Zechariah 6
1 And again I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between the two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.
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 chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
Ngaari ya mbere yaguucĩtio nĩ mbarathi ndune, na ya keerĩ ĩkaguucio nĩ mbarathi njirũ,
3 and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grizzled bay horses.
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 said unto the angel that spoke with me: 'What are these, my lord?'
Ngĩũria mũraika ũcio wanjaragĩria atĩrĩ, “Mwathi wakwa, ici nacio nĩ ndũũ?”
5 And the angel answered and said unto me: 'These chariots go forth to the four winds of heaven, after presenting themselves before 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 wherein are the black horses goeth forth toward the north country; and the white went forth after them; and the grizzled went forth toward the south country;
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 bay went forth'. And they sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth; and he said: 'Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth.' So they walked to and fro through the earth.
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 cried he upon me, and spoke unto me, saying: 'Behold, they that go toward the north country have eased My spirit in the north country.'
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 word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
Ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyanginyĩrire ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
10 'Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, that are come from Babylon; and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son 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 yea, take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set the one upon the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest;
Oya betha na thahabu icio ũthondeke thũmbĩ, ũcooke ũmĩigĩrĩre mũtwe wa Joshua mũrũ wa Jehozadaki, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene.
12 and speak unto him, saying: Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying: Behold, a man whose name is the Shoot, and who shall shoot up out of his place, and 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 even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and there shall be a priest before his throne; and the counsel of peace shall be between 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 crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, as a memorial 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 far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. And it shall come to pass, if ye will diligently hearken to the voice 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.”
