1. Once more I looked, and this time I saw four chariots emerging from between two mountains of bronze.
|
1. And I turned H7725 , and lifted up H5375 mine eyes H5869 , and looked H7200 , and, behold H2009 , there came four chariots out H3318 H702 H4818 from between H4480 H996 two H8147 mountains H2022 ; and the mountains H2022 were mountains H2022 of brass H5178 .
|
|
2. Harnessed to the first chariot were red horses, to the second black horses,
|
2. In the first H7223 chariot H4818 were red H122 horses H5483 ; and in the second H8145 chariot H4818 black H7838 horses H5483 ;
|
|
3. to the third white horses, and to the fourth spotted horses, all of them strong.
|
3. And in the third H7992 chariot H4818 white H3836 horses H5483 ; and in the fourth H7243 chariot H4818 grizzled H1261 and bay H554 horses H5483 .
|
|
4. Then I asked the angelic messenger who was speaking with me, "What are these, sir?"
|
4. Then I answered H6030 and said H559 unto H413 the angel H4397 that talked H1696 with me, What H4100 are these H428 , my lord H113 ?
|
|
5. The messenger replied, "These are the four spirits of heaven that have been presenting themselves before the Lord of all the earth.
|
5. And the angel H4397 answered H6030 and said H559 unto H413 me, These H428 are the four H702 spirits H7307 of the heavens H8064 , which go forth H3318 from standing H4480 H3320 before H5921 the Lord H113 of all H3605 the earth H776 .
|
|
6. The chariot with the black horses is going to the north country and the white ones are going after them, but the spotted ones are going to the south country.
|
6. The black H7838 horses H5483 which H834 are therein go forth H3318 into H413 the north H6828 country H776 ; and the white H3836 go forth H3318 after H413 H310 them ; and the grizzled H1261 go forth H3318 toward H413 the south H8486 country H776 .
|
|
7. All these strong ones are scattering; they have sought permission to go and walk about over the earth." The Lord had said, "Go! Walk about over the earth!" So they are doing so.
|
7. And the bay H554 went forth H3318 , and sought H1245 to go H1980 that they might walk to and fro H1980 through the earth H776 : and he said H559 , Get you hence H1980 , walk to and fro H1980 through the earth H776 . So they walked to and fro H1980 through the earth H776 .
|
|
8. Then he cried out to me, "Look! The ones going to the northland have brought me peace about the northland."
|
8. Then cried H2199 he upon me , and spoke H1696 unto H413 me, saying H559 , Behold H7200 , these that go H3318 toward H413 the north H6828 country H776 have quieted H5117 H853 my spirit H7307 in the north H6828 country H776 .
|
|
9. The word of the LORD came to me as follows:
|
9. And the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 me, saying H559 ,
|
|
10. "Choose some people from among the exiles, namely, Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, all of whom have come from Babylon, and when you have done so go to the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah.
|
10. Take H3947 of H4480 H854 them of the captivity H1473 , even of Heldai H4480 H2469 , of H4480 H854 Tobijah H2900 , and of H4480 H854 Jedaiah H3048 , which H834 are come H935 from Babylon H4480 H894 , and come H935 thou H859 the same H1931 day H3117 , and go H935 into the house H1004 of Josiah H2977 the son H1121 of Zephaniah H6846 ;
|
|
11. Then take some silver and gold to make a crown and set it on the head of Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest.
|
11. Then take H3947 silver H3701 and gold H2091 , and make H6213 crowns H5850 , and set H7760 them upon the head H7218 of Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Josedech H3087 , the high H1419 priest H3548 ;
|
|
12. Then say to him, 'The LORD who rules over all says, "Look� here is the man whose name is Branch, who will sprout up from his place and build the temple of the LORD.
|
12. And speak H559 unto H413 him, saying H559 , Thus H3541 speaketh H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 , saying H559 , Behold H2009 the man H376 whose name H8034 is The BRANCH H6780 ; and he shall grow up H6779 out of his place H4480 H8478 , and he shall build H1129 H853 the temple H1964 of the LORD H3068 :
|
|
13. Indeed, he will build the temple of the LORD, and he will be clothed in splendor, sitting as king on his throne. Moreover, there will be a priest with him on his throne and they will see eye to eye on everything.
|
13. Even he H1931 shall build H1129 H853 the temple H1964 of the LORD H3068 ; and he H1931 shall bear H5375 the glory H1935 , and shall sit H3427 and rule H4910 upon H5921 his throne H3678 ; and he shall be H1961 a priest H3548 upon H5921 his throne H3678 : and the counsel H6098 of peace H7965 shall be H1961 between H996 them both H8147 .
|
|
14. The crown will then be turned over to Helem, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and Hen son of Zephaniah as a memorial in the temple of the LORD.
|
14. And the crowns H5850 shall be H1961 to Helem H2494 , and to Tobijah H2900 , and to Jedaiah H3048 , and to Hen H2581 the son H1121 of Zephaniah H6846 , for a memorial H2146 in the temple H1964 of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
15. Then those who are far away will come and build the temple of the LORD so that you may know that the LORD who rules over all has sent me to you. This will all come to pass if you completely obey the voice of the LORD your God."'"
|
15. And they that are far off H7350 shall come H935 and build H1129 in the temple H1964 of the LORD H3068 , and ye shall know H3045 that H3588 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 hath sent H7971 me unto H413 you . And this shall come to pass H1961 , if H518 ye will diligently obey H8085 H8085 the voice H6963 of the LORD H3068 your God H430 .
