Zechariah 6
New King James Version
Vision of the Four Chariots
6 Then I turned and raised my eyes and looked, and behold, four chariots were coming from between two mountains, and the mountains were mountains of bronze. 2 With the first chariot were (A)red horses, with the second chariot (B)black horses, 3 with the third chariot white horses, and with the fourth chariot dappled horses—strong steeds. 4 Then I answered (C)and said to the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?”
5 And the angel answered and said to me, (D)“These are four spirits of heaven, who go out from their (E)station before the Lord of all the earth. 6 [a]The one with the black horses is going to (F)the north country, the white are going after them, and the dappled are going toward the south country.” 7 Then the strong steeds went out, eager to go, that they might (G)walk to and fro throughout the earth. And He said, “Go, walk to and fro throughout the earth.” So they walked to and fro throughout the earth. 8 And He called to me, and spoke to me, saying, “See, those who go toward the north country have given rest to My (H)Spirit in the north country.”
The Command to Crown Joshua
9 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: 10 “Receive the gift from the captives—from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, who have come from Babylon—and go the same day and enter the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah. 11 Take the silver and gold, make (I)an[b] elaborate crown, and set it on the head of (J)Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest. 12 Then speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, saying:
“Behold, (K)the Man whose name is the (L)BRANCH!
From His place He shall [c]branch out,
(M)And He shall build the temple of the Lord;
13 Yes, He shall build the temple of the Lord.
He (N)shall bear the glory,
And shall sit and rule on His throne;
So (O)He shall be a priest on His throne,
And the counsel of peace shall be between [d]them both.” ’
14 “Now the [e]elaborate crown shall be (P)for a memorial in the temple of the Lord [f]for Helem, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and Hen the son of Zephaniah. 15 Even (Q)those from afar shall come and build the temple of the Lord. Then you shall know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you. And this shall come to pass if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God.”

6 我 又 举 目 观 看 , 见 有 四 辆 车 从 两 山 中 间 出 来 ; 那 山 是 铜 山 。
2 第 一 辆 车 套 着 红 马 , 第 二 辆 车 套 着 黑 马 。
3 第 三 辆 车 套 着 白 马 , 第 四 辆 车 套 着 有 斑 点 的 壮 马 。
4 我 就 问 与 我 说 话 的 天 使 说 : 主 啊 , 这 是 甚 麽 意 思 ?
5 天 使 回 答 我 说 : 这 是 天 的 四 风 , 是 从 普 天 下 的 主 面 前 出 来 的 。
6 套 着 黑 马 的 车 往 北 方 去 , 白 马 跟 随 在 後 ; 有 斑 点 的 马 往 南 方 去 。
7 壮 马 出 来 , 要 在 遍 地 走 来 走 去 。 天 使 说 : 你 们 只 管 在 遍 地 走 来 走 去 。 他 们 就 照 样 行 了 。
8 他 又 呼 叫 我 说 : 看 哪 , 往 北 方 去 的 已 在 北 方 安 慰 我 的 心 。

13 他 要 建 造 耶 和 华 的 殿 , 并 担 负 尊 荣 , 坐 在 位 上 掌 王 权 ; 又 必 在 位 上 作 祭 司 , 使 两 职 之 间 筹 定 和 平 。
14 这 冠 冕 要 归 希 连 ( 就 是 黑 玳 ) 、 多 比 雅 、 耶 大 雅 , 和 西 番 雅 的 儿 子 贤 ( 就 是 约 西 亚 ) , 放 在 耶 和 华 的 殿 里 为 记 念 。
15 远 方 的 人 也 要 来 建 造 耶 和 华 的 殿 , 你 们 就 知 道 万 军 之 耶 和 华 差 遣 我 到 你 们 这 里 来 。 你 们 若 留 意 听 从 耶 和 华 ─ 你 们 神 的 话 , 这 事 必 然 成 就 。

