Zekaria 6
1 Natingʼo wangʼa kendo, mi napo kaneno geche angʼwen mag lweny kabiro kowuok e kind gode ariyo ma gin gode mag mula!
And again lifting up my eyes I saw four war-carriages coming out from between the two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.
2 Gari mokwongo ne nigi farese masilwende, to mar ariyo ne nigi marotenge;
In the first war-carriage were red horses; and in the second, black horses;
3 mar adek ne nigi marochere, to mar angʼwen ne nigi marangʼeye, kendo giduto ne gin gi teko mathoth.
And in the third, white horses; and in the fourth, horses of mixed colour.
4 Napenjo malaika mane loso koda niya, “Magi gin angʼo, ruodha?”
And I made answer and said to the angel who was talking to me, What are these, my lord?
5 Eka malaika nodwoka niya, “Magi gin chunje angʼwen mag polo machungʼ e nyim Ruoth Nyasaye mar piny ngima kendo oseorogi mondo gidhi gitine.
And the angel, answering, said to me, These go out to the four winds of heaven from their place before the Lord of all the earth.
6 Gari man-gi farese marotenge dhiyo kochomo yo nyandwat, gari man-gi farese marochere dhi kochomo yo podho chiengʼ, to gari man-gi farese marongʼeye dhi kochomo yo milambo.”
The carriage in which are the black horses goes in the direction of the north country; the white go to the west; and those of mixed colour go in the direction of the south country.
7 Kane farese marotekego ne owuok, negidwaro mar dhi e tunge piny koni gi koni. Ne owachonegi niya, “Dhiuru uwuothi e piny koni gi koni!” Omiyo ne giwuok mi gidhi e piny koni gi koni.
And the red ones go to the east; and they made request that they might go up and down through the earth: and he said, Go up and down through the earth. So they went up and down through the earth.
8 Eka noluonga kowachona niya, “Mago madhiyo nyandwatgo osemiyo chunya olendo gi piny ma yo nyandwatno.”
Then crying out to me, he said, See, those who are going to the north country have given rest to the spirit of the Lord in the north country.
9 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nochako obirona kendo, kawachona niya,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
10 “Kaw fedha gi dhahabu kuom Heldai, Tobija kod Jedaya, ma gin joma osechopo koa e twech Babulon. Dhiyo odiechiengʼ ma gidonjoeno, e od Josia wuod Zefania.
Take the offerings of those who went away as prisoners, from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, and from the family of Josiah, the son of Zephaniah, who have come from Babylon;
11 Kaw fedha gi dhahabu ilosgo osimbo mondo isidh ewi Joshua wuod Jehozadak, jadolo maduongʼ.
And take silver and gold and make a crown and put it on the head of Zerubbabel;
12 Nyise ni Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho kama: ‘Ma e ngʼat ma nyinge iluongo ni Bad Yath, kendo obiro dongo maber kama entie mi oger hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
And say to him, These are the words of the Lord of armies: See, the man whose name is the Branch, under whom there will be fertile growth.
13 En ema obiro gero hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kolocho e kom duongʼ mare. Enobed jadolo e kom duongʼne, kendo ginibed gi winjruok e kindgi ji ariyogo.’
And he will be the builder of the Temple of the Lord; and the glory will be his, and he will take his place as ruler on the seat of power; and Joshua will be a priest at his right hand, and between them there will be a design of peace.
14 Osimbo ibiro mi Heldai, Tobija, Jedaya kod Hen wuod Zefania kaka gir rapar ei hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
And the crown will be for grace to Heldai and Tobijah and Jedaiah and the son of Zephaniah, to keep their memory living in the house of the Lord.
15 Kendo joma ni mabor nobi mi gedi e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, kendo iningʼe ni Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ema oseora iri. To mano notimre mana ka uyie winjo wach Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi.”
And those who are far away will come and be builders in the Temple of the Lord, and it will be clear to you that the Lord of armies has sent me to you.
