< 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.
Then I looked again and I saw four chariots coming out from between two mountains that looked like bronze.
2 Ma ka halekaa mua he mau lio ulaula; ma ka lua o ka halekaa he mau lio eleele;
The first chariot was pulled by red horses, the second by 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.
the third by white horses, and the fourth by dappled grey horses—all of them strong horses.
4 Alaila, ninau aku laau, i aku la i ka anela i kamailio me au, E ka haku, heaha keia mau mea?
“My lord, what are these?” I asked the angel I was talking to.
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.
“They are going out to the four winds of heaven, after presenting themselves to the Lord of all the earth,” the angel explained.
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 chariot with the black horses went north, the one with the white horses went west, and the one with the dappled grey horses went south.
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.
When the strong horses came out they were eager to set off to patrol the earth. And he said, “Go and patrol the earth!” So they left and patrolled 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 the angel called to me, saying, “Look! Those who went north have achieved what the Lord wanted in the land of the north.”
9 Hiki hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
Then the Lord gave me another message:
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 gifts brought by Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, the exiles returning from Babylon, and go immediately to the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah.
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;
Use the silver and the gold they brought to make a crown, and place it on the head of Josiah, son of Jehozadak, the high priest.
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;
Tell him this is what the Lord Almighty says: Look! The man who is called the Branch will grow from where he is and will build the Lord's Temple.
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.
He is the one who will build the Lord's Temple, and he will be the one given the honor to rule from both the royal throne and the priestly throne and there will be peace and understanding between the two roles.
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.
The crown will be kept in the Temple of the Lord as a memorial to Heldai, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and Joshua the son of Zephaniah.
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.
People who live in distant lands will come and build the Temple of the Lord, and you will know that the Lord Almighty sent me to you. This will happen if you listen attentively to what the Lord tells you.
