Prophetia Zachariae, 6
1. et conversus sum et levavi oculos meos et vidi et ecce quattuor quadrigæ egredientes de medio duorum montium et montes montes ærei
1. And I turned, and lifted up my eyes, and saw: and behold four chariots came out from the midst of two mountains: and the mountains were mountains of brass.
2. in quadriga prima equi rufi et in quadriga secunda equi nigri
2. In the first chariot were red horses, and in the second chariot black horses.
3. et in quadriga tertia equi albi et in quadriga quarta equi varii fortes
3. And in the third chariot white horses, and in the fourth chariot grisled horses, and strong ones.
4. et respondi et dixi ad angelum qui loquebatur in me quid sunt hæc domine mi
4. And I answered, and said to the an- gel that spoke in me: What are these, my lord?
5. et respondit angelus et ait ad me isti sunt quattuor venti cæli qui egrediuntur ut stent coram Dominatore omnis terræ
5. And the angel answered, and said to me: These are the four winds of the heaven, which go forth to stand before the Lord of all the earth.
6. in quo erant equi nigri egrediebantur in terra aquilonis et albi egressi sunt post eos et varii egressi sunt ad terram austri
6. That in which were the black horses went forth into the land of the north, and the white went forth after them: and the grisled went forth to the land of the south.
7. qui autem erant robustissimi exierunt et quærebant ire et discurrere per omnem terram et dixit ite perambulate terram et perambulaverunt terram
7. And they that were most strong, went out, and sought to go, and to run to and fro through all the earth. And he said: Go, walk throughout the earth : and they walked throughout 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. And he called me, and spoke to me, saying: Behold they that go forth into the land of the north, have quieted my spirit in the land of the north.
9. et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens
9. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying :
10. sume a transmigratione ab Oldai et a Tobia et ab Idaja et venies tu in die illa et intrabis domum Josiæ filii Sofoniæ qui venerunt de Babylone
10. Take of them of the captivity, of Holdai, and of Tobias, and of Idaias; thou shalt come in that day, and shalt go into the house of Josias, the son of Sophonias, who came out of Babylon.
11. et sumes argentum et aurum et facies coronas et pones in capite Jesu filii Josedech sacerdotis magni
11. And thou shalt take gold and silver: and shalt make crowns, and thou shalt set them on the head of Jesus the son of Josedec, the high priest.
12. et loqueris ad eum dicens hæc ait Dominus exercituum dicens ecce vir Oriens nomen ejus et subter eum orietur et ædificabit templum Domino
12. And thou shalt speak to him, saying: Thus saith the Lord of hosts, saying: BEHOLD A MAN, THE ORIENT IS HIS NAME: and under him shall he spring up, and shall build a temple to the Lord.
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
13. Yea, he shall build a temple to 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. et coronæ erunt Helem et Tobiæ et Idajæ et Hen filio Sofoniæ memoriale in templo Domini
14. And the crowns shall be to Helem, and Tobias, and Idaias, and to Hem, the son of Sophonias, a memorial in the temple of the Lord.
15. et qui procul sunt venient et ædificabunt in templo Domini et scietis quia Dominus exercituum misit me ad vos erit autem hoc si auditu audieritis vocem Domini Dei vestri
15. And they that are far off, shall come and shall build in the temple of the Lord: and you shall know that the Lord of hosts sent me to you. But this shall come to pass, if hearing you will hear the voice of the Lord your God.
