Zechariah 4
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1And the angel that spoke with me returned, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.
1To naah kai khae lokthui van kami loe amlaem moe, iip kami pathawk baktih toengah, kai to ang pathawk.
2And he said unto me: 'What seest thou?' And I said: 'I have seen, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps thereon; there are seven pipes, yea, seven, to the lamps, which are upon the top thereof;
2Anih mah, Timaw na hnuk? tiah ang naa. Kai mah, ka khet naah, a nuiah hmai im kaom, sui hoi sak ih hmaithawk paanghaih tung sarihto, a nuiah hmai im sarihto hoi hmaithawk hmai sarihto:
3and two olive-trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.'
3hmai im taeng bantang bangah maeto, banqoi bangah maeto kaom, Olive thing hnetto ka hnuk, tiah ka naa.
4And I answered and spoke to the angel that spoke with me, saying: 'What are these, my lord?'
4Kai hoi lokpae van kami khaeah, Ka angraeng, hae hmuennawk loe tih thuih koehhaih ih maw? tiah ka naa.
5Then the angel that spoke with me answered and said unto me: 'Knowest thou not what these are?' And I said: 'No, my lord.'
5Kai hoi lokpae van kami mah kai khaeah, Hae hmuennawk loe tih thuih koehhaih ih maw, tito na panoek ai maw? tiah ang naa. Kai mah, Ka panoek ai, angraeng, tiah ka naa.
6Then he answered and spoke 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.
6To pongah anih mah kai khaeah, Zerubabel khaeah angzo Angraeng ih lok loe hae tiah oh; hae hmuen loe thacakhaih hoiah om ai, sak thaihaih hoiah doeh om ai, ka Muithla rang hoiah ni om tih, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih.
7Who art thou, O great mountain before Zerubbabel? thou shalt become a plain; and he shall bring forth the top stone with shoutings of Grace, grace, unto it.'
7Aw kalen pui mae nang loe tiah maw na oh? Nang loe Zerubabel hma ah tangtling ah na om tih: tahmenhaih, tahmenhaih, tiah hanghaih hoiah lokpui koek im takii ih thlung to anih mah sin tih, tiah ang naa.
8Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
8To naah Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,
9'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.
9hae im loe Zerubbabel ih ban hoiah sak amtong boeh, a ban hoiah ni sak pacoengah om tih: to naah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, nangcae khaeah kai ang patoeh, tito na panoek o tih.
10For who hath despised the day of small things? even they shall see with joy the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel, even these seven, which are the eyes of the LORD, that run to and fro through the whole earth.'
10Hae hmuen tetta patoek kami loe mi maw? Hae sarihtonawk mah Zerubabel ban ih tahhaih qui to hnuk o naah anghoe o tih; to sarihtonawk loe Angraeng ih mik ah oh o, to miknawk loe ahnuk ahma long pum ah caeh o.
11Then 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?'
11To naah kai mah anih khaeah, Hmaithawk paaanghaih bantang bang hoi banqoi bangah kaom Olive thing hnetto loe tih thuih koehhaih ih maw? tiah ka dueng.
12And I answered the second time, and said unto him: 'What are these two olive branches, which are beside the two golden spouts, that empty the golden oil out of themselves?'
12To pacoengah anih khaeah, Sui moithawk hmaitui paekhaih sui tuicawn hnetto taengah kaom Olive thing tanghang hnetto loe tih thuih koehhaih ih maw? tiah ka dueng let bae.
13And he answered me and said: 'Knowest thou not what these are?' And I said: 'No, my lord.'
13Anih mah kai khaeah, Hae hmuennawk thuih koehhaih to na panoek ai maw? tiah ang naa. Kai mah, Ka panoek ai, angraeng, tiah ka naa.
14Then said he: 'These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.'
14To pongah anih mah, Hae hnik loe long pum ukkung Angraeng taengah kangdoe, situi nok ih kami hnik ni, tiah ang naa.
