Zechariah 6
1 And I returned and I lifted up eyes my and I saw and there! four chariots [were] coming forth from between [the] two the mountains and the mountains [were] mountains of bronze.
Again I looked up, and saw four chariots come from between two mountains. The mountains were mountains of bronze.
2 [were] with the Chariot first horses red and [were] with the chariot second horses black.
The first chariot had red horses. The second chariot had black horses,
3 And [were] with the chariot third horses white and [were] with the chariot fourth horses dappled strong.
the third chariot white horses, and the fourth chariot dappled horses.
4 And I answered and I said to the angel who was speaking with me what? [are] these O lord my.
Then I said to the messenger who talked with me, ‘What are these, my lord?’
5 And he answered the angel and he said to me these [are] [the] four [the] winds of the heavens going forth from when presented themselves on [the] lord of all the earth.
The messenger answered me, ‘These are the four winds of heaven going out after standing before the Lord of all the earth.
6 Which with it the horses black [are] going out to [the] land of [the] north and the white [horses] they have gone out to after them and the dappled [horses] they have gone out to [the] land of the south.
The black horses are going toward the north country and the white toward the west and the dappled toward the south country.’
7 And the strong [horses] they have gone out and they have sought to go to go about on the earth and he said go go about on the earth and they went about on the earth.
The strong horses came out, and were impatient to patrol the earth. So he said, ‘Go, patrol the earth,’ and they did so.
8 And he called out to with me and he spoke to me saying see those [which] are going out to [the] land of [the] north they have caused to rest spirit my in [the] land of [the] north.
Then he cried out to me, ‘The horses that went to the north country will quiet my spirit in the north country.’
9 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Now this message of the Lord came to me:
10 Take from with the exile[s] from Heldai and from with Tobiah and from with Jedaiah and you will go you on the day that and you will go [the] house Josiah [the] son of Zephaniah who they have come from Babylon.
Take the gifts from the exiles Heldai, Tobijah and Jedaiah who have come from Babylon and go at once to Josiah the son of Zephaniah.
11 And you will take silver and gold and you will make a crown and you will put [it] on [the] head of Joshua [the] son of Jehozadak the priest great.
Take their silver and gold and make a crown and set it on the head of the high priest, Joshua son of Jehozadak.
12 And you will say to him saying thus he says Yahweh of hosts saying there! a man [is] Branch name his and from under him he will sprout and he will build [the] temple of Yahweh.
Tell him: ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold, the man whose name is the Branch. He will branch out from his place and rebuild the temple of the Lord.
13 And he he will build [the] temple of Yahweh and he he will bear majesty and he will sit and he will rule on throne his and he will be a priest on throne his and a counsel of peace it will be between [the] two of them.
He will rebuild the temple and will sit and rule upon his throne, receiving the honour due to a king. A priest will stand by his throne and they will work together in peace and harmony.
14 And the crown it will be to Helem and to Tobiah and to Jedaiah and to Hen [the] son of Zephaniah to a memorial in [the] temple of Yahweh.
The crown will be a memorial in the temple of the Lord for Heldai and Tobijah and Jedaiah, and Josiah the son of Zephaniah.
15 And distant [ones] - they will come and they will build [the] temple of Yahweh and you will know that Yahweh of hosts he has sent me to you and it will be certainly [if] you will listen! to [the] voice of Yahweh God your.
People from far away will come and build in 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.’
