Zekaria 6
1 Megafɔ kɔ dzi, eye mekpɔ tasiaɖam ene wogbɔna tso to eve dome; to siawo le abe akɔbliga ene.
Againe, I turned and lift vp mine eyes, and looked: and beholde, there came foure charets out from betweene two mountaines, and the mountaines were mountaines of brasse.
2 Sɔ dzĩwo le tasiaɖam gbãtɔ hem, eye sɔ yibɔwo le tasiaɖam evelia hem.
In the first charet were red horses, and in the second charet blacke horses,
3 Sɔ ɣiwo le tasiaɖam etɔ̃lia hem, eye sɔ ŋɔŋɔewo le tasiaɖam enelia hem kple ŋusẽ.
And in the thirde charet white horses, and in the fourth charet, horses of diuers colours, and reddish.
4 Mebia mawudɔla si nɔ nu ƒom kplim la be, “Nye Aƒetɔ, nu kawoe nye esiawo?”
Then I answered, and saide vnto the Angell that talked with mee, What are these, my Lord?
5 Eɖo eŋu nam be, “Woawoe nye gbɔgbɔ ene siwo tso dziƒo, wonɔa anyigba la ƒe Aƒetɔ ŋkume ɖaa; ke azɔ la, edɔ wo ɖe dɔgbe.
And the Angell answered, and sayde vnto mee, These are the foure spirites of the heauen, which goe foorth from standing with the Lord of all the earth.
6 Tasiaɖam si ŋuti sɔ yibɔwo le la aɖo ta dukɔ si le anyiehe, esi ŋuti sɔ ɣiwo le la ayi ɣetoɖoƒe, eye esi ŋuti wotsi sɔ ŋɔŋɔewo ɖo la ayi dziehe.”
That with the blacke horse went forth into the land of the North, and the white went out after them, and they of diuers colours went forth toward the South countrey.
7 Esi sɔ sesẽawo do go la, wodze agbagba be woatsa le anyigba blibo la dzi. Egblɔ be, “Miyi miatsa le anyigba la katã dzi.” Ale woyi ɖatsa le anyigba blibo la dzi.
And the reddish went out, and required to go, and passe through the world, and he sayde, Goe passe through the worlde. So they went thorowout the world.
8 Mawudɔla la yɔm gblɔ nam be, “Kpɔ ɖa, esiwo yi anyiehenyigba dzi la, wotsi nye dɔmedzoe nu le anyiehenyigba la dzi.”
Then cryed hee vpon me, and spake vnto me, saying, Beholde, these that goe towarde the North countrey, haue pacified my spirit in the North countrey.
9 Yehowa ƒe gbe va nam be,
And the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
10 “Xɔ klosalo kple sika le Heldai, Tobiya kple Yedaia, ame siwo gbɔ tso aboyome le Babilonia la si. Yi ɖe Zefania, Yosia ƒe vi hã ƒe aƒe me gbe ma gbe ke.
Take of them of ye captiuitie, euen of Heldai, and of Tobijah, and Iedaiah, which are come from Babel, and come thou the same day, and goe vnto the house of Ioshiah, the sonne of Zephaniah.
11 Tsɔ klosalo kple sika la nàwɔ fiakuku, eye nàtsɔe aɖɔ na nunɔlagã Yosua, Yehozadak ƒe vi.
Take euen siluer, and golde, and make crownes, and set them vpon the head of Iehoshua, the sonne of Iehozadak the hie Priest,
12 Gblɔ nɛ be ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔe nye esi. Esiae nye ŋutsu si ƒe ŋkɔe nye Atilɔ, adze tso enɔƒe, eye wòatu Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ.
And speake vnto him, saying, Thus speaketh the Lord of hostes, and sayth, Behold the man whose name is the Branch, and he shall growe vp out of his place, and he shall build the Temple of the Lord.
13 Eyae nye ame si atu Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ, woaɖo fianyenye ƒe atsyɔ̃ nɛ, eye wòanɔ eƒe fiazikpui dzi aɖu fia. Anye nunɔla anɔ eƒe fiazikpui dzi, ekema fianyenye kple nunɔlanyenye awɔ ɖeka!
Euen hee shall build the Temple of the Lord, and he shall beare the glory, and shall sit and rule vpon his throne, and he shalbe a Priest vpon his throne, and the counsell of peace shall be betweene them both.
14 Woatsɔ fiakuku la na Heldai, Tobiya Yedaia kple Hen, Zefania ƒe vi, abe ŋkuɖodzinu ene le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me.
And the crownes shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Iedaiah, and to Hen the sonne of Zephaniah, for a memoriall in the Temple of the Lord.
15 Ame siwo le didiƒe ke la ava, akpe asi ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la tutu ŋu, ekema mianyae be Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae dɔm ɖe mia gbɔ. Esia ava eme nenye be mieɖo to Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ƒe gbe pɛpɛpɛ.”
And they that are farre off, shall come and build in the Temple of the Lord, and ye shall know, that the Lord of hostes hath sent me vnto you. And this shall come to passe, if ye will obey the voyce of the Lord your God.
