Zechariah 6
1 And again lifting up my eyes I saw four war-carriages coming out from between the two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.
Et conversus sum, et levavi oculos meos, et vidi: et ecce quatuor quadrigæ egredientes de medio duorum montium: et montes, montes ærei.
2 In the first war-carriage were red horses; and in the second, black horses;
In quadriga prima equi rufi, et in quadriga secunda equi nigri,
3 And in the third, white horses; and in the fourth, horses of mixed colour.
et in quadriga tertia equi albi, et in quadriga quarta equi varii et fortes.
4 And I made answer and said to the angel who was talking to me, What are these, my lord?
Et respondi, et dixi ad angelum qui loquebatur in me: Quid sunt hæc, domine mi?
5 And the angel, answering, said to me, These go out to the four winds of heaven from their place before the Lord of all the earth.
Et respondit angelus, et ait ad me: Isti sunt quatuor venti cæli, qui egrediuntur ut stent coram Dominatore omnis terræ.
6 The carriage in which are the black horses goes in the direction of the north country; the white go to the west; and those of mixed colour go in the direction of 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 go to the east; and they made request that they might go up and down through the earth: and he said, Go up and down through the earth. So they went up and down through the earth.
Qui autem erant robustissimi, exierunt, et quærebant ire et discurrere per omnem terram. Et dixit: Ite, perambulate terram: et perambulaverunt terram.
8 Then crying out to me, he said, See, those who are going to the north country have given rest to the spirit of the Lord 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 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
10 Take the offerings of those who went away as prisoners, from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, and from the family of Josiah, the son of Zephaniah, who have come from Babylon;
Sume a transmigratione, ab Holdai, et a Tobia, et ab Idaia: et venies tu in die illa, et intrabis domum Josiæ filii Sophoniæ, qui venerunt de Babylone.
11 And take silver and gold and make a crown and put it on the head of Zerubbabel;
Et sumes aurum et argentum, et facies coronas, et pones in capite Jesu filii Josedec, sacerdotis magni:
12 And say to him, These are the words of the Lord of armies: See, the man whose name is the Branch, under whom there will be fertile growth.
et loqueris ad eum, dicens: Hæc ait Dominus exercituum, dicens: Ecce vir, Oriens nomen ejus, et subter eum orietur, et ædificabit templum Domino.
13 And he will be the builder of the Temple of the Lord; and the glory will be his, and he will take his place as ruler on the seat of power; and Joshua will be a priest at his right hand, and between them there will be a design of peace.
Et ipse exstruet 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 will be for grace to Heldai and Tobijah and Jedaiah and the son of Zephaniah, to keep their memory living in the house of the Lord.
Et coronæ erunt Helem, et Tobiæ, et Idaiæ, et Hem filio Sophoniæ, memoriale in templo Domini.
15 And those who are far away will come and be builders in the Temple of the Lord, and it will be clear to you that the Lord of armies has sent me to you.
Et qui procul sunt, venient, et ædificabunt in templo Domini: et scietis quia Dominus exercituum misit me ad vos. Erit autem hoc, si auditu audieritis vocem Domini Dei vestri.
