< Zacarias 6 >

1 E outra vez levantei os meus olhos, e olhei, e eis que vi quatro carros que sairam dentre dois montes, e estes montes eram montes de metal.
And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, four chariots coming out from between two mountains; and the mountains were brazen mountains.
2 No primeiro carro eram cavalos vermelhos, e no segundo carro cavalos pretos,
In the first chariot [were] red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
3 E no terceiro carro cavalos brancos, e no quarto carro cavalos saraivados, que eram fortes.
and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot piebald [and] ash-coloured horses.
4 E respondi, e disse ao anjo que falava comigo: Que é isto, Senhor meu?
And I answered and said to the angel that talked with me, What are these, my Lord?
5 E o anjo respondeu, e me disse: Estes são os quatro ventos do céu, saindo de onde estavam perante o Senhor de toda a terra.
And the angel that talked with me answered and said, These are the four winds of heaven, [and] they are going forth to stand before the Lord of all the earth.
6 O carro em que estão os cavalos pretos, sai para a terra do norte, e os brancos saem atráz deles, e os saraivados saem para a terra do sul.
[As for the chariot] in which were the black horses, they went out to the land of the north; and the white went out after them; and the piebald went out to the land of the south.
7 E os cavalos fortes saiam, e procuravam ir por diante, para andarem pela terra. E ele disse: Ide, andai pela terra. E andavam pela terra.
And the ash-coloured went out, and looked to go and compass the earth: and he said, Go, and compass the earth. And they compassed the earth.
8 E me chamou, e me falou, dizendo: Eis que aqueles que sairam para a terra do norte fizeram repousar o meu espírito na terra do norte.
And he cried out and spoke to me, saying, Behold, these go out to the land of the north, and they have quieted mine anger in the land of the north.
9 E a palavra do Senhor veio a mim, dizendo:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
10 Toma dos que foram levados cativos: de Heldai, de Tobias, e de Jedaia (e vem naquele dia, e entra na casa de Josias, filho de Sofonias), os quais vieram de Babilônia.
Take the things of the captivity from the chief men, and from the useful men of it, and from them that have understood it; and thou shalt enter in that day into the house of Josias the son of Sophonias that came out of Babylon.
11 Toma, digo, prata e ouro, e faze corôas, e põe-as na cabeça de Josué, filho de Josadac, sumo sacerdote.
And thou shalt take silver and gold, and make crowns, and thou shalt put [them] upon the head of Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest;
12 E fala-lhe, dizendo: Assim fala o Senhor dos exércitos, dizendo: Eis aqui o homem cujo nome é o Renovo que brotará do seu lugar, e edificará o templo do Senhor.
and thou shalt say to him, Thus saith the Lord Almighty; Behold the man whose name is The Branch; and he shall spring up from his stem, and build the house of the Lord.
13 Ele mesmo edificará o templo do Senhor, e levará ele a glória, e assentar-se-á, e dominará no seu trono, e será sacerdote no seu trono, e conselho de paz haverá entre eles ambos.
And he shall receive power, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and there shall be a priest on his right hand, and a peaceable counsel shall be between [them] both.
14 E estas corôas serão de Helem, e de Tobias, e de Jedaia, e de Chen, filho de Sofonias, por memorial no templo do Senhor.
And the crown shall be to them that wait patiently, and to the useful men of the captivity, and to them that have known it, and for the favour of the son of Sophonias, and for a psalm in the house of the Lord.
15 E aqueles que estão longe virão, e edificarão no templo do Senhor, e vós sabereis que o Senhor dos exércitos me tem enviado a vós; e isto acontecerá assim, se ouvirdes mui atentos a voz do Senhor vosso Deus.
And they [that are] far from them shall come and build in the house of the Lord, and ye shall know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you: and [this] shall come to pass, if ye will diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord your God.
