< Zacarias 6 >

1 Kalpasanna, timmalliawak ken timmangadak, ket nakitak ti uppat a karuahe a rumrummuar manipud iti nagbaetan dagiti dua a bronse a bantay.
And I again lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold, there came out four chariots from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of copper.
2 Guyguyoden dagiti nalabaga a kabalio ti umuna a karuahe, guyguyoden dagiti nangisit a kabalio ti maikadua a karuahe,
In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot, black horses:
3 guyguyoden dagiti puraw a kabalio ti maikatlo a karuahe, ken guyguyoden dagiti labang a maris dapo a kabalio ti maikapat a karuahe.
And in the third chariot, white horses; and in the fourth chariot, grizzled, ash-colored horses.
4 Isu a kinunak iti anghel a nakisarsarita kaniak, “Apok, ania dagitoy?”
And I began and said unto the angel that spoke with me, What are these, my lord?
5 Simmungbat ti anghel ket kinunana kaniak, “Ibagbagi dagitoy a karuahe ken dagiti mangguyguyod a kabalio dagiti uppat nga angin a rumrummuar manipud iti langit iti sangoanan ti Apo a mangtengtengngel iti entero a daga.
And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth after having stood before the Lord of all the earth.
6 Agturong iti amianan a pagilian ti karuahe a guyguyoden dagiti nangisit a kabalio; agturong iti laud a pagilian dagiti puraw a kabalio; ken agturong iti abagatan a pagilian dagiti labang a maris dapo a kabalio.”
The [chariot] on which are black horses—these go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grizzled go forth toward the south country.
7 Rimmuar dagitoy a napipigsa a kabalio ket maganatanda a mapan mangwanawan iti entero a daga, isu a kinuna ti anghel, “Inkayo ket wanawananyo ti entero a daga!” ket napanda iti entero a daga.
And the red-colored were gone forth, and sought to traverse the earth: and he said, Go, traverse the earth. So they traversed the earth.
8 Kalpasanna, pinukkawannak sana kinuna kaniak, “Kitaem dagiti kabalio nga agturong iti amianan a pagilian; pabaawendanto ti unget ti espirituk maipapan iti amianan a pagilian.”
Then cried he loudly unto me, and spoke unto me, saying, Behold, these that are going toward the north country, have quieted [the indignation of] my spirit in the north country.
9 Immay ngarud kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kunana,
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
10 “Mangalaka iti daton manipud kadagiti napagtalaw a kas balud idiay Babilonia—kada Heldai, Tobijas, ken Jedaias—ket ita met laeng nga aldaw, ipanmo daytoy iti balay ni Josias a putot ni Sofonias.
Take from the exiles, from Cheldai, from Tobiyahu, and from Yeda'yah, and thou shalt come on the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephanyah, whither they have arrived from Babylon;
11 Ket alaem ti pirak ken balitok, mangaramidka iti maysa a korona, ket ikabilmo daytoy iti ulo ni Josue a nangato a padi a putot ni Josadac.
Take also silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua, the son of Jehozadak the high priest;
12 Makisaritaka kenkuana ket ibagam, 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: “Ti nagan daytoy a tao ket ti Sanga! Ket dumakkelto isuna iti ayanna ken ipatakdernanto ti templo ni Yahweh!
And thou shalt say unto him as followeth, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, saying, Behold a man, Sprout is his name; since out of his own place shall he sprout up, even he shall build the temple of the Lord:
13 Isunanto ti mangipatakder iti templo ni Yahweh ken mangitag-ay ti dayag daytoy; ket agtugaw ken agturayto isuna iti tronona. Agbalinto isuna a maysa a padi iti tronona, ket addanto ti kappia iti nagbaetan ti dua nga akem.
Yea, he shall build the temple of the Lord; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and a priest shall be upon his own throne; and the counsel of peace shall be between both of them.
14 Addanto maikabil a korona iti templo ni Yahweh tapno padayawan da Heldai, Tobijas, ken Jedaias ken agpaayto a pakalaglagipan iti kinaparabur ti putot ni Sofonias.
And the crowns shall be for Chelem, and for Tobiyah, and for Yeda'yah, and for Chen the son of Zephanyah, as a memorial in the temple of the Lord.
15 Kalpasanna, umayto dagiti adda iti adayo ket ipatakderda ti templo ni Yahweh, tapno maammoanyo a ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ti nangibaon kaniak kadakayo; ta mapasamakto daytoy no pudno a dumngegkayo iti timek ni Yahweh a Diosyo!””
And distant ones shall come and build on the temple of the Lord, and ye shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord your God.
