai, sak thaihaih hoiah doeh om ai, ka Muithla rang hoiah ni om tih, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih.

Then he answered and spoke unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, says the LORD of hosts.

7 Aw kalen pui mae nang loe tiah maw na oh? Nang loe Zerubabel hma ah tangtling ah na om tih: tahmenhaih, tahmenhaih, tiah hanghaih hoiah lokpui koek im takii ih thlung to anih mah sin tih, tiah ang naa.

Who are you, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.

8 To naah Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,

Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

9 hae im loe Zerubbabel ih ban hoiah sak amtong boeh, a ban hoiah ni sak pacoengah om tih: to naah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, nangcae khaeah kai ang patoeh, tito na panoek o tih.

The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me unto you.

10 Hae hmuen tetta patoek kami loe mi maw? Hae sarihtonawk mah Zerubabel ban ih tahhaih qui to hnuk o naah anghoe o tih; to sarihtonawk loe Angraeng ih mik ah oh o, to miknawk loe ahnuk ahma long pum ah caeh o.

For who has despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run back and forth through the whole earth.

11 To naah kai mah anih khaeah, Hmaithawk paaanghaih bantang bang hoi banqoi bangah kaom Olive thing hnetto loe tih thuih koehhaih ih maw? tiah ka dueng.

Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?

12 To pacoengah anih khaeah, Sui moithawk hmaitui paekhaih sui tuicawn hnetto taengah kaom Olive thing tanghang hnetto loe tih thuih koehhaih ih maw? tiah ka dueng let bae.

And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?

13 Anih mah kai khaeah, Hae hmuennawk thuih koehhaih to na panoek ai maw? tiah ang naa. Kai mah, Ka panoek ai, angraeng, tiah ka naa.

And he answered me and said, Know you not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.

14 To pongah anih mah, Hae hnik loe long pum ukkung Angraeng taengah kangdoe, situi nok ih kami hnik ni, tiah ang naa.

Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the LORD of the whole earth.
