1 And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, 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 grisled and bay 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 spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth. 6 The black horses which are therein go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth toward the south country. 7 And the bay 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 upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.

9 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 10 Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which are come from Babylon, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah; 11 Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest; 12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD 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 the LORD: 13 Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; 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 the LORD. 15 And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.

1 我又举目观看， 看见有四辆战车从两座山中间出来， 那两座山是铜山。

2 第一辆战车套着红马， 第二辆套着黑马，

3 第三辆套着白马， 第四辆套着有斑点的马； 这些马都很雄壮。

4 于是我问那与我说话的天使： "我主啊， 这些是什么意思？"

5 天使回答我： "这些是天的四风（"风"或译： "灵"）， 是从侍立在全地之主面前出来的。"

6 套着黑马的车出来， 往北方之地去； 套着白马的车出来， 跟在它们后面（"跟在它们后面"或译： "往西方去"）； 套着有斑点的马的车出来， 往南方之地去。

7 这些雄壮的马出来， 切望在全地走遍各处； 天使说： "你们去吧， 只管在全地走遍各处。"它们就在全地走遍各处。

8 他又呼唤我， 对我说： "你看， 那些出来往北方之地去的， 已经在北方之地使我心灵的忿怒平息下来。"

9 耶和华的话临到我， 说：

10 "你要从黑玳、多比雅和耶大雅手中收取被掳的人奉献的金银； 他们已经从巴比伦回来了。你要即日去， 进入西番雅的儿子约西亚的家里。

11 你要拿这金银来做冠冕， 戴在约撒答的儿子大祭司约书亚的头上，

12 告诉他说： ‘万军之耶和华这样说： 看哪！ 有一个人名叫大卫的苗裔， 他必从自己的地方生长起来， 并要建造耶和华的殿。

13 他必建造耶和华的殿， 必得尊荣； 他必坐在宝座上执掌王权， 又必在他的宝座上作祭司， 使两者之间和谐共济。’"

14 这冠冕要在耶和华的殿中给希连（"希连"有古译本作"黑玳"）、多比雅、耶大雅和西番雅的儿子贤（"贤"有古译本作"约西亚"）作记念。

15 远方的人也要来建造耶和华的殿， 你们就知道万军之耶和华差遣了我到你们这里来。你们若留心听从耶和华你们 神的话， 这事必定成就。
