1 Again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of bronze. 2 In the first chariot were red horses. In the second chariot were black horses. 3 In the third chariot were white horses. In the fourth chariot were dappled horses, all of them powerful. 4 Then I asked the angel who talked with me, "What are these, my lord?"

5 The angel answered me, "These are the four winds of the sky, which go out from standing before the Lord of all the earth. 6 The one with the black horses goes out toward the north country; and the white went out after them; and the dappled went out toward the south country." 7 The strong went out, and sought to go that they might walk back and forth through the earth. He said, "Go around and through the earth!" So they walked back and forth through the earth.

8 Then he called to me, and spoke to me, saying, "Behold, those who go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country."

9 Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, 10 "Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah; and come the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, where they have come from Babylon. 11 Yes, take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest; 12 and speak to him, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies says, "Behold, the man whose name is the Branch! He will grow up out of his place; and he will build Yahweh’s temple. 13 He will build Yahweh’s temple. He will bear the glory, and will sit and rule on his throne. He will be a priest on his throne. The counsel of peace will be between them both. 14 The crowns shall be to Helem, to Tobijah, to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in Yahweh’s temple.

15 Those who are far off shall come and build in Yahweh’s temple; and you shall know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you. This will happen, if you will diligently obey Yahweh your God’s voice."’"

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.
