< Zechariah 6 >

1 And I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.
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, spotted-red horses.
et in quadriga tertia equi albi, et in quadriga quarta equi varii, et fortes.
4 Then I spake, 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 answered and said to me, These are the four Winds of heaven, which go forth from standing 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 The black horses, which are thereto, go forth into the north country, and the white go forth after them; and the spotted go forth into the south country.
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 red ones went forth, and sought to go, even to walk to and fro through the earth. And he said, Go, walk ye to and fro through the earth! So they walked to and fro through 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 he cried to me, and spake to me, saying, Behold, these that go forth toward the land of the North shall execute my wrath against 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 Jehovah came to me, saying:
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
10 Take from those of the captivity, from Heldai, from Tobijah, and from Jedaiah, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah, the son of Zephaniah, whither they are come from 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 take from them silver and gold, and make a crown, and set it upon the head of Joshua, the son of Josedech, the high-priest,
Et sumes aurum, et argentum: et facies coronas, et pones in capite Iesu filii Iosedech sacerdotis magni,
12 and speak to him, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: — Behold a man whose name is the Branch, He shall spring up from his place, And he shall build the temple of Jehovah.
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 shall build the temple of Jehovah, And he shall bear the majesty, And sit and rule upon his throne, And be a priest upon his throne, And the counsel of peace 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 Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen, the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of Jehovah.
Et coronae erunt Helem, et Tobiae, et Idaiae, et Hem, filio Sophoniae, memoriale in templo Domini.
15 And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of Jehovah; and ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me to you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of Jehovah, 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.
