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.
Volví a levantar mis ojos. Miré y vi cuatro carrozas de bronce que salían de entre dos montañas.
2 The first chariot [was pulled by] red horses, the second chariot [was pulled by] black horses,
En la primera carroza los caballos eran bermejos, en la segunda carroza, 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 la tercera carroza, caballos blancos, y en la cuarta carroza eran caballos overos grisáceos.
4 I asked the angel who had been speaking to me, “Sir, what do those chariots mean?”
Y dije al ángel que hablaba conmigo: ʼadón mío, ¿qué es esto?
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.
Y el ángel me respondió: Estos son los cuatro vientos de los cielos, que salen después de presentarse delante del ʼAdón 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 de los caballos negros sale hacia la tierra del Norte, el de los blancos sale tras ellos y el de los overos sale hacia la tierra del Sur.
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.
Los overos que salían estaban impacientes por recorrer la tierra. Y [ʼAdonay] dijo: ¡Vayan, recorran la tierra! Y en efecto, ellos recorrieron la tierra de un lado a otro.
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.”
Luego me habló: Aquí están los que van hacia la tierra del Norte quienes hicieron reposar mi Espíritu en la tierra del Norte.
9 Then Yahweh gave me [another] message.
Otra vez tuve revelación de Yavé que decía:
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 ofrenda de los del cautiverio que regresaron de Babilonia: de Heldai, de Tobías y de Jedaías. El mismo día vé y entra en 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.
Toma la plata y el oro y haz una gran corona. La pondrás en la cabeza de Josué, hijo de Josadac, el sumo sacerdote.
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.
Hablarás de él, y dirás: Yavé de las huestes dice: Aquí está el varón cuyo Nombre es El Renuevo. Brotará de sus raíces y edificará la Casa de Yavé.
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.
Sí, edificará la Casa de Yavé y tendrá la gloria. Se sentará y reinará sobre su trono. Es Sacerdote sobre su trono, y habrá consejo 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].
La gran corona le será un recuerdo a Helem, Tobías, Jedaías y Hen, hijo de Sofonías en la Casa de Yavé.
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.”
Los que están lejos vendrán y edificarán la Casa de Yavé, y sabrán que Yavé de las huestes me envió a ustedes. Así será si diligentemente obedecen la voz de Yavé su ʼElohim.
