| [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]וָאָשֻׁב וָאֶשָּׂא עֵינַי וָאֶרְאֶה וְהִנֵּה אַרְבַּע מַרְכָּבֹות יֹצְאֹות מִבֵּין שְׁנֵי הֶהָרִים וְהֶהָרִים הָרֵי נְחֹשֶׁת׃ |
| [2]In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses; |
[2]בַּמֶּרְכָּבָה הָרִאשֹׁנָה סוּסִים אֲדֻמִּים וּבַמֶּרְכָּבָה הַשֵּׁנִית סוּסִים שְׁחֹרִים׃ |
| [3]And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grizzled bay horses. |
[3]וּבַמֶּרְכָּבָה הַשְּׁלִשִׁית סוּסִים לְבָנִים וּבַמֶּרְכָּבָה הָרְבִעִית סוּסִים בְּרֻדִּים אֲמֻצִּים׃ |
| [4]Then I answered and said unto the angel that spoke with me: 'What are these, my lord?' |
[4]וָאַעַן וָאֹמַר אֶל־הַמַּלְאָךְ הַדֹּבֵר בִּי מָה־אֵלֶּה אֲדֹנִי׃ |
| [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]וַיַּעַן הַמַּלְאָךְ וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָי אֵלֶּה אַרְבַּע רֻחֹות הַשָּׁמַיִם יֹוצְאֹות מֵהִתְיַצֵּב עַל־אֲדֹון כָּל־הָאָרֶץ׃ |
| [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]אֲשֶׁר־בָּהּ הַסּוּסִים הַשְּׁחֹרִים יֹצְאִים אֶל־אֶרֶץ צָפֹון וְהַלְּבָנִים יָצְאוּ אֶל־אַחֲרֵיהֶם וְהַבְּרֻדִּים יָצְאוּ אֶל־אֶרֶץ הַתֵּימָן׃ |
| [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]וְהָאֲמֻצִּים יָצְאוּ וַיְבַקְשׁוּ לָלֶכֶת לְהִתְהַלֵּךְ בָּאָרֶץ וַיֹּאמֶר לְכוּ הִתְהַלְּכוּ בָאָרֶץ וַתִּתְהַלַּכְנָה בָּאָרֶץ׃ |
| [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]וַיַּזְעֵק אֹתִי וַיְדַבֵּר אֵלַי לֵאמֹר רְאֵה הַיֹּוצְאִים אֶל־אֶרֶץ צָפֹון הֵנִיחוּ אֶת־רוּחִי בְּאֶרֶץ צָפֹון׃ |
| [9]And the word of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 came unto me, saying: |
[9]וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹר׃ |
| [10]'Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, 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]לָקֹוחַ מֵאֵת הַגֹּולָה מֵחֶלְדַּי וּמֵאֵת טֹובִיָּה וּמֵאֵת יְדַעְיָה וּבָאתָ אַתָּה בַּיֹּום הַהוּא וּבָאתָ בֵּית יֹאשִׁיָּה בֶן־צְפַנְיָה אֲשֶׁר־בָּאוּ מִבָּבֶל׃ |
| [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]וְלָקַחְתָּ כֶסֶף־וְזָהָב וְעָשִׂיתָ עֲטָרֹות וְשַׂמְתָּ בְּרֹאשׁ יְהֹושֻׁעַ בֶּן־יְהֹוצָדָק הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדֹול׃ |
| [12]And speak unto him, saying: Thu speaketh 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 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 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; |
[12]וְאָמַרְתָּ אֵלָיו לֵאמֹר כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאֹות לֵאמֹר הִנֵּה־אִישׁ צֶמַח שְׁמֹו וּמִתַּחְתָּיו יִצְמָח וּבָנָה אֶת־הֵיכַל יְהוָה׃ |
| [13]Even he shall build the temple of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; 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]וְהוּא יִבְנֶה אֶת־הֵיכַל יְהוָה וְהוּא־יִשָּׂא הֹוד וְיָשַׁב וּמָשַׁל עַל־כִּסְאֹו וְהָיָה כֹהֵן עַל־כִּסְאֹו וַעֲצַת שָׁלֹום תִּהְיֶה בֵּין שְׁנֵיהֶם׃ |
| [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 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇. |
[14]וְהָעֲטָרֹת תִּהְיֶה לְחֵלֶם וּלְטֹובִיָּה וְלִידַעְיָה וּלְחֵן בֶּן־צְפַנְיָה לְזִכָּרֹון בְּהֵיכַל יְהוָה׃ |
| [15]And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, and ye shall know that 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 of hosts hath sent me unto you. And it shall come to pass, if ye will diligently hearken to the voice of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 your God—.' |
[15]וּרְחֹוקִים יָבֹאוּ וּבָנוּ בְּהֵיכַל יְהוָה וִידַעְתֶּם כִּי־יְהוָה צְבָאֹות שְׁלָחַנִי אֲלֵיכֶם וְהָיָה אִם־שָׁמֹועַ תִּשְׁמְעוּן בְּקֹול יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם׃ |
