1 O lhei novamente e vi diante de mim quatro carruagens que vinham saindo do meio de duas montanhas de bronze.

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 À primeira estavam atrelados cavalos vermelhos, à segunda, cavalos pretos,

In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;

3 à terceira, cavalos brancos, e à quarta, cavalos malhados. Todos eram vigorosos.

and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grizzled strong horses.

4 P erguntei ao anjo que falava comigo: Que representam estes cavalos atrelados, meu senhor?

Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord?

5 O anjo me respondeu: “Estes são os quatro espíritos dos céus, que acabam de sair da presença do Soberano de toda a terra.

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 A carruagem puxada pelos cavalos pretos vai em direção à terra do norte, a que tem cavalos brancos vai em direção ao ocidente, e a que tem cavalos malhados vai para a terra do sul”.

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 O s vigorosos cavalos avançavam, impacientes por percorrer a terra. E o anjo lhes disse: “Percorram toda a terra!” E eles foram.

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 E ntão ele me chamou e disse: “Veja, os que foram para a terra do norte deram repouso ao meu Espírito naquela terra”. A Coroa de Josué

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 E o Senhor me ordenou:

And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

10 “ Tome prata e ouro dos exilados Heldai, Tobias e Jedaías, que chegaram da Babilônia. No mesmo dia vá à casa de Josias, filho de Sofonias.

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 P egue a prata e o ouro, faça uma coroa, e coloque-a na cabeça do sumo sacerdote Josué, filho de Jeozadaque.

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 D iga-lhe que assim diz o Senhor dos Exércitos: Aqui está o homem cujo nome é Renovo, e ele sairá do seu lugar e construirá o templo do Senhor.

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 E le construirá o templo do Senhor, será revestido de majestade e se assentará em seu trono para governar. Ele será sacerdote no trono. E haverá harmonia entre os dois.

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 A coroa será para Heldai, Tobias, Jedaías e Hem, filho de Sofonias, como um memorial no templo do Senhor.

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 G ente de longe virá ajudar a construir o templo do Senhor. Então vocês saberão que o Senhor dos Exércitos me enviou a vocês. Isto só acontecerá se obedecerem fielmente à voz do Senhor, o seu Deus”.

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.
