Zekaria 6
1 Megafɔ kɔ dzi, eye mekpɔ tasiaɖam ene wogbɔna tso to eve dome; to siawo le abe akɔbliga ene.
And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains [were] mountains of brass.
2 Sɔ dzĩwo le tasiaɖam gbãtɔ hem, eye sɔ yibɔwo le tasiaɖam evelia hem.
In the first chariot [were] red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
3 Sɔ ɣiwo le tasiaɖam etɔ̃lia hem, eye sɔ ŋɔŋɔewo le tasiaɖam enelia hem kple ŋusẽ.
And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses.
4 Mebia mawudɔla si nɔ nu ƒom kplim la be, “Nye Aƒetɔ, nu kawoe nye esiawo?”
Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, 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 angel answered and said unto me, These [are] the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before 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.”
The black horses which [are] therein go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth toward the south country.
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 bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.
8 Mawudɔla la yɔm gblɔ nam be, “Kpɔ ɖa, esiwo yi anyiehenyigba dzi la, wotsi nye dɔmedzoe nu le anyiehenyigba la dzi.”
Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.
9 Yehowa ƒe gbe va nam be,
And the word of the LORD came unto 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] the captivity, [even] of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which are come from Babylon, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah;
11 Tsɔ klosalo kple sika la nàwɔ fiakuku, eye nàtsɔe aɖɔ na nunɔlagã Yosua, Yehozadak ƒe vi.
Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set [them] upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high 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 speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name [is] The BRANCH; and he shall grow up 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!
Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between 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 crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial 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] far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. And [this] shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.
