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 et conversus sum et levavi oculos meos et vidi
et ecce quattuor quadrigae egredientes de medio duorum montium
et montes montes aerei
2 in quadriga prima equi rufi et in quadriga secunda equi nigri
3 et in quadriga tertia equi albi
et in quadriga quarta equi varii fortes
4 et respondi et dixi ad angelum qui loquebatur in me
quid sunt haec domine mi
5 et respondit angelus et ait ad me isti sunt quattuor venti caeli
qui egrediuntur ut stent coram Dominatore omnis terrae
6 in quo erant equi nigri
egrediebantur in terra aquilonis
et albi egressi sunt post eos et varii egressi sunt ad terram austri
7 qui autem erant robustissimi
exierunt et quaerebant ire et discurrere per omnem terram
et dixit ite perambulate terram
et perambulaverunt terram
8 et vocavit me et locutus est ad me dicens
ecce qui egrediuntur in terram aquilonis
requiescere fecerunt spiritum meum in terra aquilonis
9 et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens
10 sume a transmigratione ab Oldai et a Tobia et ab Idaia
et venies tu in die illa
et intrabis domum Iosiae filii Sofoniae
qui venerunt de Babylone
11 et sumes argentum et aurum et facies coronas
et pones in capite Iesu filii Iosedech sacerdotis magni
12 et loqueris ad eum dicens
haec ait Dominus exercituum dicens
ecce vir Oriens nomen eius
et subter eum orietur et aedificabit templum Domino
13 et ipse extruet templum Domino et ipse portabit gloriam
et sedebit et dominabitur super solio suo
et erit sacerdos super solio suo
et consilium pacis erit inter duos illos
14 et coronae erunt Helem et Tobiae et Idaiae et Hen filio Sofoniae
memoriale in templo Domini
15 et qui procul sunt venient et aedificabunt in templo Domini
et scietis quia Dominus exercituum misit me ad vos
erit autem hoc si auditu audieritis vocem Domini Dei vestri
