Zakaria 4

1 Ary niverina ilay anjely niresaka tamiko ka namoha ahy toy ny olona fohazina amin-tory.

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

2 Dia hoy izy tamiko: Inona no hitanao? Ary hoy izaho: Hitako fa, indro, misy fanaovan-jiro tena volamena, ary ny fitoeran-diloilony dia eo an-tampony, ary ny lela fanaovan-jirony fito kosa dia eo aminy, ary misy fantsona fito avy amin’ ny isan’ ny lela fanaovan-jiro izay eo an-tampony;

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 ary misy hazo oliva roa eo anilany, ny anankiray eo ankavanan’ ny fitoeran-diloilo, ary ny anankiray eo an-kaviany.

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

4 Dia niteny tamin’ ilay anjely niresaka tamiko aho nanao hoe: Inona moa ireo, tompoko?

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

5 Ary ilay anjely niresaka tamiko dia namaly ka nanao tamiko hoe: Tsy fantatrao va ireo? Fa hoy izaho: Tsia, tompoko.

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 Dia namaly izy ka nanao tamiko hoe: Izao no tenin’ i Jehovah amin’ i Zerobabela: Tsy amin-kery na amim-pahatanjahana, fa amin’ ny Fanahiko, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro.

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 Iza moa ianao, ry tendrombohitra lehibe? Ho tonga tany lemaka eo anoloan’ i Zerobabela ianao; ary ho entiny mivoaka ny vato hatao tendrony sady hisy fiantsoana hoe: Fahasoavana, fahasoavana anie ho aminy!

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 Dia tonga tamiko indray ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:

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

9 Ny tànan’ i Zerobabela no nanao ny fanorenan’ ity trano ity, ary ny tànany koa no hamita azy; ka dia ho fantatrao fa Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no naniraka ahy ho aminao.

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 Fa iza no nanamavo ny andron’ ny zava-madinika? Ho faly mahita ny pilao eny an-tànan’ i Zerobabela ireo fito ireo, dia ny mason’ i Jehovah, izay mijery eny tontolo eny eran’ ny tany rehetra

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 Dia namaly aho ka nanao taminy hoe: Inona moa ireo hazo oliva roa eo ankavanan’ ny fanaovan-jiro sy eo an-kaviany ireo?

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 Ary namaly koa aho ka nanao taminy hoe: Inona moa ireo sampahon’ oliva roa eo amin’ ny fantsona volamena izay mampijononoka ny diloilo volamena avy ao aminy ireo?

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 Dia namaly izy hoe: Tsy fantatrao va ireo? Ary hoy izaho: Tsia, tompoko.

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

14 Dia hoy izy: Ireo no zana-diloilo roa, izay mitsangana eo anoloan’ ny Tompon’ ny tany rehetra.

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