< Zacarias 6 >

1 E outra vez levantei os meus olhos, e olhei, e eis que vi quatro carros que sairam d'entre dois montes, e estes montes eram montes de metal.
And again I lifted up my eyes, and looked. And, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains, and the mountains were mountains of brass.
2 No primeiro carro eram cavallos vermelhos, e no segundo carro cavallos pretos,
In the first chariot were red horses, and in the second chariot black horses,
3 E no terceiro carro cavallos brancos, e no quarto carro cavallos saraivados, que eram fortes.
and in the third chariot white horses, and in the fourth chariot strong grizzled horses.
4 E respondi, e disse ao anjo que fallava comigo: Que é isto, Senhor meu?
Then I answered and said to the agent who talked with me, What are these, my lord?
5 E o anjo respondeu, e me disse: Estes são os quatro ventos do céu, saindo d'onde estavam perante o Senhor de toda a terra.
And the agent answered and said to me, These are the four winds of heaven, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
6 O carro em que estão os cavallos pretos, sae para a terra do norte, e os brancos saem atraz d'elles, e os saraivados saem para a terra do sul.
The chariot in which are the black horses goes forth toward the north country, and the white went forth after them, and the grizzled went forth toward the south country.
7 E os cavallos fortes sahiam, e procuravam ir por diante, para andarem pela terra. E elle disse: Ide, andae pela terra. E andavam pela terra.
And the strong ones went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth. And he said, Get you from here. Walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.
8 E me chamou, e me fallou, dizendo: Eis que aquelles que sairam para a terra do norte fizeram repousar o meu Espirito na terra do norte.
Then he cried to me, and spoke to me, saying, Behold, those who go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.
9 E a palavra do Senhor veiu a mim, dizendo:
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
10 Toma dos que foram levados captivos: de Heldai, de Tobias, e de Jedaia (e vem n'aquelle dia, e entra na casa de Josias, filho de Sofonias), os quaes vieram de Babylonia.
Take from those of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, where they have come from Babylon.
11 Toma, digo, prata e oiro, e faze corôas, e põe-as na cabeça de Josué, filho de Josadac, summo sacerdote.
Yea, take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest.
12 E falla-lhe, dizendo: Assim falla o Senhor dos Exercitos, dizendo: Eis aqui o homem cujo nome é o Renovo que brotará do seu logar, e edificará o templo do Senhor.
And speak to him, saying, Thus speaks Jehovah of hosts, saying, Behold, the man whose name is the Branch. And he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of Jehovah,
13 Elle mesmo edificará o templo do Senhor, e levará elle a gloria, e assentar-se-ha, e dominará no seu throno, e será sacerdote no seu throno, e conselho de paz haverá entre elles ambos.
even he shall build the temple of Jehovah. And he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne. And he shall be a priest upon his throne, and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
14 E estas corôas serão de Helem, e de Tobias, e de Jedaia, e de Chen, filho de Sofonias, por memorial no templo do Senhor.
And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of Jehovah.
15 E aquelles que estão longe virão, e edificarão no templo do Senhor, e vós sabereis que o Senhor dos Exercitos me tem enviado a vós; e isto acontecerá assim, se ouvirdes mui attentos a voz do Senhor vosso Deus.
And those who are far off shall come and build in the temple of Jehovah. And ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts has sent me to you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of Jehovah your God.
