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

¹The angel who talked with me came again, and wakened me, as a man who 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;

²He said to me, “What do you see?” I said, “I have seen, and behold, 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;

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

³and two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on the left side of it.”

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

⁴I answered and spoke to the angel who 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.

⁵Then the angel who talked with me answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?” 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.

⁶Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, “This is the word of Yahweh to Zerubbabel, saying, ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says Yahweh of Armies.

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

⁷Who are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you are a plain; and he will bring out the capstone with shouts of ‘Grace, grace, to it!’”

⁸Zvino shoko raJehovha rakasvikazve kwandiri, richiti,

⁸Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

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

⁹“The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands shall also finish it; and you will know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you.

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

¹⁰Indeed, 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 Yahweh, which run back and forth through the whole earth.”

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

¹¹Then I asked him, “What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lampstand and on the left side of it?”

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

¹²I 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?”

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

¹³He answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?” I said, “No, my lord.”

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

¹⁴Then he said, “These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” of the whole earth.”
