Zechariah 6
1 I looked up again, and [in the vision] I saw four chariots coming toward me. [They were coming] between two mountains [that were made] of bronze.
Natingʼo wangʼa kendo, mi napo kaneno geche angʼwen mag lweny kabiro kowuok e kind gode ariyo ma gin gode mag mula!
2 The first chariot [was pulled by] red horses, the second chariot [was pulled by] black horses,
Gari mokwongo ne nigi farese masilwende, to mar ariyo ne nigi marotenge;
3 the third chariot [was pulled by] white horses, and the fourth chariot [was pulled by] spotted gray horses. They were all very strong horses.
mar adek ne nigi marochere, to mar angʼwen ne nigi marangʼeye, kendo giduto ne gin gi teko mathoth.
4 I asked the angel who had been speaking to me, “Sir, what do those chariots mean?”
Napenjo malaika mane loso koda niya, “Magi gin angʼo, ruodha?”
5 The angel replied, “They have come from standing in the presence of the Lord who controls/rules the entire earth. They will go across the sky in four directions.
Eka malaika nodwoka niya, “Magi gin chunje angʼwen mag polo machungʼ e nyim Ruoth Nyasaye mar piny ngima kendo oseorogi mondo gidhi gitine.
6 The chariot [pulled by] black horses will go north, the [one pulled by] white horses will go west, the one [pulled by] spotted gray horses will go south.”
Gari man-gi farese marotenge dhiyo kochomo yo nyandwat, gari man-gi farese marochere dhi kochomo yo podho chiengʼ, to gari man-gi farese marongʼeye dhi kochomo yo milambo.”
7 When those powerful horses left, their [chariot-drivers] were eager to go throughout the world. [As they were leaving, ] the angel said to them, “Go throughout the world [and see what is happening]!” So that is what they did.
Kane farese marotekego ne owuok, negidwaro mar dhi e tunge piny koni gi koni. Ne owachonegi niya, “Dhiuru uwuothi e piny koni gi koni!” Omiyo ne giwuok mi gidhi e piny koni gi koni.
8 Then the angel called to me [and said], “Look/Listen, the [drivers of the] chariots that have gone north will do what the Spirit [of Yahweh wants them to do] there.”
Eka noluonga kowachona niya, “Mago madhiyo nyandwatgo osemiyo chunya olendo gi piny ma yo nyandwatno.”
9 Then Yahweh gave me [another] message.
Wach Jehova Nyasaye nochako obirona kendo, kawachona niya,
10 He said, “Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah will be bringing some silver and gold from the people who were (exiled in/forced to go to) Babylon. As soon as they arrive, go to the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah.
“Kaw fedha gi dhahabu kuom Heldai, Tobija kod Jedaya, ma gin joma osechopo koa e twech Babulon. Dhiyo odiechiengʼ ma gidonjoeno, e od Josia wuod Zefania.
11 Take [some of that] silver and gold from them and make a crown. Then put it on the head of Jehozadak’s son Joshua, the Supreme Priest.
Kaw fedha gi dhahabu ilosgo osimbo mondo isidh ewi Joshua wuod Jehozadak, jadolo maduongʼ.
12 Tell him that [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say that the man who is called the Branch will come. He will leave the place where he is now, and he will [supervise those who] build my temple.
Nyise ni Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho kama: ‘Ma e ngʼat ma nyinge iluongo ni Bad Yath, kendo obiro dongo maber kama entie mi oger hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
13 He is the one who [will tell those who] will build my temple [what to do]. He will wear royal clothing and he will sit on his throne and rule. There will also be a priest [sitting] next to his throne, and the two of them will work together harmoniously.
En ema obiro gero hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kolocho e kom duongʼ mare. Enobed jadolo e kom duongʼne, kendo ginibed gi winjruok e kindgi ji ariyogo.’
14 The crown must be [kept] in my temple to remind people of what Heldai, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and Josiah [did for them].
Osimbo ibiro mi Heldai, Tobija, Jedaya kod Hen wuod Zefania kaka gir rapar ei hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
15 People who are [living] far away will come and [help to] build my temple. When that happens, the people will know that [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, have sent you to them. [That will happen] if they faithfully obey me, Yahweh, your/their God.”
Kendo joma ni mabor nobi mi gedi e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, kendo iningʼe ni Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ema oseora iri. To mano notimre mana ka uyie winjo wach Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi.”
