1 N a ka hoki mai te anahera i korero ra ki ahau, ka whakaarahia ahau, ko toku rite kei te tangata e whakaarahia ana i te moe.

Then the angel who was speaking with me returned and woke me up like a man would be made to wake up from his sleep.

2 N a ka mea ia ki ahau, Ko te aha e kitea ana e koe? Ano ra ko ahau, Kua kite ahau, na, ko tetahi turanga rama, he koura katoa, me tona peihana i tona pito ki runga, ko ona rama e whitu ki runga o tera; e whitu nga korere o te rama kotahi i tona pi to ki runga;

He said to me, “What do you see?” And I said, “I see a gold lamp-stand with a cup at the top and seven lamps on it. And there are seven places to hold oil, one on the top of each of the lamps.

3 N a e rua nga oriwa i tona taha, ko tetahi i te taha ki matau o te peihana, ko tetahi i tona taha maui.

There are two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the cup and the other on its left side.”

4 N a ka oho atu ahau, ka mea ki te anahera i korero ki ahau, ka ki atu, He aha enei, e toku ariki?

Then I said to the angel who was speaking with me, “What are these, my lord?”

5 K atahi te anahera i korero ra ki ahau ka oho, ka mea ki ahau, Kahore ranei koe e mohio he aha enei? Ano ra ko ahau, Kahore, e toku ariki.

So the angel who was speaking with me said, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.” God’s Promise to Zechariah

6 N a ka oho mai ia, ka korero ki ahau, ka mea, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa ki a Herupapera, e ki ana: Ehara i te mea ma te uaua, ma te kaha, engari ma toku wairua, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano.

Then he said to me, “This is the Word of the Lord to Zerubbabel saying, ‘Not by strength nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of All.

7 K o wai koe, e te maunga nui? i te aroaro o Herupapera hei papatairite koe: a ka whakaputaina mai e ia te kohatu o runga rawa, me te pa ano nga karanga, He pai, he pai mona.

‘What are you, O great mountain? In front of Zerubbabel you will become a plain. Then he will bring out the top stone and call out, “May God give it loving-favor!”’”

8 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,

Also the Word of the Lord came to me saying,

9 N a nga ringa o Herupapera i whakatakoto te turanga mo tenei whare, ma ona ringa ano e whakaoti; a ka mohio koe na Ihowa o nga mano ahau i unga mai ki a koutou.

“Zerubbabel’s hands have laid the first stones of this house, and his hands will finish it. Then you will know that the Lord of All has sent me to you.

10 K o wai oti i whakahawea ki te ra o nga mea ririki? ka koa hoki ratou, ka kite hoki i te kohatu paramu i roto i te ringa o Herupapera, ara enei e whitu nei, koia nei nga kanohi o Ihowa; e kopikopiko ana ratou i te whenua katoa.

Who has hated the day of small things? Men will be glad when they see Zerubbabel building the walls of the Lord’s house. These seven are the eyes of the Lord which travel over all the earth.”

11 K atahi ahau ka oho atu, ka mea ki a ia, He aha enei oriwa e rua i te taha ki matau o te turanga rama, i te taha hoki ki maui?

Then I said to him, “What are these two olive trees on the right and left sides of the lamp-stand?”

12 I whakahoki atu ano ahau, he tuarua, ka mea ki a ia, He aha enei manga oriwa e rua, e rua nga korere koura i piri atu ai raua, i rere atu ai te hinu koura i roto i aua korere ra?

A second time I said to him, “What are the two olive branches beside the two gold places that hold the oil to be poured out?”

13 K atahi tera ka korero mai ki ahau, ka mea, Kahore ranei koe e mohio ko te aha enei? Ano ra ko ahau, Kahore, e toku ariki.

He answered me saying, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.”

14 N a ka ki mai ia, Ko enei e rua ko nga tama a te hinu, e tu ana i te taha o te Ariki o te whenua katoa.

Then he said, “These are the two who are set apart to serve the Lord of All the earth.”
