< Zacarias 6 >

1 E outra vez levantei meus olhos, e vi, e eis que quatro carruagens saíram dentre dois montes, e estes montes eram montes de bronze.
And again I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.
2 Na primeira carruagem havia cavalos vermelhos, e na segunda carruagem cavalos pretos,
In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
3 E na terceira carruagem cavalos brancos, e na quarto carruagem cavalos malhados. E [os cavalos] eram fortes.
and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grizzled strong horses.
4 E perguntei ao anjo que falava comigo: O que é isto, meu senhor?
Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord?
5 E o anjo me respondeu: Estes são os quatro espíritos dos céus, que saem de onde estavam diante do Senhor de toda a terra.
And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four winds of heaven, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
6 A [carruagem] em que estão os cavalos pretos vai para a terra do norte; os brancos vão atrás deles, e os malhados vão para a terra do sul.
[The chariot] wherein are the black horses goeth forth toward the north country; and the white went forth after them; and the grizzled went forth toward the south country.
7 E os fortes [cavalos] saíram, e procuraram ir a andarem pela terra. E ele disse: Ide, andai pela terra. E eles andaram pela terra.
And the strong went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.
8 E ele me chamou, e falou comigo, dizendo: Eis que aqueles que foram para a terra do norte fizeram descansar meu Espírito na terra do norte.
Then cried he to me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, they that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.
9 E a palavra do SENHOR veio a mim, dizendo:
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
10 Toma dos que foram levados cativos: Heldai, e de Tobias, e de Jedaías, que voltaram da Babilônia; e naquele mesmo dia vem, e entra na casa de Josias, filho de Sofonias;
Take of them 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, whither they are come from Babylon;
11 Toma prata e ouro, e faze coroas, e põe sobre a cabeça do sumo sacerdote Josué, filho de Jeozadaque;
yea, take [of them] silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest;
12 E fala com ele, dizendo: Assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos: Eis aqui o homem cujo nome é Renovo; ele brotará de seu lugar, e edificará o templo do SENHOR;
and speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh 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 Ele mesmo edificará o templo do SENHOR, e levará sobre si majestade; e se sentará e dominará em seu trono, e será sacerdote em seu trono; e haverá conselho de paz entre 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 as coroas serão para Helem, Tobias, e Jedaías, e Hem, filho de Sofonias, como 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 os que estão longe virão e participarão da construção do templo do SENHOR, e vós sabereis que o SENHOR dos exércitos me enviou a vós. Isto acontecerá se verdadeiramente ouvirdes à voz do SENHOR vosso Deus.
And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of Jehovah; and ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto you. And [this] shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of Jehovah your God.
