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 Ay ye k'ay boŋ sambu koyne, kal ay di torko taaci go no kaŋ fun tondi hinka game ra. Tondey din mo, guuru-say tondiyaŋ no.

¹And again I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.

²In the first chariot were red horses; in the second chariot black horses;

² Torko sintina, bari cirayyaŋ no g'a candi, torko hinkanta, bari biyaŋ no,

²In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;

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

³ ihinzanta, bari kwaarayyaŋ no, torko taacanta mo, bari boosayaŋ kaŋ gonda gaabi no.

³and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grizzled strong horses.

⁴Then I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?”

⁴ Waato din gaa no ay tu malayka kaŋ in d'a goono ga salaŋ din se ka ne: «Ya ay jina bora, ifo no woone yaŋ wo?»

⁴Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord?

⁵The angel answered me, “These are the four winds of the sky, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.

⁵ Malayka tu ka ne ay se: «Woone yaŋ ga ti beene biya taaca, kaŋ yaŋ ga kay ndunnya kulu Rabbo jine, i ga fatta mo.

⁵And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four winds of heaven, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.

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.”

⁶ Bari biyey wano ga fatta ka koy azawa kambe haray laabo ra. Ikwaarayey mo ga fatta k'i gana. Boosey mo ga fatta ka koy dandi kambe laabo ra haray.»

⁶[The chariot] wherein are the black horses goeth forth toward the north country; and the white went forth after them; and the grizzled went forth toward the south country.

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.

⁷ Kaŋ icirayey fatta, i gonda anniya ngey ma koy-da-ye te ndunnya ra. Rabbi ne: Wa koy ka bar-bare. Wa koy-da-ye te ndunnya ra. I binde bar-bare, i goono ga koy-da-ye te ndunnya ra.

⁷And the strong 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.

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.”

⁸ A binde na jinde sambu noodin k'ay ce ka ne ay se: Guna wo kaŋ yaŋ goono ga dira ka koy azawa kambe haray laabo ra. I n'ay bina yeenandi azawa kambe haray laabo ra.

⁸Then cried he to me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, they that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.

⁹The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

⁹ Rabbi sanno kaa ay do koyne ka ne:

⁹And the word of Jehovah came unto 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.

¹⁰ Ma tamtaray izey nooyaŋey ta, sanda Helday windo waney, da Tobiya wane, da Yedaya wane. Han din mo ni bumbo ma koy ka furo Yosiya Zafaniya izo windo ra, nango kaŋ borey bara kaŋ yaŋ kaa ka fun Babila.

¹⁰Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah; and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, whither they are come from Babylon;

¹¹Yes, take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest;

¹¹ Ni ma wura da nzarfu ta i gaa ka wura koytaray fuula te, k'a daŋ alfaga beero Yesuwa Yehozadak izo boŋo gaa.

¹¹yea, take [of them] silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest;

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;

¹² Ma salaŋ a se ka ne: Yaa no Rabbi Kundeykoyo ci: Boro neeya kaŋ maa ga ti Tuuri Kambe. A ga fun ka zay nga nango ra. Nga mo no ga Rabbi sududuyaŋ windo cina.

¹²and speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh Jehovah 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 Jehovah;

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.

¹³ Nga bumbo no ga Rabbi sududuyaŋ windo cina, a ga koytaray darza cabe mo. A ga goro ka mayray te nga koytaray karga boŋ, a ga ciya alfaga mo a koytaray karga boŋ. Laakal kanay saaware mo ga goro i muraadu hinka game ra.

¹³even he shall build the temple of Jehovah; 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.

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.

¹⁴ I ga koytaray fuulayaŋ no Helem, da Tobiya, da Yedaya, da gomnikoyo Zafaniya izo se, fonguyaŋ hari no Rabbi sududuyaŋ windo ra.

¹⁴And 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 Jehovah.

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.” .”’”

¹⁵ Nangu mooray borey mo ga kaa ka cina Rabbi sududuyaŋ windo ra. Araŋ ga bay mo kaŋ Rabbi Kundeykoyo no k'ay donton araŋ gaa. D'araŋ na Rabbi araŋ Irikoyo sanno gana da anniya, woodin kulu ga bara.

¹⁵And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of Jehovah; and ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto you. And [this] shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of Jehovah your God.
