Four Chariots
1 And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.
Nikainua macho yangu tena, nikaona, na tazama, yanatokea magari ya vita manne, yanatoka kati ya milima miwili, na milima hiyo ilikuwa ni milima ya shaba.
2 In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
Katika gari la kwanza walikuwa farasi wekundu; na katika gari la pili walikuwa farasi weusi;
3 and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses.
na katika gari la tatu walikuwa farasi weupe; na katika gari la nne walikuwa farasi wa rangi ya kijivujivu.
4 Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord?
Nikajibu, nikamwuliza yule malaika aliyesema nami, Hawa ni nini, Bwana wangu?
5 And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
Malaika akajibu, akaniambia, Hawa ni pepo nne za mbinguni, zitokeazo baada ya kusimama mbele za Bwana wa dunia yote.
6 The black horses which are therein go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth toward the south country.
Gari lile lenye farasi weusi latoka kwenda hata nchi ya kaskazini; nao farasi weupe wakatoka wakafuata nyuma yao; na wale wa rangi ya kijivujivu wakatoka kwenda hata nchi ya kusini.
7 And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.
Na wale wekundu wakatoka, wakataka kwenda huko na huko katika dunia; naye akawaambia, Haya! Tokeni, mwende huko na huko katika dunia. Basi wakaenda huko na huko katika dunia.
8 Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.
Ndipo akaniita, akaniambia akisema, Tazama, wale waendao mpaka nchi ya kaskazini wameituliza roho yangu katika nchi ya kaskazini.
The New Jerusalem
A Coronation
9 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Neno la Bwana likanijia, kusema,
10 Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which are come from Babylon, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah;
Pokea vitu mikononi mwa baadhi ya watu waliohamishwa, yaani, Heldai, na Tobia, na Yedaya; na siku iyo hiyo enenda ukaingie katika nyumba ya Yosia, mwana wa Sefania, waliyoifikia kutoka Babeli;
11 then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest;
naam, pokea fedha na dhahabu, ukafanye taji, ukamvike kichwani Yoshua, mwana wa Yehosadaki, kuhani mkuu;
12 and speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:
ukamwambie, ukisema, Bwana wa majeshi asema hivi, ya kwamba, Tazama, mtu huyu ndiye ambaye jina lake ni Chipukizi; naye atakua katika mahali pake, naye atalijenga hekalu la Bwana.
13 even he shall build the temple of 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.
Naam, yeye atalijenga hekalu la Bwana; naye atauchukua huo utukufu; ataketi akimiliki katika kiti chake cha enzi; na kutakuwa na kuhani katika kiti chake cha enzi; na shauri la amani litakuwa kati ya hao wawili.
14 And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of the LORD.
Na hizo taji zitakuwa za Heldai, na Tobia, na Yedaya; na kwa fadhili za mwana wa Sefania; ziwe ukumbusho katika hekalu la Bwana.
15 And they that are far off shall come and build in 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 obey the voice of the LORD your God.
Nao walio mbali watakuja na kujenga katika hekalu la Bwana, nanyi mtajua ya kuwa Bwana wa majeshi amenituma kwenu. Na haya yatatokea, kama mkijitahidi kuitii sauti ya Bwana, Mungu wenu.
