1 A lcé de nuevo mis ojos y vi cuatro carros que salían de entre dos montes; y los montes eran montes de bronce.

Now 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.

2 D el primer carro tiraban caballos rojos, del segundo carro caballos negros,

With the first chariot were red horses, with the second chariot black horses,

3 d el tercer carro caballos blancos y del cuarto carro fuertes caballos pintos.

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

4 E ntonces pregunté al ángel que hablaba conmigo: “¿Qué son éstos, señor mío ?”

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

5 Y el ángel me contestó: “Estos son los cuatro vientos del cielo que salen después de presentarse ante el Señor de toda la tierra.

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

6 C on uno de ellos salen los caballos negros hacia la tierra del norte, y los blancos salen tras ellos, mientras los pintos salen hacia la tierra del sur.

with 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.

7 B riosos salían los caballos, impacientes por ir a recorrer la tierra.” Y el ángel dijo: “Vayan, recorran la tierra.” Y recorrieron la tierra.

When 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.

8 E ntonces el ángel me llamó y me dijo: “Mira, los que salen hacia la tierra del norte aplacan Mi espíritu en la tierra del norte.” La Corona Simbólica

Then 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.”

9 Y vino la palabra del Señor a mí:

The word of the Lord also came to me, saying,

10 “ Toma ofrendas de los desterrados, de Heldai, de Tobías y de Jedaías; y el mismo día ve y entra en la casa de Josías, hijo de Sofonías, adonde ellos han llegado de Babilonia.

“ 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

11 T oma plata y oro, haz una corona y pon la en la cabeza del sumo sacerdote Josué, hijo de Josadac.

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

12 Y dile: ‘Así dice el Señor de los ejércitos: “Vendrá un hombre cuyo nombre es Renuevo, porque El brotará del lugar donde está y reedificará el templo del Señor.

Then 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.

13 “ Sí, El reedificará el templo del Señor, y El llevará gloria y se sentará y gobernará en Su trono. Será sacerdote sobre Su trono y habrá consejo de paz entre los dos oficios.”’”

Yes, 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.”’

14 L a corona será para Helem, Tobías, Jedaías y Hen, hijo de Sofonías, como recuerdo en el templo del Señor.

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

15 L os que están lejos vendrán y reedificarán el templo del Señor.” Entonces sabrán que el Señor de los ejércitos me ha enviado a ustedes. Esto sucederá si escuchan obedientes la voz del Señor su Dios.

Those 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.
