< Zechariah 6 >

1 And once again I lifted mine eyes, and looked, and lo! four chariots, coming forward from between two mountains, —now, the mountains, were mountains of copper.
Elelikwara m anya elu ọzọ hụ ụgbọ ịnyịnya anọ nke si nʼetiti ugwu abụọ na-apụta. Ugwu ndị a bụ ugwu e ji bronz mee.
2 In the first chariot, were red horses, —and, in the second chariot, black horses;
Ụgbọ ịnyịnya nke mbụ ka ịnyịnya na-acha ọbara ọbara na-adọkpụ. Nke abụọ ka ịnyịnya na-eji nji na-adọkpụ.
3 and, in the third chariot, white horses, —and, in the fourth chariot, horses spotted, deep red.
Nke atọ ka ịnyịnya dị ọcha na-adọkpụ, ma nke anọ ka ịnyịnya tụrụ agwa siekwa ike na-adọkpụ.
4 Then began I, and said, unto the messenger who was speaking with me, —What are these, my lord?
Ajụrụ m mmụọ ozi ahụ na-agwa m okwu, “Gịnị ka ihe ndị a bụ, nna m ukwu?”
5 And the messenger answered, and said unto me, —These, are the four winds of the heavens, coming forward after each hath presented itself near the Lord of all the earth.
Mmụọ ozi ahụ zara m, sị, “Ndị a bụ mmụọ anọ nke eluigwe, ka ha na-apụ mgbe ha guzochara nʼihu Onyenwe elu ụwa niile.
6 They in whose chariot are the black horses, are going forth into the land of the North, and, the white, have gone forth after them, —and, the spotted, have gone forth into the land of the South;
Ụgbọala nke ịnyịnya ndị dị oji na-adọkpụ na-aga nʼakụkụ ugwu. Nke ịnyịnya ndị dị ọcha na-adọkpụ na-aga nʼọdịda anyanwụ. Nke ahụ ndị ịnyịnya na-adịghị ezi ọcha na-adọkpụ na-aga nʼakụkụ ndịda.”
7 and, the deep red, have come forward and sought to go their way, that they might journey to and fro in the land, so he said, Go your way, journey to and fro in the land, —and they journeyed to and fro in the land.
Mgbe ịnyịnya ndị ahụ dị ike pụtara, chọọ ka e nye ha ike ijegharị nʼụwa niile, ọ gwara ha sị, “Gaanụ jegharịa nʼụwa niile.” Nʼihi ya, ha pụrụ jegharịa nʼụwa niile.
8 Then made he outcry beside me, and spake unto me, saying, —See, these who are going forth into the land of the North, have settled my spirit in the land of the North.
Mgbe ahụ, ọ gwara m, “Ndị ahụ jere nʼakụkụ ugwu emeela ka Mmụọ m dajụọ nʼala dị nʼakụkụ ugwu.”
9 Then came the word of Yahweh unto me, saying:
Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
10 Take of them of the exile, of Heldai, and of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, —then shalt, thou thyself, enter, on that day, yea thou shalt enter the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah, [with them] who have come in out of Babylon;
“Gaa nata Heldai, Tobaija na Jedaya, ndị a dọtara nʼagha si Babilọn lọta ọlaọcha na ọlaedo. Nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ, gakwaa nʼụlọ Josaya nwa Zefanaya.
11 yea thou shalt take silver and gold, and make a crown, —and set [it] upon the head of Jehoshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest;
Jiri ọlaọcha na ọlaedo ahụ kpụọ otu okpueze, were ya kpukwasị Joshua nwa Jehozadak bụ onyeisi nchụaja nʼisi.
12 then shalt thou speak unto him, saying, Thus, speaketh Yahweh of hosts, saying, —Lo! a man! Bud, is his name, and, out of his own place, shall he bud forth, and shall build the temple of Yahweh;
Gwa ya na ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru, ‘Nke a bụ nwoke ahụ aha ya bụ Ngalaba. Ọ ga-esi nʼebe nke ya wapụta wuo ụlọnsọ ukwu nke Onyenwe anyị.
13 Yea, he, shall build the temple of Yahweh, and, he, shall bear the honour, and shall sit and rule upon his throne, —and shall become a priest upon his throne, and, the counsel of peace, shall be between the two of them.
Ọ bụ ya ga-arụ ụlọnsọ ukwu nke Onyenwe anyị. A ga-eyikwasịkwa ya ịma mma dịka uwe, ọ ga-anọdụ nʼocheeze ya na-achị. Ọ ga-abụ onye nchụaja ga-anọ nʼocheeze ya, mee ka ịdị nʼotu dịrị nʼetiti ha abụọ.’
14 But, the crown, shall belong to Heldai and to Tobiah and to Jedaiah, and to Hen son of Zephaniah, —for a memorial in the temple of Yahweh.
Okpueze ahụ ka a ga-enye Heldaya, Tobaija, Jedaya na Hen, nwa Zefanaya, ka ọ bụrụ ihe ncheta nʼụlọnsọ ukwu nke Onyenwe anyị.
15 And, they who are afar off, shall come in and shall build at the temple of Yahweh, so shall yea know that, Yahweh of hosts, hath sent me unto you, —and it shall come to pass if ye will, indeed hearken, unto the voice of Yahweh your God.
Ndị nọ nʼebe dị anya ga-esi ebe ahụ bịa nye aka nʼọrụ iwu ụlọnsọ ukwu nke Onyenwe anyị. Unu ga-amatakwa na ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile zitere m ịbịakwute unu. Ihe ndị a niile ga-eme ma ọ bụrụ na unu akpachapụ anya rubere Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu isi.”
