< Sakalaia 6 >

1 Pea naʻaku tafoki, ʻo hanga hake hoku mata, pea u sio, pea vakai, naʻe hā ʻae saliote ʻe fā ʻoku haʻu mei he vahaʻa ʻoe ongo moʻunga ʻe ua; pea ko e ongo moʻunga, ko e moʻunga palasa.
And I turn back, and lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, four chariots are coming forth from between two of the mountains, and the mountains [are] mountains of brass.
2 Naʻe ʻi he ʻuluaki saliote ʻae fanga hoosi kulokula; pea ko e fanga hoosi ʻuliʻuli ʻi hono ua ʻoe saliote;
In the first chariot [are] red horses, and in the second chariot brown horses,
3 Pea naʻe ʻi hono tolu ʻoe saliote ʻae fanga hoosi hinehina, pea ko e fanga hoosi pulepule mo kulokula naʻe ʻi hono fā ʻoe saliote.
and in the third chariot white horses, and in the fourth chariot strong grisled horses.
4 Ko ia naʻaku pehē ai ki he ʻāngelo ʻaia naʻa ma talanoa mo au, “ʻE hoku ʻeiki ko e hā ʻena?”
And I answer and say unto the messenger who is speaking with me, 'What [are] these, my lord?'
5 Pea naʻe tali ʻo pehē mai ʻe he ʻāngelo, “Ko e laumālie ia ʻe fā ʻoe ngaahi langi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻalu atu mei heʻenau tutuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻo māmani kotoa pē.”
And the messenger answereth and saith unto me, 'These [are] four spirits of the heavens coming forth from presenting themselves before the Lord of the whole earth.
6 ‌ʻOku ʻalu ʻae fanga hoosi ʻuliʻuli ʻoku ʻi ai ki he ngaahi potu fakatokelau, pea ʻoku muimui ki ai ʻaia ʻoku hinehina; ka ʻe ʻalu ʻae pulepule ki he fonua ki he potu tonga.
The brown horses that [are] therein, are coming forth unto the land of the north; and the white have come forth unto their hinder part; and the grisled have come forth unto the land of the south;
7 Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae kulokula ʻo ʻahiʻahi ia ke feʻaluʻaki fano ʻi māmani: pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻAlu atu koe mo ʻeveʻeva fano ʻi māmani.” Pea ko ia naʻa nau feʻaluʻaki fano ʻi māmani.
and the strong ones have come forth, and they seek to go to walk up and down in the earth;' and he saith, 'Go, walk up and down in the earth;' and they walk up and down in the earth.
8 Hili ia naʻa ne ui kiate au mo ne lea kiate au, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ko kinautolu na kuo ʻalu ki he potu fakatokelau, kuo nau fakafiemālieʻi hoku laumālie ki he fonua ʻi he tokelau.”
And he calleth me, and speaketh unto me, saying, 'See, those coming forth unto the land of the north have caused My Spirit to rest in the land of the north.'
9 Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
10 “Lau mai ha niʻihi mei he kau pōpula, ʻio, mei he faʻahinga ʻo Hilitai mo Topisa, pea mo Sitaia, ʻakinautolu kuo haʻu mei Papilone, pea ke haʻu koe ʻi he ʻaho pe ko ia, pea ke hū atu ki he fale ʻo Siosaia ko e foha ʻo Sefanaia;
to take of the captivity (who came from Babylon) from Heldai, from Tobijah, and from Jedaiah, 'and thou hast come in — thou, in that day, yea, thou hast come into the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah,
11 Pea ke toʻo ha siliva mo ha koula, pea ngaohi ha ngaahi tatā fakatuʻi, pea ʻai ia ki he ʻulu ʻo Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Sosataki, ko e taulaʻeiki lahi;
and thou hast taken silver and gold, and hast made a crown, and hast placed on the head of Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest,
12 Pea lea kiate ia ʻo pehē, ‘ʻOku pehē mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, Vakai, ki he tangata ʻaia ʻoku hingoa ko e VAA; ʻe tupu hake ia ʻi hono potu; pea ko ia ia te ne langa ʻae fale tapu ʻo Sihova:
and hast spoken unto him, saying: Thus spake Jehovah of Hosts, saying: Lo, a man! A Shoot — [is] his name, And from his place he doth shoot up, And he hath built the temple of Jehovah.
13 ‌ʻIo, ko ia ia te ne langa ʻae fale tapu ʻo Sihova; pea ko ia ia ʻe fua ʻa hono nāunau, pea te ne nofo mo pule ʻi hono nofoʻa fakatuʻi, pea ʻe taulaʻeiki ia ʻi hono nofoʻanga fakatuʻi: pea ʻe ʻiate kinaua fakatouʻosi ʻae alea fakamelino.’
Yea, he doth build the temple of Jehovah, And he doth bear away honour, And he hath sat and ruled on His throne, And hath been a priest on His throne, And a counsel of peace is between both.
14 Pea ko e ngaahi tatā fakatuʻi ʻe tuku kia Helemi, pea mo Topisa, mo Sitaia, pea kia Heni, ko e foha ʻo Sefanaia, ko e meʻa fakamanatu ʻi he fale tapu ʻo Sihova.”
And the crown is to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of Jehovah.
15 Pea ʻe haʻu ʻakinautolu ʻoku mei he mamaʻo, ke nau langa ʻae fale tapu ʻo Sihova, pea te mou ʻilo kuo fekau au kiate kimoutolu, ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau. Pea ʻe hoko eni, ʻo kapau te mou tokanga fakamātoato ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova, ko homou ʻOtua.
And the far-off come in, and they have built in the temple of Jehovah, and ye have known that Jehovah of Hosts hath sent me unto you, yea, it hath come to pass, if ye do certainly hearken to the voice of Jehovah your God.'
