< Zacarías 6 >

1 Volví a levantar mis ojos. Miré y vi cuatro carrozas de bronce que salían de entre dos montañas.
And I turned, and I lifted up my eyes and I saw. And behold, four four-horse chariots went out from the middle of 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 were black horses,
3 en la tercera carroza, caballos blancos, y en la cuarta carroza eran caballos overos grisáceos.
and in the third chariot were white horses, and in the fourth chariot were speckled horses, and they were strong.
4 Y dije al ángel que hablaba conmigo: ʼadón mío, ¿qué es esto?
And I responded and said to the angel who was speaking 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 angel answered and said to me, “These are the four winds of heaven, which go forth to stand in the presence of the Sovereign 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 one with the black horses was departing into the land of the North, and the white went forth after them, and the speckled went forth towards the land of the South.
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.
Yet those who were the most strong, went out, and sought to go and to roam quickly through all the earth. And he said, “Go, walk throughout the earth.” And they walked throughout 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.
And he called me and spoke with me, saying, “Behold, those who go forth to the land of the North, have quieted my spirit in the land of the North.”
9 Otra vez tuve revelación de Yavé que decía:
And the word of the Lord 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.
From those of the captivity, take from Heldai, and from Tobijah, and from Jedaiah. You will approach in that day, and you will go into the house of Josiah, the son of Zephaniah, who came 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.
And you will take gold and silver; and you will make crowns, and you will set them on the head of Jesus 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 you will speak to him, saying: Thus says the Lord of hosts, saying: Behold, a man; the Rising is his name. And under him, he will rise up, and he will build a temple to the Lord.
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.
And he will raise a temple to the Lord. And he will carry the glory, and he will sit and rule upon his throne. And he will be a priest upon his throne, and a counsel of peace will be between the two of them.
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 will be to Heldai, and Tobijah, and Jedaiah, as well as to Hem, the son of Zephaniah, as a memorial in the temple of the Lord.
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 away, will approach, and will build in the temple of the Lord. And you will know that the Lord of hosts sent me to you. Yet this shall be only if, when hearing, you will have heeded the voice of the Lord your God.
