Question on cut

Korn Shell

I have a file whose values are delimited using colon ( : )
Code:
$ cat test.txt
hello:myde:temp:stiker


$ cut -d: -f2,4 test.txt
myde:stiker

I want field 2 and field 4 to be returned but separated by a hyphen. The output should look like
Code:
myde-stiker

How can do this ? (without awk if possible)
