1 N ow I lifted up my eyes again and looked, and behold, four chariots were coming forth from between the two mountains; and the mountains were bronze mountains.

De novo levantei os meus olhos, e olhei, e eis quatro carros que saíam dentre dois montes, e estes montes eram montes de bronze.

2 W ith the first chariot were red horses, with the second chariot black horses,

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

3 w ith the third chariot white horses, and with the fourth chariot strong dappled horses.

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

4 T hen I spoke and said to the angel who was speaking with me, “ What are these, my lord?”

Então, dirigindo-me ao anjo que falava comigo, perguntei: Que são estes, meu senhor?

5 T he angel replied to me, “These are the four spirits of heaven, going forth after standing before the Lord of all the earth,

Respondeu-me o anjo: Estes estão saindo aos quatro ventos do céu, depois de se apresentarem perante o Senhor de toda a terra.

6 w ith one of which the black horses are going forth to the north country; and the white ones go forth after them, while the dappled ones go forth to the south country.

O carro em que estão os cavalos pretos sai para a terra do norte, os brancos são para o oeste, e os malhados para a terra do sul;

7 W hen the strong ones went out, they were eager to go to patrol the earth.” And He said, “Go, patrol the earth.” So they patrolled the earth.

e os cavalos baios saíam, e procuravam ir por diante, para percorrerem a terra. E ele disse: Ide, percorrei a terra. E eles a percorriam.

8 T hen He cried out to me and spoke to me saying, “See, those who are going to the land of the north have appeased My wrath in the land of the north.”

Então clamou para mim, dizendo: Eis que aqueles que saíram para a terra do norte fazem repousar na terra do norte o meu Espírito.

9 T he word of the Lord also came to me, saying,

Ainda me veio a palavra do Senhor, dizendo:

10 “ Take an offering from the exiles, from Heldai, Tobijah and Jedaiah; and you go the same day and enter the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, where they have arrived from Babylon. The Symbolic Crowns

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 de Babilônia;

11 T ake silver and gold, make an ornate crown and set it on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest.

recebe, digo, prata e ouro, e faze coroas, e põe-nas na cabeça do sumo sacerdote Josué, filho de Jeozadaque;

12 T hen say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, “Behold, a man whose name is Branch, for He will branch out from where He is; and He will build the temple of the Lord.

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 Y es, it is He who will build the temple of the Lord, and He who will bear the honor and sit and rule on His throne. Thus, He will be a priest on His throne, and the counsel of peace will be between the two offices.”’

Ele mesmo edificará o templo do Senhor; receberá a honra real, assentar-se-á no seu trono, e dominará. E Josué, o sacerdote, ficará ã sua direita; e haverá entre os dois o conselho de paz.

14 N ow the crown will become a reminder in the temple of the Lord to Helem, Tobijah, Jedaiah and Hen the son of Zephaniah.

Essas coroas servirão a Helem, e a Tobias, e a Jedaías, e a Hem, filho de Sofonias, de memorial no templo do Senhor.

15 T hose who are far off will come and build the temple of the Lord.” Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you. And it will take place if you completely obey the Lord your God.

E aqueles que estão longe virão, e ajudarão a edificar o templo do Senhor; e vós sabereis que o Senhor dos exercitos me tem enviado a vós; e isso sucederá, se diligentemente obedecerdes a voz do Senhor vosso Deus.
