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 I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, four chariots coming out from between two mountains; and the mountains were brazen mountains.
2 Gari mokwongo ne nigi farese masilwende, to mar ariyo ne nigi marotenge;
In the first chariot [were] red horses; and in the second chariot 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 chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot piebald [and] ash-coloured horses.
4 Napenjo malaika mane loso koda niya, “Magi gin angʼo, ruodha?”
And I answered and said to the angel that talked with 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 that talked with me answered and said, These are the four winds of heaven, [and] they are going forth to stand 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.”
[As for the chariot] in which were the black horses, they went out to the land of the north; and the white went out after them; and the piebald went out to the land of the south.
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 ash-coloured went out, and looked to go and compass the earth: and he said, Go, and compass the earth. And they compassed the earth.
8 Eka noluonga kowachona niya, “Mago madhiyo nyandwatgo osemiyo chunya olendo gi piny ma yo nyandwatno.”
And he cried out and spoke to me, saying, Behold, these go out to the land of the north, and they have quieted mine anger in the land of the north.
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 things of the captivity from the chief men, and from the useful men of it, and from them that have understood it; and thou shalt enter in that day into the house of Josias the son of Sophonias that came out of Babylon.
11 Kaw fedha gi dhahabu ilosgo osimbo mondo isidh ewi Joshua wuod Jehozadak, jadolo maduongʼ.
And thou shalt take silver and gold, and make crowns, and thou shalt put [them] upon the head of Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest;
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 thou shalt say to him, Thus saith the Lord Almighty; Behold the man whose name is The Branch; and he shall spring up from his stem, and build the house of the Lord.
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 shall receive power, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and there shall be a priest on his right hand, and a peaceable counsel shall be between [them] both.
14 Osimbo ibiro mi Heldai, Tobija, Jedaya kod Hen wuod Zefania kaka gir rapar ei hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
And the crown shall be to them that wait patiently, and to the useful men of the captivity, and to them that have known it, and for the favour of the son of Sophonias, and for a psalm 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 they [that are] far from them shall come and build in the house of the Lord, and ye shall know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you: and [this] shall come to pass, if ye will diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord your God.
