Zekkaliya 6
1 Ne nyongera okuyimusa amaaso gange, era laba, amagaali g’embalaasi ana nga gava wakati w’ensozi bbiri, n’ensozi ezo zaali nsozi za bikomo.
And I lifted up mine eyes again, and saw, and behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.
2 Eggaali esooka ng’esikibwa embalaasi za lukunyu, eyookubiri nga nzirugavu.
In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
3 Eggaali eyokusatu ng’esikibwa mbalaasi njeru, eyokuna yo ng’esikibwa za kikuusikuusi atabikiddwamu n’obwoya obweru. Embalaasi ezo zonna zaali z’amaanyi.
and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled, strong horses.
4 Ne ndyoka mbuuza malayika eyali ayogera nange nti, “Bino bitegeeza ki mukama wange?”
And I spoke and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord?
5 Malayika n’anziramu nti, “Ezo z’empewo ennya ez’omu ggulu; ziva kweyanjula mu maaso ga Mukama ow’ensi yonna.
And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
6 Ekigaali eky’embalaasi enzirugavu kigenda mu nsi ey’omu bukiikakkono, ate ekyo eky’enjeru mu bugwanjuba, ekyo ekyali kisikibwa embalaasi ez’obwoya obweru, kiraga mu nsi ey’omu bukiikaddyo.”
That in which are the black horses goeth forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth towards the south country;
7 Awo embalaasi ezo ez’amaanyi nga zivudde mu maaso ga Mukama, ne zifuba okutambulatambula mu nsi yonna; n’azigamba nti, “Mugende, mutambuletambule mu nsi yonna.” Awo ne zitambulatambula mu nsi yonna.
and the strong go forth, and seek to go that they may walk to and fro through the earth. And he said, Go, walk to and fro through the earth. And they walked to and fro through the earth.
8 Awo n’ampita n’aŋŋamba nti, “Laba, ezo eziraga mu nsi ey’obukiikakkono ziwummuzza Omwoyo wange mu nsi ey’omu bukiikakkono.”
And he cried unto me, and spoke unto me, saying, See, these that go forth towards the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.
9 Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijja gye ndi nga kigamba nti,
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
10 “Genda eri bano: Kerudayi, ne Tobiya, ne Yedaya, abaakomawo okuva mu buwaŋŋanguse mu Babulooni, olunaku olwo lwennyini olage mu nnyumba ya Yosiya, mutabani wa Zeffaniya, mwe bali.
Take [gifts] of them of the captivity, of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, and come thou the same day, and enter into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, whither they are come from Babylon;
11 Ddira effeeza ne zaabu okole engule ogitikkire ku mutwe gwa Yoswa, kabona asinga obukulu, omwana wa Yekozadaaki.
yea, take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set [them] upon the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest;
12 Mugambe nti, bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye nti, ‘Laba omuntu erinnya lye ye Ttabi; alirokera mu kifo kye, azimbe yeekaalu ya Mukama.
and speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, saying, Behold a man whose name is [the] Branch; and he shall grow up from his own place, and he shall build the temple of Jehovah:
13 Oyo y’alizimba yeekaalu ya Mukama, era alijjula ekitiibwa. Alituula ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka, n’afuga. Era y’aliba Kabona ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka; walibaawo okutegeeragana okw’emirembe wakati wa Ttabi ne Yoswa.’
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 Era n’engule ya kubeera mu yeekaalu ya Mukama ng’ekijjukizo eri Keremu, ne Tobiya ne Keeni omwana wa Zeffaniya.
And the crowns shall be for Helem, and for Tobijah, and for Jedaiah, and for Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of Jehovah.
15 Era n’abo abali ewala balijja okuyamba okuzimba yeekaalu ya Mukama, era mulimanya nga Mukama ow’Eggye yantuma gye muli. Bino tebirirema kubaawo singa munaagondera eddoboozi lya Mukama Katonda wammwe n’obumalirivu.”
And they that are far off shall come and build at the temple of Jehovah: and ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto you. And [this] shall come to pass, if ye will diligently hearken to the voice of Jehovah your God.
