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.

Again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.

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

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

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

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

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

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

5 N a 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.

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 K o 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.

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 I 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.

The 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.

8 K atahi 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.

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

Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

10 T angohia 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;

“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 A e 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;

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

12 K orero 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:

and speak to him, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies says, “Behold, the man whose name is the Branch: and he shall grow up out of his place; and he shall build Yahweh’s temple;

13 M ana 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.

even 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.

14 K a 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.

The 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.

15 K a 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.

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.”’”
