Zekaria 6
1 Natingʼo wangʼa kendo, mi napo kaneno geche angʼwen mag lweny kabiro kowuok e kind gode ariyo ma gin gode mag mula!
Again I looked up, and saw four chariots come from between two mountains. The mountains were mountains of bronze.
2 Gari mokwongo ne nigi farese masilwende, to mar ariyo ne nigi marotenge;
The first chariot had red horses. The second chariot had black horses,
3 mar adek ne nigi marochere, to mar angʼwen ne nigi marangʼeye, kendo giduto ne gin gi teko mathoth.
the third chariot white horses, and the fourth chariot dappled horses.
4 Napenjo malaika mane loso koda niya, “Magi gin angʼo, ruodha?”
Then I said to the messenger who 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.
The messenger answered me, “These are the four winds of heaven going out after standing 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 black horses are going toward the north country and the white toward the west and the dappled toward 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.
The strong horses came out, and were impatient to patrol the earth. So he said, “Go, patrol the earth,” and they did so.
8 Eka noluonga kowachona niya, “Mago madhiyo nyandwatgo osemiyo chunya olendo gi piny ma yo nyandwatno.”
Then he cried out to me, “The horses that went to the north country will quiet my spirit in the north country.”
9 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nochako obirona kendo, kawachona niya,
Now this message of the Lord came to me:
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 gifts from the exiles Heldai, Tobijah and Jedaiah who have come from Babylon and go at once to Josiah the son of Zephaniah.
11 Kaw fedha gi dhahabu ilosgo osimbo mondo isidh ewi Joshua wuod Jehozadak, jadolo maduongʼ.
Take their silver and gold and make a crown and set it on the head of the high priest, Joshua son of Jehozadak.
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.
Tell him: “Thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold, the man whose name is the Branch. He will branch out from his place and rebuild the temple 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.’
He will rebuild the temple and will sit and rule upon his throne, receiving the honor due to a king. A priest will stand by his throne and they will work together in peace and harmony.
14 Osimbo ibiro mi Heldai, Tobija, Jedaya kod Hen wuod Zefania kaka gir rapar ei hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
The crown will be a memorial in the temple of the Lord for Heldai and Tobijah and Jedaiah, and Josiah the son of Zephaniah.
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.”
People from far away will come and build in the temple of the Lord and you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you. This will happen if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God.”
