¹Zvino mutumwa akanga achitaurirana neni akasvikazve, akandimutsa, somunhu anomutswa pahope dzake.

¹And 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 hadyana yacho pamusoro pacho, nemwenje yacho minomwe iri pamusoro pacho; mwenje mumwe nomumwe uri pamusoro pacho une mbombi nomwe;

²And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I see, and behold, a lamp-stand all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps thereon, seven [lamps] and seven pipes to the lamps, which are upon the top thereof;

³uye miti miviri yemiorivhi parutivi rwacho, mumwe kurutivi rworudyi rwehadyana, nomumwe kurutivi rworuboshwe.

³and two olive-trees beside it, one on the right of the bowl, and the other on the left of it.

⁴Ndikapindura ndikataura nomutumwa akanga achitaurirana neni, ndichiti, Izvi zvinyiko, ishe wangu?

⁴And I answered and spoke 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.

⁵And the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

⁶Ipapo akapindura, akataura neni, achiti, Ndiro shoko raJehovha kuna Zerubhabheri, rinoti, Kwete nehondo kana nesimba, asi noMweya wangu, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha wehondo.

⁶And he answered and spoke unto me, saying, This is the word of Jehovah unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith Jehovah of hosts.

⁷Ndiwe aniko, iwe gomo guru? Pamberi paZerubhabheri uchaitwa bani, iye achabudisa ibwe rokumusoro, achidanidzira achiti, Nyasha, nyasha ngadzive kwariri.

⁷Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel [thou dost become] a plain; and he shall bring forth the head-stone with shoutings: Grace, grace unto it!

⁸Zvino shoko raJehovha rakasvikazve kwandiri, richiti,

⁸And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

⁹Maoko aZerubhabheri akateya nheyo dzeimba ino, maoko ake achaipedzisawo; ipapo iwe uchaziva kuti Jehovha wehondo ndiye akandituma kwauri.

⁹The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; and his hands shall finish it: and thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto you.

¹⁰nekuti ndiani akashoora zuva rezvinhu zviduku? nekuti achafara zvikuru, achaona rwonzi rwokuyera muruoko rwaZerubhabheri; awa ndiwo meso aJehovha anofamba pose-pose panyika yose.

¹⁰For who hath despised the day of small things? Yea, they shall rejoice [even] those seven -- and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel: these are the eyes of Jehovah, which run to and fro in the whole earth.

¹¹Ipapo ndakapindura, ndikati kwaari, Ko miorivhi iyi miviri kurutivi rworudyi rwechigadziko nokurutivi rworuboshwe zvinoti kudiniko?

¹¹And I answered and said unto him, What are these two olive-trees on the right of the lamp-stand and on its left?

¹²Ndikapindurazve rwechipiri, ndikati kwaari, Ko matavi awa maviri emiorivhi ari kumativi emiromo miviri , inodira mafuta endarama pairi, anoti kudiniko?

¹²And I answered the second time and said unto him, What are the two olive-branches which are beside the two golden tubes that empty the gold out of themselves?

¹³Akandipindura, akati, Hauzivi here kuti izvi zvinyiko? Ini ndikati, Kwete, ishe wangu.

¹³And he spoke to me, saying, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

¹⁴Zvino akati, Ava ndivo vaviri vakazodzwa, vamire pamberi paShe wenyika yose.

¹⁴And he said, These are the two sons of oil, that stand before the Lord of the whole earth.
