Zekaria 6
1 Kisha nikageuka na kuinua macho na nikaona vibandawazi vinne vya farasi vikija kutoka kati ya milima miwili; na milima hiyo ilikuwa imetengenezwa kwa 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 Kibandawazi cha kwanza kilikuwa na farasi wekundu, kibandawazi cha pili kilikuwa na farasi weusi,
[were] with the Chariot first horses red and [were] with the chariot second horses black.
3 kibandawazi cha tatu kilikuwa na farasi weupe, na kibandawazi cha nne kilikuwa na farasi wa kijivu.
And [were] with the chariot third horses white and [were] with the chariot fourth horses dappled strong.
4 Hivyo nikamwuliza malaika aliyesema nami, “Ni vitu gani hivi bwana wangu?”
And I answered and I said to the angel who was speaking with me what? [are] these O lord my.
5 Malaika akajibu na kuniambia, “Hizi ni pepo nne za mbinguni zisimamazo mbele ya Bwana wa dunia yote.
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 Lenye farasi weusi linakwenda nchi ya kaskazini; farasi weupe wanakwenda nchi ya magharibi; na farasi wa kijivu wanakwenda nchi ya 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 Farasi hawa wenye nguvu walitoka na wanatafuta kwenda na kuzunguka juu ya nchi, hivyo malaika akasema, “Nendeni na mzunguke juu ya nchi!” nao wakaenda juu ya dunia yote.
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 na kuniambia, “Tazama wale wanaokwenda nchi ya kaskazini, wataituliza roho yangu juu nchi hiyo.”
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 Hivyo neno la Yahwe likanijia kusema,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
10 “Chukua sadaka kutoka kwa waliohamishwa - kutoka kwa Helidai, Tobiya na Yedaya - leo hii uende na kuipeleka katika nyumba ya Yosia mwana wa Zefania, aliyetoka Babeli.
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 Kisha uchukue fedha na dhahabu, ufanye taji na uivike katika kichwa cha Yoshua mwana wa Yehosadaki kuhani mkuu.
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 Ongea naye na useme, Yahwe wa majeshi asema hivi: Mtu huyu, jina lake Tawi! Naye atakuwa alipo na kisha atajenga hekalu la Yahwe!
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 Ndiye atakayejenga hekalu la Yahwe naye atauinua utukufu wake; kisha ataketi na kutawala katika kiti chake cha enzi. Atakuwa kuhani juu ya kiti cha enzi na ufahamu wa amani utakuwa kati ya vyote viwili.
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 itawekwa hekaluni mwa Yahwe kwa heshima ya Heldai, Tobiya na Yedaya na kama kumbukumbu ya ukarimu wa mwana wa Zefania.
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 Ndipo waliombali watakapokuja na kulijenga hekalu la Yahwe, hivyo mtajua kuwa Yahwe wa majeshi amenituma kwenu; kwani ikiwa kweli mnaisikiliza sauti ya Yahwe Mungu wenu hili litatendeka!”
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.
