Zechariah 6
1 Mo sì yípadà, mo sì gbé ojú mi sókè, mo sì wò, sì kíyèsi i, kẹ̀kẹ́ mẹ́rin jáde wá láti àárín òkè ńlá méjì, àwọn òkè ńlá náà sì jẹ́ òkè ńlá idẹ.
And I turn back, and lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, four chariots are coming forth from between two of the mountains, and the mountains [are] mountains of bronze.
2 Àwọn ẹṣin pupa wà ní kẹ̀kẹ́ èkínní; àti àwọn ẹṣin dúdú ní kẹ̀kẹ́ èkejì.
In the first chariot [are] red horses, and in the second chariot brown horses,
3 Àti àwọn ẹṣin funfun ní kẹ̀kẹ́ ẹ̀kẹta; àti àwọn adíkálà àti alágbára ẹṣin ní kẹ̀kẹ́ ẹ̀kẹrin.
and in the third chariot white horses, and in the fourth chariot strong spotted horses.
4 Mo sì dáhùn, mo sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ angẹli tí ń bá mi sọ̀rọ̀ pé, “Kí ni ìwọ̀nyí, olúwa mi.”
And I answer and say to the messenger who is speaking with me, “What [are] these, my lord?”
5 Angẹli náà si dáhùn ó sì wí fún mi pé, “Wọ̀nyí ni àwọn ẹ̀mí mẹ́rin ti ọ̀run, tí wọn ń lọ kúrò lẹ́yìn tí wọ́n ti fi ara wọn hàn níwájú Olúwa gbogbo ayé.
And the messenger answers and says to me, “These [are] four spirits of the heavens coming forth from presenting themselves before the Lord of the whole earth.
6 Àwọn ẹṣin dúdú tí ó wà nínú rẹ̀ jáde lọ sí ilẹ̀ àríwá; àwọn funfun sì jáde lọ si ìwọ̀-oòrùn; àwọn adíkálà sì jáde lọ sí ìhà ilẹ̀ gúúsù.”
The brown horses that [are] therein, are coming forth to the land of the north; and the white have come forth to their back part; and the spotted have come forth to the land of the south;
7 Àwọn alágbára ẹṣin sì jáde lọ, wọ́n sì ń wá ọ̀nà àti lọ kí wọn bá a lè rìn síyìn-ín sọ́hùn-ún ni ayé; ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ lọ, ẹ lọ rìn síyìn-ín sọ́hùn-ún ní ayé!” Wọ́n sì rín síyìn-ín sọ́hùn-ún ní ayé.
and the strong ones have come forth, and they seek to go to walk up and down in the earth”; and he says, “Go, walk up and down in the earth”; and they walk up and down in the earth.
8 Nígbà náà ni ohùn kan sì ké sí mi, ó sì bá mi sọ̀rọ̀ wí pé, “Wò ó, àwọn wọ̀nyí tí ó lọ síhà ilẹ̀ àríwá ti mú ẹ̀mí mi parọ́rọ́ ni ilẹ̀ àríwá.”
And he calls me, and speaks to me, saying, “See, those coming forth to the land of the north have caused My Spirit to rest in the land of the north.”
9 Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tọ̀ mí wá, wí pé:
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
10 “Mú nínú ìgbèkùn, nínú àwọn Heldai, tí Tobiah, àti ti Jedaiah, tí ó ti Babeli dé, kí ìwọ sì wá ní ọjọ́ kan náà, kí o sì wọ ilé Josiah ọmọ Sefaniah lọ.
“Take of the captivity (who came from Babylon) from Heldai, from Tobijah, and from Jedaiah, and you have come in—you, in that day, indeed, you have come into the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah,
11 Kí o sì mú fàdákà àti wúrà, kí o sì fi ṣe adé púpọ̀, sì gbé wọn ka orí Joṣua ọmọ Josadaki, olórí àlùfáà.
and you have taken silver and gold, and have made a crown, and have placed [it] on the head of Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest,
12 Sì sọ fún un pé, ‘Báyìí ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun sọ wí pé, wo ọkùnrin náà ti orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Ẹ̀ka; yóò sì yọ ẹ̀ka láti abẹ́ rẹ̀ wá, yóò si kọ́ tẹmpili Olúwa wa.
and have spoken to him, saying, Thus spoke YHWH of Hosts, saying, Behold, the Man! A Shoot—[is] His Name, And from His place He shoots up, And He has built the temple of YHWH.
13 Òun ni yóò sì kọ́ tẹmpili Olúwa òun ni yóò sì wọ̀ ní ògo, yóò sì jókòó, yóò sì jẹ ọba lórí ìtẹ́ rẹ̀; òun ó sì jẹ́ àlùfáà lórí ìtẹ́ rẹ̀; ìmọ̀ àlàáfíà yóò sì wá láàrín àwọn méjèèjì.’
Indeed, He builds the temple of YHWH, And He carries away splendor, And He has sat and ruled on His throne, And has been a priest on His throne, And a counsel of peace is between both.
14 Adé wọ̀nyí yóò sì wà fún Helemu àti fún Tobiah, àti fún Jedaiah, àti fún Heni ọmọ Sefaniah fún ìrántí ni tẹmpili Olúwa.
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 YHWH.
15 Àwọn tí ó jìnnà réré yóò wá láti kọ́ tẹmpili Olúwa, ẹ̀yin yóò sì mọ̀ pé, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ti rán mi sí yín. Yóò sì rí bẹ́ẹ̀ bí ẹ̀yin yóò bá gbà ohùn Olúwa, Ọlọ́run yín gbọ́ nítòótọ́.”
And the far-off come in, and they have built in the temple of YHWH, and you have known that YHWH of Hosts has sent me to you, indeed, it has come to pass, if you certainly listen to the voice of your God YHWH.”
