< Zaccharias Propheta 6 >

1 Et conversus sum, et levavi oculos meos, et vidi: et ecce quattuor quadrigae egredientes de medio duorum montium: et montes, montes aerei.
Again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of bronze.
2 In quadriga prima equi rufi, et in quadriga secunda equi nigri,
In the first chariot were red horses. In the second chariot were black horses.
3 et in quadriga tertia equi albi, et in quadriga quarta equi varii, et fortes.
In the third chariot were white horses. In the fourth chariot were dappled horses, all of them powerful.
4 Et respondi, et dixi ad angelum, qui loquebatur in me: Quid sunt haec, domine mi?
Then I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?”
5 Et respondit angelus, et ait ad me: Isti sunt quattuor venti caeli, qui egrediuntur ut stent coram Dominatore omnis terrae.
The angel answered me, “These are the four winds of the sky, which go out from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
6 In qua erant equi nigri, egrediebantur in terram Aquilonis: et albi egressi sunt post eos: et varii egressi sunt ad terram Austri.
The one with the black horses goes out toward the north country; and the white went out after them; and the dappled went out toward the south country.”
7 Qui autem erant robustissimi, exierunt, et quaerebant ire, et discurrere per omnem terram. Et dixit: Ite, perambulate terram. et perambulaverunt terram.
The strong went out, and sought to go that they might walk back and forth through the earth. He said, “Go around and through the earth!” So they walked back and forth through the earth.
8 Et vocavit me, et locutus est ad me, dicens: Ecce qui egrediuntur in terram Aquilonis, requiescere fecerunt spiritum meum in terra Aquilonis.
Then he called to me, and spoke to me, saying, “Behold, those who go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.”
9 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
10 Sume a transmigratione ab Holdai, et a Tobia, et ab Idaia; et venies tu in die illa, et intrabis domum Iosiae, filii Sophoniae, qui venerunt de Babylone.
“Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah; and come the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, where they have come from Babylon.
11 Et sumes aurum, et argentum: et facies coronas, et pones in capite Iesu filii Iosedech sacerdotis magni,
Yes, take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest;
12 et loqueris ad eum, dicens: Haec ait Dominus exercituum, dicens: ECCE VIR ORIENS NOMEN EIUS: et subter eum orietur, et aedificabit templum Domino.
and speak to him, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies says, “Behold, the man whose name is the Branch! He will grow up out of his place; and he will build Yahweh’s temple.
13 Et ipse extruet templum Domino: et ipse portabit gloriam, et sedebit, et dominabitur super solio suo: et erit sacerdos super solio suo, et consilium pacis erit inter illos duos.
He will build Yahweh’s temple. He will bear the glory, and will sit and rule on his throne. He will be a priest on his throne. The counsel of peace will be between them both.
14 Et coronae erunt Helem, et Tobiae, et Idaiae, et Hem, filio Sophoniae, memoriale in templo Domini.
The crowns shall be to Helem, to Tobijah, to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in Yahweh’s temple.
15 Et qui procul sunt, venient, et aedificabunt in templo Domini: et scietis quia Dominus exercituum misit me ad vos. Erit autem hoc, si auditu audieritis vocem Domini Dei vestri.
Those who are far off shall come and build in Yahweh’s temple; and you shall know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you. This will happen, if you will diligently obey Yahweh your God’s voice.”’”
