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 Un es no jauna pacēlu savas acis uz augšu un skatījos, un raugi - tur bija četrēji rati, tie virzījās šurpu starp diviem kalniem; bet kalni bija vara. 2 Pirmajos ratos bija iejūgti sarkanbrūni, otrajos - melni zirgi, 3 trešajos - balti, ceturtajos - raibi spēcīgi zirgi. 4 Un es jautāju un teicu eņģelim, kas ar mani runāja: kāda tiem nozīme, mans kungs? 5 Eņģelis atbildēja un teica man: tie ir tie četri debesu vēji, kas iziet pasaulē, pēc tam kad tie ir stāvējuši visu zemju Valdnieka priekšā. 6 Rati, kuriem priekšā ir melnie zirgi, virzās uz ziemeļu zemi, un rati ar baltiem zirgiem virzās uz austrumiem, bet raibie zirgi dodas uz dienvidu zemi; 7 spēcīgie sarkanbrūnie dodas uz vakaru zemi, un viņu nolūks ir savā braucienā pārstaigāt visu zemi. - Un viņš sacīja: ejiet un pārstaigājiet visu zemi! - un tie pārstaigāja visu zemi. 8 Tad viņš man vēl skaļi sacīja šādus vārdus: raugi, tie, kas aizgāja uz ziemeļu zemi, ļaus atrast Manam Garam mieru ziemeļu zemē." 9 Pēc tam atkal pār mani nāca Tā Kunga vārds: 10 "Ņem no aizvesto - no Heldaja, no Tobijas un no Jedajas dāvanām un atnāc šo pašu dienu un noej Jozijas, Cefanjas dēla, namā, kur viņi, no Babilonijas pārnākušie, apmetušies, 11 un ņem sudrabu un zeltu, darini vainagu un uzliec to galvā Jozuam, augstajam priesterim, Jocadaka dēlam, 12 un saki viņam: tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaots: raugi, ir vīrs, kas saucas Cemahs, un viņa laikā viss zels un plauks, un viņš uzcels Tā Kunga namu. 13 Jā, tiešām, viņš uzcels Tā Kunga namu un nēsās valdnieka rotājumu pilnā godībā, un viņš sēdēs un valdīs uz sava troņa, arī priesteris būs savā goda krēslā, un miers valdīs viņu abu starpā. 14 Bet vainags paliks Tā Kunga namā par piemiņu Heldajam, Tobijam, Jedajam un Henam, Cefanjas dēlam. 15 Un tie, kas tālumā dzīvo, nāks un piedalīsies Tā Kunga nama celšanā. - Un tad jūs arī droši atzīsit, ka Tas Kungs Cebaots mani pie jums sūtījis; un viss tas notiks, ja jūs uzklausīsit Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, balsi."
