Zakkaariyaas 6
1 Ani ammas ol nan milʼadhe; kunoo gaariiwwan afur kanneen gaarran lama jechuunis tulluuwwan naasii gidduu gad baʼan nan arge!
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 Gaariin jalqabaa fardeen didiimoo, lammaffaan gugurraa,
In the first chariot [were] red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
3 sadaffaan adaadii, afuraffaan immoo farda daamaa qaba ture; isaan hundinuu jajjaboo turan.
and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot piebald [and] ash-coloured horses.
4 Anis, “Yaa gooftaa ko, isaan kunneen maali?” jedheen ergamaa Waaqayyoo natti dubbachaa ture sana gaafadhe.
And I answered and said to the angel that talked with me, What are these, my Lord?
5 Ergamaan Waaqayyoo sunis akkana jedhee naaf deebise; “Isaan kunneen hafuurota samii afran fuula Gooftaa lafa hundaa dura iddoo dhaabachaa turanii gad baʼanii dha.
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 Kan fardeen gugurraa qabu gara biyya kaabaa deema; kan fardeen adaadii qabu gara biyya lixa biiftuu deema; kan fardeen daamaa qabu immoo gara biyya kibbaa deemaa.”
[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 Fardeen jajjaboon sun yeroo gad baʼanitti guutummaa lafaa irra asii fi achi deemuu barbaadanii turan. Innis “Guutummaa lafaa irra deemaa!” jedheen. Kanaafuu isaan guutummaa lafaa irra deeman.
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 Ergasii inni na waamee, “Ilaali, warri gara biyya kaabaa deeman sun biyya kaabaatti Hafuura koo boqochiisaniiru” naan jedhe.
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 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe;
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
10 “Boojiʼamtoota Baabilon irraa dhufan jechuunis Heldaayi, Xoobbiyaa fi Yedaaʼiyaa irraa meetii fi warqee fuudhi. Gaafasuma gara mana Yosiyaas ilma Sefaaniyaa dhaqi.
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 Meetii fi warqee sana fuudhiitii gonfoo tolchi; gonfoo sanas mataa Iyyaasuu lubicha ol aanaa ilma Yehoozaadaaq irra kaaʼi.
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 Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha, jedhii itti himi: ‘Kunoo namichi maqaan isaa Damee jedhamu tokko as jira; innis damee baasee iddoo isaatii dagaagee dhaqee mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo ijaara.
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 Namni mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo ijaaru isa; inni ulfina uffatee teessoo isaa irra taaʼee ni bulcha. Inni teessoo isaa irratti luba taʼa. Walii galteen nagaas isaan lamaan gidduu ni jiraata.’
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 Gonfoon sunis yaadannoo Heelem, Xoobbiyaa, Yedaaʼiyaatii fi Heeni ilma Sefaaniyaa tiif mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessa ni kaaʼama.
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 Warri fagoo jiraatan dhufanii ijaarsa mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo ni gargaaru; isinis akka Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu isinitti na erge ni beektu. Yoo isin akka gaarii Waaqayyo Waaqa keessaniif ajajamtan wanni kun ni taʼa.”
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.
