< 撒迦利亞書 6 >

1 我又舉目觀看,見有四輛車從兩山中間出來;那山是銅山。
Againe, I turned and lift vp mine eyes, and looked: and beholde, there came foure charets out from betweene two mountaines, and the mountaines were mountaines of brasse.
2 第一輛車套着紅馬,第二輛車套着黑馬。
In the first charet were red horses, and in the second charet blacke horses,
3 第三輛車套着白馬,第四輛車套着有斑點的壯馬。
And in the thirde charet white horses, and in the fourth charet, horses of diuers colours, and reddish.
4 我就問與我說話的天使說:「主啊,這是甚麼意思?」
Then I answered, and saide vnto the Angell that talked with mee, What are these, my Lord?
5 天使回答我說:「這是天的四風,是從普天下的主面前出來的。」
And the Angell answered, and sayde vnto mee, These are the foure spirites of the heauen, which goe foorth from standing with the Lord of all the earth.
6 套着黑馬的車往北方去,白馬跟隨在後;有斑點的馬往南方去。
That with the blacke horse went forth into the land of the North, and the white went out after them, and they of diuers colours went forth toward the South countrey.
7 壯馬出來,要在遍地走來走去。天使說:「你們只管在遍地走來走去。」牠們就照樣行了。
And the reddish went out, and required to go, and passe through the world, and he sayde, Goe passe through the worlde. So they went thorowout the world.
8 他又呼叫我說:「看哪,往北方去的已在北方安慰我的心。」
Then cryed hee vpon me, and spake vnto me, saying, Beholde, these that goe towarde the North countrey, haue pacified my spirit in the North countrey.
9 耶和華的話臨到我說:
And the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
10 「你要從被擄之人中取黑玳、多比雅、耶大雅的金銀。這三人是從巴比倫來到西番雅的兒子約西亞的家裏。當日你要進他的家,
Take of them of ye captiuitie, euen of Heldai, and of Tobijah, and Iedaiah, which are come from Babel, and come thou the same day, and goe vnto the house of Ioshiah, the sonne of Zephaniah.
11 取這金銀做冠冕,戴在約撒答的兒子大祭司約書亞的頭上,
Take euen siluer, and golde, and make crownes, and set them vpon the head of Iehoshua, the sonne of Iehozadak the hie Priest,
12 對他說,萬軍之耶和華如此說:看哪,那名稱為大衛苗裔的,他要在本處長起來,並要建造耶和華的殿。
And speake vnto him, saying, Thus speaketh the Lord of hostes, and sayth, Behold the man whose name is the Branch, and he shall growe vp out of his place, and he shall build the Temple of the Lord.
13 他要建造耶和華的殿,並擔負尊榮,坐在位上掌王權;又必在位上作祭司,使兩職之間籌定和平。
Euen hee shall build the Temple of the Lord, and he shall beare the glory, and shall sit and rule vpon his throne, and he shalbe a Priest vpon his throne, and the counsell of peace shall be betweene them both.
14 這冠冕要歸希連、多比雅、耶大雅,和西番雅的兒子賢,放在耶和華的殿裏為記念。」
And the crownes shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Iedaiah, and to Hen the sonne of Zephaniah, for a memoriall in the Temple of the Lord.
15 遠方的人也要來建造耶和華的殿,你們就知道萬軍之耶和華差遣我到你們這裏來。你們若留意聽從耶和華-你們上帝的話,這事必然成就。
And they that are farre off, shall come and build in the Temple of the Lord, and ye shall know, that the Lord of hostes hath sent me vnto you. And this shall come to passe, if ye will obey the voyce of the Lord your God.
