< Zakaria 6 >

1 Nampiandraeko indraike o masokoo le nitalake vaho inge te nimb’eo ty sarete efatse boak’ an-jeba’ ty vohitse roe; haboan-torisìke i vohitse rey.
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 Soavala mena ty tamy sarete valoha’ey, naho soavala mainte ty tamy sarete faharoey,
In the first chariot [are] red horses, and in the second chariot brown horses,
3 naho soavala foty ty tamy sarete fahateloy vaho soavala maremboke maozatse ty tamy sarete fah’ efatsey.
and in the third chariot white horses, and in the fourth chariot strong grisled horses.
4 Aa le hoe ty asako tamy anjely nisaontsy amakoy: Ino o raha reo, talèko?
And I answer and say unto the messenger who is speaking with me, 'What [are] these, my lord?'
5 Le hoe ty natoi’ i anjeliy ahy: Tion-dikerañe efatse mion­jomb’eo, boak’ amy nijohaña’e aolo’ i Talè’ ty tane-bey toiy.
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 Mionjoñe mb’ avaratse añe o an-tsoavala mainteo; manonjohy iareo o fotio; vaho mb’ atimo mb’eo o maroembokeo.
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 Nionjoñe i maozatse rey nipay hijelanjelañe an-tane atoy; le hoe re: Akia, mika­rio­karioha mb’eo mb’eo an-tane atoy. Aa le nihelahela nanitsike ty tane toy iereo.
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 Nikoik’ ahy re nanao ty hoe: Hehe te nampanintsiñe ty troko an-tane avara­tsey o mb’ an-tane avaratseo.
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 Niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe:
And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
10 Angalao amo mirohio, amo boake Kelday naho e Tobià naho e Iedaiào, amo boake Bavele añeo; le amy àndroy avao, miziliha an-kiboho’ Iosià ana’ i Tsefanià;
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 naho andrambeso volafoty naho volamena vaho mitsenea sabaka fanjàka, le aombeo añambone’ Iehosoa mpisorom-bey ana’ Iehozadake;
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 le isaontsio ty hoe: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà’ i Màroy: Ingo t’indaty atao ty hoe Toramionjo: han­drevake boak’ an-toe’ey; ie ty hamboatse ty anjomba’ Iehovà;
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 eka! ie ty handranjy ty kivoho’ Iehovà; naho ie ty hivave ty enge’e, naho hiambesatse vaho hifehe am-piambesa’e eo, ho mpisoroñe amy fiambesa’ey; naho añivo’ i roroey ty fanoroan-kanintsiñe.
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 Ho faniahiañe añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao ho a’ i Keleme, naho i Tobià, naho Iedaià, vaho i Kene ana’ i Tsefanià, i sabakay.
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 Homb’ eo ka o tsietoitane añeo hamboatse añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao, vaho ho fohi’ areo te nirahe’ Iehovà’ i Màroy ama’ areo raho. Ho tondroke zay naho orihe’ areo ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’areo.
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.'
