Zacarias 6

1 Again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of bronze. 2 In the first chariot were red horses. In the second chariot were black horses. 3 In the third chariot were white horses. In the fourth chariot were dappled horses, all of them powerful. 4 Then I asked the angel who talked with me, "What are these, my lord?"

5 The angel answered me, "These are the four winds of the sky, which go out from standing before the Lord of all the earth. 6 The one with the black horses goes out toward the north country; and the white went out after them; and the dappled went out toward the south country." 7 The strong went out, and sought to go that they might walk back and forth through the earth. He said, "Go around and through the earth!" So they walked back and forth through the earth.

8 Then he called to me, and spoke to me, saying, "Behold, those who go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country."

9 Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, 10 "Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah; and come the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, where they have come from Babylon. 11 Yes, take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest; 12 and speak to him, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies says, "Behold, the man whose name is the Branch! He will grow up out of his place; and he will build Yahweh’s temple. 13 He will build Yahweh’s temple. He will bear the glory, and will sit and rule on his throne. He will be a priest on his throne. The counsel of peace will be between them both. 14 The crowns shall be to Helem, to Tobijah, to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in Yahweh’s temple.

15 Those who are far off shall come and build in Yahweh’s temple; and you shall know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you. This will happen, if you will diligently obey Yahweh your God’s voice."’"*6:15 The Hebrew word rendered "God" is "אֱלֹהִ֑ים" (Elohim).

He Hāriata e Whā

1 Ā, ka maranga ake anō ōku kanohi, ka kite, nā, e whā ngā hāriata e puta mai ana i waenganui o ngā maunga e rua – nā, ko ngā maunga, he maunga parāhi. 2 I te hāriata tuatahi he whero ngā hōiho; i te hāriata tuarua he mangu ngā hōiho, 3 i te toru o ngā hāriata he mā ngā hōiho, i te whā o ngā hāriata he kōpurepure, he pākākā ngā hōiho. 4 Kātahi ahau ka oho atu, ka mea ki te anahera i kōrero rā ki ahau, "He aha ēnei, e tōku ariki?"

5 Nā, ka whakahoki mai te anahera, ka mea ki ahau, "Ko ngā hau e whā ēnei o te rangi, e haere mai ana i te tū i te aroaro o te Ariki o te whenua katoa. 6 Ko te hāriata i ngā hōiho mangu, e haere ana rātou ki te whenua i te raki; ā, i haere ngā mea mā i muri i a rātou; nā, ko ngā mea kōpurepure i ahu pērā ki te whenua ki te tonga."

7 I haere atu anō ngā mea pākākā, i whai kia hāereere, kia kōpikopiko rātou i te whenua. Nā, ka mea ia, "Haere atu koe, kōpikopiko i te whenua." Nā, kei te kōpikopiko rātou i te whenua.

8 Kātahi tērā ka karanga ki ahau, ka kōrero mai hoki ki ahau, ka mea, "Nanā, ko ēnei i ahu atu nei ki te whenua ki te raki, kua mārie i a rātou tōku wairua i te whenua ki te raki."

Te Whakahau kia Karaunitia a Hohua

9 I puta mai anō te kupu a Ihowā ki ahau, i mea: 10 "Tangohia tā ngā whakarau, arā tā Hererai, tā Tōpia, tā Ieraia – haere mai anō koe i taua rā, ka tomo ki te whare o Hōhia tama a Tepania – ki te whare i tae mai ai rātou i Papurōna. 11 Āe rā, ka tango i tā rātou hiriwa, kōura hoki, ka hanga ai i ētahi karauna, ā, ka pōtae atu ki te māhunga o te tino tohunga, o Hohua tama a Iohereke; 12 kōrero atu hoki ki a ia, mea atu: ‘Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā o ngā mano, e kī ana: Nanā, te tangata ko tōna ingoa nei ko te Manga: ā, ka tupu ake anō ia i tōna wāhi, ā, māna e hanga te temepara o Ihowā. 13 Māna rawa e hanga te temepara o Ihowā; ā, māna e waha te korōria, ka noho hoki ia ka whakahaere tikanga i runga i tōna torōna; ā, hei tohunga ia i runga i tōna torōna; ā, ka whakaaro ngātahi rāua mō te rongo mau.’ 14 Ka ai hoki ngā karauna hei whakamahara ki a Hēreme rātou ko Tōpia, ko Ieraia, ko Hene tama a Tepania, i roto i te temepara o Ihowā. 15 Ka haere mai anō te hunga i tawhiti, ka hanga i roto i te temepara o Ihowā, ā, ka mōhio koutou nā Ihowā o ngā mano ahau i unga mai ki a koutou. Ā, e puta anō tēnei, ki te āta whakarongo koutou ki te reo o Ihowā, o tō koutou Atua."
