Zechariah 6
1 And once again I lifted mine eyes, and looked, and lo! four chariots, coming forward from between two mountains, —now, the mountains, were mountains of copper.
Atter løftede jeg mine Øjne og skuede, og se, fire Vogne kom frem mellem de to Bjerge, og Bjergene var af Kobber.
2 In the first chariot, were red horses, —and, in the second chariot, black horses;
For den første Vogn var der røde Heste, for den anden sorte,
3 and, in the third chariot, white horses, —and, in the fourth chariot, horses spotted, deep red.
for den tredje hvide og for den fjerde brogede.
4 Then began I, and said, unto the messenger who was speaking with me, —What are these, my lord?
Jeg spurgte Engelen, som talte med mig: "Hvad betyder disse Herre?"
5 And the messenger answered, and said unto me, —These, are the four winds of the heavens, coming forward after each hath presented itself near the Lord of all the earth.
Og Engelen svarede: "Det er Himmelens fire Vinde, som drager ud efter at have fremstillet sig for al Jordens Herre.
6 They in whose chariot are the black horses, are going forth into the land of the North, and, the white, have gone forth after them, —and, the spotted, have gone forth into the land of the South;
Vognen med de sorte Heste for drager ud til Nordlandet, de hvide til Østlandet og de brogede til Sydlandet;
7 and, the deep red, have come forward and sought to go their way, that they might journey to and fro in the land, so he said, Go your way, journey to and fro in the land, —and they journeyed to and fro in the land.
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.
8 Then made he outcry beside me, and spake unto me, saying, —See, these who are going forth into the land of the North, have settled my spirit in the land of the North.
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."
9 Then came the word of Yahweh unto me, saying:
HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:
10 Take of them of the exile, of Heldai, and of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, —then shalt, thou thyself, enter, on that day, yea thou shalt enter the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah, [with them] who have come in out of Babylon;
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,
11 yea thou shalt take silver and gold, and make a crown, —and set [it] upon the head of Jehoshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest;
og modtage Sølv og Guld. Lad så lave en Krone og sæt den på Josuas Hoved
12 then shalt thou speak unto him, saying, Thus, speaketh Yahweh of hosts, saying, —Lo! a man! Bud, is his name, and, out of his own place, shall he bud forth, and shall build the temple of Yahweh;
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.
13 Yea, he, shall build the temple of Yahweh, and, he, shall bear the honour, and shall sit and rule upon his throne, —and shall become a priest upon his throne, and, the counsel of peace, shall be between the two of them.
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.
14 But, the crown, shall belong to Heldai and to Tobiah and to Jedaiah, and to Hen son of Zephaniah, —for a memorial in the temple of Yahweh.
Men Kronen skal blive i HERRENs Helligdom til Minde om Heldaj, Tobija, Jedaja og Hen, Zefanjas Søn.
15 And, they who are afar off, shall come in and shall build at the temple of Yahweh, so shall yea know that, Yahweh of hosts, hath sent me unto you, —and it shall come to pass if ye will, indeed hearken, unto the voice of Yahweh your God.
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 - - -
