Zakarias 6
1 Og jeg opløftede atter mine Øjne og saa, og se, fire Vogne, som gik frem imellem de to Bjerge, og Bjergene vare Kobberbjerge.
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.
2 For den første Vogn var der røde Heste, og for den anden Vogn sorte Heste,
In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
3 og for den tredje Vogn hvide Heste, og for den fjerde Vogn spraglede, stærke Heste.
And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot spotted and bay horses.
4 Og jeg svarede og sagde til Engelen, som talte med mig: Hvad betyde disse, min Herre?
Then I answered and said to the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord?
5 Og Engelen svarede og sagde til mig: Disse ere de fire Vejr under Himmelen, som gaa ud, efter at de have stillet sig frem for al Jordens Herre.
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.
6 Hvad angaar Vognen med de sorte Heste for, da gaa de ud imod Nordens Land og de hvide ere gangne ud bag efter dem, og de spraglede ere gangne ud imod Sydens Land.
The black horses which are therein go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the spotted go forth toward the south country.
7 Og de stærke ere gangne ud, men de begærede at gaa hen for at vandre Jorden rundt, og han sagde: Gaar, vandrer Jorden rundt; saa vandrede de Jorden rundt.
And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.
8 Da raabte han til mig og talte til mig og sagde: Se, de, som udgaa imod Nordens Land, bringe min Aand til at hvile i Nordens Land.
Then cried he on me, and spoke to me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.
9 Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
10 Tag af de bortførte, nemlig af Keldaj, af Tobias og Jedaja, og gaa du paa denne Dag, ja, gaa ind i Josias's, Zefanias's Søns, Hus, hvorhen de ere komne fra Babel:
Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which are come from Babylon, and come you the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah;
11 Ja, tag Sølv og Guld, og gør Kroner, og sæt dem paa Ypperstepræsten Josuas, Jozadaks Søns, Hoved;
Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them on the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest;
12 og sig til ham: Saa siger den Herre Zebaoth: Se, en Mand, Zemak er hans Navn; og fra sit Sted skal han skyde frem, og han skal bygge Herrens Tempel.
And speak to him, saying, Thus speaks 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:
13 Ja, han skal bygge Herrens Tempel, og han skal bære Kongeherlighed, og han skal sidde og herske paa sin Trone, og han skal være Præst paa sin Trone, og der skal være Freds Raad imellem dem begge.
Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; 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 Og Kronerne skulle være for Kelem og for Tobias og for Jedaja og for Hen, Zefanias's Søn, til en Ihukommelse i Herrens Tempel.
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.
15 Og fjerne Folk skulle komme og bygge paa Herrens Tempel, og I skulle fornemme, at den Herre Zebaoth har sendt mig til eder; og dette skal ske, dersom I flittigt ville høre Herren eders Guds Røst.
And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you. And this shall come to pass, if you will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.
