And I turned, and lifted up my eyes, and saw: and behold four chariots came out from the midst of two mountains: and the mountains were mountains of brass.

In the first chariot were red horses, and in the second chariot black horses.

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

And I answered, and said to the angel that spoke in me: What are these, my lord?

And the angel answered, and said to me: These are the four winds of the heaven, which go forth to stand before the Lord of all the earth.

That in which were the black horses went forth into the land of the north, and the white went forth after them: and the grisled went forth to the land of the south.

And they that were most strong, went out, and sought to go, and to run to and fro through all the earth. And he said: Go, walk throughout the earth: and they walked throughout the earth.

And he called me, and spoke to me, saying: Behold they that go forth into the land of the north, have quieted my spirit in the land of the north.

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

10 Take of them of the captivity, of Holdai, and of Tobias, and of Idaias; thou shalt come in that day, and shalt go into the house of Josias, the son of Sophonias, who came out of Babylon.

11 And thou shalt take gold and silver: and shalt make crowns, and thou shalt set them on the head of Jesus the son of Josedec, the high priest.

12 And thou shalt speak to him, saying: Thus saith the Lord of hosts, saying: BEHOLD A MAN, THE ORIENT IS HIS NAME: and under him shall he spring up, and shall build a temple to the Lord.

13 Yea, he shall build a temple to 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 Tobias, and Idaias, and to Hem, the son of Sophonias, a memorial in the temple of the Lord.

15 And they that are far off, shall come and shall build in the temple of the Lord: and you shall know that the Lord of hosts sent me to you. But this shall come to pass, if hearing you will hear the voice of the Lord your God.

Видение за четири колесници

(A)Аз отново повдигнах очи и видях: ето четири колесници излизат между две планини, а тези планини бяха медни планини. Конете на първата колесница бяха червени, а на втората колесница – черни. На третата колесница конете бяха бели, а на четвъртата – сиви; и всички те бяха силни коне! Тогава попитах ангела, който говореше с мене: „Какво е това, господарю мой?“ (B)Ангелът ми отговори: „Това са четирите небесни ветрове, които стояха пред Господаря на цялата земя и сега излизат с устрем. Черните коне там излизат към северната страна; след тях излизат белите коне, а сивите коне излизат към южната страна.“ И силните коне, като излязоха, се втурнаха да обходят земята. Той им рече: „Идете и обходете земята!“ И те обходиха земята. А той ме повика и се обърна към мене: „Виж конете, които излязоха към северната страна; те носят духа ми над северната земя.“

Възвеличаване на първосвещеник Иисус

И ето слово Господне към мене: 10 „Вземи дарове от завърналите се от плен – от Халдея, от Товия, и от Йедая, и иди в същия ден, иди в дома на Йосия, Софониевия син, където те пристигнаха от Вавилон! 11 Вземи от тях сребро и злато, направи венец, положи го на главата на Иисус, Йоседековия син, 12 (C)и му кажи: ‘Така казва Господ Вседържител: «Ето мъж, чието име е Стебло! Той ще израсте от корена Си и ще издигне Господния храм. 13 Да, Той ще издигне Господния храм; ще седне в слава на престола Си и ще управлява. Ще бъде и свещеник на престола Си и съгласие за мир ще има между двамата. 14 А венците ще бъдат в Господния храм в памет на Хелем и Товия, на Йедая и Хен, Софониевия син.

15 (D)Отдалеч ще дойдат и ще участват в градежа на Господния храм, и вие ще познаете, че Господ Вседържител ме е пратил при вас. А това ще се сбъдне, ако наистина се вслушвате в гласа на Господа, вашия Бог»’.“

Four Chariots

I looked up again, and there before me were four chariots(A) coming out from between two mountains—mountains of bronze. The first chariot had red horses, the second black,(B) the third white,(C) and the fourth dappled—all of them powerful. I asked the angel who was speaking to me, “What are these, my lord?”

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) 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.”

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.

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

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.”
