< Zacharias 6 >

1 And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, four chariots coming out from between two mountains; and the mountains were brazen mountains.
Et conversus sum, et levavi oculos meos, et vidi: et ecce quattuor quadrigae egredientes de medio duorum montium: et montes, montes aerei.
2 In the first chariot [were] red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
In quadriga prima equi rufi, et in quadriga secunda equi nigri,
3 and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot piebald [and] ash-coloured horses.
et in quadriga tertia equi albi, et in quadriga quarta equi varii, et fortes.
4 And I answered and said to the angel that talked with me, What are these, my Lord?
Et respondi, et dixi ad angelum, qui loquebatur in me: Quid sunt haec, domine mi?
5 And the angel that talked with me answered and said, These are the four winds of heaven, [and] they are going forth to stand before the Lord of all the earth.
Et respondit angelus, et ait ad me: Isti sunt quattuor venti caeli, qui egrediuntur ut stent coram Dominatore omnis terrae.
6 [As for the chariot] in which were the black horses, they went out to the land of the north; and the white went out after them; and the piebald went out to the land of the south.
In qua erant equi nigri, egrediebantur in terram Aquilonis: et albi egressi sunt post eos: et varii egressi sunt ad terram Austri.
7 And the ash-coloured went out, and looked to go and compass the earth: and he said, Go, and compass the earth. And they compassed the earth.
Qui autem erant robustissimi, exierunt, et quaerebant ire, et discurrere per omnem terram. Et dixit: Ite, perambulate terram. et perambulaverunt terram.
8 And he cried out and spoke to me, saying, Behold, these go out to the land of the north, and they have quieted mine anger in the land of the north.
Et vocavit me, et locutus est ad me, dicens: Ecce qui egrediuntur in terram Aquilonis, requiescere fecerunt spiritum meum in terra Aquilonis.
9 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
10 Take the things of the captivity from the chief men, and from the useful men of it, and from them that have understood it; and you shall enter in that day into the house of Josias the son of Sophonias that came out of Babylon.
Sume a transmigratione ab Holdai, et a Tobia, et ab Idaia; et venies tu in die illa, et intrabis domum Iosiae, filii Sophoniae, qui venerunt de Babylone.
11 And you shall take silver and gold, and make crowns, and you shall put [them] upon the head of Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest;
Et sumes aurum, et argentum: et facies coronas, et pones in capite Iesu filii Iosedech sacerdotis magni,
12 and you shall say to him, Thus says the Lord Almighty; Behold the man whose name is The Branch; and he shall spring up from his stem, and build the house of the Lord.
et loqueris ad eum, dicens: Haec ait Dominus exercituum, dicens: ECCE VIR ORIENS NOMEN EIUS: et subter eum orietur, et aedificabit templum Domino.
13 And he shall receive power, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and there shall be a priest on his right hand, and a peaceful counsel shall be between [them] both.
Et ipse extruet templum Domino: et ipse portabit gloriam, et sedebit, et dominabitur super solio suo: et erit sacerdos super solio suo, et consilium pacis erit inter illos duos.
14 And the crown shall be to them that wait patiently, and to the useful men of the captivity, and to them that have known it, and for the favour of the son of Sophonias, and for a psalm in the house of the Lord.
Et coronae erunt Helem, et Tobiae, et Idaiae, et Hem, filio Sophoniae, memoriale in templo Domini.
15 And they [that are] far from them shall come and build in the house of the Lord, and you shall know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you: and [this] shall come to pass, if you will diligently listen to the voice of the Lord your God.
Et qui procul sunt, venient, et aedificabunt in templo Domini: et scietis quia Dominus exercituum misit me ad vos. Erit autem hoc, si auditu audieritis vocem Domini Dei vestri.
