< Zakariya 6 >
1 Na sāke ɗaga kai sama, sai ga kekunan yaƙi guda huɗu a gabana suna fitowa tsakanin duwatsu guda biyu, duwatsun tagulla!
And again I lifted up my eyes and saw four chariots coming out from between two mountains—mountains of bronze.
2 Karusa ta farko tana da jajjayen dawakai, ta biyu kuma baƙaƙen dawakai,
The first chariot had red horses, the second black horses,
3 ta ukun farare dawakai, ta huɗu kuma dawakai masu ɗigo-ɗigo a dukan jikinsu, dukansu kuwa ƙarfafa.
the third white horses, and the fourth dappled horses—all of them strong.
4 Sai na tambayi mala’ikan da yake magana da ni na ce, “Mene ne waɗannan, ranka yă daɗe?”
So I inquired of the angel who was speaking with me, “What are these, my lord?”
5 Mala’ikan ya amsa mini ya ce, “Waɗannan su ne ruhohi huɗu na sama, waɗanda suka fito daga wurin Ubangiji na dukan duniya.
And the angel told me, “These are the four spirits of heaven, going forth from their station before the Lord of all the earth.
6 Wannan mai baƙaƙen dawakai zai nufi wajen ƙasar arewa, mai fararen dawakai zai nufi wajen yamma, sai kuma mai dawakai masu ɗigo-ɗigo a jiki zai nufi wajen kudu.”
The one with the black horses is going toward the land of the north, the one with the white horses toward the west, and the one with the dappled horses toward the south.”
7 Da ƙarfafa dawakan suka fito, sai suka yi marmari su ratsa dukan duniya. Sai ya ce, “Ku ratsa dukan duniya!” Saboda haka suka ratsa dukan duniya.
As the strong horses went out, they were eager to go and patrol the earth; and the LORD said, “Go and patrol the earth.” So they patrolled the earth.
8 Sai ya kira ni ya ce, “Duba, waɗanda suka nufi wajen ƙasar arewa sun ba wa Ruhuna hutu a ƙasar arewa.”
Then the LORD summoned me and said, “Behold, those going to the land of the north have given rest to My Spirit in the land of the north.”
9 Maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini, ta ce,
The word of the LORD also came to me, saying,
10 “Ka karɓi azurfa da zinariya daga masu zaman bauta Heldai, Tobiya, Yedahiya, waɗanda suka iso daga Babilon. A ranar kuma ka je gidan Yosiya ɗan Zefaniya.
“Take an offering from the exiles—from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, who have arrived from Babylon—and go that same day to the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah.
11 Ka ɗauki azurfar da zinariyar ka yi rawani, ka ɗora shi a kan babban firist, Yoshuwa ɗan Yehozadak.
Take silver and gold, make an ornate crown, and set it on the head of the high priest, Joshua son of Jehozadak.
12 Ka ce masa ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, ‘Ga mutumin da sunansa ne Reshe, zai kuma ratse daga inda yake yă gina haikalin Ubangiji.
And you are to tell him that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Here is a man whose name is the Branch, and He will branch out from His place and build the temple of the LORD.
13 Shi ne zai gina haikalin Ubangiji, za a kuma martaba shi da daraja, zai kuma zauna yă yi mulki a kan kursiyinsa. Zai zama firist a kan kursiyinsa. Kuma a tsakanin biyun za a sami zaman lafiya.’
Yes, He will build the temple of the LORD; He will be clothed in splendor and will sit on His throne and rule. And He will be a priest on His throne, and there will be peaceful counsel between the two.’
14 Za a ba Heldai, Tobiya, Yedahiya da kuma Hen ɗan Zefaniya kamar abin tunawa a cikin haikalin Ubangiji.
The crown will reside in the temple of the LORD as a memorial to Helem, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and the gracious son of Zephaniah.
15 Waɗanda suke nesa za su zo su taimaka gina haikalin Ubangiji, za ku kuma san cewa Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ne ya aiko ni gare ku. Wannan zai faru in kuka yi biyayya sosai ga Ubangiji Allahnku.”
Even those far away will come and build the temple of the LORD, and you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me to you. This will happen if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.”
