Zechariah 6

The Message Bible MSG

1 Once again I looked up - another strange sight! Four chariots charging out from between two mountains. The mountains were bronze.

2 The first chariot was drawn by red horses, the second chariot by black horses,

3 the third chariot by white horses, and the fourth chariot by dappled horses. All the horses were powerful.

4 I asked the Messenger-Angel, "Sir, what's the meaning here?"

5 The angel answered, "These are the four winds of heaven, which originate with the Master of the whole earth.

6 The black horses are headed north with the white ones right after them. The dappled horses are headed south."

7 The powerful horses galloped out, bursting with energy, eager to patrol through the earth. The Messenger-Angel commanded: "On your way! Survey the earth!" and they were off in every direction.

8 Then he called to me and said, "Look at them go! The ones going north are conveying a sense of my Spirit, serene and secure. No more trouble from that direction."

9 Then this Message from God came to me:

10 "Take up a collection from the exiles. Target Heldai, Tobiah, and Jedaiah. They've just arrived from Babylon. You'll find them at the home of Josiah son of Zephaniah.

11 Collect silver and gold from them and fashion crowns. Place one on the head of Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest,

12 and give him this message:

13 Yes, he's the one. He'll build the Temple of God. Then he'll assume the role of royalty, take his place on the throne and rule - a priest sitting on the throne! - showing that king and priest can coexist in harmony.'

14 "The other crown will be in the Temple of God as a symbol of royalty, under the custodial care of Helem, Tobiah, Jedaiah, and Hen son of Zephaniah.

15 "People will come from faraway places to pitch in and rebuild the Temple of God. This will confirm that God-of-the-Angel-Armies did, in fact, send me to you. All this follows as you put your minds to a life of responsive obedience to the voice of your God." "You're Interested in Religion, I'm Interested in People"

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 et conversus sum et levavi oculos meos et vidi et ecce quattuor quadrigae egredientes de medio duorum montium et montes montes aerei

2 in quadriga prima equi rufi et in quadriga secunda equi nigri

3 et in quadriga tertia equi albi et in quadriga quarta equi varii fortes

4 et respondi et dixi ad angelum qui loquebatur in me quid sunt haec domine mi

5 et respondit angelus et ait ad me isti sunt quattuor venti caeli qui egrediuntur ut stent coram Dominatore omnis terrae

6 in quo erant equi nigri egrediebantur in terra aquilonis et albi egressi sunt post eos et varii egressi sunt ad terram austri

7 qui autem erant robustissimi exierunt et quaerebant ire et discurrere per omnem terram et dixit ite perambulate terram et perambulaverunt terram

8 et vocavit me et locutus est ad me dicens ecce qui egrediuntur in terram aquilonis requiescere fecerunt spiritum meum in terra aquilonis

9 et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens

10 sume a transmigratione ab Oldai et a Tobia et ab Idaia et venies tu in die illa et intrabis domum Iosiae filii Sofoniae qui venerunt de Babylone

11 et sumes argentum et aurum et facies coronas et pones in capite Iesu filii Iosedech sacerdotis magni

12 et loqueris ad eum dicens haec ait Dominus exercituum dicens ecce vir Oriens nomen eius et subter eum orietur et aedificabit templum Domino

13 et ipse extruet templum Domino et ipse portabit gloriam et sedebit et dominabitur super solio suo et erit sacerdos super solio suo et consilium pacis erit inter duos illos

14 et coronae erunt Helem et Tobiae et Idaiae et Hen filio Sofoniae memoriale in templo Domini

15 et qui procul sunt venient et aedificabunt in templo Domini et scietis quia Dominus exercituum misit me ad vos erit autem hoc si auditu audieritis vocem Domini Dei vestri
