< Zechariah 6 >

1 And I turned, and lifted up my eyes, and saw: and behold four chariots came out from the midst of two mountains: and the mountains were mountains of brass.
Ne nyongera okuyimusa amaaso gange, era laba, amagaali g’embalaasi ana nga gava wakati w’ensozi bbiri, n’ensozi ezo zaali nsozi za bikomo.
2 In the first chariot were red horses, and in the second chariot black horses.
Eggaali esooka ng’esikibwa embalaasi za lukunyu, eyookubiri nga nzirugavu.
3 And in the third chariot white horses, and in the fourth chariot grisled horses, and strong ones.
Eggaali eyokusatu ng’esikibwa mbalaasi njeru, eyokuna yo ng’esikibwa za kikuusikuusi atabikiddwamu n’obwoya obweru. Embalaasi ezo zonna zaali z’amaanyi.
4 And I answered, and said to the angel that spoke in me: What are these, my lord?
Ne ndyoka mbuuza malayika eyali ayogera nange nti, “Bino bitegeeza ki mukama wange?”
5 And the angel answered, and said to me: These are the four winds of the heaven, which go forth to stand before the Lord of all the earth.
Malayika n’anziramu nti, “Ezo z’empewo ennya ez’omu ggulu; ziva kweyanjula mu maaso ga Mukama ow’ensi yonna.
6 That in which were the black horses went forth into the land of the north, and the white went forth after them: and the grisled went forth to the land of the south.
Ekigaali eky’embalaasi enzirugavu kigenda mu nsi ey’omu bukiikakkono, ate ekyo eky’enjeru mu bugwanjuba, ekyo ekyali kisikibwa embalaasi ez’obwoya obweru, kiraga mu nsi ey’omu bukiikaddyo.”
7 And they that were most strong, went out, and sought to go, and to run to and fro through all the earth. And he said: Go, walk throughout the earth: and they walked throughout the earth.
Awo embalaasi ezo ez’amaanyi nga zivudde mu maaso ga Mukama, ne zifuba okutambulatambula mu nsi yonna; n’azigamba nti, “Mugende, mutambuletambule mu nsi yonna.” Awo ne zitambulatambula mu nsi yonna.
8 And he called me, and spoke to me, saying: Behold they that go forth into the land of the north, have quieted my spirit in the land of the north.
Awo n’ampita n’aŋŋamba nti, “Laba, ezo eziraga mu nsi ey’obukiikakkono ziwummuzza Omwoyo wange mu nsi ey’omu bukiikakkono.”
9 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijja gye ndi nga kigamba nti,
10 Take of them of the captivity, of Holdai, and of Tobias, and of Idaias; thou shalt come in that day, and shalt go into the house of Josias, the son of Sophonias, who came out of Babylon.
“Genda eri bano: Kerudayi, ne Tobiya, ne Yedaya, abaakomawo okuva mu buwaŋŋanguse mu Babulooni, olunaku olwo lwennyini olage mu nnyumba ya Yosiya, mutabani wa Zeffaniya, mwe bali.
11 And thou shalt take gold and silver: and shalt make crowns, and thou shalt set them on the head of Jesus the son of Josedec, the high priest.
Ddira effeeza ne zaabu okole engule ogitikkire ku mutwe gwa Yoswa, kabona asinga obukulu, omwana wa Yekozadaaki.
12 And thou shalt speak to him, saying: Thus saith the Lord of hosts, saying: BEHOLD A MAN, THE ORIENT IS HIS NAME: and under him shall he spring up, and shall build a temple to the Lord.
Mugambe nti, bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye nti, ‘Laba omuntu erinnya lye ye Ttabi; alirokera mu kifo kye, azimbe yeekaalu ya Mukama.
13 Yea, he shall build a temple to the Lord: and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit, and rule upon his throne: and he shall be a priest upon his throne, and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
Oyo y’alizimba yeekaalu ya Mukama, era alijjula ekitiibwa. Alituula ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka, n’afuga. Era y’aliba Kabona ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka; walibaawo okutegeeragana okw’emirembe wakati wa Ttabi ne Yoswa.’
14 And the crowns shall be to Helem, and Tobias, and Idaias, and to Hem, the son of Sophonias, a memorial in the temple of the Lord.
Era n’engule ya kubeera mu yeekaalu ya Mukama ng’ekijjukizo eri Keremu, ne Tobiya ne Keeni omwana wa Zeffaniya.
15 And they that are far off, shall come and shall build in the temple of the Lord: and you shall know that the Lord of hosts sent me to you. But this shall come to pass, if hearing you will hear the voice of the Lord your God.
Era n’abo abali ewala balijja okuyamba okuzimba yeekaalu ya Mukama, era mulimanya nga Mukama ow’Eggye yantuma gye muli. Bino tebirirema kubaawo singa munaagondera eddoboozi lya Mukama Katonda wammwe n’obumalirivu.”
