四辆马车

我又举目观看,见有四辆马车从两座铜山之间出来。 第一辆车套着红马,第二辆车套着黑马, 第三辆车套着白马,第四辆车套着斑点马,马都很雄壮。 我问与我说话的天使:“主啊,这些马车是什么意思?” 天使说:“他们是侍立在天下之主面前的四灵[a],正在出发。” 套着黑马的车前往北方,套着白马的车前往西方[b],套着斑点马的车前往南方。 这些雄壮的马出来,迫不及待地要巡察大地。天使说:“你们去巡察大地吧!”它们便遵命而行。 他又高声对我说:“看啊,那些到北方去的已在那里使我的心得到安慰。”

为约书亚加冕

耶和华的话传给了我,说: 10 “被掳到巴比伦的黑玳、多比雅和耶大雅已经回来了,你要收集他们奉献的金银,并在当天去西番雅的儿子约西亚家。 11 要用这些金银制作冠冕,戴在约撒答的儿子约书亚大祭司头上, 12 告诉他,万军之耶和华说,‘看啊,那被称为大卫苗裔的要从自己的地方兴起,建造耶和华的殿。 13 祂必建造耶和华的殿,带着王者的尊荣坐在宝座上掌权,宝座上也必坐着祭司[c],两者和谐共存。’ 14 这冠冕要留在耶和华的殿中,作为对黑玳[d]、多比雅、耶大雅和西番雅的儿子约西亚[e]的纪念。”

15 远方的人也要来建造耶和华的殿。那时你们便知道是万军之耶和华差遣我到你们这里来的。你们若全心遵从你们上帝耶和华的话,这事就必成就。

And I turn back, and lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, four chariots are coming forth from between two of the mountains, and the mountains [are] mountains of brass.

In the first chariot [are] red horses, and in the second chariot brown horses,

and in the third chariot white horses, and in the fourth chariot strong grisled horses.

And I answer and say unto the messenger who is speaking with me, `What [are] these, my lord?'

And the messenger answereth and saith unto me, `These [are] four spirits of the heavens coming forth from presenting themselves before the Lord of the whole earth.

The brown horses that [are] therein, are coming forth unto the land of the north; and the white have come forth unto their hinder part; and the grisled have come forth unto the land of the south;

and the strong ones have come forth, and they seek to go to walk up and down in the earth;' and he saith, `Go, walk up and down in the earth;' and they walk up and down in the earth.

And he calleth me, and speaketh unto me, saying, `See, those coming forth unto the land of the north have caused My Spirit to rest in the land of the north.'

And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,

10 to take of the captivity (who came from Babylon) from Heldai, from Tobijah, and from Jedaiah, `and thou hast come in -- thou, in that day, yea, thou hast come into the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah,

11 and thou hast taken silver and gold, and hast made a crown, and hast placed on the head of Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest,

12 and hast spoken unto him, saying: Thus spake Jehovah of Hosts, saying: Lo, a man! A Shoot -- [is] his name, And from his place he doth shoot up, And he hath built the temple of Jehovah.

13 Yea, he doth build the temple of Jehovah, And he doth bear away honour, And he hath sat and ruled on His throne, And hath been a priest on His throne, And a counsel of peace is between both.

14 And the crown is to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of Jehovah.

15 And the far-off come in, and they have built in the temple of Jehovah, and ye have known that Jehovah of Hosts hath sent me unto you, yea, it hath come to pass, if ye do certainly hearken to the voice of Jehovah your God.'
