Zekaria 6
1 Nikatazama juu tena: nikaona mbele yangu magari manne ya vita yakija kutoka kati ya milima miwili, milima ya shaba!
And I returned and I lifted up eyes my and I saw and there! four chariots [were] coming forth from between [the] two the mountains and the mountains [were] mountains of bronze.
2 Gari la kwanza lilivutwa na farasi wekundu, la pili lilivutwa na farasi weusi,
[were] with the Chariot first horses red and [were] with the chariot second horses black.
3 la tatu lilivutwa na farasi weupe na gari la nne lilivutwa na farasi wa madoadoa ya kijivu, wote wenye nguvu.
And [were] with the chariot third horses white and [were] with the chariot fourth horses dappled strong.
4 Nikamuuliza malaika aliyekuwa akizungumza nami, “Hawa ni nani bwana wangu?”
And I answered and I said to the angel who was speaking with me what? [are] these O lord my.
5 Malaika akanijibu, “Hizi ni roho nne za mbinguni zisimamazo mbele ya uwepo wa Bwana wa dunia yote, zinatoka kwenda kufanya kazi yake.
And he answered the angel and he said to me these [are] [the] four [the] winds of the heavens going forth from when presented themselves on [the] lord of all the earth.
6 Gari linalovutwa na farasi weusi linaelekea katika nchi ya kaskazini, la farasi weupe linaelekea magharibi na la farasi wa madoadoa ya kijivu linaelekea kusini.”
Which with it the horses black [are] going out to [the] land of [the] north and the white [horses] they have gone out to after them and the dappled [horses] they have gone out to [the] land of the south.
7 Wakati hao farasi wenye nguvu walipokuwa wakitoka, walikuwa wakijitahidi kwenda duniani kote. Akasema, “Nenda duniani kote!” Kwa hiyo wakaenda duniani kote.
And the strong [horses] they have gone out and they have sought to go to go about on the earth and he said go go about on the earth and they went about on the earth.
8 Kisha akaniita, “Tazama, wale wanaokwenda kuelekea nchi ya kaskazini wamepumzisha Roho yangu katika nchi ya kaskazini.”
And he called out to with me and he spoke to me saying see those [which] are going out to [the] land of [the] north they have caused to rest spirit my in [the] land of [the] north.
9 Neno la Bwana likanijia kusema:
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
10 “Chukua fedha na dhahabu kutoka kwa watu waliohamishwa, yaani Heldai, Tobia na Yedaya ambao wamefika kutoka Babeli. Siku iyo hiyo nenda nyumbani kwa Yosia mwana wa Sefania.
Take from with the exile[s] from Heldai and from with Tobiah and from with Jedaiah and you will go you on the day that and you will go [the] house Josiah [the] son of Zephaniah who they have come from Babylon.
11 Chukua fedha na dhahabu utengeneze taji, nawe uiweke kichwani mwa kuhani mkuu Yoshua, mwana wa Yehosadaki.
And you will take silver and gold and you will make a crown and you will put [it] on [the] head of Joshua [the] son of Jehozadak the priest great.
12 Umwambie, hili ndilo asemalo Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote: ‘Huyu ndiye mtu ambaye jina lake ni Tawi, naye atachipua kutoka mahali pake na kujenga Hekalu la Bwana.
And you will say to him saying thus he says Yahweh of hosts saying there! a man [is] Branch name his and from under him he will sprout and he will build [the] temple of Yahweh.
13 Ni yeye atakayejenga Hekalu la Bwana, naye atavikwa utukufu na ataketi kumiliki katika kiti cha enzi naye atakuwa kuhani katika kiti chake cha enzi. Hapo patakuwa amani kati ya hao wawili.’
And he he will build [the] temple of Yahweh and he he will bear majesty and he will sit and he will rule on throne his and he will be a priest on throne his and a counsel of peace it will be between [the] two of them.
14 Taji itatolewa kwa Heldai, Tobia, Yedaya na Heni mwana wa Sefania kama kumbukumbu ndani ya Hekalu la Bwana.
And the crown it will be to Helem and to Tobiah and to Jedaiah and to Hen [the] son of Zephaniah to a memorial in [the] temple of Yahweh.
15 Wale walio mbali sana watakuja na kusaidia kulijenga Hekalu la Bwana, nanyi mtajua ya kwamba Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote amenituma kwenu. Hili litatokea ikiwa mtamtii Bwana Mungu wenu kwa bidii.”
And distant [ones] - they will come and they will build [the] temple of Yahweh and you will know that Yahweh of hosts he has sent me to you and it will be certainly [if] you will listen! to [the] voice of Yahweh God your.
