< Zechariah 6 >

1 Again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and look, four chariots came out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of bronze.
Atter løftede jeg mine Øjne og skuede, og se, fire Vogne kom frem mellem de to Bjerge, og Bjergene var af Kobber.
2 In the first chariot were red horses; in the second chariot black horses;
For den første Vogn var der røde Heste, for den anden sorte,
3 in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot dappled horses, all of them powerful.
for den tredje hvide og for den fjerde brogede.
4 Then I asked the angel who talked with me, "What are these, my lord?"
Jeg spurgte Engelen, som talte med mig: "Hvad betyder disse Herre?"
5 The angel answered me, "These are the four winds of the sky, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
Og Engelen svarede: "Det er Himmelens fire Vinde, som drager ud efter at have fremstillet sig for al Jordens Herre.
6 The one with the black horses goes out toward the north country; and the white went out after them; and the dappled went forth toward the south country."
Vognen med de sorte Heste for drager ud til Nordlandet, de hvide til Østlandet og de brogede til Sydlandet;
7 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.
de røde drager mod Vest. Og de var ivrige efter at komme af Sted for at drage ud over Jorden. Da sagde han: "Af Sted; drag ud over Jorden!" Og de drog ud over Jorden.
8 Then he called to me, and spoke to me, saying, "Look, those who go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country."
Så kaldte han på mig og talte således til mig: "Se, de, som drager ud til Nordlandet, lader min Ånd dale ned over Nordens Land."
9 The word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
10 "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.
Tag imod Gaver fra de landflygtige, fra Heldaj, Tobija og Jedaja; endnu i Dag skal du gå indtil Josjija, Zefanjas Søn, som er kommet fra Babel,
11 Take silver and gold, and make a crown, and set it on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest;
og modtage Sølv og Guld. Lad så lave en Krone og sæt den på Josuas Hoved
12 and speak to him, saying, 'Thus says Jehovah of hosts, "Look, the man whose name is the Branch: and he shall grow up out of his place; and he shall build the temple of Jehovah;
med de Ord: "Så siger Hærskarers HERRE: Se, der kommer en Mand, hvis Navn er Zemak under ham skal det spire, og han skal bygge HERRENs Helligdom.
13 even he shall build the temple of Jehovah; 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.
Han skal bygge HERRENs Helligdom, og han skal vinde Højhed og sidde som Hersker på sin Trone: og han skal være Præst ved hans højre Side, og der skal være fuld Enighed mellem de to.
14 And the crown shall be to Heldai, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Josiah the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of Jehovah.
Men Kronen skal blive i HERRENs Helligdom til Minde om Heldaj, Tobija, Jedaja og Hen, Zefanjas Søn.
15 Those who are far off shall come and build in the temple of Jehovah; and you shall know that Jehovah of hosts has sent me to you. This will happen, if you will diligently obey the voice of Jehovah your God."'"
Langvejs fra skal man komme og bygge på HERRENs Helligdom; og I skal kende, at Hærskarers HERRE har sendt mig til eder. Og dersom I adlyder HERREN eders Gud - - -
