< 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 I turned, and I lifted up my eyes and I saw. And behold, four four-horse chariots went out from the middle of 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 were 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 were white horses, and in the fourth chariot were speckled horses, and they were strong.
4 E perguntei ao anjo que falava comigo: O que é isto, meu senhor?
And I responded and said to the angel who was speaking 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 to me, “These are the four winds of heaven, which go forth to stand in the presence of the Sovereign 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 one with the black horses was departing into the land of the North, and the white went forth after them, and the speckled went forth towards the land of the South.
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.
Yet those who were the most strong, went out, and sought to go and to roam quickly through all the earth. And he said, “Go, walk throughout the earth.” And they walked throughout 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.
And he called me and spoke with me, saying, “Behold, those who go forth to the land of the North, have quieted my spirit in the land of the North.”
9 E a palavra do SENHOR veio a mim, dizendo:
And the word of the Lord came to 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;
From those of the captivity, take from Heldai, and from Tobijah, and from Jedaiah. You will approach in that day, and you will go into the house of Josiah, the son of Zephaniah, who came from Babylon.
11 Toma prata e ouro, e faze coroas, e põe sobre a cabeça do sumo sacerdote Josué, filho de Jeozadaque;
And you will take gold and silver; and you will make crowns, and you will set them on the head of Jesus 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 you will speak to him, saying: Thus says the Lord of hosts, saying: Behold, a man; the Rising is his name. And under him, he will rise up, and he will build a temple to the Lord.
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.
And he will raise a temple to the Lord. And he will carry the glory, and he will sit and rule upon his throne. And he will be a priest upon his throne, and a counsel of peace will be between the two of them.
14 E as coroas serão para Helem, Tobias, e Jedaías, e Hem, filho de Sofonias, como memorial no templo do SENHOR.
And the crowns will be to Heldai, and Tobijah, and Jedaiah, as well as to Hem, the son of Zephaniah, as a memorial in the temple of the Lord.
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 those who are far away, will approach, and will build in the temple of the Lord. And you will know that the Lord of hosts sent me to you. Yet this shall be only if, when hearing, you will have heeded the voice of the Lord your God.
