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.
I looked up again, and [in the vision] I saw four chariots coming toward me. [They were coming] between two mountains [that were made] of bronze.
2 Soavala mena ty tamy sarete valoha’ey, naho soavala mainte ty tamy sarete faharoey,
The first chariot [was pulled by] red horses, the second chariot [was pulled by] black horses,
3 naho soavala foty ty tamy sarete fahateloy vaho soavala maremboke maozatse ty tamy sarete fah’ efatsey.
the third chariot [was pulled by] white horses, and the fourth chariot [was pulled by] spotted gray horses. They were all very strong horses.
4 Aa le hoe ty asako tamy anjely nisaontsy amakoy: Ino o raha reo, talèko?
I asked the angel who had been speaking to me, “Sir, what do those chariots mean?”
5 Le hoe ty natoi’ i anjeliy ahy: Tion-dikerañe efatse mionjomb’eo, boak’ amy nijohaña’e aolo’ i Talè’ ty tane-bey toiy.
The angel replied, “They have come from standing in the presence of the Lord who controls/rules the entire earth. They will go across the sky in four directions.
6 Mionjoñe mb’ avaratse añe o an-tsoavala mainteo; manonjohy iareo o fotio; vaho mb’ atimo mb’eo o maroembokeo.
The chariot [pulled by] black horses will go north, the [one pulled by] white horses will go west, the one [pulled by] spotted gray horses will go 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.
When those powerful horses left, their [chariot-drivers] were eager to go throughout the world. [As they were leaving, ] the angel said to them, “Go throughout the world [and see what is happening]!” So that is what they did.
8 Nikoik’ ahy re nanao ty hoe: Hehe te nampanintsiñe ty troko an-tane avaratsey o mb’ an-tane avaratseo.
Then the angel called to me [and said], “Look/Listen, the [drivers of the] chariots that have gone north will do what the Spirit [of Yahweh wants them to do] there.”
9 Niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe:
Then Yahweh gave me [another] message.
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;
He said, “Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah will be bringing some silver and gold from the people who were (exiled in/forced to go to) Babylon. As soon as they arrive, go to the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah.
11 naho andrambeso volafoty naho volamena vaho mitsenea sabaka fanjàka, le aombeo añambone’ Iehosoa mpisorom-bey ana’ Iehozadake;
Take [some of that] silver and gold from them and make a crown. Then put it on the head of Jehozadak’s son Joshua, the Supreme 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;
Tell him that [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say that the man who is called the Branch will come. He will leave the place where he is now, and he will [supervise those who] build my temple.
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 is the one who [will tell those who] will build my temple [what to do]. He will wear royal clothing and he will sit on his throne and rule. There will also be a priest [sitting] next to his throne, and the two of them will work together harmoniously.
14 Ho faniahiañe añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao ho a’ i Keleme, naho i Tobià, naho Iedaià, vaho i Kene ana’ i Tsefanià, i sabakay.
The crown must be [kept] in my temple to remind people of what Heldai, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and Josiah [did for them].
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.
People who are [living] far away will come and [help to] build my temple. When that happens, the people will know that [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, have sent you to them. [That will happen] if they faithfully obey me, Yahweh, your/their God.”
