< 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 again lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold, there came out four chariots from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of copper.
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, ash-colored horses.
4 E perguntei ao anjo que falava comigo: O que é isto, meu senhor?
And I began and said unto the angel that spoke 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 spirits of the heavens, which go forth after having stood 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] on which are black horses—these go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grizzled go 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 red-colored were gone forth, and sought to traverse the earth: and he said, Go, traverse the earth. So they traversed 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 loudly unto me, and spoke unto me, saying, Behold, these that are going toward the north country, have quieted [the indignation of] my spirit in the north country.
9 E a palavra do SENHOR veio a mim, dizendo:
And the word of the Lord 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 from the exiles, from Cheldai, from Tobiyahu, and from Yeda'yah, and thou shalt come on the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephanyah, whither they have arrived from Babylon;
11 Toma prata e ouro, e faze coroas, e põe sobre a cabeça do sumo sacerdote Josué, filho de Jeozadaque;
Take also 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 thou shalt say unto him as followeth, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, saying, Behold a man, Sprout is his name; since out of his own place shall he sprout up, even he shall build the temple of 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.
Yea, he shall build the temple of the Lord; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and a priest shall be upon his own throne; and the counsel of peace shall be between both 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 shall be for Chelem, and for Tobiyah, and for Yeda'yah, and for Chen the son of Zephanyah, 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 distant ones shall come and build on the temple of the Lord, and ye shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord your God.
