1. Levantando de novo os olhos, olhei e vi quatro carros que saíam dentre duas montanhas: estas eram montanhas de bronze.*

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. No primeiro carro havia cavalos vermelhos; no segundo, cavalos negros;

2. In the first chariot [were] red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;

3. no terceiro, cavalos brancos; e no quarto, cavalos baios.

3. And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses.

4. Tomando então a palavra, perguntei ao anjo que falava comigo: “Que carros são esses, meu Senhor?”.

4. Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What [are] these, my lord?

5. Ele respondeu-me: “Eles vão para os quatro ventos do céu e deixam o lugar onde se apresentaram diante do Senhor de toda a terra.

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. Os cavalos negros dirigem-se para o Norte; os brancos, para o Ocidente; os baios, para o Sul”.

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. Partiram fogosos e procuraram lançar-se para percorrer a terra. O Senhor disse-lhes: “Ide, percorrei a terra!”. E eles puseram-se a percorrer a terra.

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. Ele chamou-me e disse: “Olha, os que se dirigem para o Norte vão saciar a minha cólera contra a terra do Norte”.*

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. A palavra do Senhor foi-me dirigida nestes termos:

9. And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

10. “Vai e recebe a oferta da comunidade, os dons de Heldai, Tobias e Idaías; vai hoje mesmo à casa de Josias, filho de Sofonias, pois se dirigiram para lá de volta da Babilônia.*

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. Tomarás prata e ouro e farás uma coroa, que porás sobre a cabeça do sumo sacerdote Josué, filho de Josedec,*

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. e lhe dirás: Assim fala o Se­nhor dos exércitos: Eis o homem, cujo nome é Rebento; alguma coisa vai germinar de sua linhagem.

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. Ele é que reconstruirá o Templo do Senhor: usará insígnias reais e se sentará como rei sobre o seu trono; terá um sacerdote à sua direita, e reinará a perfeita paz entre eles.

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. A coroa será conservada no Templo do Senhor em memória de Heldai, Tobias e Idaías, como também de Josias, filho de Sofonias.

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. Virão, então, aqueles que se acham distantes para trabalhar na construção do Templo do Senhor, e sabereis que fui enviado a vós pelo Senhor dos exércitos. Tudo isso há de realizar-se, se fordes dóceis à voz do Senhor, vosso Deus”.

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.
