¹And 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.

¹¶ A ka maranga ake ano oku kanohi, ka kite, na e wha nga hariata e puta mai ana i waenganui o nga maunga e rua; na, ko nga maunga, he maunga parahi.

²In the first chariot [are] red horses, and in the second chariot brown horses,

²I te hariata tuatahi he whero nga hoiho; i te hariata tuarua he mangu nga hoiho;

³and in the third chariot white horses, and in the fourth chariot strong grisled horses.

³I te toru o nga hariata he ma nga hoiho, i te wha o nga hariata he kopurepure, he pakaka nga hoiho.

⁴And I answer and say unto the messenger who is speaking with me, `What [are] these, my lord?`

⁴Katahi ahau ka oho atu, ka mea ki te anahera i korero ra ki ahau, He aha enei, e toku ariki?

⁵And 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.

⁵Na ka whakahoki mai te anahera, ka mea ki ahau, Ko nga hau e wha enei o te rangi, e haere mai ana i te tu i te aroaro o te Ariki o te whenua katoa.

⁶The 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;

⁶Ko te hariata i nga hoiho mangu, e haere ana ratou ki te whenua i te raki; a i haere nga mea ma i muri i a ratou; na ko nga mea kopurepure i ahu pera ki te whenua ki te tonga.

⁷and 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.

⁷I haere atu ano nga mea pakaka, i whai kia haereere, kia kopikopiko ratou i te whenua: na ka mea ia, Haere atu koe, kopikopiko i te whenua. Na kei te kopikopiko ratou i te whenua.

⁸And 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.`

⁸Katahi tera ka karanga ki ahau, ka korero mai hoki ki ahau, ka mea, Nana, ko enei i ahu atu nei ki te whenua ki te raki, kua marie i a ratou toku wairua i te whenua ki te raki.

⁹And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,

⁹¶ I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,

¹⁰to 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,

¹⁰Tangohia ta nga whakarau, ara ta Hererai, ta Topia, ta Ieraia; haere mai ano koe i taua ra, ka tomo ki te whare o Hohia tama a Tepania, ki te whare i tae mai ai ratou i Papurona;

¹¹and 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,

¹¹Ae ra, ka tango i ta ratou hiriwa, koura hoki, ka hanga ai i etahi karauna, a ka potae atu ki te mahunga o te tino tohunga, o Hohua tama a Iohereke;

¹²and 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.

¹²Korero atu hoki ki a ia, mea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, e ki ana, Nana, te tangata ko tona ingoa nei ko te Manga; a ka tupu ake ano ia i tona wahi, a mana e hanga te temepara o Ihowa:

¹³Yea, 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.

¹³Mana rawa e hanga te temepara o Ihowa; a mana e waha te kororia, ka noho hoki ia ka whakahaere tikanga i runga i tona torona; a hei tohunga ia i runga i tona torona: a ka whakaaro ngatahi raua mo te rongo mau.

¹⁴And 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.

¹⁴Ka ai hoki nga karauna hei whakamahara ki a Hereme ratou ko Topia, ko Ieraia, ko Hene tama a Tepania, i roto i te temepara o Ihowa.

¹⁵And 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.`

¹⁵Ka haere mai ano te hunga i tawhiti, ka hanga i roto i te temepara o Ihowa, a ka mohio koutou na Ihowa o nga mano ahau i unga mai ki a koutou. A e puta ano tenei, ki te ata whakarongo koutou ki te reo o Ihowa, o to koutou Atua.
