< Zechariah 4 >

1 Then the angel who had been talking with me returned, and he called to me as though I had been asleep.
Oo haddana malaggii ila hadlay ayaa i toosiyey, sidii nin hurdo laga soo toosiyey.
2 He asked me, “What do you see?” I replied, “I see a lampstand [made] completely of gold. There is a small bowl [for olive oil] at the top, and there are seven [small] lamps around the bowl, and a place for a wick on each lamp.
Oo wuxuu igu yidhi, War maxaad aragtaa? Oo aniguna waxaan idhi, Waxaan arkaa oo u jeedaa laambad wada dahab ah, oo maddiibaddeedana iyaday kor sarantahay, oo toddobadeeda laambadood ee yaryarna way kor yaalliin, oo waxaa jira toddobada tuubbo oo ku socota laambad yar oo kasta oo ku kor taal.
3 Furthermore, I see two olive trees, one at the right side of the lampstand and one at the left side.”
Oo agteedana waxaa ku yaal laba geed oo saytuun ah, oo mid wuxuu ku yaal maddiibadda dhankeeda midig, oo kan kalena wuxuu ku yaal maddiibadda dhankeeda bidix.
4 I asked the angel who was talking with me, “Sir, what are these?”
Oo anna waan jawaabay oo la hadlay malaggii ila hadlay oo waxaan ku idhi, Sayidkaygiiyow, waa maxay kuwanu?
5 He replied, “Surely you know [RHQ] what they are?” I replied, “No, I do not know.”
Markaasaa malaggii ila hadlay jawaabay oo wuxuu igu yidhi, War miyaadan aqoon waxa kuwanu yihiin? Oo anna waxaan ku idhi, Maya, sayidkaygiiyow.
6 Then he said to me, “This is the message that Yahweh [says that you should give] to Zerubbabel [the governor of Judah: ‘You will do what I want you to do, but it will] not be by your own strength or power. It will be [done] by [the power of] my Spirit, says the Commander of the armies of angels.
Markaasuu jawaabay oo ila hadlay, oo wuxuu igu yidhi, Kanu waa eraygii Rabbigu u soo diray Serubaabel, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Rabbigii ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Itaal kuma aha, xoogna kuma aha, laakiinse waxay ku tahay ruuxayga.
7 Zerubbabel, you [have many difficult matters to handle. They are like] high mountains [MET]. But they will [become easy to handle, as though] they will become flat land. And you will bring [to the temple] the final stone [to complete the rebuilding of the temple]. When you do that, [all the people] will shout repeatedly, “It is beautiful! May God bless it!”’”
Buurtan weynay, kumaad tahay? Serubaabel hortiisa waxaad ku noqon doontaa bannaan. Oo isna wuxuu soo bixin doonaa dhagaxa madaxa ah isagoo dhawaaqaya oo leh, Ammaan ha u ahaato, ammaan ha u ahaato.
8 Then Yahweh gave me [another] message.
Oo weliba waxaa ii yimid Eraygii Rabbiga, oo wuxuu igu yidhi,
9 He said [to me], “Zerubbabel [SYN] laid the first stone in the foundation of the temple, and he will put the last stone in its place. When that happens, the people will know that [it is I, the Commander of the armies of angels, who] have sent you to them.” And he said, “The seven bowls represent the eyes of Yahweh, who looks back and forth at everything [that happens] on the earth.”
Serubaabel gacmihiisa ayaa dhigay gurigan aasaaskiisa, oo weliba gacmihiisaa dhammayn doona, oo waxaad ogaan doontaa in Rabbiga ciidammadu ii soo kaa diray.
10 No one [RHQ] should think that little things that are done at the beginning of a big project are unimportant. [When the temple is almost finished being rebuilt, ] Zerubbabel will use a (plumb line/string with a stone fastened to it) [to see if the walls they are building are straight]; so when the people see that, they will rejoice.”
Waayo, bal yaa quudhsaday maalinta waxyaalaha yaryar? Waayo, iyagu way rayrayn doonaan, oo waxay arki doonaan xadhigga miisaanka oo ku jira gacanta Serubaabel, waana toddobadan oo ah indhihii Rabbiga. Iyagu dhulka oo dhan ayay hore iyo dibba u fiiriyaan.
11 Then I asked the angel, “What is [the meaning of] the two olive trees, one on each side of the lampstand?
Markaasaan jawaabay, oo waxaan isagii ku idhi, Waa maxay labadan geed oo saytuunka ah oo ku yaal laambadda dhankeeda midig iyo dhankeeda bidixba?
12 And what [the meaning of] the two olive branches, one alongside each of the gold pipes from which [olive] oil flows to the lamps?”
Oo haddana mar labaad baan jawaabay oo waxaan ku idhi, Waa maxay labadan laamood oo saytuunka ah oo ku ag yaal labada tuubbo oo dahabka ah oo saliidda dahabka ah iska madhiya?
13 He replied, “Surely [RHQ] you know what they are?” I replied, “No, sir, [I do not know.]”
Oo isna wuu ii jawaabay oo wuxuu igu yidhi, War miyaadan aqoon waxa kuwanu yihiin? Oo anna waxaan ku idhi, Maya, sayidkaygiiyow.
14 So he said, “They represent the two [men who have been] appointed [MTY] to serve the Lord who [rules] the entire earth.”
Oo isna kolkaasuu igu yidhi, Kuwanu waa labada la subkay oo ag istaaga Sayidka dhulka oo dhan.
