< Zechariah 6 >

1 Again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of bronze.
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. In the second chariot were black horses.
In quadriga prima equi rufi, et in quadriga secunda equi nigri,
3 In the third chariot were white horses. In the fourth chariot were dappled horses, all of them powerful.
et in quadriga tertia equi albi, et in quadriga quarta equi varii, et fortes.
4 Then I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?”
Et respondi, et dixi ad angelum, qui loquebatur in me: Quid sunt haec, domine mi?
5 The angel answered me, “These are the four winds of the sky, which go out 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 one with the black horses goes out towards the north country; and the white went out after them; and the dappled went out towards 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 The strong went out, and sought to go that they might walk back and forth through the earth. He said, “Go around and through the earth!” So they walked back and forth 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 called to me, and spoke to me, saying, “Behold, those who go towards the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.”
Et vocavit me, et locutus est ad me, dicens: Ecce qui egrediuntur in terram Aquilonis, requiescere fecerunt spiritum meum in terra Aquilonis.
9 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
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.
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 Yes, take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, 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, ‘The LORD of Armies says, “Behold, the man whose name is the Branch! He will grow up out of his place; and he 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 will build the LORD’s temple. He will bear the glory, and will sit and rule on his throne. He will be a priest on his throne. The counsel of peace will 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 The crowns shall be to Helem, to Tobijah, to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the LORD’s temple.
Et coronae erunt Helem, et Tobiae, et Idaiae, et Hem, filio Sophoniae, memoriale in templo Domini.
15 Those who are far off shall come and build in the LORD’s temple; and you shall know that the LORD of Armies has sent me to you. This will happen, if you will diligently obey the LORD your God’s voice.”’”
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.
