< Zacarias 6 >

1 Novamente levantei os olhos, e vi, e eis que quatro carruagens saíram de entre duas montanhas; e as montanhas eram montanhas de bronze.
And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, four chariots coming out from between two mountains; and the mountains were brazen mountains.
2 Na primeira carruagem, havia cavalos vermelhos. Na segunda carruagem estavam os cavalos pretos.
In the first chariot [were] red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
3 Na terceira carruagem, os cavalos brancos. Na quarta carruagem estavam os cavalos rabiscados, todos eles poderosos.
and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot piebald [and] ash-coloured horses.
4 Então perguntei ao anjo que falou comigo: “O que são estes, meu senhor?”.
And I answered and said to the angel that talked with me, What are these, my Lord?
5 O anjo me respondeu: “Estes são os quatro ventos do céu, que saem de pé diante do Senhor de toda a terra”.
And the angel that talked with me answered and said, These are the four winds of heaven, [and] they are going forth to stand before the Lord of all the earth.
6 O dos cavalos negros sai em direção ao país do norte; e os brancos saem atrás deles; e os rabiscados saem em direção ao país do sul”.
[As for the chariot] in which were the black horses, they went out to the land of the north; and the white went out after them; and the piebald went out to the land of the south.
7 Os fortes saíram, e procuraram ir para que pudessem caminhar para frente e para trás através da terra. Ele disse: “Dêem a volta e atravessem a terra!” Então eles andaram para frente e para trás através da terra.
And the ash-coloured went out, and looked to go and compass the earth: and he said, Go, and compass the earth. And they compassed the earth.
8 Então ele me chamou, e falou comigo, dizendo: “Eis que aqueles que vão em direção ao país do norte acalmaram meu espírito no país do norte”.
And he cried out and spoke to me, saying, Behold, these go out to the land of the north, and they have quieted mine anger in the land of the north.
9 A palavra de Javé veio a mim, dizendo:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
10 “Tomai deles do cativeiro, até mesmo de Heldai, de Tobias e de Jedaías; e vinde no mesmo dia, e entrei na casa de Josias, filho de Sofonias, de onde vieram da Babilônia.
Take the things of the captivity from the chief men, and from the useful men of it, and from them that have understood it; and thou shalt enter in that day into the house of Josias the son of Sophonias that came out of Babylon.
11 Yes, pegue prata e ouro e faça coroas, e coloque-as na cabeça de Josué, filho de Jeozadaque, o sumo sacerdote;
And thou shalt take silver and gold, and make crowns, and thou shalt put [them] upon the head of Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest;
12 e fale com ele, dizendo: 'Javé dos Exércitos diz: “Eis o homem cujo nome é o Ramo! Ele crescerá fora de seu lugar; e construirá o templo de Yahweh.
and thou shalt say to him, Thus saith the Lord Almighty; Behold the man whose name is The Branch; and he shall spring up from his stem, and build the house of the Lord.
13 Ele construirá o templo de Yahweh. Ele carregará a glória, e se sentará e reinará em seu trono. Ele será um sacerdote em seu trono. O conselho de paz será entre os dois.
And he shall receive power, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and there shall be a priest on his right hand, and a peaceable counsel shall be between [them] both.
14 As coroas serão para Helem, para Tobias, para Jedaías e para Hen, filho de Sofonias, para um memorial no templo de Yahweh.
And the crown shall be to them that wait patiently, and to the useful men of the captivity, and to them that have known it, and for the favour of the son of Sophonias, and for a psalm in the house of the Lord.
15 Aqueles que estão longe virão e construirão no templo de Iavé; e você saberá que Iavé dos Exércitos me enviou a você. Isto acontecerá, se obedecerdes diligentemente à voz de Iavé vosso Deus””.
And they [that are] far from them shall come and build in the house of the Lord, and ye shall know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you: and [this] shall come to pass, if ye will diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord your God.
