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.
And I lifted up mine eyes again, 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, for den anden sorte,
In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot, black horses;
3 for den tredje hvide og for den fjerde brogede.
and in the third chariot, white horses; and in the fourth chariot, spotted-red horses.
4 Jeg spurgte Engelen, som talte med mig: "Hvad betyder disse Herre?"
Then I spake, and said to the angel that talked with me, 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 angel answered and said to me, These are the four Winds of heaven, which go forth from standing before 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;
The black horses, which are thereto, go forth into the north country, and the white go forth after them; and the spotted go forth into the south country.
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 red ones went forth, and sought to go, even to walk to and fro through the earth. And he said, Go, walk ye to and fro through the earth! So they walked to and fro through the earth.
8 Så kaldte han på mig og talte således til mig: "Se, de, som drager ud til Nordlandet, lader min Ånd dale ned over Nordens Land."
Then he cried to me, and spake to me, saying, Behold, these that go forth toward the land of the North shall execute my wrath against the land of the North.
9 HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
10 Tag imod Gaver fra de landflygtige, fra Heldaj, Tobija og Jedaja; endnu i Dag skal du gå indtil Josjija, Zefanjas Søn, som er kommet fra Babel,
Take from those of the captivity, from Heldai, from Tobijah, and from Jedaiah, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah, the son of Zephaniah, whither they are come from Babylon;
11 og modtage Sølv og Guld. Lad så lave en Krone og sæt den på Josuas Hoved
take from them silver and gold, and make a crown, and set it upon the head of Joshua, the son of Josedech, the high-priest,
12 med de Ord: "Så siger Hærskarers HERRE: Se, der kommer en Mand, hvis Navn er Zemak under ham skal det spire, og han skal bygge HERRENs Helligdom.
and speak to him, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: — Behold a man whose name is the Branch, He shall spring up from his place, And he shall build the temple of Jehovah.
13 Han skal bygge HERRENs Helligdom, og han skal vinde Højhed og sidde som Hersker på sin Trone: og han skal være Præst ved hans højre Side, og der skal være fuld Enighed mellem de to.
He shall build the temple of Jehovah, And he shall bear the majesty, And sit and rule upon his throne, And be a priest upon his throne, And the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
14 Men Kronen skal blive i HERRENs Helligdom til Minde om Heldaj, Tobija, Jedaja og Hen, Zefanjas Søn.
And the crown shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen, the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of Jehovah.
15 Langvejs fra skal man komme og bygge på 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 far off shall come and build in the temple of Jehovah; and ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me to you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of Jehovah, your God.
