1 E outra vez levantei os meus olhos, e vi, e eis que quatro carros saiam dentre dois montes, e estes montes eram montes de bronze.

2 No primeiro carro eram cavalos vermelhos, e no segundo carro, cavalos pretos,

3 E no terceiro carro, cavalos brancos, e no quarto carro, cavalos malhados, todos eram fortes.

4 E respondi, dizendo ao anjo que falava comigo: Que é isto, senhor meu?

5 E o anjo respondeu, dizendo-me: Estes são os quatro espíritos dos céus, saindo donde estavam perante o Senhor de toda a terra.

6 O carro em que estão os cavalos pretos, sai para a terra do norte, e os brancos saem atrás deles, e os malhados saem para a terra do sul.

7 E os cavalos fortes saíam, e procuravam ir por diante, para percorrerem a terra. E ele disse: Ide, percorrei a terra. E percorreram a terra.

8 E chamou-me, e falou-me, dizendo: Eis que aqueles que saíram para a terra do norte fizeram repousar o meu Espírito na terra do norte.

9 E a palavra do Senhor veio a mim, dizendo:

10 Toma dos que foram levados cativos, a saber, de Heldai, de Tobias e de Jedaías, os quais vieram de babilônia, e vem tu no mesmo dia, e entra na casa de Josias, filho de Sofonias.

11 Toma, digo, prata e ouro, e faze coroas, e põe-nas na cabeça do sumo sacerdote Josué, filho de Jozadaque.

12 E fala-lhe, dizendo: Assim diz o SENHOR dos Exércitos: Eis aqui o homem cujo nome é RENOVO; ele brotará do seu lugar, e edificará o templo do SENHOR.

13 Ele mesmo edificará o templo do Senhor, e ele levará a glória; assentar-se-á no seu trono e dominará, e será sacerdote no seu trono, e conselho de paz haverá entre ambos os ofícios.

14 E estas coroas serão para Helém, e para Tobias, e para Jedaías, e para Hem, filho de Sofonias, como um memorial no templo do Senhor.

15 E aqueles que estão longe virão, e edificarão no templo do Senhor, e vós sabereis que o Senhor dos Exércitos me tem enviado a vós; e isto sucederá assim, se diligentemente ouvirdes a voz do Senhor vosso Deus.

1 And again I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass. 2 In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses; 3 and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grizzled strong horses. 4 Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord? 5 And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four winds of heaven, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth. 6 The chariot wherein are the black horses goeth forth toward the north country; and the white went forth after them; and the grizzled went forth toward the south country. 7 And the strong went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth. 8 Then cried he to me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, they that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.

9 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 10 Take of them 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, whither they are come from Babylon; 11 yea, take of them silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest; 12 and speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh 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 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 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 And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of Jehovah; and ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of Jehovah your God.