A Vision of Four Chariots
6 Again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains. And the mountains were mountains of (A)bronze. 2 The first chariot had (B)red horses, the second (C)black horses, 3 the third (D)white horses, and the fourth chariot dappled horses—all of them strong.[a] 4 Then I answered and said to (E)the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?” 5 And the angel answered and said to me, (F)“These are going out to the four winds of heaven,[b] after (G)presenting themselves before (H)the Lord of all the earth. 6 The chariot with the black horses goes toward (I)the north country, the white ones go after them, and the dappled ones go toward (J)the south country.” 7 When the strong horses came out, they were impatient to go and (K)patrol the earth. And he said, “Go, (L)patrol the earth.” (M)So they patrolled the earth. 8 Then he cried to me, “Behold, those who go toward (N)the north country have set my Spirit at rest in (O)the north country.”
The Crown and the Temple
9 And the word of the Lord came to me: 10 “Take from the exiles (P)Heldai, Tobijah, and (Q)Jedaiah, who have arrived from Babylon, and go the same day to the house of Josiah, the son of (R)Zephaniah. 11 Take from them silver and gold, and make a crown, (S)and set it on the head of (T)Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest. 12 And say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, “Behold, the man whose name is (U)the Branch: for he shall branch out from his place, and (V)he shall build the temple of the Lord. 13 (W)It is he who shall build the temple of the Lord (X)and shall bear royal honor, and shall sit and rule on his throne. And there[c] shall be a (Y)priest on his throne, (Z)and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.”’ 14 And the crown shall be in the temple of the Lord as (AA)a reminder to (AB)Helem,[d] (AC)Tobijah, (AD)Jedaiah, and Hen (AE)the son of Zephaniah.
15 (AF)“And those who are far off shall come and (AG)help to build the temple of the Lord. (AH)And you shall know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you. (AI)And this shall come to pass, if you will diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God.”

La Palabra (Hispanoamérica)
Octava visión: los cuatro carros
6 De nuevo alce la vista y, al mirar, vi cuatro carros que salían de entre dos montañas que eran de bronce. 2 El primer carro iba tirado por caballos alazanes, el segundo por caballos negros, 3 el tercero por caballos blancos, y el cuarto por caballos tordos. 4 Pregunté entonces al ángel que hablaba conmigo:
— Señor mío, ¿qué representan esos caballos?
5 El ángel me respondió:
— Representan a los cuatro vientos del cielo que se ponen en movimiento después de haber estado en presencia del Dueño de toda la tierra. 6 El carro de caballos negros sale hacia el norte, el de caballos blancos parte siguiendo sus pasos, y el de caballos tordos avanza hacia el país del sur.
7 Salieron con ímpetu decididos a recorrer toda la tierra. Apenas se les ordenó que salieran a recorrer toda la tierra, la recorrieron de inmediato. 8 Y [el ángel] me llamó para decirme:
— Mira, los que se dirigen al norte intentan aplacar la ira del Señor en el país del norte.
La corona
9 El Señor me habló en estos términos:
10 — Vete a casa de Josías, hijo de Sofonías, adonde acaban de llegar de Babilonia los deportados Jelday, Tobías y Jedaías, y haz una colecta. 11 Toma oro y plata, fabrica una corona, ponla sobre la cabeza del sumo sacerdote Josué, hijo de Josadac, 12 y dile: “Así dice el Señor del universo: Aquí está el hombre llamado Germen; a su paso todo germinará; él reconstruirá el Templo del Señor. 13 Reconstruirá, en efecto, el Templo del Señor, recibirá honores reales y se sentará en el trono para gobernar. Un sacerdote se sentará en el trono y reinará entre ambos la concordia”.
14 En cuanto a la corona, se conservará en el Templo del Señor para perpetuar la memoria de Jelday, Tobías, Jedaías y Josías, hijo de Sofonías. 15 Vendrá gente de lejos a trabajar en la reconstrucción del Templo del Señor y tendrán que reconocer que el Señor del universo me ha enviado a ustedes. Todo esto se cumplirá si obedecen puntualmente al Señor, su Dios.
