Zakaria 4

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

The angel who talked with me came again, and wakened me, as a man who is wakened 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;

He said to me, "What do you see?" I said, "I have seen, and look, a lampstand all of gold, with its bowl on the top of it, and its seven lamps thereon; there are seven pipes to each of the lamps, which are on the top of 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 by it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on the left side of it."

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

I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, "What are these, my lord?"

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

Then the angel who talked with me answered me, "Do you not know what these are?" 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.

Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel, saying, 'Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD of hosts.

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, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you are a plain; and he will bring out the capstone with shouts of 'Grace, grace, to it.'"

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

Moreover 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 Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands shall also finish it; and you will know that the LORD of hosts 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

Indeed, who despises the day of small things? For these seven shall rejoice, and shall see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. These are the eyes of the LORD, which run back and forth through the whole 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?

Then I asked him, "What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lampstand and on the left side of it?"

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?

I asked him the second time, "What are these two olive branches, which are beside the two golden spouts, that pour the golden oil out of themselves?"

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

He answered me, "Do you not know what these are?" I said, "No, my lord."

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

Then he said, "These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth."
