< Zechariah 6 >

1 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.
Ary natopiko indray ny masoko ka hitako fa, indreo, nisy kalesy efatra nivoaka avy teo anelanelan’ ny tendrombohitra roa; ary tendrombohitra varahina ireo tendrombohitra ireo.
2 In the first chariot [are] red horses, and in the second chariot brown horses,
Tamin’ ny kalesy voalohany dia nisy soavaly mena; tamin’ ny kalesy faharoa dia soavaly mainty;
3 and in the third chariot white horses, and in the fourth chariot strong grisled horses.
tamin’ ny kalesy fahatelo dia soavaly fotsy; ary tamin’ ny kalesy fahefatra dia soavaly sadamena.
4 And I answer and say unto the messenger who is speaking with me, 'What [are] these, my lord?'
Dia nanontany tamin’ ilay anjely niresaka tamiko aho ka nanao hoe: Inona moa ireo, tompoko?
5 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.
Ary ilay anjely namaly ka nilaza tamiko hoe: Ireo no rivotra efatry ny lanitra, izay mivoaka avy nitsangana teo anatrehan’ ny Tompon’ ny tany rehetra.
6 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;
Io misy ny soavaly mainty dia mivoaka mankamin’ ny tany avaratra; ary ny fotsy nivoaka nanaraka azy; ary ny sada nivoaka nankamin’ ny tany atsimo.
7 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.
Ary ny mena dia nivoaka ka nitady handeha hivoivoy eny amin’ ny tany; dia hoy izy: Mandehana ianareo, mivoivoiza eny amin’ ny tany. Ka dia nandeha nivoivoy teny amin’ ny tany izy.
8 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.'
Dia nitaraina mafy tamiko izy ka niteny tamiko hoe: Indro, ireo izay mivoaka mankamin’ ny tany avaratra dia nampionona ny fanahiko tany amin’ ny tany avaratra.
9 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
10 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,
Mandraisa avy amin’ ny babo, dia amin’ i Helday sy Tobia ary Jedaia, eny, mandehana amin’ izany andro izany ihany ianao, ka midìra ao an-tranon’ i Josia, zanak’ i Zefania, izay novantaniny nony vao tonga avy tany Babylona izy,
11 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,
eny, mandraisa volafotsy sy volamena, ka ataovy satro-boninahitra, dia apetraho eo an-dohan’ i Josoa, zanak’ i Jozadaka, mpisoronabe;
12 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.
dia lazao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Indro Lehilahy atao hoe Rantsana; ary hitsimoka eo am-pitoerany ihany Izy sady hanao ny tempolin’ i Jehovah.
13 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.
Eny, Izy no hanao ny tempolin’ i Jehovah, ary Izy no hitondra voninahitra ka hipetraka sy hanapaka eo amin’ ny seza fiandrianany; ary ho mpisorona eo amin’ ny seza fiandrianany Izy; ary hisy fisainam-pihavanana amin’ izy roroa.
14 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.
Ary ny satro-boninahitra dia ho an’ i Helema sy Tobia sy Jedaia ary Hena, zanak’ i Zefania, ho fampahatsiarovana ao amin’ ny tempolin’ i Jehovah.
15 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.'
Ary izay lavitra dia ho avy ka hanao ao amin’ ny tempolin’ i Jehovah, ka dia ho fantatrareo fa Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no naniraka ahy ho aminareo. Dia ho tonga izany, raha hazoto hihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo ianareo.
