< 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.
Ary natopiko indray ny masoko ka hitako fa, indreo, nisy kalesy efatra nivoaka avy teo anelanelan’ ny tendrombohitra roa; ary tendrombohitra varahina ireo tendrombohitra ireo.
2 In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
Tamin’ ny kalesy voalohany dia nisy soavaly mena; tamin’ ny kalesy faharoa dia soavaly mainty;
3 and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grizzled bay horses.
tamin’ ny kalesy fahatelo dia soavaly fotsy; ary tamin’ ny kalesy fahefatra dia soavaly sadamena.
4 Then I answered and said unto the angel that spoke with me: 'What are these, my lord?'
Dia nanontany tamin’ ilay anjely niresaka tamiko aho ka nanao hoe: Inona moa ireo, tompoko?
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.
Ary ilay anjely namaly ka nilaza tamiko hoe: Ireo no rivotra efatry ny lanitra, izay mivoaka avy nitsangana teo anatrehan’ ny Tompon’ ny tany rehetra.
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;
Io misy ny soavaly mainty dia mivoaka mankamin’ ny tany avaratra; ary ny fotsy nivoaka nanaraka azy; ary ny sada nivoaka nankamin’ ny tany atsimo.
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.
Ary ny mena dia nivoaka ka nitady handeha hivoivoy eny amin’ ny tany; dia hoy izy: Mandehana ianareo, mivoivoiza eny amin’ ny tany. Ka dia nandeha nivoivoy teny amin’ ny tany izy.
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.'
Dia nitaraina mafy tamiko izy ka niteny tamiko hoe: Indro, ireo izay mivoaka mankamin’ ny tany avaratra dia nampionona ny fanahiko tany amin’ ny tany avaratra.
9 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
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;
Mandraisa avy amin’ ny babo, dia amin’ i Helday sy Tobia ary Jedaia, eny, mandehana amin’ izany andro izany ihany ianao, ka midìra ao an-tranon’ i Josia, zanak’ i Zefania, izay novantaniny nony vao tonga avy tany Babylona izy,
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;
eny, mandraisa volafotsy sy volamena, ka ataovy satro-boninahitra, dia apetraho eo an-dohan’ i Josoa, zanak’ i Jozadaka, mpisoronabe;
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;
dia lazao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Indro Lehilahy atao hoe Rantsana; ary hitsimoka eo am-pitoerany ihany Izy sady hanao ny tempolin’ i Jehovah.
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.
Eny, Izy no hanao ny tempolin’ i Jehovah, ary Izy no hitondra voninahitra ka hipetraka sy hanapaka eo amin’ ny seza fiandrianany; ary ho mpisorona eo amin’ ny seza fiandrianany Izy; ary hisy fisainam-pihavanana amin’ izy roroa.
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.
Ary ny satro-boninahitra dia ho an’ i Helema sy Tobia sy Jedaia ary Hena, zanak’ i Zefania, ho fampahatsiarovana ao amin’ ny tempolin’ i Jehovah.
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 —.'
Ary izay lavitra dia ho avy ka hanao ao amin’ ny tempolin’ i Jehovah, ka dia ho fantatrareo fa Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no naniraka ahy ho aminareo. Dia ho tonga izany, raha hazoto hihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo ianareo.
