Zechariah 6
1 I looked up again, and [in the vision] I saw four chariots coming toward me. [They were coming] between two mountains [that were made] of bronze.
Alcé de nuevo mis ojos y miré, y he aquí cuatro carros que salían de entre dos montes, y los montes eran montes de bronce.
2 The first chariot [was pulled by] red horses, the second chariot [was pulled by] black horses,
En el primer carro había caballos bermejos; en el segundo, caballos negros;
3 the third chariot [was pulled by] white horses, and the fourth chariot [was pulled by] spotted gray horses. They were all very strong horses.
en el tercero, caballos blancos, y en el cuarto, caballos manchados, vigorosos.
4 I asked the angel who had been speaking to me, “Sir, what do those chariots mean?”
Entonces tomé la palabra y dije al ángel que hablaba conmigo: «¿Qué son estos, señor mío?»
5 The angel replied, “They have come from standing in the presence of the Lord who controls/rules the entire earth. They will go across the sky in four directions.
A lo que respondiendo el ángel me dijo: «Estos son los cuatro vientos del cielo que vienen de la presencia del Señor de toda la tierra».
6 The chariot [pulled by] black horses will go north, the [one pulled by] white horses will go west, the one [pulled by] spotted gray horses will go south.”
El (carro) de los caballos negros se dirige hacia la tierra del Norte; el de los blancos va tras ellos; y el de los manchados sale hacia la tierra del Mediodía.
7 When those powerful horses left, their [chariot-drivers] were eager to go throughout the world. [As they were leaving, ] the angel said to them, “Go throughout the world [and see what is happening]!” So that is what they did.
Y salieron los vigorosos que anhelaban ponerse en marcha para recorrer la tierra. (El ángel les) dijo: «¡Id, recorred la tierra!» Y ellos recorrieron la tierra.
8 Then the angel called to me [and said], “Look/Listen, the [drivers of the] chariots that have gone north will do what the Spirit [of Yahweh wants them to do] there.”
Entonces me llamó, y me habló, diciendo: «Mira, los que van hacia la tierra del Norte han aplacado mi espíritu en la tierra septentrional».
9 Then Yahweh gave me [another] message.
Y me llegó la palabra de Yahvé en estos términos:
10 He said, “Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah will be bringing some silver and gold from the people who were (exiled in/forced to go to) Babylon. As soon as they arrive, go to the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah.
“Toma (las ofrendas) de los del cautiverio: de Holdai, de Tobías y de Idaías que han venido de Babilonia. En aquel mismo día irás y entrarás en la casa de Josías, hijo de Sofonías.
11 Take [some of that] silver and gold from them and make a crown. Then put it on the head of Jehozadak’s son Joshua, the Supreme Priest.
Tomarás la plata y el oro, y harás una corona que pondrás sobre la cabeza del Sumo Sacerdote Jesús, hijo de Josedec;
12 Tell him that [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say that the man who is called the Branch will come. He will leave the place where he is now, and he will [supervise those who] build my temple.
y le hablarás en estos términos: Así dice Yahvé de los ejércitos: He aquí el hombre cuyo nombre es Pimpollo, el cual germinará en su lugar y edificará el Templo de Yahvé.
13 He is the one who [will tell those who] will build my temple [what to do]. He will wear royal clothing and he will sit on his throne and rule. There will also be a priest [sitting] next to his throne, and the two of them will work together harmoniously.
Él edificará el Templo de Yahvé, y será revestido de gloria; y se sentará para reinar sobre su trono. Él será sacerdote sobre su solio, y habrá espíritu de paz entre ambos.
14 The crown must be [kept] in my temple to remind people of what Heldai, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and Josiah [did for them].
Y para Hélem, Tobías, Idaías y Hen, hijo de Sofonías, las coronas servirán de recuerdo (y quedarán) en el Templo de Yahvé.
15 People who are [living] far away will come and [help to] build my temple. When that happens, the people will know that [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, have sent you to them. [That will happen] if they faithfully obey me, Yahweh, your/their God.”
Vendrán los que están en lugares remotos y edificarán el Templo de Yahvé; y conoceréis que Yahvé de los ejércitos me ha enviado a vosotros. Esto sucederá si obedeciereis fielmente la voz de Yahvé, vuestro Dios».”
