< Zakaria 6 >

1 Nampiandraeko indraike o masokoo le nitalake vaho inge te nimb’eo ty sarete efatse boak’ an-jeba’ ty vohitse roe; haboan-torisìke i vohitse rey.
And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, four chariots coming out from between two mountains; and the mountains were brazen mountains.
2 Soavala mena ty tamy sarete valoha’ey, naho soavala mainte ty tamy sarete faharoey,
In the first chariot [were] red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
3 naho soavala foty ty tamy sarete fahateloy vaho soavala maremboke maozatse ty tamy sarete fah’ efatsey.
and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot piebald [and] ash-coloured horses.
4 Aa le hoe ty asako tamy anjely nisaontsy amakoy: Ino o raha reo, talèko?
And I answered and said to the angel that talked with me, What are these, my Lord?
5 Le hoe ty natoi’ i anjeliy ahy: Tion-dikerañe efatse mion­jomb’eo, boak’ amy nijohaña’e aolo’ i Talè’ ty tane-bey toiy.
And the angel that talked with me answered and said, These are the four winds of heaven, [and] they are going forth to stand before the Lord of all the earth.
6 Mionjoñe mb’ avaratse añe o an-tsoavala mainteo; manonjohy iareo o fotio; vaho mb’ atimo mb’eo o maroembokeo.
[As for the chariot] in which were the black horses, they went out to the land of the north; and the white went out after them; and the piebald went out to the land of the south.
7 Nionjoñe i maozatse rey nipay hijelanjelañe an-tane atoy; le hoe re: Akia, mika­rio­karioha mb’eo mb’eo an-tane atoy. Aa le nihelahela nanitsike ty tane toy iereo.
And the ash-coloured went out, and looked to go and compass the earth: and he said, Go, and compass the earth. And they compassed the earth.
8 Nikoik’ ahy re nanao ty hoe: Hehe te nampanintsiñe ty troko an-tane avara­tsey o mb’ an-tane avaratseo.
And he cried out and spoke to me, saying, Behold, these go out to the land of the north, and they have quieted mine anger in the land of the north.
9 Niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
10 Angalao amo mirohio, amo boake Kelday naho e Tobià naho e Iedaiào, amo boake Bavele añeo; le amy àndroy avao, miziliha an-kiboho’ Iosià ana’ i Tsefanià;
Take the things of the captivity from the chief men, and from the useful men of it, and from them that have understood it; and you shall enter in that day into the house of Josias the son of Sophonias that came out of Babylon.
11 naho andrambeso volafoty naho volamena vaho mitsenea sabaka fanjàka, le aombeo añambone’ Iehosoa mpisorom-bey ana’ Iehozadake;
And you shall take silver and gold, and make crowns, and you shall put [them] upon the head of Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest;
12 le isaontsio ty hoe: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà’ i Màroy: Ingo t’indaty atao ty hoe Toramionjo: han­drevake boak’ an-toe’ey; ie ty hamboatse ty anjomba’ Iehovà;
and you shall say to him, Thus says the Lord Almighty; Behold the man whose name is The Branch; and he shall spring up from his stem, and build the house of the Lord.
13 eka! ie ty handranjy ty kivoho’ Iehovà; naho ie ty hivave ty enge’e, naho hiambesatse vaho hifehe am-piambesa’e eo, ho mpisoroñe amy fiambesa’ey; naho añivo’ i roroey ty fanoroan-kanintsiñe.
And he shall receive power, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and there shall be a priest on his right hand, and a peaceful counsel shall be between [them] both.
14 Ho faniahiañe añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao ho a’ i Keleme, naho i Tobià, naho Iedaià, vaho i Kene ana’ i Tsefanià, i sabakay.
And the crown shall be to them that wait patiently, and to the useful men of the captivity, and to them that have known it, and for the favour of the son of Sophonias, and for a psalm in the house of the Lord.
15 Homb’ eo ka o tsietoitane añeo hamboatse añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao, vaho ho fohi’ areo te nirahe’ Iehovà’ i Màroy ama’ areo iraho. Ho tondroke izay naho orihe’ areo ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’areo.
And they [that are] far from them shall come and build in the house of the Lord, and you shall know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you: and [this] shall come to pass, if you will diligently listen to the voice of the Lord your God.
