Zekaria 4

1 HOI hou mai la ka anela i kamailio me au, a hoala mai la ia'u, e like me ka hoala ana i ke kanaka hiamoe.

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

2 Ninau mai la ia ia'u, Heaha kau mea e ike nei? I aku la au, Ua nana aku au, aia hoi, he ipukukui gula okoa, a maluna o kona welau he ipu aila, a maluna iho olaila na kukui ehiku a me na ohe ehiku no ua mau kukui ehiku la o kau ana maluna o kona welau.

And he said to me, What seest thou? 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 He elua mau laau oliva hoi e kokoke ana ilaila, o kekahi ma ka akau, a o kekahi hoi ma ka hema o ua ipu aila la.

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

4 Ninau aku la hoi au i ka anela i kamailio me au, i aku la, Heaha ke ano o keia mau mea, e kuu haku?

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

5 I mai la ka anela i kamailio me au Aole anei oe i ike i ke ano o keia mau mea? I aku la au, Aole, e kuu haku.

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

6 Alaila olelo mai la kela, i mai la ia'u penei, O keia ka olelo a Iehova ia Zerubabela, i ka i ana, Aole ma ka mana, aole ma ka ikaika, aka, ma kuu Uhane, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.

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, saith the Lord Almighty.

7 Heaha oe, e ka mauna nui? imua o Zerubabela, he papu: a e lawe mai auanei oia i ka pohaku kumu, me ka hookani olioli ana, He aloha! he aloha ia ia!

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

8 A hiki hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova io'u nei, i ka i ana,

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

9 Ua hookumu iho la na lima o Zerubabela i keia hale, a na kona mau lima hoi e hoopaa; a e ike auanei oe, na Iehova o na kaua wau i hoouna mai io oukou la.

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

10 Nawai la i hoowahawaha i ka la o na mea liilii? E olioli auanei lakou, a e ike hoi i ka pohaku kepau ma ka lima o Zerubabela, o lakou a ehiku. O lakou na maka o Iehova e hele ae ana mai o a ianei ma ka honua a pau.

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 Alaila, ninau aku la au, i aku la ia ia, Heaha ke ano o kela mau oliva elua ma ka lima akau o ka ipukukui, a ma ka lima hema ona?

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 Ninau hou aku la au, i aku la ia ia, Heaha kela mau lala oliva elua e pili ana me na ohe gula, e hookahe ana i ka aila gula mailoko mai o laua?

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 Ninau mai la kela ia'u, i mai la, Aole oe i ike i keia mau mea? I aku la au, Aole, e ka haku.

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

14 Alaila i mai la kela, O keia no na kanaka elua i poniia i ka aila e ku kokoke ana ma ka Haku o ka honua a pau.

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