Zechariah 6
1 And I turn back, and lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, four chariots are coming forth from between two of the mountains, and the mountains [are] mountains of bronze.
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 [are] red horses, and in the second chariot brown 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 strong spotted horses.
na ya gatatũ ĩkaguucio nĩ mbarathi njerũ, nayo ya kana ĩkaguucio nĩ mbarathi cia marooro; ciothe ciarĩ mbarathi ciarĩ na hinya.
4 And I answer and say to the messenger who is speaking with me, “What [are] these, my lord?”
Ngĩũria mũraika ũcio wanjaragĩria atĩrĩ, “Mwathi wakwa, ici nacio nĩ ndũũ?”
5 And the messenger answers and says to me, “These [are] four spirits of the heavens coming forth from presenting themselves before the Lord of the whole earth.
Nake mũraika ũcio akĩnjookeria atĩrĩ, “Maya nĩ maroho marĩa mana ma igũrũ, maroima harĩa marũgamaga mbere ya Mwathani wa thĩ yothe.
6 The brown horses that [are] therein, are coming forth to the land of the north; and the white have come forth to their back part; and the spotted have come forth to the land of the south;
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 strong ones have come forth, and they seek to go to walk up and down in the earth”; and he says, “Go, walk up and down in the earth”; and they walk up and down in 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 And he calls me, and speaks to me, saying, “See, those coming forth to the land of the north have caused My Spirit to rest in the land of the north.”
Ningĩ agĩcooka akĩnjĩta akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ta rora, icio cierekeire bũrũri wa gathigathini nĩitũmĩte Roho wakwa ũgĩe na ũhurũko kũu bũrũri wa gathigathini.”
9 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyanginyĩrire ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
10 “Take of the captivity (who came from Babylon) from Heldai, from Tobijah, and from Jedaiah, and you have come in—you, in that day, indeed, you have come into the house of Josiah 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 and you have taken silver and gold, and have made a crown, and have placed [it] on the head of Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest,
Oya betha na thahabu icio ũthondeke thũmbĩ, ũcooke ũmĩigĩrĩre mũtwe wa Joshua mũrũ wa Jehozadaki, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene.
12 and have spoken to him, saying, Thus spoke YHWH of Hosts, saying, Behold, the Man! A Shoot—[is] His Name, And from His place He shoots up, And He has built the temple of YHWH.
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 Indeed, He builds the temple of YHWH, And He carries away splendor, And He has sat and ruled on His throne, And has been a priest on His throne, And a counsel of peace is between 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 crown is to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of YHWH.
Nayo thũmbĩ ĩyo ĩigwo thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Jehova, ĩrĩ kĩririkano kĩa Helidai, na Tobija, na Jedaia, na Heni mũrũ wa Zefania.
15 And the far-off come in, and they have built in the temple of YHWH, and you have known that YHWH of Hosts has sent me to you, indeed, it has come to pass, if you certainly listen to the voice of your God YHWH.”
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.”
