Zechariah 6
1 Then I turned and lifted my eyes and I saw four chariots coming out from between two mountains; and the two mountains were made of bronze.
[第八個神視：四輛馬車]我再舉目觀望，看，有四輛馬車由兩山間出來；這兩座山都是銅山。
2 The first chariot had red horses, the second chariot had black horses,
第一輛車套著栗色的馬，第二輛車套著黑色的馬，
3 the third chariot had white horses, and the fourth chariot had spotted gray horses.
第三輛車套著白色的馬，第四輛車套著雜色的馬，都很雄壯。
4 So I answered and said to the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my master?”
我問那我談話的使者說：「我主，這是什麼意思﹖」
5 The angel answered and said to me, “These are the four winds of heaven that go out from the place where they were standing before the Lord of all the earth.
使者答應我說：「這些是侍立在全地的主宰之前，而今向丌下四出發的：
6 The one with the black horses is going out to the north country; the white horses are going out to the west country; and the spotted gray horses are going out to the south country.”
那套著黑馬的，向北方出發，白馬則跟在後面出發，雜色的向南方出發。」
7 These strong horses went out and sought to go and roam over the earth, so the angel said, “Go and roam over the earth!” and they left for all the earth.
這些雄壯的馬出來，切願在地上往來巡邏。他於是說：「你們去，在地上巡邏吧! 」牠們就在地上巡邏。
8 Then he called out to me and spoke to me and said, “Look at the ones that are going out to the north country; they will appease my spirit concerning the north country.”
以後，他呼喚我，對我說：「你看，向北方出發的，己在北方平息了上主的怒氣。」
9 So the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
上主的話又傳給我說：「
10 “Take an offering from the exiles—from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah—and go this same day and take it into the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah, who has come from Babylon.
你該由歸來者的手中取些禮物，就在今天，到巴比倫回來的責法尼雅的兒子約史的家裏去。
11 Then take the silver and gold, make a crown and set it upon the head of Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest.
你要拿銀子和金子，做一頂冠冕，戴在大司祭約匝達克的兒子耶叔亞的頭上，
12 Speak to him and say, 'Yahweh of hosts says this: This man, his name is Branch! He will grow up where he is and will then build the temple of Yahweh!
然後對他說：萬軍上主這樣 看，有一個人名叫「苗芽」，他自動萌芽，他要建築上主的殿宇。
13 It is he who builds the temple of Yahweh, and he will be clothed with royal splendor, and will sit and rule on his throne. He will be a priest on his throne, and he will bear a counsel of peace between the two.
是要建築上主的殿，是他要承受尊榮，坐在寶座上執政；並且有一位司祭立在他右邊，他們二人之間必和平相處。
14 The crown will given to Heldai, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and for Hen son of Zephaniah as a memorial in the temple of Yahweh.
這頂冠冕要存在上主的殿內，作為赫爾待、托彼雅、耶達雅和責法尼雅的兒子約史雅的記念。
15 Then those who are far off will come and build the temple of Yahweh, so you will know that Yahweh of hosts has sent me to you; for this will happen if you truly listen to the voice of Yahweh your God!'”
遠方的人必來共同建築上主火殿；如此，你們便知道：是萬軍上主派遺了我到你們這裏來。如果你們真聽從上主你們天主的聲音，這事必要實現。」
