Di Four Chariots Comot
Four chariots go out to patrol the earth for the Sovereign of the whole earth. Then dem make crown from gold wey the exiles bring and put am for Joshua head, e dey point to the Branch, wey go build we Papa temple and hold both throne and priesthood for peace and harmony.
6 1I look up again—four chariots dey comot between two mountains, mountains wey be bronze. 2Di first chariot get red horses, di second chariot black horses, 3di third chariot white horses, and di fourth chariot horses wey get plenty color—all of dem strong. 4So I ask di angel wey dey talk with me, “Wetin be dis ones, my oga?”
5Di angel answer, “Dis na di four winds of heaven, wey dey comot from wia dem dey stand before di Sovereign of di whole earth. 6Di chariot with black horses dey go di northern land, di white ones dey follow dem, and di ones wey get plenty color dey go di southern land. 7As di strong horses comot, dem dey hurry to patrol di earth, and e talk, ‘Go, patrol di earth!’ So dem patrol di earth.”
8Den e call me, e talk, “Look, dose wey dey go di north land don make my Spirit rest for di north land.” a a v8 “Make my Spirit rest” mean say God plan to judge di north — di direction wey di people wey dey oppress Israel take come — don happen finish now.
Di Branch Go Build Im Temple
9Den di word of our Papa come to me:
10“Take offering from di people wey dem carry go exile—Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, wey don come from Babylon—and for dat same day go di house of Josiah pikin of Zephaniah. 11Take silver and gold, make crown, and put am for di head of Joshua pikin of Jehozadak, di high priest.’ 12Tell am: Dis na wetin di Papa of heaven army talk: ‘See di man wey dem dey call di Branch; e go branch comot from im place and build di temple of our Papa. 13Na im go build our Papa temple, carry di majesty, and sit and rule for im throne. E go be priest for im throne, and peaceful harmony go join di two offices together. b b v13 For here one man na king for di throne and priest at di same time — something wey no ruler for Israel ever fit be. E dey point forward to Jesus, wey be di only one wey join kingship and priesthood together, and na for inside am di peace between di two dey hold perfect. 14Di crown go stay for our Papa temple as memorial for Heldai, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and Hen pikin of Zephaniah. 15Dose wey dey far go come build di temple of our Papa, and una go know say di Papa of heaven army send me come to una. Dis go happen if una obey im voice well well.’”
