< 撒迦利亚书 6 >
1 我又举目观看,见有四辆车从两山中间出来;那山是铜山。
And I turned, and lifted up my eyes, and saw: and behold four chariots came out from the midst of two mountains: and the mountains were mountains of brass.
In the first chariot were red horses, and in the second chariot black horses.
And in the third chariot white horses, and in the fourth chariot grisled horses, and strong ones.
4 我就问与我说话的天使说:“主啊,这是什么意思?”
And I answered, and said to the angel that spoke in me: What are these, my lord?
5 天使回答我说:“这是天的四风,是从普天下的主面前出来的。”
And the angel answered, and said to me: These are the four winds of the heaven, which go forth to stand before the Lord of all the earth.
6 套着黑马的车往北方去,白马跟随在后;有斑点的马往南方去。
That in which were the black horses went forth into the land of the north, and the white went forth after them: and the grisled went forth to the land of the south.
7 壮马出来,要在遍地走来走去。天使说:“你们只管在遍地走来走去。”它们就照样行了。
And they that were most strong, went out, and sought to go, and to run to and fro through all the earth. And he said: Go, walk throughout the earth: and they walked throughout the earth.
8 他又呼叫我说:“看哪,往北方去的已在北方安慰我的心。”
And he called me, and spoke to me, saying: Behold they that go forth into the land of the north, have quieted my spirit in the land of the north.
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
10 “你要从被掳之人中取黑玳、多比雅、耶大雅的金银。这三人是从巴比伦来到西番雅的儿子约西亚的家里。当日你要进他的家,
Take of them of the captivity, of Holdai, and of Tobias, and of Idaias; thou shalt come in that day, and shalt go into the house of Josias, the son of Sophonias, who came out of Babylon.
11 取这金银做冠冕,戴在约撒答的儿子大祭司约书亚的头上,
And thou shalt take gold and silver: and shalt make crowns, and thou shalt set them on the head of Jesus the son of Josedec, the high priest.
12 对他说,万军之耶和华如此说:看哪,那名称为大卫苗裔的,他要在本处长起来,并要建造耶和华的殿。
And thou shalt speak to him, saying: Thus saith the Lord of hosts, saying: BEHOLD A MAN, THE ORIENT IS HIS NAME: and under him shall he spring up, and shall build a temple to the Lord.
13 他要建造耶和华的殿,并担负尊荣,坐在位上掌王权;又必在位上作祭司,使两职之间筹定和平。
Yea, he shall build a temple to 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.
14 这冠冕要归希连、多比雅、耶大雅,和西番雅的儿子贤,放在耶和华的殿里为记念。”
And the crowns shall be to Helem, and Tobias, and Idaias, and to Hem, the son of Sophonias, a memorial in the temple of the Lord.
15 远方的人也要来建造耶和华的殿,你们就知道万军之耶和华差遣我到你们这里来。你们若留意听从耶和华—你们 神的话,这事必然成就。
And they that are far off, shall come and shall build in the temple of the Lord: and you shall know that the Lord of hosts sent me to you. But this shall come to pass, if hearing you will hear the voice of the Lord your God.
