< Zacarias 4 >

1 Kalpasanna, nagsubli ti anghel a nakisarsarita kaniak ket riniingnak a kas iti maysa a tao a nagriing iti pannaturogna.
And the angel that talked with me returned, and awakened me, as when a man is awakened out of his sleep.
2 Kinunana kaniak, “Ania ti makitkitam? Kinunak, “Makitkitak ti maysa a kandelero a pasig a balitok, nga adda malukong iti rabawna. Addaan daytoy iti pito a pagsilawan ken addaan iti pito a pabelo iti rabaw ti tunggal pagsilawan.
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 Adda dua a kayo nga olibo iti abay daytoy, maysa iti makannawan ti malukong ken maysa iti makannigid.”
and two olive-trees above it, one on the right of the bowl, and one on the left.
4 Isu a kinasaritak manen ti anghel a nakisarsarita kaniak. Kinunak, “Apok ania ti kaipapanan dagitoy a banbanag?”
And I inquired, and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these things, [my] lord?
5 Simmungbat ti anghel a nakisarsarita kaniak a kunana, “Apay saanmo pay nga ammo ti kaipapanan dagitoy a banbanag?” Kinunak, “Saan apok,”.
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 Isu a kinunana kaniak, “Daytoy ti sao ni Yahweh a para kenni Zerubbabel: 'Saan a babaen iti pigsa wenno pannakabalin, ngem babaen iti Espirituk,' kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin.
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 'Aniaka koma, dakkel a bantay? Iti sangoanan ni Zerubbabel, agbalinkanto a patad, ket iruarna ti kangrunaan a bato a mangipukkaw, “Parabur! Parabur!””
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 Immay kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
9 “Impasdek ni Zerubabel ti pundasion daytoy a balay ket leppasennanto daytoy. Ket maammoanyonto nga imbaonnak ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin kadakayo.
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 Siasino ti nangumsi kadagiti aldaw dagiti babassit a banbanag a nagappuanan? Agrag-onto dagitoy a tattao ket makitadanto ti bato a pangrukod iti kalinteg ti pasdek iti ima ni Zerubbabel. (Ibagbagi dagitoy pito a pagsilawan dagiti mata ni Yahweh a mangwanwanawan iti entero a daga.)”
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 Ket sinaludsodko ti anghel, “Ania dagitoy dua a kayo nga olibo a nakatakder iti makannigid ken makannawan a sikigan ti kandelero?”
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 Sinaludsodko pay kenkuana iti maminsan, “Ania dagitoy a dua a sanga ti olibo iti abay dagiti dua a balitok a tubo a pagay-ayusan ti maris balitok a lana?
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 “Apay saanmo pay nga ammo no ania dagitoy?” Ket kinunak, “Saan, apok.”
And he said to me, Know you not what these are? and I said, No, [my] lord.
14 Isu a kinunana, “Ibagbagi dagitoy dua a kayo nga olibo ti dua a lallaki nga agserserbi iti Apo iti entero a daga.”
And he said, These are the two anointed ones [that] stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
