Zekaria 4

¹Zvino mutumwa akanga achitaurirana neni akasvikazve, akandimutsa, somunhu anomutswa pahope dzake.And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep,

²Akati kwandiri, Unooneiko? Ini ndikati, Ndakatarira, ndikaona chigadziko chomwenje chendarama yose, chine hariyana yacho pamusoro pacho, nemwenje yacho minomwe iri pamusoro pacho; mwenje mumwe nomumwe uri pamusoro pacho une mbombi nomwe;And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:

³uye miti miviri yemiorivhi parutivi rwacho, mumwe kurutivi rworudyi rwehadyana, nomumwe kurutivi rworuboshwe.And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.

⁴Ndikapindura ndikataura nomutumwa akanga achitaurirana neni, ndichiti, Izvi zvinyiko, ishe wangu?So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?

⁵Ipapo mutumwa akanga achitaurirana neni, akapindura, akati, kwandiri, Hauzivi here kuti izvi zvinyiko? Ini ndikati, Kwete, ishe wangu.Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.

⁶Ipapo akapindura, akataura neni, achiti, Ndiro shoko raJehovha kuna Zerubhabheri, rinoti, `Hazviitwi nehondo kana nesimba, asi noMweya wangu,' ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha wehondo.Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.

⁷Ndiwe aniko, iwe gomo guru? Pamberi paZerubhabheri uchaitwa bani, iye achabudisa ibwe rokumusoro, achidanidzira achiti, `Nyasha, nyasha ngadzive kwariri.'Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.

⁸Zvino shoko raJehovha rakasvikazve kwandiri, richiti,Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

⁹Maoko aZerubhabheri akateya nheyo dzeimba ino, maoko ake achaipedzisawo; ipapo iwe uchaziva kuti Jehovha wehondo ndiye akandituma kwauri.The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you.

¹⁰Nokuti ndiani akashoora zuva rezvinhu zviduku? Nokuti achafara zvikuru, achaona rwonzi rwokuyera muruoko rwaZerubhabheri; awa ndiwo meso aJehovha anofamba pose-pose panyika yose.For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.

¹¹Ipapo ndakapindura, ndikati kwaari, `Ko miorivhi iyi miviri kurutivi rworudyi rwechigadziko nokurutivi rworuboshwe zvinoti kudiniko?'Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?

¹²Ndikapindurazve rwechipiri, ndikati kwaari, Ko matavi awa maviri emiorivhi ari kumativi emiromo miviri , inodira mafuta endarama pairi, anoti kudiniko?And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?

¹³Akandipindura, akati, Hauzivi here kuti izvi zvinyiko? Ini ndikati, Kwete, ishe wangu.And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.

¹⁴Zvino akati, Ava ndivo vaviri vakazodzwa, vamire pamberi paShe wenyika yose.Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the LORD of the whole earth.
