1 Elelikwara m anya elu ọzọ hụ ụgbọ ịnyịnya anọ nke si nʼetiti ugwu abụọ na-apụta. Ugwu ndị a bụ ugwu e ji bronz mee.
And again I lifted up my eyes, and looked. And, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains, and the mountains were mountains of brass.
2 Ụgbọ ịnyịnya nke mbụ ka ịnyịnya na-acha ọbara ọbara na-adọkpụ. Nke abụọ ka ịnyịnya na-eji nji na-adọkpụ.
In the first chariot were red horses, and in the second chariot black horses,
3 Nke atọ ka ịnyịnya dị ọcha na-adọkpụ, ma nke anọ ka ịnyịnya tụrụ agwa siekwa ike na-adọkpụ.
and in the third chariot white horses, and in the fourth chariot strong grizzled horses.
4 Ajụrụ m mmụọ ozi ahụ na-agwa m okwu, “Gịnị ka ihe ndị a bụ, nna m ukwu?”
Then I answered and said to the agent who talked with me, What are these, my lord?
5 Mmụọ ozi ahụ zara m, sị, “Ndị a bụ mmụọ anọ nke eluigwe, ka ha na-apụ mgbe ha guzochara nʼihu Onyenwe elu ụwa niile.
And the agent answered and said to me, These are the four winds of heaven, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
6 Ụgbọala nke ịnyịnya ndị dị oji na-adọkpụ na-aga nʼakụkụ ugwu. Nke ịnyịnya ndị dị ọcha na-adọkpụ na-aga nʼọdịda anyanwụ. Nke ahụ ndị ịnyịnya na-adịghị ezi ọcha na-adọkpụ na-aga nʼakụkụ ndịda.”
The chariot in which are the black horses goes forth toward the north country, and the white went forth after them, and the grizzled went forth toward the south country.
7 Mgbe ịnyịnya ndị ahụ dị ike pụtara, chọọ ka e nye ha ike ijegharị nʼụwa niile, ọ gwara ha sị, “Gaanụ jegharịa nʼụwa niile.” Nʼihi ya, ha pụrụ jegharịa nʼụwa niile.
And the strong ones went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth. And he said, Get you from here. Walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.
8 Mgbe ahụ, ọ gwara m, “Ndị ahụ jere nʼakụkụ ugwu emeela ka Mmụọ m dajụọ nʼala dị nʼakụkụ ugwu.”
Then he cried to me, and spoke to me, saying, Behold, those who go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.
9 Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
10 “Gaa nata Heldai, Tobaija na Jedaya, ndị a dọtara nʼagha si Babilọn lọta ọlaọcha na ọlaedo. Nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ, gakwaa nʼụlọ Josaya nwa Zefanaya.
Take from those of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, where they have come from Babylon.
11 Jiri ọlaọcha na ọlaedo ahụ kpụọ otu okpueze, were ya kpukwasị Joshua nwa Jehozadak bụ onyeisi nchụaja nʼisi.
Yea, take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest.
12 Gwa ya na ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwuru, ‘Nke a bụ nwoke ahụ aha ya bụ Ngalaba. Ọ ga-esi nʼebe nke ya wapụta wuo ụlọnsọ ukwu nke Onyenwe anyị.
And speak to him, saying, Thus speaks Jehovah of hosts, saying, Behold, the man whose name is the Branch. And he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of Jehovah,
13 Ọ bụ ya ga-arụ ụlọnsọ ukwu nke Onyenwe anyị. A ga-eyikwasịkwa ya ịma mma dịka uwe, ọ ga-anọdụ nʼocheeze ya na-achị. Ọ ga-abụ onye nchụaja ga-anọ nʼocheeze ya, mee ka ịdị nʼotu dịrị nʼetiti ha abụọ.’
even he shall build the temple of Jehovah. And he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne. And he shall be a priest upon his throne, and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
14 Okpueze ahụ ka a ga-enye Heldaya, Tobaija, Jedaya na Hen, nwa Zefanaya, ka ọ bụrụ ihe ncheta nʼụlọnsọ ukwu nke Onyenwe anyị.
And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of Jehovah.
15 Ndị nọ nʼebe dị anya ga-esi ebe ahụ bịa nye aka nʼọrụ iwu ụlọnsọ ukwu nke Onyenwe anyị. Unu ga-amatakwa na ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile zitere m ịbịakwute unu. Ihe ndị a niile ga-eme ma ọ bụrụ na unu akpachapụ anya rubere Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu isi.”
And those who are far off shall come and build in the temple of Jehovah. And ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts has sent me to you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of Jehovah your God.
