< 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 turned and lifted my eyes and I saw four chariots coming out from between two mountains; and the two mountains were made of bronze.
2 Ma ka halekaa mua he mau lio ulaula; ma ka lua o ka halekaa he mau lio eleele;
The first chariot had red horses, the second chariot had 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 chariot had white horses, and the fourth chariot had spotted gray horses.
4 Alaila, ninau aku laau, i aku la i ka anela i kamailio me au, E ka haku, heaha keia mau mea?
So I answered and said to the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my master?”
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.
The angel answered and said to me, “These are the four winds of heaven that go out from the place where they were standing 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 one with the black horses is going out to the north country; the white horses are going out to the west country; and the spotted gray horses are going out to 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.
These strong horses went out and sought to go and roam over the earth, so the angel said, “Go and roam over the earth!” and they left for all 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 he called out to me and spoke to me and said, “Look at the ones that are going out to the north country; they will appease my spirit concerning the north country.”
9 Hiki hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
So the word of Yahweh 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 an offering from the exiles—from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah—and go this same day and take it into the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah, who has 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;
Then take the silver and gold, make a crown and set it upon the head of Joshua 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;
Speak to him and say, 'Yahweh of hosts says this: This man, his name is Branch! He will grow up where he is and will then build the temple of Yahweh!
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.
It is he who builds the temple of Yahweh, and he will be clothed with royal splendor, and will sit and rule on his throne. He will be a priest on his throne, and he will bear a counsel of peace between the two.
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 given to Heldai, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and for Hen son of Zephaniah as a memorial in the temple of Yahweh.
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.
Then those who are far off will come and build the temple of Yahweh, so you will know that Yahweh of hosts has sent me to you; for this will happen if you truly listen to the voice of Yahweh your God!'”
