撒迦利亞書 6
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
四輛馬車
6 我又舉目觀看,見有四輛馬車從兩座銅山之間出來。 2 第一輛車套著紅馬,第二輛車套著黑馬, 3 第三輛車套著白馬,第四輛車套著斑點馬,馬都很雄壯。 4 我問與我說話的天使:「主啊,這些馬車是什麼意思?」 5 天使說:「他們是侍立在天下之主面前的四靈[a],正在出發。」 6 套著黑馬的車前往北方,套著白馬的車前往西方[b],套著斑點馬的車前往南方。 7 這些雄壯的馬出來,迫不及待地要巡察大地。天使說:「你們去巡察大地吧!」牠們便遵命而行。 8 他又高聲對我說:「看啊,那些到北方去的已在那裡使我的心得到安慰。」
為約書亞加冕
9 耶和華的話傳給了我,說: 10 「被擄到巴比倫的黑玳、多比雅和耶大雅已經回來了,你要收集他們奉獻的金銀,並在當天去西番雅的兒子約西亞家。 11 要用這些金銀製作冠冕,戴在約撒答的兒子約書亞大祭司頭上, 12 告訴他,萬軍之耶和華說,『看啊,那被稱為大衛苗裔的要從自己的地方興起,建造耶和華的殿。 13 祂必建造耶和華的殿,帶著王者的尊榮坐在寶座上掌權,寶座上也必坐著祭司[c],兩者和諧共存。』 14 這冠冕要留在耶和華的殿中,作為對黑玳[d]、多比雅、耶大雅和西番雅的兒子約西亞[e]的紀念。」
15 遠方的人也要來建造耶和華的殿。那時你們便知道是萬軍之耶和華差遣我到你們這裡來的。你們若全心遵從你們上帝耶和華的話,這事就必成就。

The Vision of the Four Chariots
6 I looked up again and saw four chariots ·going [coming] out between two mountains, mountains of bronze. 2 Red horses pulled the first chariot. Black horses pulled the second chariot. 3 White horses pulled the third chariot, and strong, ·spotted [dappled] horses pulled the fourth chariot. 4 I asked the ·angel [messenger] who was talking with me, “What are these, sir?”
5 He said, “These are the four spirits of heaven. They have just come from ·the presence of [or presenting themselves before] the Lord of the whole world. 6 The chariot pulled by the black horses will go to the land of the north. The white horses will go ·to the land of the west [or after them], and the spotted horses will go to the land of the south.”
7 When the powerful horses went out, they were ·eager [seeking] to go through all the earth. So he said, “Go ·through all [or and patrol] the earth,” and they did.
8 Then he ·called [cried out] to me, “Look, the horses that went north have caused my ·spirit to rest [anger to be appeased; or Spirit to rest] in the land of the north.”
A Crown for Joshua
9 The Lord spoke his word to me, saying, 10 “Take silver and gold from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, who were captives in Babylon. Go that same day to the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah, who came from Babylon [C may refer to the three men rather than to Josiah]. 11 Make the silver and gold into a crown, and put it on the head of Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest. 12 Tell him this is what the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts] says: ‘A man whose name is the Branch [3:8] will branch out from where he is, and he will build the Temple of the Lord. 13 It is he who will build the Temple of the Lord and will ·receive honor [or be clothed in splendor/majesty]. He will sit on his throne and rule [C referring to Zerubbabel and ultimately to the Messiah]. And there will be a priest on his throne [C referring to Joshua the high priest and ultimately to the Messiah]. And ·these two will work together in peace [L the counsel of peace will be between the two].’ 14 The crown will be kept in the Temple of the Lord to remind ·Heldai [L Helem; C probably another name for Heldai], Tobijah, Jedaiah, and ·Josiah [L Hen; C perhaps a nickname for Josiah, meaning “gracious one”] son of Zephaniah. 15 People living far away will come and build the Temple of the Lord. Then you will know the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts] has sent me to you. This will happen if you completely obey the [L voice of the] Lord your God.”
Zechariah 6
New International Version
Four Chariots
6 I looked up again, and there before me were four chariots(A) coming out from between two mountains—mountains of bronze. 2 The first chariot had red horses, the second black,(B) 3 the third white,(C) and the fourth dappled—all of them powerful. 4 I asked the angel who was speaking to me, “What are these, my lord?”
5 The angel answered me, “These are the four spirits[a](D) of heaven, going out from standing in the presence of the Lord of the whole world.(E) 6 The one with the black horses is going toward the north country, the one with the white horses toward the west,[b] and the one with the dappled horses toward the south.”
7 When the powerful horses went out, they were straining to go throughout the earth.(F) And he said, “Go throughout the earth!” So they went throughout the earth.
8 Then he called to me, “Look, those going toward the north country have given my Spirit[c] rest(G) in the land of the north.”(H)
A Crown for Joshua
9 The word of the Lord came to me: 10 “Take silver and gold from the exiles Heldai, Tobijah and Jedaiah, who have arrived from Babylon.(I) Go the same day to the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah. 11 Take the silver and gold and make a crown,(J) and set it on the head of the high priest, Joshua(K) son of Jozadak.[d](L) 12 Tell him this is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Here is the man whose name is the Branch,(M) and he will branch out from his place and build the temple of the Lord.(N) 13 It is he who will build the temple of the Lord, and he will be clothed with majesty and will sit and rule on his throne. And he[e] will be a priest(O) on his throne. And there will be harmony between the two.’ 14 The crown will be given to Heldai,[f] Tobijah, Jedaiah and Hen[g] son of Zephaniah as a memorial(P) in the temple of the Lord. 15 Those who are far away will come and help to build the temple of the Lord,(Q) and you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you.(R) This will happen if you diligently obey(S) the Lord your God.”
