< 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.
Ani ammas ol nan milʼadhe; kunoo gaariiwwan afur kanneen gaarran lama jechuunis tulluuwwan naasii gidduu gad baʼan nan arge!
2 In the first chariot [are] red horses, and in the second chariot brown horses,
Gaariin jalqabaa fardeen didiimoo, lammaffaan gugurraa,
3 and in the third chariot white horses, and in the fourth chariot strong spotted horses.
sadaffaan adaadii, afuraffaan immoo farda daamaa qaba ture; isaan hundinuu jajjaboo turan.
4 And I answer and say to the messenger who is speaking with me, “What [are] these, my lord?”
Anis, “Yaa gooftaa ko, isaan kunneen maali?” jedheen ergamaa Waaqayyoo natti dubbachaa ture sana gaafadhe.
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.
Ergamaan Waaqayyoo sunis akkana jedhee naaf deebise; “Isaan kunneen hafuurota samii afran fuula Gooftaa lafa hundaa dura iddoo dhaabachaa turanii gad baʼanii dha.
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;
Kan fardeen gugurraa qabu gara biyya kaabaa deema; kan fardeen adaadii qabu gara biyya lixa biiftuu deema; kan fardeen daamaa qabu immoo gara biyya kibbaa deemaa.”
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.
Fardeen jajjaboon sun yeroo gad baʼanitti guutummaa lafaa irra asii fi achi deemuu barbaadanii turan. Innis “Guutummaa lafaa irra deemaa!” jedheen. Kanaafuu isaan guutummaa lafaa irra deeman.
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.”
Ergasii inni na waamee, “Ilaali, warri gara biyya kaabaa deeman sun biyya kaabaatti Hafuura koo boqochiisaniiru” naan jedhe.
9 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe;
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,
“Boojiʼamtoota Baabilon irraa dhufan jechuunis Heldaayi, Xoobbiyaa fi Yedaaʼiyaa irraa meetii fi warqee fuudhi. Gaafasuma gara mana Yosiyaas ilma Sefaaniyaa dhaqi.
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,
Meetii fi warqee sana fuudhiitii gonfoo tolchi; gonfoo sanas mataa Iyyaasuu lubicha ol aanaa ilma Yehoozaadaaq irra kaaʼi.
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.
Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha, jedhii itti himi: ‘Kunoo namichi maqaan isaa Damee jedhamu tokko as jira; innis damee baasee iddoo isaatii dagaagee dhaqee mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo ijaara.
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.
Namni mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo ijaaru isa; inni ulfina uffatee teessoo isaa irra taaʼee ni bulcha. Inni teessoo isaa irratti luba taʼa. Walii galteen nagaas isaan lamaan gidduu ni jiraata.’
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.
Gonfoon sunis yaadannoo Heelem, Xoobbiyaa, Yedaaʼiyaatii fi Heeni ilma Sefaaniyaa tiif mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessa ni kaaʼama.
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.”
Warri fagoo jiraatan dhufanii ijaarsa mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo ni gargaaru; isinis akka Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu isinitti na erge ni beektu. Yoo isin akka gaarii Waaqayyo Waaqa keessaniif ajajamtan wanni kun ni taʼa.”
