Sakalaia 6

1Again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains. And the mountains were mountains of bronze.

1PEA naʻaku tafoki, ʻo hanga hake hoku mata, pea u sio, pea vakai, naʻe hā ʻae saliote ʻe fā ʻoku haʻu mei he vahaʻa ʻoe ongo moʻunga ʻe ua; pea ko e ongo moʻunga, ko e moʻunga palasa.

2The first chariot had red horses, the second black horses,

2Naʻe ʻi he ʻuluaki saliote ʻae fanga hoosi kulokula; pea ko e fanga hoosi ʻuliʻuli ʻi hono ua ʻoe saliote;

3the third white horses, and the fourth chariot dappled horses—all of them strong.

3Pea naʻe ʻi hono tolu ʻoe saliote ʻae fanga hoosi hinehina, pea ko e fanga hoosi pulepule mo kulokula naʻe ʻi hono fā ʻoe saliote.

4Then I answered and said to the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?”

4Ko ia naʻaku pehē ai ki he ʻāngelo ʻaia naʻa ma talanoa mo au, “ʻE hoku ʻeiki ko e hā ʻena?”

5And the angel answered and said to me, “These are going out to the four winds of heaven, after presenting themselves before the LORD of all the earth.

5Pea naʻe tali ʻo pehē mai ʻe he ʻāngelo, “Ko e laumālie ia ʻe fā ʻoe ngaahi langi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻalu atu mei heʻenau tutuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻo māmani kotoa pē.”

6The chariot with the black horses goes toward the north country, the white ones go after them, and the dappled ones go toward the south country.”

6‌ʻOku ʻalu ʻae fanga hoosi ʻuliʻuli ʻoku ʻi ai ki he ngaahi potu fakatokelau, pea ʻoku muimui ki ai ʻaia ʻoku hinehina; ka ʻe ʻalu ʻae pulepule ki he fonua ki he potu tonga.

7When the strong horses came out, they were impatient to go and patrol the earth. And he said, “Go, patrol the earth.” So they patrolled the earth.

7Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae kulokula ʻo ʻahiʻahi ia ke feʻaluʻaki fano ʻi māmani: pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻAlu atu koe mo ʻeveʻeva fano ʻi māmani.” Pea ko ia naʻa nau feʻaluʻaki fano ʻi māmani.

8Then he cried to me, “Behold, those who go toward the north country have set my Spirit at rest in the north country.”

8Hili ia naʻa ne ui kiate au mo ne lea kiate au, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ko kinautolu na kuo ʻalu ki he potu fakatokelau, kuo nau fakafiemālieʻi hoku laumālie ki he fonua ʻi he tokelau.”

9And the word of the LORD came to me:

9Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,

10“Take from the exiles Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, who have arrived from Babylon, and go the same day to the house of Josiah, the son of Zephaniah.

10“Lau mai ha niʻihi mei he kau pōpula, ʻio, mei he faʻahinga ʻo Hilitai mo Topisa, pea mo Sitaia, ʻakinautolu kuo haʻu mei Papilone, pea ke haʻu koe ʻi he ʻaho pe ko ia, pea ke hū atu ki he fale ʻo Siosaia ko e foha ʻo Sefanaia;

11Take from them silver and gold, and make a crown, and set it on the head of Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest.

11Pea ke toʻo ha siliva mo ha koula, pea ngaohi ha ngaahi tatā fakatuʻi, pea ʻai ia ki he ʻulu ʻo Siosiua ko e foha ʻo Sosataki, ko e taulaʻeiki lahi;

12And say to him, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts, “Behold, the man whose name is the Branch: for he shall branch out from his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD.

12Pea lea kiate ia ʻo pehē, ‘ʻOku pehē mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, Vakai, ki he tangata ʻaia ʻoku hingoa ko e VAA; ʻe tupu hake ia ʻi hono potu; pea ko ia ia te ne langa ʻae fale tapu ʻo Sihova:

13It is he who shall build the temple of the LORD and shall bear royal honor, and shall sit and rule on his throne. And there shall be a priest on his throne, and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.”’

13‌ʻIo, ko ia ia te ne langa ʻae fale tapu ʻo Sihova; pea ko ia ia ʻe fua ʻa hono nāunau, pea te ne nofo mo pule ʻi hono nofoʻa fakatuʻi, pea ʻe taulaʻeiki ia ʻi hono nofoʻanga fakatuʻi: pea ʻe ʻiate kinaua fakatouʻosi ʻae alea fakamelino.’

14And the crown shall be in the temple of the LORD as a reminder to Helem, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and Hen the son of Zephaniah.

14Pea ko e ngaahi tatā fakatuʻi ʻe tuku kia Helemi, pea mo Topisa, mo Sitaia, pea kia Heni, ko e foha ʻo Sefanaia, ko e meʻa fakamanatu ʻi he fale tapu ʻo Sihova.”

15“And those who are far off shall come and help to build the temple of the LORD. And you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you. And this shall come to pass, if you will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.”

15Pea ʻe haʻu ʻakinautolu ʻoku mei he mamaʻo, ke nau langa ʻae fale tapu ʻo Sihova, pea te mou ʻilo kuo fekau au kiate kimoutolu, ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau. Pea ʻe hoko eni, ʻo kapau te mou tokanga fakamātoato ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova, ko homou ʻOtua.
