1 De novo levantei os meus olhos, e vi: eis que quatro carros saíam dentre dois montes, e os montes eram de cobre.

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

3 no terceiro carro cavalos brancos, e no quarto carro cavalos baios com malhas.

4 Então falei e perguntei ao anjo que falava comigo: Que são estes, meu senhor?

5 Respondeu-me o anjo: Estes são os quatro ventos do céu, que saem de assistirem diante do Senhor de toda a terra.

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

7 Saíram os baios, e procuravam andar para percorrer a terra. Ele disse: Ide, andai pela terra. Andaram, pois, pela terra.

8 Então me clamou a mim, e me disse: Eis que aqueles que saem para a terra do norte fizeram repousar na terra do norte o meu espírito.

9 A palavra de Jeová veio a mim, dizendo:

10 Recebe da mão dos do cativeiro, 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 de Babilônia;

11 recebe deles ouro e prata, e faze coroas, e põe-nas na cabeça do sumo sacerdote Josué, filho de Jeozadaque.

12 Fala-lhe: Assim diz Jeová dos exércitos: Eis o homem cujo nome é o Renovo; brotará do seu lugar, e edificará o templo de Jeová.

13 Ele edificará o templo de Jeová; levará a glória, e se assentará e dominará no seu trono; será sacerdote sobre o seu trono: e haverá entre os dois o conselho de paz.

14 As coroas servirão a Helém, e a Tobias, e a Jedaías, e a Hem, filho de Sofonias, de memorial no templo de Jeová.

15 Aqueles que estão longe virão, e edificarão no templo de Jeová, e sabereis que Jeová dos exércitos me enviou a vós. Isto sucederá, se diligentemente obedecerdes à voz de Jeová vosso Deus.

1 And again lifting up my eyes I saw four war-carriages coming out from between the two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.

2 In the first war-carriage were red horses; and in the second, black horses;

3 And in the third, white horses; and in the fourth, horses of mixed colour.

4 And I made answer and said to the angel who was talking to me, What are these, my lord?

5 And the angel, answering, said to me, These go out to the four winds of heaven from their place before the Lord of all the earth.

6 The carriage in which are the black horses goes in the direction of the north country; the white go to the west; and those of mixed colour go in the direction of the south country.

7 And the red ones go to the east; and they made request that they might go up and down through the earth: and he said, Go up and down through the earth. So they went up and down through the earth.

8 Then crying out to me, he said, See, those who are going to the north country have given rest to the spirit of the Lord in the north country.

9 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

10 Take the offerings of those who went away as prisoners, from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, and from the family of Josiah, the son of Zephaniah, who have come from Babylon;

11 And take silver and gold and make a crown and put it on the head of Zerubbabel;

12 And say to him, These are the words of the Lord of armies: See, the man whose name is the Branch, under whom there will be fertile growth.

13 And he will be the builder of the Temple of the Lord; and the glory will be his, and he will take his place as ruler on the seat of power; and Joshua will be a priest at his right hand, and between them there will be a design of peace.

14 And the crown will be for grace to Heldai and Tobijah and Jedaiah and the son of Zephaniah, to keep their memory living in the house of the Lord.

15 And those who are far away will come and be builders in the Temple of the Lord, and it will be clear to you that the Lord of armies has sent me to you.
