1 And again I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between the two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.
1 Y TORNÉME, y alcé mis ojos y miré, y he aquí cuatro carros que salían de entre dos montes; y aquellos montes eran de metal.
1 Again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of bronze.
2 In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
2 En el primer carro había caballos bermejos, y en el segundo carro caballos negros,
2 In the first chariot were red horses. In the second chariot were black horses.
3 and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grizzled bay horses.
3 Y en el tercer carro caballos blancos, y en el cuarto carro caballos overos ruciorodados.
3 In the third chariot were white horses. In the fourth chariot were dappled horses, all of them powerful.
4 Then I answered and said unto the angel that spoke with me: 'What are these, my lord?'
4 Respondí entonces, y dije al ángel que conmigo hablaba: Señor mío, ¿qué es esto?
4 Then I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?”
5 And the angel answered and said unto me: 'These chariots go forth to the four winds of heaven, after presenting themselves before the Lord of all the earth.
5 Y el ángel me respondió, y díjome: Estos son los cuatro vientos de los cielos, que salen de donde están delante del Señor de toda la tierra.
5 The angel answered me, “These are the four winds of the sky, which go out from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
6 That 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;
6 En el que estaban los caballos negros, salieron hacia la tierra del aquilón; y los blancos salieron tras ellos; y lo overos salieron hacia la tierra del mediodía.
6 The one with the black horses goes out toward the north country; and the white went out after them; and the dappled went out toward the south country.”
7 and the bay went forth'. And they 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.
7 Y los rucios salieron, y se afanaron por ir á recorrer la tierra. Y dijo: Id, recorred la tierra. Y recorrieron la tierra.
7 The strong went out, and sought to go that they might walk back and forth through the earth. He said, “Go around and through the earth!” So they walked back and forth through the earth.
8 Then cried he upon me, and spoke unto me, saying: 'Behold, they that go toward the north country have eased My spirit in the north country.'
8 Luego me llamó, y hablóme diciendo: Mira, los que salieron hacia la tierra del aquilón hicieron reposar mi espíritu en la tierra del aquilón.
8 Then he called to me, and spoke to me, saying, “Behold, those who go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.”
9 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
9 Y fué á mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:
9 Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
10 'Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, that are come from Babylon; and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah;
10 Toma de los del cautiverio, de Heldai, y de Tobías, y de Jedaía, los cuales volvieron de Babilonia; y vendrás tú en aquel día, y entrarás en casa de Josías hijo de Sefanías;
10 “Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah; and come the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, where they have come from Babylon.
11 yea, take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set the one upon the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest;
11 Tomarás pues plata y oro, y harás coronas, y las pondrás en la cabeza del gran sacerdote Josué, hijo de Josadac;
11 Yes, take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest;
12 and speak unto him, saying: Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying: Behold, a man whose name is the Shoot, and who shall shoot up out of his place, and build the temple of the LORD;
12 Y le hablarás, diciendo: Así ha hablado Jehová de los ejércitos, diciendo: He aquí el varón cuyo nombre es Pimpollo, el cual germinará de su lugar, y edificará el templo de Jehová:
12 and speak to him, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies says, “Behold, the man whose name is the Branch! He will grow up out of his place; and he will build Yahweh’s temple.
13 even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and there shall be a priest before his throne; and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
13 El edificará el templo de Jehová, y él llevará gloria, y se sentará y dominará en su trono, y será sacerdote en su solio; y consejo de paz será entre ambos á dos.
13 He will build Yahweh’s temple. He will bear the glory, and will sit and rule on his throne. He will be a priest on his throne. The counsel of peace will be between them both.
14 And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, as a memorial in the temple of the LORD.
14 Y Helem, y Tobías, y Jedaía, y Hen, hijo de Sefanías, tendrán coronas por memorial en el templo de Jehová.
14 The crowns shall be to Helem, to Tobijah, to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in Yahweh’s temple.
15 And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. And it shall come to pass, if ye will diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD your God — .'
15 Y los que están lejos vendrán y edificarán en el templo de Jehová, y conoceréis que Jehová de los ejércitos me ha enviado á vosotros. Y será [esto], si oyereis obedientes la voz de Jehová vuestro Dios.
15 Those who are far off shall come and build in Yahweh’s temple; and you shall know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you. This will happen, if you will diligently obey Yahweh your God’s voice.”’”
