< Zechariah 6 >

1 Again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and look, four chariots came out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of bronze.
Tango natalaki lisusu, namonaki bashar minei liboso na ngai: ezali kobima na kati-kati ya bangomba mibale ya bronze.
2 In the first chariot were red horses; in the second chariot black horses;
Bampunda ya langi ya motane makasi ezalaki kobenda shar ya liboso, mpe bampunda ya langi ya mwindo ezalaki kobenda shar oyo ya mibale.
3 in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot dappled horses, all of them powerful.
Bampunda ya langi ya pembe ezalaki kobenda shar oyo ya misato, bampunda ya madodo-madodo ezalaki kobenda shar oyo ya minei. Bampunda nyonso ya madodo-madodo ezalaki makasi.
4 Then I asked the angel who talked with me, "What are these, my lord?"
Natunaki Anjelu oyo azalaki kosolola na ngai: — Bampunda nyonso oyo elakisi nini, nkolo na ngai?
5 The angel answered me, "These are the four winds of the sky, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
Azongiselaki ngai: — Ezali Molimo ya likolo oyo akokende na bangambo nyonso minei ya mokili mobimba. Atelemaki liboso ya Nkolo ya mokili mobimba mpe sik’oyo abimi.
6 The one with the black horses goes out toward the north country; and the white went out after them; and the dappled went forth toward the south country."
Shar oyo bampunda ya langi ya mwindo ezali kobenda ezali kokende na mokili ya nor; shar oyo bampunda ya langi ya pembe ezali kobenda ezali kolanda oyo ya liboso, mpe shar oyo bampunda ya madodo-madodo ezali kobenda ezali kokende na mokili ya sude.
7 The strong went out, and sought to go that they might walk back and forth through the earth: and he said, "Go around and through the earth." So they walked back and forth through the earth.
Bampunda nyonso ya makasi ebimaki mpe etondaki na posa makasi ya kotambola na mabele. Boye, Anjelu alobaki na yango: « Bokende kotambola na mokili! » Mpe ebimaki mpo na kokende kotambola na mabele.
8 Then he called to me, and spoke to me, saying, "Look, those who go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country."
Abengaki ngai mpe alobaki na ngai: — Tala, bampunda oyo ezali kokende na mokili ya nor ekosala ete Molimo na ngai avanda na mokili wana ya nor.
9 The word of YHWH came to me, saying,
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
10 "Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah; and come the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, where they have come from Babylon.
— Kamata palata mpe wolo epai ya Elidayi, Tobiya mpe Yedaeya, ba-oyo bawuti na bowumbu wuta na Babiloni; mpe na mokolo yango kaka, kende yo moko na ndako ya Joziasi, mwana mobali ya Sofoni, epai wapi bakomeli.
11 Take silver and gold, and make a crown, and set it on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest;
Kamata palata mpe wolo mpo ete osalela yango motole; bongo okolatisa yango Jozue, mwana mobali ya Yeotsadaki, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe.
12 and speak to him, saying, 'Thus says YHWH of hosts, "Look, the man whose name is the Branch: and he shall grow up out of his place; and he shall build the temple of YHWH;
Okoyebisa ye maloba oyo: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: ‹ Tala moto oyo kombo na ye ezali: Moto ya nzete. Nyonso ekobota esika ye azali, mpe ezali ye nde akotonga Tempelo ya Yawe.
13 even he shall build the temple of YHWH; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule on his throne; and he shall be a priest on his throne; and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
Ezali ye nde akotonga Tempelo ya Yawe; bakolatisa ye bilembo ya lokumu, mpe akovanda na kiti ya bokonzi mpo na kokonza. Mpe wana kaka na kiti na ye ya bokonzi, akozala mpe Nganga-Nzambe. Bongo misala nyonso mibale, ezala ya bokonzi to ya bonganga-Nzambe, ekotambola malamu. › »
14 And the crown shall be to Heldai, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Josiah the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of YHWH.
Bakobomba motole yango kati na Tempelo ya Yawe lokola ekaniseli mpo na kokanisa motema malamu ya Elidayi, ya Tobiya, ya Yedaeya mpe ya Eleme, mwana mobali ya Sofoni.
15 Those who are far off shall come and build in the temple of YHWH; and you shall know that YHWH of hosts has sent me to you. This will happen, if you will diligently obey the voice of YHWH your God."'"
Bato oyo bakowuta mosika penza bakoya mpo na kosunga misala ya kotonga Tempelo ya Yawe, bongo bokoyeba solo ete Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, nde atindaki ngai epai na bino. Makambo oyo ekokokisama solo soki boluki kotosa Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
