Prophetia Zachariae, 6
1. Et rursus levavi oculos meos et vidi: et ecce quattuor quadrigae egredientes de medio duorum montium; et montes, montes aerei.
1. And again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of bronze.
2. In quadriga prima equi rufi, et in quadriga secunda equi nigri,
2. The first chariot had red horses, the second black horses,
3. et in quadriga tertia equi albi, et in quadriga quarta equi varii.
3. the third white horses, and the fourth chariot dappled gray horses.
4. Et respondi et dixi ad angelum, qui loquebatur in me: “Quid sunt haec, domine mi?”.
4. Then I said to the angel who talked with me, "What are these, my lord?"
5. Et respondit angelus et ait ad me: “Isti sunt quattuor venti caeli, qui egrediuntur, postquam steterunt coram Dominatore omnis terrae”.
5. And the angel answered me, "These are going forth to the four winds of heaven, after presenting themselves before the LORD of all the earth.
6. In qua erant equi nigri, egrediebantur in terram aquilonis, et albi egressi sunt post eos, et varii egressi sunt ad terram austri.
6. The chariot with the black horses goes toward the north country, the white ones go toward the west country, and the dappled ones go toward the south country."
7. Et equi fortes exierunt et quaerebant ire et discurrere per terram. Et dixit: “Ite, perambulate terram”. Et perambulaverunt terram.
7. When the steeds came out, they were impatient to get off and patrol the earth. And he said, "Go, patrol the earth." So they patrolled the earth.
8. Et vocavit me et locutus est ad me dicens: “Ecce, qui egrediuntur in terram aquilonis requiescere fecerunt spiritum meum in terra aquilonis”.
8. Then he cried to me, "Behold, those who go toward the north country have set my Spirit at rest in the north country."
9. Et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens:
9. And the word of the LORD came to me:
10. “Sume ab his, qui de captivitate sunt, ab Holdai et a Thobia et ab Iedaia, et venies tu in die illa et intrabis domum Iosiae filii Sophoniae, qui venerunt de Babylone.
10. "Take from the exiles Heldai, Tobi'jah, and Jedai'ah, who have arrived from Babylon; and go the same day to the house of Josi'ah, the son of Zephani'ah.
11. Et sumes argentum et aurum et facies coronam et pones in capite Iesua filii Iosedec, sacerdotis magni,
11. Take from them silver and gold, and make a crown, and set it upon the head of Joshua, the son of Jehoz'adak, the high priest;
12. et loqueris ad eum dicens: Haec ait Dominus exercituum dicens: Ecce vir, Germen nomen eius; et in loco suo aliquid germinabit et aedificabit templum Domini.
12. and say to him, `Thus says the LORD of hosts, "Behold, the man whose name is the Branch: for he shall grow up in his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD.
13. Et ipse exstruet templum Domini; et ipse portabit gloriam et sedebit et dominabitur super solio suo; et erit sacerdos ad dexteram eius, et consilium pacis erit inter illos duos.
13. It is he who shall build the temple of the LORD, and shall bear royal honor, and shall sit and rule upon his throne. And there shall be a priest by his throne, and peaceful understanding shall be between them both."'
14. Et corona erit Helem et Thobiae et Iedaiae et Hen filio Sophoniae memoriale in templo Domini.
14. And the crown shall be in the temple of the LORD as a reminder to Heldai, Tobi'jah, Jedai'ah, and Josi'ah the son of Zephani'ah.
15. Et qui procul sunt, venient et aedificabunt in templo Domini; et scietis quia Dominus exercituum misit me ad vos. Erit autem hoc, si oboedieritis voci Domini Dei vestri””.
15. "And those who are far off shall come and help to build the temple of the LORD; and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you. And this shall come to pass, if you will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God."
