Zechariah 6
1 And again I lifted up my eyes and saw four chariots coming out from between two mountains—mountains of bronze.
[第八個神視：四輛馬車]我再舉目觀望，看，有四輛馬車由兩山間出來；這兩座山都是銅山。
2 The first chariot had red horses, the second black horses,
第一輛車套著栗色的馬，第二輛車套著黑色的馬，
3 the third white horses, and the fourth dappled horses—all of them strong.
第三輛車套著白色的馬，第四輛車套著雜色的馬，都很雄壯。
4 So I inquired of the angel who was speaking with me, “What are these, my lord?”
我問那我談話的使者說：「我主，這是什麼意思﹖」
5 And the angel told me, “These are the four spirits of heaven, going forth from their station before the Lord of all the earth.
使者答應我說：「這些是侍立在全地的主宰之前，而今向丌下四出發的：
6 The one with the black horses is going toward the land of the north, the one with the white horses toward the west, and the one with the dappled horses toward the south.”
那套著黑馬的，向北方出發，白馬則跟在後面出發，雜色的向南方出發。」
7 As the strong horses went out, they were eager to go and patrol the earth; and the LORD said, “Go and patrol the earth.” So they patrolled the earth.
這些雄壯的馬出來，切願在地上往來巡邏。他於是說：「你們去，在地上巡邏吧! 」牠們就在地上巡邏。
8 Then the LORD summoned me and said, “Behold, those going to the land of the north have given rest to My Spirit in the land of the north.”
以後，他呼喚我，對我說：「你看，向北方出發的，己在北方平息了上主的怒氣。」
9 The word of the LORD also came to me, saying,
上主的話又傳給我說：「
10 “Take an offering from the exiles—from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, who have arrived from Babylon—and go that same day to the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah.
你該由歸來者的手中取些禮物，就在今天，到巴比倫回來的責法尼雅的兒子約史的家裏去。
11 Take silver and gold, make an ornate crown, and set it on the head of the high priest, Joshua son of Jehozadak.
你要拿銀子和金子，做一頂冠冕，戴在大司祭約匝達克的兒子耶叔亞的頭上，
12 And you are to tell him that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Here is a man whose name is the Branch, and He will branch out from His place and build the temple of the LORD.
然後對他說：萬軍上主這樣 看，有一個人名叫「苗芽」，他自動萌芽，他要建築上主的殿宇。
13 Yes, He will build the temple of the LORD; He will be clothed in splendor and will sit on His throne and rule. And He will be a priest on His throne, and there will be peaceful counsel between the two.’
是要建築上主的殿，是他要承受尊榮，坐在寶座上執政；並且有一位司祭立在他右邊，他們二人之間必和平相處。
14 The crown will reside in the temple of the LORD as a memorial to Helem, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and the gracious son of Zephaniah.
這頂冠冕要存在上主的殿內，作為赫爾待、托彼雅、耶達雅和責法尼雅的兒子約史雅的記念。
15 Even those far away will come and build the temple of the LORD, and you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me to you. This will happen if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.”
遠方的人必來共同建築上主火殿；如此，你們便知道：是萬軍上主派遺了我到你們這裏來。如果你們真聽從上主你們天主的聲音，這事必要實現。」
