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.
I looked up again, and [in the vision] I saw four chariots coming toward me. [They were coming] between two mountains [that were made] of bronze.
2 Na primeira carruagem, havia cavalos vermelhos. Na segunda carruagem estavam os cavalos pretos.
The first chariot [was pulled by] red horses, the second chariot [was pulled by] black horses,
3 Na terceira carruagem, os cavalos brancos. Na quarta carruagem estavam os cavalos rabiscados, todos eles poderosos.
the third chariot [was pulled by] white horses, and the fourth chariot [was pulled by] spotted gray horses. They were all very strong horses.
4 Então perguntei ao anjo que falou comigo: “O que são estes, meu senhor?”.
I asked the angel who had been speaking to me, “Sir, what do those chariots mean?”
5 O anjo me respondeu: “Estes são os quatro ventos do céu, que saem de pé diante do Senhor de toda a terra”.
The angel replied, “They have come from standing in the presence of the Lord who controls/rules the entire earth. They will go across the sky in four directions.
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”.
The chariot [pulled by] black horses will go north, the [one pulled by] white horses will go west, the one [pulled by] spotted gray horses will go 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.
When those powerful horses left, their [chariot-drivers] were eager to go throughout the world. [As they were leaving, ] the angel said to them, “Go throughout the world [and see what is happening]!” So that is what they did.
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”.
Then the angel called to me [and said], “Look/Listen, the [drivers of the] chariots that have gone north will do what the Spirit [of Yahweh wants them to do] there.”
9 A palavra de Javé veio a mim, dizendo:
Then Yahweh gave me [another] message.
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.
He said, “Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah will be bringing some silver and gold from the people who were (exiled in/forced to go to) Babylon. As soon as they arrive, go to the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah.
11 Yes, pegue prata e ouro e faça coroas, e coloque-as na cabeça de Josué, filho de Jeozadaque, o sumo sacerdote;
Take [some of that] silver and gold from them and make a crown. Then put it on the head of Jehozadak’s son Joshua, the Supreme 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.
Tell him that [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say that the man who is called the Branch will come. He will leave the place where he is now, and he will [supervise those who] build my temple.
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.
He is the one who [will tell those who] will build my temple [what to do]. He will wear royal clothing and he will sit on his throne and rule. There will also be a priest [sitting] next to his throne, and the two of them will work together harmoniously.
14 As coroas serão para Helem, para Tobias, para Jedaías e para Hen, filho de Sofonias, para um memorial no templo de Yahweh.
The crown must be [kept] in my temple to remind people of what Heldai, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and Josiah [did for them].
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””.
People who are [living] far away will come and [help to] build my temple. When that happens, the people will know that [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, have sent you to them. [That will happen] if they faithfully obey me, Yahweh, your/their God.”
