Zechariah 6

1And again I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.

1I looked up again and saw four chariots coming out from between two mountains, and the mountains were made of bronze.

2In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;

2The first chariot had red horses, and the second chariot had black horses.

3and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grizzled strong horses.

3The third chariot had white horses, and the fourth chariot had dappled, strong horses.

4Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord?

4I asked the angel who was talking with me, 'What are these, my lord?'

5And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four winds of heaven, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.

5The angel answered, 'These are the four spirits of heaven, going out after standing before the Lord of all the earth.'

6The chariot wherein are the black horses goeth forth toward the north country; and the white went forth after them; and the grizzled went forth toward the south country.

6The chariot with the black horses is going toward the north country, the white horses are going after them, and the dappled horses are going toward the south country.

7And the strong went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.

7When these strong horses went out, they were eager to go and patrol the whole earth. The angel said, 'Go, patrol the earth!' So they went throughout the earth.

8Then cried he to me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, they that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.

8Then he called out to me, 'Look, those going toward the north country have given my Spirit rest in the north.'

9And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

9Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying:

10Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah; and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, whither they are come from Babylon;

10'Take silver and gold from the exiles Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, who have arrived from Babylon. Go that same day to the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah.'

11yea, take of them silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest;

11'Take the silver and gold and make a crown, and place it on the head of Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest.'

12and speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, saying, Behold, the man whose name is the Branch: and he shall grow up out of his place; and he shall build the temple of Jehovah;

12'Tell him: This is what the LORD of Heaven’s Armies says: "Here is the man whose name is the Branch. He will branch out from his place and build the temple of the LORD."'

13even he shall build the temple of Jehovah; 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.

13'Yes, he is the one who will build the temple of the LORD. He will be clothed in majesty and will sit and rule on his throne. He will also be a priest on his throne, and there will be perfect harmony between the two offices.'

14And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of Jehovah.

14'The crown will remain in the temple of the LORD as a reminder to Helem, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and Hen son of Zephaniah.'

15And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of Jehovah; and ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of Jehovah your God.

15'People from far away will come and help build the temple of the LORD. Then you will know that the LORD of Heaven’s Armies has sent me to you. This will all happen if you carefully obey the LORD your God.'
