Zechariah 6
1 And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains [were] mountains of brass.
Ne nyongera okuyimusa amaaso gange, era laba, amagaali g’embalaasi ana nga gava wakati w’ensozi bbiri, n’ensozi ezo zaali nsozi za bikomo.
2 In the first chariot [were] red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
Eggaali esooka ng’esikibwa embalaasi za lukunyu, eyookubiri nga nzirugavu.
3 And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses.
Eggaali eyokusatu ng’esikibwa mbalaasi njeru, eyokuna yo ng’esikibwa za kikuusikuusi atabikiddwamu n’obwoya obweru. Embalaasi ezo zonna zaali z’amaanyi.
4 Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What [are] these, my lord?
Ne ndyoka mbuuza malayika eyali ayogera nange nti, “Bino bitegeeza ki mukama wange?”
5 And the angel answered and said unto me, These [are] the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
Malayika n’anziramu nti, “Ezo z’empewo ennya ez’omu ggulu; ziva kweyanjula mu maaso ga Mukama ow’ensi yonna.
6 The black horses which [are] therein go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth toward the south country.
Ekigaali eky’embalaasi enzirugavu kigenda mu nsi ey’omu bukiikakkono, ate ekyo eky’enjeru mu bugwanjuba, ekyo ekyali kisikibwa embalaasi ez’obwoya obweru, kiraga mu nsi ey’omu bukiikaddyo.”
7 And the bay went forth, and 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.
Awo embalaasi ezo ez’amaanyi nga zivudde mu maaso ga Mukama, ne zifuba okutambulatambula mu nsi yonna; n’azigamba nti, “Mugende, mutambuletambule mu nsi yonna.” Awo ne zitambulatambula mu nsi yonna.
8 Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.
Awo n’ampita n’aŋŋamba nti, “Laba, ezo eziraga mu nsi ey’obukiikakkono ziwummuzza Omwoyo wange mu nsi ey’omu bukiikakkono.”
9 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijja gye ndi nga kigamba nti,
10 Take of [them of] the captivity, [even] of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which are come from Babylon, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah;
“Genda eri bano: Kerudayi, ne Tobiya, ne Yedaya, abaakomawo okuva mu buwaŋŋanguse mu Babulooni, olunaku olwo lwennyini olage mu nnyumba ya Yosiya, mutabani wa Zeffaniya, mwe bali.
11 Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set [them] upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest;
Ddira effeeza ne zaabu okole engule ogitikkire ku mutwe gwa Yoswa, kabona asinga obukulu, omwana wa Yekozadaaki.
12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name [is] The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:
Mugambe nti, bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye nti, ‘Laba omuntu erinnya lye ye Ttabi; alirokera mu kifo kye, azimbe yeekaalu ya Mukama.
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 he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
Oyo y’alizimba yeekaalu ya Mukama, era alijjula ekitiibwa. Alituula ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka, n’afuga. Era y’aliba Kabona ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka; walibaawo okutegeeragana okw’emirembe wakati wa Ttabi ne Yoswa.’
14 And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of the LORD.
Era n’engule ya kubeera mu yeekaalu ya Mukama ng’ekijjukizo eri Keremu, ne Tobiya ne Keeni omwana wa Zeffaniya.
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 [this] shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.
Era n’abo abali ewala balijja okuyamba okuzimba yeekaalu ya Mukama, era mulimanya nga Mukama ow’Eggye yantuma gye muli. Bino tebirirema kubaawo singa munaagondera eddoboozi lya Mukama Katonda wammwe n’obumalirivu.”
