Zechariah 6
1 Then I looked again and I saw four chariots coming out from between two mountains that looked like bronze.
Et conversus sum, et levavi oculos meos, et vidi: et ecce quattuor quadrigae egredientes de medio duorum montium: et montes, montes aerei.
2 The first chariot was pulled by red horses, the second by black horses,
In quadriga prima equi rufi, et in quadriga secunda equi nigri,
3 the third by white horses, and the fourth by dappled grey horses—all of them strong horses.
et in quadriga tertia equi albi, et in quadriga quarta equi varii, et fortes.
4 “My lord, what are these?” I asked the angel I was talking to.
Et respondi, et dixi ad angelum, qui loquebatur in me: Quid sunt haec, domine mi?
5 “They are going out to the four winds of heaven, after presenting themselves to the Lord of all the earth,” the angel explained.
Et respondit angelus, et ait ad me: Isti sunt quattuor venti caeli, qui egrediuntur ut stent coram Dominatore omnis terrae.
6 The chariot with the black horses went north, the one with the white horses went west, and the one with the dappled grey horses went south.
In qua erant equi nigri, egrediebantur in terram Aquilonis: et albi egressi sunt post eos: et varii egressi sunt ad terram Austri.
7 When the strong horses came out they were eager to set off to patrol the earth. And he said, “Go and patrol the earth!” So they left and patrolled the earth.
Qui autem erant robustissimi, exierunt, et quaerebant ire, et discurrere per omnem terram. Et dixit: Ite, perambulate terram. et perambulaverunt terram.
8 Then the angel called to me, saying, “Look! Those who went north have achieved what the Lord wanted 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 Then the Lord gave me another message:
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
10 Take the gifts brought by Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, the exiles returning from Babylon, and go immediately to the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah.
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 Use the silver and the gold they brought to make a crown, and place it on the head of Josiah, son of Jehozadak, the high priest.
Et sumes aurum, et argentum: et facies coronas, et pones in capite Iesu filii Iosedech sacerdotis magni,
12 Tell him this is what the Lord Almighty says: Look! The man who is called the Branch will grow from where he is and will build the Lord's Temple.
et loqueris ad eum, dicens: Haec ait Dominus exercituum, dicens: ECCE VIR ORIENS NOMEN EIUS: et subter eum orietur, et aedificabit templum Domino.
13 He is the one who will build the Lord's Temple, and he will be the one given the honor to rule from both the royal throne and the priestly throne and there will be peace and understanding between the two roles.
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 The crown will be kept in the Temple of the Lord as a memorial to Heldai, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and Joshua the son of Zephaniah.
Et coronae erunt Helem, et Tobiae, et Idaiae, et Hem, filio Sophoniae, memoriale in templo Domini.
15 People who live in distant lands will come and build the Temple of the Lord, and you will know that the Lord Almighty sent me to you. This will happen if you listen attentively to what the Lord tells you.
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.
