< Zechariah 6 >
1 Againe, I turned and lift vp mine eyes, and looked: and beholde, there came foure charets out from betweene two mountaines, and the mountaines were mountaines of brasse.
Ningĩ ngĩtiira maitho rĩngĩ, na rĩrĩ, ngĩona ngaari inya cia ita igĩũka ciumĩte gatagatĩ ka irĩma igĩrĩ, irĩma icio ciarĩ cia gĩcango!
2 In the first charet were red horses, and in the second charet blacke horses,
Ngaari ya mbere yaguucĩtio nĩ mbarathi ndune, na ya keerĩ ĩkaguucio nĩ mbarathi njirũ,
3 And in the thirde charet white horses, and in the fourth charet, horses of diuers colours, and reddish.
na ya gatatũ ĩkaguucio nĩ mbarathi njerũ, nayo ya kana ĩkaguucio nĩ mbarathi cia marooro; ciothe ciarĩ mbarathi ciarĩ na hinya.
4 Then I answered, and saide vnto the Angell that talked with mee, What are these, my Lord?
Ngĩũria mũraika ũcio wanjaragĩria atĩrĩ, “Mwathi wakwa, ici nacio nĩ ndũũ?”
5 And the Angell answered, and sayde vnto mee, These are the foure spirites of the heauen, which goe foorth from standing with the Lord of all the earth.
Nake mũraika ũcio akĩnjookeria atĩrĩ, “Maya nĩ maroho marĩa mana ma igũrũ, maroima harĩa marũgamaga mbere ya Mwathani wa thĩ yothe.
6 That with the blacke horse went forth into the land of the North, and the white went out after them, and they of diuers colours went forth toward the South countrey.
Ngaari ĩyo ĩguucĩtio nĩ mbarathi njirũ yerekeire bũrũri wa gathigathini, nayo ĩyo ĩguucĩtio nĩ mbarathi njerũ yerekeire bũrũri wa ithũĩro, nayo ĩyo ĩguucĩtio nĩ mbarathi irĩ na maroro yerekeire bũrũri wa gũthini.”
7 And the reddish went out, and required to go, and passe through the world, and he sayde, Goe passe through the worlde. So they went thorowout the world.
Rĩrĩa mbarathi icio irĩ hinya cioimagarire-rĩ, nĩciageragia mũno ũrĩa ingĩthiĩ thĩ yothe. Nake agĩciĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mũcange thĩ yothe!” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio igĩthiĩ thĩ yothe.
8 Then cryed hee vpon me, and spake vnto me, saying, Beholde, these that goe towarde the North countrey, haue pacified my spirit in the North countrey.
Ningĩ agĩcooka akĩnjĩta akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ta rora, icio cierekeire bũrũri wa gathigathini nĩitũmĩte Roho wakwa ũgĩe na ũhurũko kũu bũrũri wa gathigathini.”
9 And the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyanginyĩrire ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
10 Take of them of ye captiuitie, euen of Heldai, and of Tobijah, and Iedaiah, which are come from Babel, and come thou the same day, and goe vnto the house of Ioshiah, the sonne of Zephaniah.
“Amũkĩra betha na thahabu kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa maatahĩtwo, na nĩo Helidai, na Tobija, na Jedaia, arĩa mokĩte kuuma Babuloni. Thiĩ o ũmũthĩ mũciĩ kwa Josia mũrũ wa Zefania.
11 Take euen siluer, and golde, and make crownes, and set them vpon the head of Iehoshua, the sonne of Iehozadak the hie Priest,
Oya betha na thahabu icio ũthondeke thũmbĩ, ũcooke ũmĩigĩrĩre mũtwe wa Joshua mũrũ wa Jehozadaki, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene.
12 And speake vnto him, saying, Thus speaketh the Lord of hostes, and sayth, Behold the man whose name is the Branch, and he shall growe vp out of his place, and he shall build the Temple of the Lord.
Mwĩre atĩ Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga ũũ: ‘Ũyũ nĩwe mũndũ ũrĩa wĩtagwo Rũhonge, nake nĩakaruta honge arĩ handũ haake na ake hekarũ ya Jehova.
13 Euen hee shall build the Temple of the Lord, and he shall beare the glory, and shall sit and rule vpon his throne, and he shalbe a Priest vpon his throne, and the counsell of peace shall be betweene them both.
Ũcio nĩwe ũgaaka hekarũ ya Jehova, na nĩakahumbwo riiri, na nĩagaikarĩra gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene aathane. O na nĩagatungata arĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai aikarĩire gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene; na maũndũ macio meerĩ nĩmakaganĩrĩra wega.’
14 And the crownes shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Iedaiah, and to Hen the sonne of Zephaniah, for a memoriall in the Temple of the Lord.
Nayo thũmbĩ ĩyo ĩigwo thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Jehova, ĩrĩ kĩririkano kĩa Helidai, na Tobija, na Jedaia, na Heni mũrũ wa Zefania.
15 And they that are farre off, shall come and build in the Temple of the Lord, and ye shall know, that the Lord of hostes hath sent me vnto you. And this shall come to passe, if ye will obey the voyce of the Lord your God.
Arĩa marĩ kũraya nĩmagooka gũteithia gwaka hekarũ ya Jehova, na inyuĩ nĩmũkamenya atĩ Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩwe ũndũmĩte kũrĩ inyuĩ. Ũndũ ũyũ nĩũgekĩka mũngĩgaathĩkĩra Jehova Ngai wanyu mũrĩ na kĩyo.”
