< 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 lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.
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, spotted-red horses.
4 Aa le hoe ty asako tamy anjely nisaontsy amakoy: Ino o raha reo, talèko?
Then I spake, 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 answered and said to me, These are the four Winds of heaven, which go forth from standing 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.
The black horses, which are thereto, go forth into the north country, and the white go forth after them; and the spotted go forth into the south country.
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 red ones went forth, and sought to go, even to walk to and fro through the earth. And he said, Go, walk ye to and fro through the earth! So they walked to and fro through the earth.
8 Nikoik’ ahy re nanao ty hoe: Hehe te nampanintsiñe ty troko an-tane avara­tsey o mb’ an-tane avaratseo.
Then he cried to me, and spake to me, saying, Behold, these that go forth toward the land of the North shall execute my wrath against the land of the North.
9 Niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe:
And the word of Jehovah 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 from those of the captivity, from Heldai, from Tobijah, and from Jedaiah, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah, the son of Zephaniah, whither they are come from Babylon;
11 naho andrambeso volafoty naho volamena vaho mitsenea sabaka fanjàka, le aombeo añambone’ Iehosoa mpisorom-bey ana’ Iehozadake;
take from them silver and gold, and make a crown, and set it upon the head of Joshua, the son of Josedech, 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 speak to him, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: — Behold a man whose name is the Branch, He shall spring up from his place, And he shall build the temple of Jehovah.
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.
He shall build the temple of Jehovah, And he shall bear the majesty, And sit and rule upon his throne, And be a priest upon his throne, And the counsel of peace 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 Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen, the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of Jehovah.
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 off shall come and build in the temple of Jehovah; and ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me to you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of Jehovah, your God.
