< 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 my eyes, and saw: and behold four chariots came out from the midst of two mountains: and the mountains were mountains of brass.
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 grisled horses, and strong ones.
4 Então perguntei ao anjo que falou comigo: “O que são estes, meu senhor?”.
And I answered, and said to the angel that spoke in 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 answered, and said to me: These are the four winds of the heaven, which go 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”.
That in which were the black horses went forth into the land of the north, and the white went forth after them: and the grisled went forth 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 they that were most strong, went out, and sought to go, and to run to and fro through all the earth. And he said: Go, walk throughout the earth: and they walked throughout 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 called me, and spoke to me, saying: Behold they that go forth into the land of the north, have quieted my spirit 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 of them of the captivity, of Holdai, and of Tobias, and of Idaias; thou shalt come in that day, and shalt go into the house of Josias, the son of Sophonias, who 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 gold and silver: and shalt make crowns, and thou shalt set them on 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 speak to him, saying: Thus saith the Lord of hosts, saying: BEHOLD A MAN, THE ORIENT IS HIS NAME: and under him shall he spring up, and shall build a temple to 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.
Yea, he shall build a temple to the Lord: 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 As coroas serão para Helem, para Tobias, para Jedaías e para Hen, filho de Sofonias, para um memorial no templo de Yahweh.
And the crowns shall be to Helem, and Tobias, and Idaias, and to Hem, the son of Sophonias, a memorial in the temple 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 off, shall come and shall build in the temple of the Lord: and you shall know that the Lord of hosts sent me to you. But this shall come to pass, if hearing you will hear the voice of the Lord your God.
