Zechariah 4

1 Hijou chun kakihoupi Vantil chu ahung kile kitin a-ihmu bangin eihin sukhangin ahi.

And the angel that talked with me returned, and awakened me, as when a man is awakened out of his sleep.

2 Tuahi ipi namum tin eidong in ahi, keiman ka donbut nin, sanna ngenna kisem thaomei tunna achunga thaotwi khonkhat akitun kamui kati. Hiche khon vella chun thaomei sagi aum in khat cheh chun avahna patjang khat neicheh ahom sagi aummin ahi.

And he said to me, What see you? And I said, I have seen, and behold a candlestick all of gold, and its bowl upon it, and seven lamps upon it, and seven oil funnels to the lamps upon it:

3 Chuleh keiman hiche khon langte achun Olive thing ni kamun ahi.

and two olive-trees above it, one on the right of the bowl, and one on the left.

4 Hijou chun keiman Vantil chu ka dong in Pakai hiche hohi ipi tina ham? katin ahileh,

And I enquired, and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these things, [my] lord?

5 Vantil chun na hetlou ham tin eidong in ahileh keiman ka hepoi ka Pakai katin ahi.

And the angel that talked with me answered, and spoke to me, saying, Know you not what these things are? And I said, No, [my] lord.

6 Hijou chun aman ei seipeh in, “Hiche hi Pakaiyin Zerubbabel komma asei chu ahi, hunamma natoh naleh thahat vanga hilou ding amavang keima Lhagao vanga hiding ahibouve, tin thaneipen Pakaiyin aseijin ahi.

And he answered and spoke to me, saying, This is the word of the Lord to Zorobabel, saying, Not by mighty power, nor by strength, but by my Spirit, says the Lord Almighty.

7 Imachan nang jou lou ding, mol sangpen jeng in jong Zerubbabel lampi chu asuh tang jou lou ding ama masanga chu phaicham sohjeng ding ahi. Zerubbabel hin houin semphatna a achaina song asettoh phattengleh, mipihon Pathen in phattheiboh hen, Pathen in phattheiboh hen!” tia asapdiu ahi.

Who are you, the great mountain before Zorobabel, that you should prosper? whereas I will bring out the stone of the inheritance, the grace of it the equal of [my ] grace.

8 Hijeh chun Pakaija kon nin thupeh chomkhat ahung lhung kit-in,

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

9 Zerubbabal hi Hou-in aleibul ana tungdoh a chu ahin, aman asahchai ding ahi. Hiteng chuleh hatchungnung Pakai chun eihin sol ahi ti na het diu ahi.

The hands of Zorobabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands shall finish it: and you shall know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you.

10 Natoh ahina ding banga amachal lou jeh in alungthoi’un ahi, ahinla Zerubbabel hin houin asah chu atoh jom amuteng uleh kipah tauvinte. Thaomei sagi kiti hin Pakai mit-in vannoi leiset pumpi akholsoh vetsahna ahi.

For who has despised the small days? surely they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet of tin in the hand of Zorobabel: these are the seven eyes that look upon all the earth.

11 Hijou chun keiman vantil chu ka dong in, hiche thaomei khom pang tenia Olive thingphung nihi ipi tina hintem,

And I answered, and said to him, What are these two olive-trees, which are on the right and left hand of the candlestick?

12 Thaotwi kisun lhah naji sana luong teni komma Olive thingbah teni khun ipi asatsat hin tem? kati.

And I asked the second time, and said to him, What are the two branches of the olive-trees that are by the side of the two golden pipes that pour into and communicate with the golden oil funnels?

13 Aman eidong in na hetlou ham eiti. Keiman ka donbut in ka hepoi Pakai kati.

And he said to me, Know you not what these are? and I said, No, [my] lord.

14 Hichun aman, “Hiche hin thao kinusa leiset pumpi Pakai laltouna komma ding jing van mi teni chu avetsah ahi”ati.

And he said, These are the two anointed ones [that] stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
