Zakaria 6
1 Ary natopiko indray ny masoko ka hitako fa, indreo, nisy kalesy efatra nivoaka avy teo anelanelan’ ny tendrombohitra roa; ary tendrombohitra varahina ireo tendrombohitra ireo.
Again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of bronze.
2 Tamin’ ny kalesy voalohany dia nisy soavaly mena; tamin’ ny kalesy faharoa dia soavaly mainty;
In the first chariot were red horses. In the second chariot were black horses.
3 tamin’ ny kalesy fahatelo dia soavaly fotsy; ary tamin’ ny kalesy fahefatra dia soavaly sadamena.
In the third chariot were white horses. In the fourth chariot were dappled horses, all of them powerful.
4 Dia nanontany tamin’ ilay anjely niresaka tamiko aho ka nanao hoe: Inona moa ireo, tompoko?
Then I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?”
5 Ary ilay anjely namaly ka nilaza tamiko hoe: Ireo no rivotra efatry ny lanitra, izay mivoaka avy nitsangana teo anatrehan’ ny Tompon’ ny tany rehetra.
The angel answered me, “These are the four winds of the sky, which go out from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
6 Io misy ny soavaly mainty dia mivoaka mankamin’ ny tany avaratra; ary ny fotsy nivoaka nanaraka azy; ary ny sada nivoaka nankamin’ ny tany atsimo.
The one with the black horses goes out toward the north country; and the white went out after them; and the dappled went out toward the south country.”
7 Ary ny mena dia nivoaka ka nitady handeha hivoivoy eny amin’ ny tany; dia hoy izy: Mandehana ianareo, mivoivoiza eny amin’ ny tany. Ka dia nandeha nivoivoy teny amin’ ny tany izy.
The strong went out, and sought to go that they might walk back and forth through the earth. He said, “Go around and through the earth!” So they walked back and forth through the earth.
8 Dia nitaraina mafy tamiko izy ka niteny tamiko hoe: Indro, ireo izay mivoaka mankamin’ ny tany avaratra dia nampionona ny fanahiko tany amin’ ny tany avaratra.
Then he called to me, and spoke to me, saying, “Behold, those who go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.”
9 Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
10 Mandraisa avy amin’ ny babo, dia amin’ i Helday sy Tobia ary Jedaia, eny, mandehana amin’ izany andro izany ihany ianao, ka midìra ao an-tranon’ i Josia, zanak’ i Zefania, izay novantaniny nony vao tonga avy tany Babylona izy,
“Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah; and come the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, where they have come from Babylon.
11 eny, mandraisa volafotsy sy volamena, ka ataovy satro-boninahitra, dia apetraho eo an-dohan’ i Josoa, zanak’ i Jozadaka, mpisoronabe;
Yes, take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest;
12 dia lazao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Indro Lehilahy atao hoe Rantsana; ary hitsimoka eo am-pitoerany ihany Izy sady hanao ny tempolin’ i Jehovah.
and speak to him, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies says, “Behold, the man whose name is the Branch! He will grow up out of his place; and he will build Yahweh’s temple.
13 Eny, Izy no hanao ny tempolin’ i Jehovah, ary Izy no hitondra voninahitra ka hipetraka sy hanapaka eo amin’ ny seza fiandrianany; ary ho mpisorona eo amin’ ny seza fiandrianany Izy; ary hisy fisainam-pihavanana amin’ izy roroa.
He will build Yahweh’s temple. He will bear the glory, and will sit and rule on his throne. He will be a priest on his throne. The counsel of peace will be between them both.
14 Ary ny satro-boninahitra dia ho an’ i Helema sy Tobia sy Jedaia ary Hena, zanak’ i Zefania, ho fampahatsiarovana ao amin’ ny tempolin’ i Jehovah.
The crowns shall be to Helem, to Tobijah, to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in Yahweh’s temple.
15 Ary izay lavitra dia ho avy ka hanao ao amin’ ny tempolin’ i Jehovah, ka dia ho fantatrareo fa Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no naniraka ahy ho aminareo. Dia ho tonga izany, raha hazoto hihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo ianareo.
Those who are far off shall come and build in Yahweh’s temple; and you shall know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you. This will happen, if you will diligently obey Yahweh your God’s voice.”’”
