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.
Then I looked again and I saw four chariots coming out from between two mountains that looked like bronze.
2 No primeiro carro eram cavallos vermelhos, e no segundo carro cavallos pretos,
The first chariot was pulled by red horses, the second by black horses,
3 E no terceiro carro cavallos brancos, e no quarto carro cavallos saraivados, que eram fortes.
the third by white horses, and the fourth by dappled grey horses—all of them strong horses.
4 E respondi, e disse ao anjo que fallava comigo: Que é isto, Senhor meu?
“My lord, what are these?” I asked the angel I was talking to.
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.
“They are going out to the four winds of heaven, after presenting themselves to the Lord of all the earth,” the angel explained.
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 with the black horses went north, the one with the white horses went west, and the one with the dappled grey horses went south.
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.
When the strong horses came out they were eager to set off to patrol the earth. And he said, “Go and patrol the earth!” So they left and patrolled 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 the angel called to me, saying, “Look! Those who went north have achieved what the Lord wanted in the land of the north.”
9 E a palavra do Senhor veiu a mim, dizendo:
Then the Lord gave me another message:
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 the gifts brought by Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, the exiles returning from Babylon, and go immediately to the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah.
11 Toma, digo, prata e oiro, e faze corôas, e põe-as na cabeça de Josué, filho de Josadac, summo sacerdote.
Use the silver and the gold they brought to make a crown, and place it on the head of Josiah, 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.
Tell him this is what the Lord Almighty says: Look! The man who is called the Branch will grow from where he is and will build the Lord's Temple.
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.
He is the one who will build the Lord's Temple, and he will be the one given the honor to rule from both the royal throne and the priestly throne and there will be peace and understanding between the two roles.
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.
The crown will be kept in the Temple of the Lord as a memorial to Heldai, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and Joshua the son of Zephaniah.
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.
People who live in distant lands will come and build the Temple of the Lord, and you will know that the Lord Almighty sent me to you. This will happen if you listen attentively to what the Lord tells you.
