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 once again I lifted mine eyes, and looked, and lo! four chariots, coming forward from between two mountains, —now, the mountains, were mountains of copper.
2 Karusa ta farko tana da jajjayen dawakai, ta biyu kuma baƙaƙen dawakai,
In the first chariot, were red horses, —and, in the second chariot, black horses;
3 ta ukun farare dawakai, ta huɗu kuma dawakai masu ɗigo-ɗigo a dukan jikinsu, dukansu kuwa ƙarfafa.
and, in the third chariot, white horses, —and, in the fourth chariot, horses spotted, deep red.
4 Sai na tambayi mala’ikan da yake magana da ni na ce, “Mene ne waɗannan, ranka yă daɗe?”
Then began I, and said, unto the messenger 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 messenger answered, and said unto me, —These, are the four winds of the heavens, coming forward after each hath presented itself near 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.”
They in whose chariot are the black horses, are going forth into the land of the North, and, the white, have gone forth after them, —and, the spotted, have gone forth into the land of 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.
and, the deep red, have come forward and sought to go their way, that they might journey to and fro in the land, so he said, Go your way, journey to and fro in the land, —and they journeyed to and fro in the land.
8 Sai ya kira ni ya ce, “Duba, waɗanda suka nufi wajen ƙasar arewa sun ba wa Ruhuna hutu a ƙasar arewa.”
Then made he outcry beside me, and spake unto me, saying, —See, these who are going forth into the land of the North, have settled my spirit in the land of the North.
9 Maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini, ta ce,
Then came the word of Yahweh unto 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 of them of the exile, of Heldai, and of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, —then shalt, thou thyself, enter, on that day, yea thou shalt enter the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah, [with them] who have come in out of Babylon;
11 Ka ɗauki azurfar da zinariyar ka yi rawani, ka ɗora shi a kan babban firist, Yoshuwa ɗan Yehozadak.
yea thou shalt take silver and gold, and make a crown, —and set [it] upon the head of Jehoshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest;
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.
then shalt thou speak unto him, saying, Thus, speaketh Yahweh of hosts, saying, —Lo! a man! Bud, is his name, and, out of his own place, shall he bud forth, and shall build the temple of Yahweh;
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.’
Yea, he, shall build the temple of Yahweh, and, he, shall bear the honour, and shall sit and rule upon his throne, —and shall become a priest upon his throne, and, the counsel of peace, shall be between the two of them.
14 Za a ba Heldai, Tobiya, Yedahiya da kuma Hen ɗan Zefaniya kamar abin tunawa a cikin haikalin Ubangiji.
But, the crown, shall belong to Heldai and to Tobiah and to Jedaiah, and to Hen son of Zephaniah, —for a memorial in the temple of Yahweh.
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.”
And, they who are afar off, shall come in and shall build at the temple of Yahweh, so shall yea know that, Yahweh of hosts, hath sent me unto you, —and it shall come to pass if ye will, indeed hearken, unto the voice of Yahweh your God.
