Zechariah 6
1 And I turn back, and lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, four chariots are coming forth from between two of the mountains, and the mountains [are] mountains of bronze.
Og jeg opløftede atter mine Øjne og saa, og se, fire Vogne, som gik frem imellem de to Bjerge, og Bjergene vare Kobberbjerge.
2 In the first chariot [are] red horses, and in the second chariot brown horses,
For den første Vogn var der røde Heste, og for den anden Vogn sorte Heste,
3 and in the third chariot white horses, and in the fourth chariot strong spotted horses.
og for den tredje Vogn hvide Heste, og for den fjerde Vogn spraglede, stærke Heste.
4 And I answer and say to the messenger who is speaking with me, “What [are] these, my lord?”
Og jeg svarede og sagde til Engelen, som talte med mig: Hvad betyde disse, min Herre?
5 And the messenger answers and says to me, “These [are] four spirits of the heavens coming forth from presenting themselves before the Lord of the whole earth.
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.
6 The brown horses that [are] therein, are coming forth to the land of the north; and the white have come forth to their back part; and the spotted have come forth to the land of the south;
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.
7 and the strong ones have come forth, and they seek to go to walk up and down in the earth”; and he says, “Go, walk up and down in the earth”; and they walk up and down in the earth.
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.
8 And he calls me, and speaks to me, saying, “See, those coming forth to the land of the north have caused My Spirit to rest in the land of the north.”
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.
9 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Og Herrens Ord kom til mig saaledes:
10 “Take of the captivity (who came from Babylon) from Heldai, from Tobijah, and from Jedaiah, and you have come in—you, in that day, indeed, you have come into the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah,
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:
11 and you have taken silver and gold, and have made a crown, and have placed [it] on the head of Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest,
Ja, tag Sølv og Guld, og gør Kroner, og sæt dem paa Ypperstepræsten Josuas, Jozadaks Søns, Hoved;
12 and have spoken to him, saying, Thus spoke YHWH of Hosts, saying, Behold, the Man! A Shoot—[is] His Name, And from His place He shoots up, And He has built the temple of YHWH.
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.
13 Indeed, He builds the temple of YHWH, And He carries away splendor, And He has sat and ruled on His throne, And has been a priest on His throne, And a counsel of peace is between both.
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.
14 And the crown is to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of YHWH.
Og Kronerne skulle være for Kelem og for Tobias og for Jedaja og for Hen, Zefanias's Søn, til en Ihukommelse i Herrens Tempel.
15 And the far-off come in, and they have built in the temple of YHWH, and you have known that YHWH of Hosts has sent me to you, indeed, it has come to pass, if you certainly listen to the voice of your God YHWH.”
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.
