< Zacarías 6 >

1 Volví a levantar mis ojos. Miré y vi cuatro carrozas de bronce que salían de entre dos montañas.
And again I lifted up my eyes, and looked. And, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains, and the mountains were mountains of brass.
2 En la primera carroza los caballos eran bermejos, en la segunda carroza, caballos negros,
In the first chariot were red horses, and in the second chariot black horses,
3 en la tercera carroza, caballos blancos, y en la cuarta carroza eran caballos overos grisáceos.
and in the third chariot white horses, and in the fourth chariot strong grizzled horses.
4 Y dije al ángel que hablaba conmigo: ʼadón mío, ¿qué es esto?
Then I answered and said to the agent who talked with me, What are these, my lord?
5 Y el ángel me respondió: Estos son los cuatro vientos de los cielos, que salen después de presentarse delante del ʼAdón de toda la tierra.
And the agent answered and said to me, These are the four winds of heaven, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
6 El de los caballos negros sale hacia la tierra del Norte, el de los blancos sale tras ellos y el de los overos sale hacia la tierra del Sur.
The chariot in which are the black horses goes forth toward the north country, and the white went forth after them, and the grizzled went forth toward the south country.
7 Los overos que salían estaban impacientes por recorrer la tierra. Y [ʼAdonay] dijo: ¡Vayan, recorran la tierra! Y en efecto, ellos recorrieron la tierra de un lado a otro.
And the strong ones went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth. And he said, Get you from here. Walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.
8 Luego me habló: Aquí están los que van hacia la tierra del Norte quienes hicieron reposar mi Espíritu en la tierra del Norte.
Then he cried to me, and spoke to me, saying, Behold, those who go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.
9 Otra vez tuve revelación de Yavé que decía:
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
10 Toma ofrenda de los del cautiverio que regresaron de Babilonia: de Heldai, de Tobías y de Jedaías. El mismo día vé y entra en casa de Josías, hijo de Sofonías.
Take from those of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, where they have come from Babylon.
11 Toma la plata y el oro y haz una gran corona. La pondrás en la cabeza de Josué, hijo de Josadac, el sumo sacerdote.
Yea, take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest.
12 Hablarás de él, y dirás: Yavé de las huestes dice: Aquí está el varón cuyo Nombre es El Renuevo. Brotará de sus raíces y edificará la Casa de Yavé.
And speak to him, saying, Thus speaks Jehovah of hosts, saying, Behold, the man whose name is the Branch. And he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of Jehovah,
13 Sí, edificará la Casa de Yavé y tendrá la gloria. Se sentará y reinará sobre su trono. Es Sacerdote sobre su trono, y habrá consejo de paz entre ambos.
even he shall build the temple of Jehovah. 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 La gran corona le será un recuerdo a Helem, Tobías, Jedaías y Hen, hijo de Sofonías en la Casa de Yavé.
And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of Jehovah.
15 Los que están lejos vendrán y edificarán la Casa de Yavé, y sabrán que Yavé de las huestes me envió a ustedes. Así será si diligentemente obedecen la voz de Yavé su ʼElohim.
And those who are far off shall come and build in the temple of Jehovah. And ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts has sent me to you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of Jehovah your God.
