Zechariah 6
1 And again I lifted up my eyes and saw four chariots coming out from between two mountains—mountains of bronze.
我又舉目觀看，見有四輛車從兩山中間出來；那山是銅山。
2 The first chariot had red horses, the second black horses,
第一輛車套着紅馬，第二輛車套着黑馬。
3 the third white horses, and the fourth dappled horses—all of them strong.
第三輛車套着白馬，第四輛車套着有斑點的壯馬。
4 So I inquired of the angel who was speaking with me, “What are these, my lord?”
我就問與我說話的天使說：「主啊，這是甚麼意思？」
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.
天使回答我說：「這是天的四風，是從普天下的主面前出來的。」
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.”
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。
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.
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。
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.”
他又呼叫我說：「看哪，往北方去的已在北方安慰我的心。」
9 The word of the LORD also came to me, saying,
耶和華的話臨到我說：
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，
11 Take silver and gold, make an ornate crown, and set it on the head of the high priest, Joshua son of Jehozadak.
取這金銀做冠冕，戴在約撒答的兒子大祭司約書亞的頭上，
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.
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。
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.’
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。
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。」
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。
