1 अनि मैले फर्केर आफ्नो नजर उठाएँ र दुइओटा पर्वतका बिचबाट चारओटा रथ बाहिर आउँदै गरेको देखें; र ती पर्वतहरू काँसाका थिए ।
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 पहिलो रथमा रातो रङ्गका घोडाहरू, दोस्रोमा कालो रङ्गका घोडाहरू,
The first chariot [was pulled by] red horses, the second chariot [was pulled by] black horses,
3 तेस्रो रथमा सेतो रङ्गका घोडाहरू, र चौथो रथमा पाटे खरानी रङ्गका घोडाहरू थिए ।
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 यसैकारण मसँग बोलिरहेका स्वर्गदूतलाई मैले जवाफ दिएँ, “यी के हुन्, मेरा मालिक?”
I asked the angel who had been speaking to me, “Sir, what do those chariots mean?”
5 ती स्वर्गदूतले मलाई जवाफमा भने, “यी आकाशका चारओटा बतास हुन् र ती सारा पृथ्वीका परमप्रभुको अगि खडाभएर त्यहाँबाट बाहिर निस्कनेछन् ।
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 कालो रङ्गका घोडाहरू भएको रथचाहिँ उत्तरको देशमा जानेछ, सेतो रङ्गका घोडाहरू भएको रथचाहिँ पश्‍चिमको देशमा, र पाटे खरानी रङ्गका घोडाहरू भएको रथ चाहिँ दक्षिणको देशमा जानेछ ।”
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 यी बलिया घोडाहरू बाहिर निस्के र पृथ्वीमाथि परिवहन गर्न थाले, यसैले स्वर्गदूतले भने, “जाओ र पृथ्वीमाथि घुम!” र तिनीहरू सबै पृथ्वीतिर गए ।
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 त्यसपछि तिनले मलाई बोलाएर भने, “उत्तरको देशमा गइरहेकालाई हेर, तिनीहरूले त्यहाँ मेरो आत्मालाई प्रसन्‍न बनाएका छन् ।”
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 यसैकारण परमप्रभुको यस्तो वचन मकहाँ आयो,
Then Yahweh gave me [another] message.
10 “निर्वासनमा गएकाहरू हेल्दै, तोबियाह र यदायाहबाट एउटा भेटी लिएर सोही दिन बेबिलोनबाट आएका सपन्याहको छोरो योशियाहको घरमा लैजा ।
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 अनि चाँदी र सुन लिएर एउटा मुकुट बना, र प्रधान पुजारी यहोसादाकको छोरो यहोशूको शिरमा लगाइदे ।
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 त्यसलाई यस्तो भन्‍नू, ‘सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्‍नुहुन्छ: यो मानिसको नाउँ हाँगा हो! यो त्यसको आफ्नै ठाउँमा बढ्नेछ र त्यसले परमप्रभुको मन्दिर बनाउनेछ!
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 त्यो त्यही हो जसले परमप्रभुको मन्दिर बनाउनेछ, र त्यो राजकीय वैभवले पहिराइनेछ, त्यो आफ्नो सिंहासनमा विराजमान भएर शासन गर्नेछ । त्यो आफ्नो सिंहासनमा एउटा पुजारी हुनेछ, र दुईको बिचमा मिलाप गराउनेछ ।
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 मुटुकचाहिँ हेल्दै, तोबियाह, यदायाह, र सपन्याहको छोरो हेनलाई परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा सम्झनाको निम्ति दिइनेछ ।
The crown must be [kept] in my temple to remind people of what Heldai, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and Josiah [did for them].
15 टाढा-टाढा भएकाहरू आएर परमप्रभुको मन्दिर बनाउनेछन्, अनि सेनाहरूहरूका परमप्रभुले मलाई पठाउनुभएको हो भन्‍ने कुरा तिमीहरूलाई थाहा हुनेछ । किनकि तिमीहरूले साँचो रूपमा परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्‍वरको आवाज सुन्यौ भने, यो हुनेछ ।’”
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.”
