Zechariah 6
1 And I turned, and lifted up my eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.
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.
2 In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
In the first chariot were red horses; in the second chariot black horses;
3 And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot spotted and bay horses.
in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot dappled horses, all of them powerful.
4 Then I answered and said to the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord?
Then I asked the angel who talked with me, "What are these, my lord?"
5 And the angel answered and said to me, These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
The angel answered me, "These are the four winds of the sky, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
6 The black horses which are in it go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the spotted go forth toward the south country.
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."
7 And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Go from here, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.
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.
8 Then he cried upon me, and spoke to me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.
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."
9 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
The word of YHWH came to me, saying,
10 Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, who are come from Babylon, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah;
"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.
11 Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest;
Take silver and gold, and make a crown, and set it on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest;
12 And speak to him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:
and speak to him, saying, 'Thus says YHWH 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 YHWH;
13 Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
even he shall build the temple of YHWH; 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.
14 And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of the LORD.
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 YHWH.
15 And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me to you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.
Those who are far off shall come and build in the temple of YHWH; and you shall know that YHWH of hosts has sent me to you. This will happen, if you will diligently obey the voice of YHWH your God."'"
