Zakarias 6
1 Atter løftede jeg mine Øjne og skuede, og se, fire Vogne kom frem mellem de to Bjerge, og Bjergene var af Kobber.
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 For den første Vogn var der røde Heste, for den anden sorte,
In the first charet were red horses, and in the second charet blacke horses,
3 for den tredje hvide og for den fjerde brogede.
And in the thirde charet white horses, and in the fourth charet, horses of diuers colours, and reddish.
4 Jeg spurgte Engelen, som talte med mig: »Hvad betyder disse, Herre?«
Then I answered, and saide vnto the Angell that talked with mee, What are these, my Lord?
5 Og Engelen svarede: »Det er Himmelens fire Vinde, som drager ud efter at have fremstillet sig for al Jordens Herre.
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 Vognen med de sorte Heste for drager ud til Nordlandet, de hvide til Østlandet og de brogede til Sydlandet;
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 de røde drager mod Vest.« Og de var ivrige efter at komme af Sted for at drage ud over Jorden. Da sagde han: »Af Sted; drag ud over Jorden!« Og de drog ud over Jorden.
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 Saa kaldte han paa mig og talte saaledes til mig: »Se, de, som drager ud til Nordlandet, lader min Aand dale ned over Nordens Land.«
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 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
And the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
10 Tag imod Gaver fra de landflygtige, fra Heldaj, Tobija og Jedaja; endnu i Dag skal du gaa indtil Josjija, Zefanjas Søn, som er kommet fra Babel,
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 og modtage Sølv og Guld. Lad saa lave en Krone og sæt den paa Josuas Hoved
Take euen siluer, and golde, and make crownes, and set them vpon the head of Iehoshua, the sonne of Iehozadak the hie Priest,
12 med de Ord: »Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Se, der kommer en Mand, hvis Navn er Zemak; under ham skal det spire, og han skal bygge HERRENS Helligdom.
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 Han skal bygge HERRENS Helligdom, og han skal vinde Højhed og sidde som Hersker paa sin Trone; og han skal være Præst ved hans højre Side, og der skal være fuld Enighed mellem de to.
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 Men Kronen skal blive i HERRENS Helligdom til Minde om Heldaj, Tobija, Jedaja og Hen, Zefanjas Søn.
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 Langvejsfra skal man komme og bygge paa HERRENS Helligdom; og I skal kende, at Hærskarers HERRE har sendt mig til eder. Og dersom I adlyder HERREN eders Gud — — —
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.
