Zacarias 6
1 Kalpasanna, timmalliawak ken timmangadak, ket nakitak ti uppat a karuahe a rumrummuar manipud iti nagbaetan dagiti dua a bronse a bantay.
Then I looked again and I saw four chariots coming out from between two mountains that looked like bronze.
2 Guyguyoden dagiti nalabaga a kabalio ti umuna a karuahe, guyguyoden dagiti nangisit a kabalio ti maikadua a karuahe,
The first chariot was pulled by red horses, the second by black horses,
3 guyguyoden dagiti puraw a kabalio ti maikatlo a karuahe, ken guyguyoden dagiti labang a maris dapo a kabalio ti maikapat a karuahe.
the third by white horses, and the fourth by dappled grey horses—all of them strong horses.
4 Isu a kinunak iti anghel a nakisarsarita kaniak, “Apok, ania dagitoy?”
“My lord, what are these?” I asked the angel I was talking to.
5 Simmungbat ti anghel ket kinunana kaniak, “Ibagbagi dagitoy a karuahe ken dagiti mangguyguyod a kabalio dagiti uppat nga angin a rumrummuar manipud iti langit iti sangoanan ti Apo a mangtengtengngel iti entero a daga.
“They are going out to the four winds of heaven, after presenting themselves to the Lord of all the earth,” the angel explained.
6 Agturong iti amianan a pagilian ti karuahe a guyguyoden dagiti nangisit a kabalio; agturong iti laud a pagilian dagiti puraw a kabalio; ken agturong iti abagatan a pagilian dagiti labang a maris dapo a kabalio.”
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 Rimmuar dagitoy a napipigsa a kabalio ket maganatanda a mapan mangwanawan iti entero a daga, isu a kinuna ti anghel, “Inkayo ket wanawananyo ti entero a daga!” ket napanda iti entero a daga.
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 Kalpasanna, pinukkawannak sana kinuna kaniak, “Kitaem dagiti kabalio nga agturong iti amianan a pagilian; pabaawendanto ti unget ti espirituk maipapan iti amianan a pagilian.”
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 Immay ngarud kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana,
Then the Lord gave me another message:
10 “Mangalaka iti daton manipud kadagiti napagtalaw a kas balud idiay Babilonia—kada Heldai, Tobijas, ken Jedaias—ket ita met laeng nga aldaw, ipanmo daytoy iti balay ni Josias a putot ni Sofonias.
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 Ket alaem ti pirak ken balitok, mangaramidka iti maysa a korona, ket ikabilmo daytoy iti ulo ni Josue a nangato a padi a putot ni Josadac.
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 Makisaritaka kenkuana ket ibagam, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: “Ti nagan daytoy a tao ket ti Sanga! Ket dumakkelto isuna iti ayanna ken ipatakdernanto ti templo ni Yahweh!
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 Isunanto ti mangipatakder iti templo ni Yahweh ken mangitag-ay ti dayag daytoy; ket agtugaw ken agturayto isuna iti tronona. Agbalinto isuna a maysa a padi iti tronona, ket addanto ti kappia iti nagbaetan ti dua nga akem.
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 Addanto maikabil a korona iti templo ni Yahweh tapno padayawan da Heldai, Tobijas, ken Jedaias ken agpaayto a pakalaglagipan iti kinaparabur ti putot ni Sofonias.
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 Kalpasanna, umayto dagiti adda iti adayo ket ipatakderda ti templo ni Yahweh, tapno maammoanyo a ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ti nangibaon kaniak kadakayo; ta mapasamakto daytoy no pudno a dumngegkayo iti timek ni Yahweh a Diosyo!””
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.
