Zechariah 6
1 And I turn back, and lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, four chariots are coming forth from between two of the mountains, and the mountains [are] mountains of brass.
Ndinayangʼananso ndipo taonani ndinaona magaleta anayi akutuluka pakati pa mapiri awiri, mapiri amkuwa.
2 In the first chariot [are] red horses, and in the second chariot brown horses,
Galeta loyamba limakokedwa ndi akavalo ofiira, lachiwiri ndi akavalo akuda,
3 and in the third chariot white horses, and in the fourth chariot strong grisled horses.
lachitatu ndi akavalo oyera, ndipo lachinayi ndi akavalo otuwa a mawanga ofiirira, onsewa anali akavalo amphamvu kwambiri.
4 And I answer and say unto the messenger who is speaking with me, 'What [are] these, my lord?'
Ndinafunsa mngelo amene amayankhula nane uja kuti, “Kodi mbuye wanga chimenechi nʼchiyani?”
5 And the messenger answereth and saith unto me, 'These [are] four spirits of the heavens coming forth from presenting themselves before the Lord of the whole earth.
Mngeloyo anandiyankha kuti, “Imeneyi ndi mizimu inayi yakumwamba, imene ikuchokera pamaso pa Ambuye wa dziko lonse.
6 The brown horses that [are] therein, are coming forth unto the land of the north; and the white have come forth unto their hinder part; and the grisled have come forth unto the land of the south;
Galeta la akavalo akuda likupita ku dziko la kumpoto, galeta la akavalo oyera likutsatira, ndipo galeta la akavalo amawanga ofiirira likupita ku dziko la kummwera.”
7 and the strong ones have come forth, and they seek to go to walk up and down in the earth;' and he saith, 'Go, walk up and down in the earth;' and they walk up and down in the earth.
Pamene akavalo amphamvuwa ankapita, anali ndi changu chofuna kuyendera dziko lapansi. Ndipo iye anati, “Pitani, kayendereni dziko lapansi!”
8 And he calleth me, and speaketh unto me, saying, 'See, those coming forth unto the land of the north have caused My Spirit to rest in the land of the north.'
Pamenepo anandiyitana, “Taona, akavalo amene apita ku dziko la kumpoto apumulitsa Mzimu wanga kumeneko.”
9 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
Yehova anayankhula nane kuti,
10 to take of the captivity (who came from Babylon) from Heldai, from Tobijah, and from Jedaiah, 'and thou hast come in — thou, in that day, yea, thou hast come into the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah,
“Landira mphatso kuchokera kwa anthu amene abwera ku ukapolo, Helidai, Tobiya ndi Yedaya, amene achokera ku Babuloni. Tsiku lomwelo pita ku nyumba ya Yosiya mwana wa Zefaniya.
11 and thou hast taken silver and gold, and hast made a crown, and hast placed on the head of Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest,
Tenga siliva ndi golide upange chipewa chaufumu, ndipo uchiyike pamutu pa mkulu wa ansembe, Yoswa mwana wa Yehozadaki.
12 and hast spoken unto him, saying: Thus spake Jehovah of Hosts, saying: Lo, a man! A Shoot — [is] his name, And from his place he doth shoot up, And he hath built the temple of Jehovah.
Muwuze kuti zimene akunena Yehova Wamphamvuzonse ndi izi: ‘Taonani, munthu wotchedwa Nthambi ndi ameneyu, ndipo adzaphuka pomwe alipo ndi kumanga Nyumba ya Yehova.
13 Yea, he doth build the temple of Jehovah, And he doth bear away honour, And he hath sat and ruled on His throne, And hath been a priest on His throne, And a counsel of peace is between both.
Ndiye amene adzamange Nyumba ya Yehova, adzalandira ulemerero waufumu ndipo adzalamulira pa mpando wake waufumu. Adzakhalanso wansembe pa mpando wake waufumu. Ndipo padzakhala mtendere.’
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 Jehovah.
Chipewa cha ufumucho adzachipereka kwa Helemu, Tobiya, Yedaya, ndi kwa Heni mwana wa Zefaniya, kuti chikhale chikumbutso mʼNyumba ya Yehova.
15 And the far-off come in, and they have built in the temple of Jehovah, and ye have known that Jehovah of Hosts hath sent me unto you, yea, it hath come to pass, if ye do certainly hearken to the voice of Jehovah your God.'
Anthu okhala kutali adzabwera kudzathandiza kumanga Nyumba ya Yehova, ndipo iwe udzadziwa kuti Yehova Wamphamvuzonse wandituma kwa iwe. Zimenezi zidzachitika ngati mudzamvera mwachangu Yehova Mulungu wanu.”
