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.
Aku mendapat penglihatan yang lain. Kali ini kulihat empat buah kereta perang keluar dari antara dua gunung perunggu.
2 In the first chariot [are] red horses, and in the second chariot brown horses,
Kereta-kereta itu ditarik oleh pasangan-pasangan kuda, yang pertama kuda merah, yang kedua kuda hitam,
3 and in the third chariot white horses, and in the fourth chariot strong spotted horses.
yang ketiga kuda putih dan yang keempat kuda yang belang.
4 And I answer and say to the messenger who is speaking with me, “What [are] these, my lord?”
Aku bertanya kepada malaikat itu, "Tuan, apa artinya kereta-kereta perang ini?"
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.
Ia menjawab, "Mereka berangkat ke empat jurusan setelah menghadap TUHAN semesta alam.
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;
Kereta perang yang ditarik oleh kuda hitam menuju ke Babel di utara. Kuda putih menuju ke barat dan kuda yang belang menuju ke negara di selatan."
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.
Ketika kuda yang belang itu keluar, mereka tampak tak sabar untuk pergi memeriksa bumi. Malaikat itu berkata, "Pergilah untuk memeriksa bumi!" Lalu pergilah mereka.
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.”
Kemudian malaikat itu berseru kepadaku, "Kuda yang pergi ke Babel itu telah meredakan kemarahan TUHAN."
9 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
TUHAN memberikan pesan ini kepadaku.
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,
Kata-Nya, "Ambillah persembahan yang diberikan oleh Heldai, Tobia dan Yedaya, yaitu orang-orang yang baru kembali dari pembuangan di Babel. Bawalah segera persembahan mereka itu ke rumah Yosia anak Zefanya.
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,
Dari emas dan perak pemberian mereka itu, buatlah sebuah mahkota dan pasanglah pada kepala Imam Agung Yosua anak Yozadak.
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.
Sampaikan kepadanya bahwa Aku TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa berkata, 'Orang yang disebut Sang Tunas, akan berhasil di tempat ia berada dan ia akan membangun kembali Rumah TUHAN.
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.
Dialah yang akan membangun Rumah-Ku dan menerima kehormatan seperti seorang raja, dan ia akan memerintah atas rakyatnya. Seorang imam akan mendampingi dia dan mereka akan bekerja sama dengan rukun.'
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.
Mahkota itu disimpan di Rumah-Ku untuk memperingati Heldai, Tobia, Yedaya, dan Yosia.
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.”
Orang-orang akan datang dari tempat yang jauh dan menolong membangun Rumah-Ku. Kalau pembangunan itu selesai, mereka akan tahu bahwa Aku TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa telah mengutus engkau kepada mereka. Semua itu akan terjadi jika mereka benar-benar mematuhi perintah-perintah-Ku, TUHAN Allah mereka."
