< Zechariah 4 >

1 Lipufan se ma sramsram nu sik ah sifilpa tuku ac okasyuyak, oana in mu nga motul.
And the angel who was talking to me came again, awaking me as a man out of his sleep.
2 Ac el siyuk, “Oasr ma kom liye?” Ac nga fahk, “Nga liye soko sukan lam orekla ke gold, ac pol in neinyuk oil se oan oelucng. Oasr lam itkosr oan fin sukan lam soko ah, kais sie oasr acn sin wik itkosr kac.
And he said to me, What do you see? And I said, I see a light-support, made all of gold, with its cup on the top of it and seven lights on it; and there are seven pipes to every one of the lights which are on the top of it;
3 Oasr sak olive lukwa sisken sukan lam sac, soko oan lac ac soko oan layen ngia.”
And two olive-trees by it, one on the right side of the cup and one on the left.
4 Na nga siyuk sin lipufan sac, “Leum luk, mea kalmen ma inge?”
And I made answer and said to the angel who was talking to me, What are these, my lord?
5 Na el siyuk sik, “Mea, kom nikin?” Ac nga fahk, “Nga nikinna.”
Then the angel who was talking to me, answering me, said, Have you no knowledge of what these are? And I said, No, my lord.
6 Lipufan sac fahk nu sik nga in sang nu sel Zerubbabel kas sin LEUM GOD inge: “Ma nukewa kom oru ac fah fahla wo, tia ke ku lun mwet mweun ku ke ku lom sifacna, a ke ku lun ngunik.
This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by force or by power, but by my spirit, says the Lord of armies.
7 Mwe kutong na yohk ac fulat oana fineol, fah wanginla ye motom. Kom ac fah sifil musaela Tempul uh, ac ke kom ac oakiya eot se ma safla uh, mwet uh fah sala ac fahk, “Arulana wo! Arulana wo!”
Who are you, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel you will become level: and he will let all see the headstone, with cries of Grace, grace, to it.
8 Sie pac kas sin LEUM GOD tuku nu sik.
Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
9 El fahk, “Zerubbabel el oakiya tari pwelung lun Tempul, ac el ac aksafyela musa kac uh. Pacl se ma inge ac orekla uh, na mwet luk uh ac fah etu lah nga pa supwekom nu selos uh.
The hands of Zerubbabel have put the base of this house in place, and his hands will make it complete; and it will be clear to you that the Lord of armies has sent me to you.
10 Elos ac toasrla mweyen tia yohk ma orekla uh. Tusruktu ke elos ac liyal Zerubbabel lah el srakna musai Tempul, na elos ac fah engan.” Na lipufan sac fahk nu sik, “Lam itkosr inge pa muta itkosr lun LEUM GOD, su liye faclu nufon.”
For who has had a poor opinion of the day of small things? for they will be glad when they see the weighted measuring-line in the hand of Zerubbabel. Then he said in answer to me, These seven lights are the eyes of the Lord which go quickly up and down through all the earth.
11 Na nga siyuk sel, “Mea kalmen sak olive lukwa ma oan lac lac ke sukan lam uh?
And I made answer and said to him, What are these two olive-trees on the right side of the light-support and on the left?
12 Ac mea kalmen lesak olive luo sisken paip gold lukwa ma oil in olive uh soror kac uh?”
And answering a second time, I said to him, What are these two olive branches, through whose gold pipes the oil is drained out?
13 Ac el siyuk sik, “Mea, kom nikin?” Ac nga fahk, “Leum luk, nga tiana etu.”
And he said in answer to me, Have you no knowledge what these are? And I said, No, my lord.
14 Na el fahk, “Mwet luo inge pa God El sulela ac mosrwela in kulansupu Leum God lun faclu nufon.”
And he said, These are the two sons of oil, whose place is by the Lord of all the earth.
