¹Again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains; and the mountains were 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 were red horses; in the second chariot black horses;

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

³in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot dappled horses, all of them powerful.

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

⁴Then I asked the angel who talked 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?

⁵The angel answered me, “These are the four winds of the sky, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the 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 one with the black horses goes out toward the north country; and the white went out after them; and the dappled went forth toward the south country.”

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.

⁷The strong went out, and sought to go that they might walk back and forth through the earth: and he said, “Go around and through the earth!” So they walked back and forth through 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.

⁸Then 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.”

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.

⁹The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

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

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.

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;

¹¹Yes, take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, 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 speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh of Armies, “Behold, the man whose name is the Branch: and he shall grow up out of his place; and he shall build Yahweh’s temple;

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:

¹³even he shall build Yahweh’s temple; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule on his throne; and he shall be a priest on his throne; and the counsel of peace shall be between them 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.

¹⁴The crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in Yahweh’s temple.

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.

¹⁵Those 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 the voice of Yahweh your God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” .”’”

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.
