< Zekaria 6 >

1 NANA hou ae la au iluna, ike aku la, aia hoi, puka mai la na halekaa eha mai waena mai o na mauna elua, a he mau mauna keleawe melemele laua.
And again lifting up my eyes I saw four war-carriages coming out from between the two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.
2 Ma ka halekaa mua he mau lio ulaula; ma ka lua o ka halekaa he mau lio eleele;
In the first war-carriage were red horses; and in the second, black horses;
3 I ke kolu o ka halekaa, he mau lio keokeo, a i ka ha o ka halekaa he mau lio kaliko a he makue.
And in the third, white horses; and in the fourth, horses of mixed colour.
4 Alaila, ninau aku laau, i aku la i ka anela i kamailio me au, E ka haku, heaha keia mau mea?
And I made answer and said to the angel who was talking to me, What are these, my lord?
5 Olelo mai la ka anela, i mai la ia'u, Eia na uhane eha o ka lani, e hele ae ana mai kahi a lakou i ku aku ai imua o ka Haku o ka honua a pau.
And the angel, answering, said to me, These go out to the four winds of heaven from their place before the Lord of all the earth.
6 A hele aku no ko laila mau lio eleele i ka aina kukulu akau; a hele aku na mea keokeo mamuli o laua; a hele aku hoi na mea kaliko ma ka aina kukulu hema.
The carriage in which are the black horses goes in the direction of the north country; the white go to the west; and those of mixed colour go in the direction of the south country.
7 Aka, hele iho la na mea makue e imi e holoholo maluna o ka honua: i aku la kela ia lakou, Ou haele, e holoholo ae oukou mai o a o, ma ka honua. A holoholo ae la lakou mai o a o, ma ka honua.
And the red ones go to the east; and they made request that they might go up and down through the earth: and he said, Go up and down through the earth. So they went up and down through the earth.
8 Alaila kahea mai la kela ia'u, i mai la ia'u, Aia hoi, o ka poe i hele ma ka aina kukuluakau, ua hoomalielie lakou i kuu inaina ma ka aina kukuluakau.
Then crying out to me, he said, See, those who are going to the north country have given rest to the spirit of the Lord in the north country.
9 Hiki hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
10 E kono oe i kekahi poe i lawe pio, i ko Heledai, i ko Tobiia, a i ko Iedaia, i ko ka poe i hoi mai, mai Babulona mai, a hele oe a e komo ia la iloko o ka hale o Iosia o ke keiki a Zepania;
Take the offerings of those who went away as prisoners, from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, and from the family of Josiah, the son of Zephaniah, who have come from Babylon;
11 E lawe hoi oe i ke kala a me ke gula, a e hana i k na papale alii, a e kau ia mau mea maluna o ke poo o Iosua o ke keiki a Iosedeka ke kahuna nui;
And take silver and gold and make a crown and put it on the head of Zerubbabel;
12 Penei hoi e olelo aku ai ia ia, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, penei, Aia hoi ke kanaka ua kapaia kona inoa, o ka LALA; e kupu auanei oia mailoko ae o kona wahi, nana no e hana ka luakini o Iehova;
And say to him, These are the words of the Lord of armies: See, the man whose name is the Branch, under whom there will be fertile growth.
13 Nana no e hana ka luakini o Iehova; a nana hoi e lawe ka hanohano, a e alii mai no oia e noho ana maluna o kona nohoalii; a e kahuna no auanei oia maluna o kona nohoalii; a mawaena o laua auanei ka mea e malu ai.
And he will be the builder of the Temple of the Lord; and the glory will be his, and he will take his place as ruler on the seat of power; and Joshua will be a priest at his right hand, and between them there will be a design of peace.
14 A e lilo na papale alii no Helema, no Tobiia, no Iedaia, a no Hena ke keiki a Zepania, i mea hoomanao ai iloko o ka luakini o Iehova.
And the crown will be for grace to Heldai and Tobijah and Jedaiah and the son of Zephaniah, to keep their memory living in the house of the Lord.
15 A e hele mai auanei ka poe mamao, a e hana lakou i ka luakini o Iehova, a e ike auanei oukou, ua hoouna mai o Iehova o na kaua ia'u io oukou la: a e ko auanei keia, ke hoolohe pono oukou i ka leo o Iehova ko oukou Akua.
And those who are far away will come and be builders in the Temple of the Lord, and it will be clear to you that the Lord of armies has sent me to you.
