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 I turn back, and lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, four chariots are coming forth from between two of the mountains, and the mountains [are] mountains of bronze.
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 [are] red horses, and in the second chariot brown 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 spotted horses.
4 Ajụrụ m mmụọ ozi ahụ na-agwa m okwu, “Gịnị ka ihe ndị a bụ, nna m ukwu?”
And I answer and say to the messenger who is speaking 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 messenger answers and says to me, “These [are] four spirits of the heavens coming forth from presenting themselves before the Lord of the whole 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 brown horses that [are] therein, are coming forth to the land of the north; and the white have come forth to their back part; and the spotted have come forth to the land of the south;
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 have come forth, and they seek to go to walk up and down in the earth”; and he says, “Go, walk up and down in the earth”; and they walk up and down in the earth.
8 Mgbe ahụ, ọ gwara m, “Ndị ahụ jere nʼakụkụ ugwu emeela ka Mmụọ m dajụọ nʼala dị nʼakụkụ ugwu.”
And he calls me, and speaks to me, saying, “See, those coming forth to the land of the north have caused My Spirit to rest in the land of the north.”
9 Okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
And there is a word of YHWH 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 of the captivity (who came from Babylon) from Heldai, from Tobijah, and from Jedaiah, and you have come in—you, in that day, indeed, you have come into the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah,
11 Jiri ọlaọcha na ọlaedo ahụ kpụọ otu okpueze, were ya kpukwasị Joshua nwa Jehozadak bụ onyeisi nchụaja nʼisi.
and you have taken silver and gold, and have made a crown, and have placed [it] on the head of Joshua son of Josedech, 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 have spoken to him, saying, Thus spoke YHWH of Hosts, saying, Behold, the Man! A Shoot—[is] His Name, And from His place He shoots up, And He has built the temple of YHWH.
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.’
Indeed, He builds the temple of YHWH, And He carries away splendor, And He has sat and ruled on His throne, And has been a priest on His throne, And a counsel of peace is between 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 crown is to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of YHWH.
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 the far-off come in, and they have built in the temple of YHWH, and you have known that YHWH of Hosts has sent me to you, indeed, it has come to pass, if you certainly listen to the voice of your God YHWH.”
