< Zacarias 6 >

1 Pagkatapos, lumingon ako at tumingala, nakakita ako ng apat na karwahe na palabas sa pagitan ng dalawang bundok at gawa sa tanso ang dalawang bundok.
And I turned, and I lifted up my eyes and I saw. And behold, four four-horse chariots went out from the middle of two mountains. And the mountains were mountains of brass.
2 Ang unang karwahe ay may mga pulang kabayo, ang pangalawang karwahe ay may mga itim na kabayo,
In the first chariot were red horses, and in the second chariot were black horses,
3 ang pangatlong karwahe ay may mga puting kabayo at ang pang-apat na karwahe ay may mga batik na kulay abo na mga kabayo.
and in the third chariot were white horses, and in the fourth chariot were speckled horses, and they were strong.
4 Kaya sumagot ako at sinabi sa anghel na kumausap sa akin, “Ano ang mga ito, aking panginoon?”
And I responded and said to the angel who was speaking with me, “What are these, my lord?”
5 Sumagot ang anghel at sinabi sa akin, “Ito ang apat na hangin ng langit na lumabas mula sa lugar kung saan sila nakatayo sa harapan ng Panginoon ng buong daigdig.
And the angel answered and said to me, “These are the four winds of heaven, which go forth to stand in the presence of the Sovereign of all the earth.”
6 Ang karwahe na may mga itim na kabayo ay papunta sa hilagang bansa, ang karwahe na may mga puting kabayo ay papunta sa kanlurang bansa at ang karwahe na may mga batik na kulay abo na mga kabayo ay papunta sa bansang timog.”
The one with the black horses was departing into the land of the North, and the white went forth after them, and the speckled went forth towards the land of the South.
7 Lumabas ang mga malalakas na kabayong ito at hinangad na pumunta at maglibot sa buong daigdig, kaya sinabi ng anghel, “Humayo kayo at maglibot sa buong daigdig!” at umalis sila patungo sa buong daigdig.
Yet those who were the most strong, went out, and sought to go and to roam quickly through all the earth. And he said, “Go, walk throughout the earth.” And they walked throughout the earth.
8 Pagkatapos, tinawag niya ako, nagsalita at sinabi sa akin, “Tingnan mo ang mga papunta sa bansang hilaga, pahupain nila ang aking espiritu patungkol sa bansang hilaga.
And he called me and spoke with me, saying, “Behold, those who go forth to the land of the North, have quieted my spirit in the land of the North.”
9 Kaya dumating sa akin ang salita ni Yahweh at sinabi,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
10 “Kumuha ka ng isang handog mula sa mga ipinatapon, mula kina Heldai, Tobias at Jedaias. Pumunta ka rin sa araw na ito at dalhin mo ito sa bahay ni Josias na anak ni Zefanias na dumating mula sa Babilonia.
From those of the captivity, take from Heldai, and from Tobijah, and from Jedaiah. You will approach in that day, and you will go into the house of Josiah, the son of Zephaniah, who came from Babylon.
11 At kunin mo ang pilak at ginto, gumawa ka ng isang korona at ilagay mo ito sa ulo ng pinakapunong pari na si Josue na anak ni Jehozadak.
And you will take gold and silver; and you will make crowns, and you will set them on the head of Jesus the son of Jehozadak, the high priest.
12 Kausapin mo siya at sabihin, 'Sinasabi ito ni Yahweh ng mga hukbo: “Ang lalaking ito, Sanga ang kaniyang pangalan! At lalago siya kung nasaan siya at itatayo niya ang templo ni Yahweh!
And you will speak to him, saying: Thus says the Lord of hosts, saying: Behold, a man; the Rising is his name. And under him, he will rise up, and he will build a temple to the Lord.
13 Siya ang magtatayo ng templo ni Yahweh at magtataglay ng karangyaan nito, uupo siya at maghahari sa kaniyang trono. Siya ang magiging pari sa kaniyang trono at ang pang-unawa sa kapayapaan ang iiral sa pagitan ng dalawa.
And he will raise a temple to the Lord. And he will carry the glory, and he will sit and rule upon his throne. And he will be a priest upon his throne, and a counsel of peace will be between the two of them.
14 Ilalagay ang isang korona sa templo ni Yahweh upang parangalan sina Heldai, Tobias at Jedaias at bilang pag-alaala sa kabutihang-loob ng anak ni Zefanias.
And the crowns will be to Heldai, and Tobijah, and Jedaiah, as well as to Hem, the son of Zephaniah, as a memorial in the temple of the Lord.
15 At darating ang mga nasa malayo at itatayo ang templo ni Yahweh, kaya malalaman ninyo na ipinadala ako sa inyo ni Yahweh ng mga hukbo, sapagkat mangyayari ito kung tunay kayong nakinig sa tinig ni Yahweh na inyong Diyos!”'”
And those who are far away, will approach, and will build in the temple of the Lord. And you will know that the Lord of hosts sent me to you. Yet this shall be only if, when hearing, you will have heeded the voice of the Lord your God.
