1 Outra vez, levantei os olhos e vi, e eis que quatro carros saíam dentre dois montes, e estes montes eram de bronze. 2 No primeiro carro, os cavalos eram vermelhos, no segundo, pretos, 3 no terceiro, brancos e no quarto, baios; todos eram fortes. 4 Então, perguntei ao anjo que falava comigo: que é isto, meu senhor? 5 Respondeu-me o anjo: São os quatro ventos do céu, que saem donde estavam perante o Senhor de toda a terra. 6 O carro em que estão os cavalos pretos sai para a terra do Norte; o dos brancos, após eles; o dos baios, para a terra do Sul. 7 Saem, assim, os cavalos fortes, forcejando por andar avante, para percorrerem a terra. O Senhor lhes disse: Ide, percorrei a terra. E percorriam a terra. 8 E me chamou e me disse: Eis que aqueles que saíram para a terra do Norte fazem repousar o meu Espírito na terra do Norte.

9 A palavra do Senhor veio a mim, dizendo: 10 Recebe dos que foram levados cativos, a saber, de Heldai, de Tobias e de Jedaías, e vem tu no mesmo dia e entra na casa de Josias, filho de Sofonias, para a qual vieram da Babilônia. 11 Recebe, digo, prata e ouro, e faze coroas, e põe-nas na cabeça de Josué, filho de Jozadaque, o sumo sacerdote. 12 E dize-lhe: 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 será revestido de glória; assentar-se-á no seu trono, e dominará, e será sacerdote no seu trono; e reinará perfeita união entre ambos os ofícios. 14 As coroas serão para Helém, para Tobias, para Jedaías e para Hem, filho de Sofonias, como memorial no templo do Senhor. 15 Aqueles que estão longe virão e ajudarão no edificar o templo do Senhor, e sabereis que o Senhor dos Exércitos me enviou a vós outros. Isto sucederá 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.

1 I looked up again, and there before me were four chariots coming out from between two mountains —mountains of bronze.

2 The first chariot had red horses, the second black,

3 the third white, and the fourth dappled —all of them powerful.

4 I asked the angel who was speaking to me, "What are these, my lord?"

5 The angel answered me, "These are the four spirits "of heaven, going out from standing in the presence of the Lord of the whole world.

6 The one with the black horses is going toward the north country, the one with the white horses toward the west, "and the one with the dappled horses toward the south."

7 When the powerful horses went out, they were straining to go throughout the earth. And he said, "Go throughout the earth!" So they went throughout the earth.

8 Then he called to me, "Look, those going toward the north country have given my Spirit "rest in the land of the north."

9 The word of the LORD came to me:

10 "Take silver and gold from the exiles Heldai, Tobijah and Jedaiah, who have arrived from Babylon. Go the same day to the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah.

11 Take the silver and gold and make a crown, and set it on the head of the high priest, Joshua son of Jozadak. [^4]

12 Tell him this is what the LORD Almighty says: 'Here is the man whose name is the Branch, and he will branch out from his place and build the temple of the LORD.

13 It is he who will build the temple of the LORD, and he will be clothed with majesty and will sit and rule on his throne. And he "will be a priest on his throne. And there will be harmony between the two.'

14 The crown will be given to Heldai, "Tobijah, Jedaiah and Hen "son of Zephaniah as a memorial in the temple of the LORD.

15 Those who are far away will come and help to build the temple of the LORD, and you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me to you. This will happen if you diligently obey the LORD your God."
