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 looked up, and saw four chariots come from between two mountains. The mountains were mountains of bronze.
2 in quadriga prima equi rufi et in quadriga secunda equi nigri
The first chariot had red horses. The second chariot had black horses,
3 et in quadriga tertia equi albi et in quadriga quarta equi varii fortes
the third chariot white horses, and the fourth chariot dappled horses.
4 et respondi et dixi ad angelum qui loquebatur in me quid sunt haec domine mi
Then I said to the messenger 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 messenger answered me, “These are the four winds of heaven going out after standing before the Lord of all the earth.
6 in quo erant equi nigri egrediebantur in terra aquilonis et albi egressi sunt post eos et varii egressi sunt ad terram austri
The black horses are going toward the north country and the white toward the west and the dappled 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 horses came out, and were impatient to patrol the earth. So he said, “Go, patrol the earth,” and they did so.
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 cried out to me, “The horses that went to the north country will quiet my spirit in the north country.”
9 et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens
Now this message of the Lord came to me:
10 sume a transmigratione ab Oldai et a Tobia et ab Idaia et venies tu in die illa et intrabis domum Iosiae filii Sofoniae qui venerunt de Babylone
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 et sumes argentum et aurum et facies coronas et pones in capite Iesu filii Iosedech sacerdotis magni
Take their silver and gold and make a crown and set it on the head of the high priest, Joshua son of Jehozadak.
12 et loqueris ad eum dicens haec ait Dominus exercituum dicens ecce vir Oriens nomen eius et subter eum orietur et aedificabit templum Domino
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 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 duos illos
He will rebuild the temple and will sit and rule upon his throne, receiving the honor due to a king. A priest will stand by his throne and they will work together in peace and harmony.
14 et coronae erunt Helem et Tobiae et Idaiae et Hen filio Sofoniae memoriale in templo Domini
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 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
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.”
