< Zechariah 6 >
1 And I turned, and lifted up my eyes, and saw: and behold four chariots came out from the midst of two mountains: and the mountains were mountains of brass.
Ngasengibuya ngaphakamisa amehlo ami, ngabona, khangela-ke, kwaphuma inqola ezine phakathi kwezintaba ezimbili; lezintaba zazizintaba zethusi.
2 In the first chariot were red horses, and in the second chariot black horses.
Enqoleni yokuqala kwakulamabhiza abomvu, lenqoleni yesibili amabhiza amnyama,
3 And in the third chariot white horses, and in the fourth chariot grisled horses, and strong ones.
lenqoleni yesithathu amabhiza amhlophe, lenqoleni yesine amabhiza alamabala alamandla.
4 And I answered, and said to the angel that spoke in me: What are these, my lord?
Ngasengiphendula ngathi kuyo ingilosi eyayikhuluma lami: Ayini lawo, nkosi yami?
5 And the angel answered, and said to me: These are the four winds of the heaven, which go forth to stand before the Lord of all the earth.
Ingilosi yasiphendula yathi kimi: Lawo ayimimoya emine yamazulu, ephuma ekumeni phambi kweNkosi yomhlaba wonke.
6 That in which were the black horses went forth into the land of the north, and the white went forth after them: and the grisled went forth to the land of the south.
Amabhiza amnyama akhonapho aphuma esiya elizweni lenyakatho; lamhlophe aphuma ewalandela; lalamabala aphuma esiya elizweni leningizimu.
7 And they that were most strong, went out, and sought to go, and to run to and fro through all the earth. And he said: Go, walk throughout the earth: and they walked throughout the earth.
Alamandla asephuma, adinga ukuhamba ukuze aye le lale emhlabeni. Yasisithi: Hambani liye le lale emhlabeni. Asesiya le lale emhlabeni.
8 And he called me, and spoke to me, saying: Behold they that go forth into the land of the north, have quieted my spirit in the land of the north.
Yasingimemeza, yakhuluma kimi, isithi: Khangela, la aphuma aya elizweni lenyakatho awuphumuzile umoya wami elizweni lenyakatho.
9 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kimi lisithi:
10 Take of them of the captivity, of Holdai, and of Tobias, and of Idaias; thou shalt come in that day, and shalt go into the house of Josias, the son of Sophonias, who came out of Babylon.
Thatha kwabathunjiweyo, kuHelidayi, lakuTobiya, lakuJedaya, abavele eBhabhiloni, ubuye wena ngalolosuku, uye endlini kaJosiya indodana kaZefaniya,
11 And thou shalt take gold and silver: and shalt make crowns, and thou shalt set them on the head of Jesus the son of Josedec, the high priest.
ubusuthatha isiliva legolide, wenze imiqhele, uyibeke phezu kwekhanda likaJoshuwa indodana kaJehozadaki, umpristi omkhulu;
12 And thou shalt speak to him, saying: Thus saith the Lord of hosts, saying: BEHOLD A MAN, THE ORIENT IS HIS NAME: and under him shall he spring up, and shall build a temple to the Lord.
ubusukhuluma kuye, usithi: Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla, isithi: Khangela, umuntu obizo lakhe nguHlumela, uzahluma-ke ephuma endaweni yakhe, akhe ithempeli leNkosi.
13 Yea, he shall build a temple to the Lord: and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit, and rule upon his throne: and he shall be a priest upon his throne, and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
Yena-ke uzakwakha ithempeli leNkosi; yena athwale ubukhosi, ahlale abuse phezu kwesihlalo sakhe sobukhosi. Futhi uzakuba ngumpristi phezu kwesihlalo sakhe sobukhosi; leseluleko sokuthula sizakuba phakathi kwabo bobabili.
14 And the crowns shall be to Helem, and Tobias, and Idaias, and to Hem, the son of Sophonias, a memorial in the temple of the Lord.
Lemiqhele izakuba kuHelemi, lakuThobhiya, lakuJedaya, lakuHeni indodana kaZefaniya, kube yisikhumbuzo ethempelini leNkosi.
15 And they that are far off, shall come and shall build in the temple of the Lord: and you shall know that the Lord of hosts sent me to you. But this shall come to pass, if hearing you will hear the voice of the Lord your God.
Labakhatshana bazafika bakhe ethempelini leNkosi, beselisazi ukuthi iNkosi yamabandla ingithumile kini. Lokhu kuzakwenzeka, uba lilalela lokulalela ilizwi leNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu.
