Zechariah 6

va'ashuv va'essa enay va'ereh vehinneh arba markavot yotse'ot mibben shene heharim veheharim hare nekhoshet

I looked up again, and I saw: Four chariots were coming out from between the two mountains; the mountains were of copper.

bammerkavah harishonah susim adummim uvammerkavah hashenit susim shekhorim

The horses of the first chariot were bay, the horses of the second chariot were black;

uvammerkavah hashelishit susim levanim uvammerkavah harevi'it susim beruddim amutsim

the horses of the third chariot were white, and the horses of the fourth chariot were spotted—dappled.

va'a'an va'omar el-hammalakh haddover bi mah-elleh adoni

And I spoke up and asked the angel who talked with me: “What are those, my lord?”

vayya'an hammalakh vayyomer elay elleh arba rukhot hashamayim yotse'ot mehityatsev al-adon kol-ha'arets

In reply, the angel said to me, “Those are the four winds of heaven coming out after presenting themselves to the Sovereign of all the earth.

asher-bah hassusim hashekhorim yotse'im el-erets tsafon vehallevanim yatse'u el-akharehem vehabberuddim yatse'u el-erets hatteman

The one with the black horses is going out to the region of the north; the white ones have gone out to what is to the west of them; the spotted ones have gone out to the region of the south;

veha'amutsim yatse'u vayevaqshu lalekhet lehithallekh ba'arets vayyomer lekhu hithallekhu va'arets vattithallakhnah ba'arets

and the dappled ones have gone out…” They were ready to start out and range the earth, and he gave them the order, “Start out and range the earth!” And they ranged the earth.

vayyazeq oti vayedabber elay lemor re'eh hayyotse'im el-erets tsafon henikhu et-rukhi be'erets tsafon

Then he alerted me, and said to me, “Take good note! Those that went out to the region of the north have done my pleasure in the region of the north.”

vayehi devar-Adonai elay lemor

The word of GOD came to me:

laqoakh me'et haggolah mekhelday ume'et toviyyah ume'et yedayah uvata attah bayyom hahu uvata bet yoshiyyah ven-tsefanyah asher-ba'u mibbavel

Receive from the exiled community—from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, who have come from Babylon—and you, in turn, proceed the same day to the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah.

velaqakhta khesef-vezahav ve'asita atarot vesamta berosh yehoshua ben-yehotsadaq hakkohen haggadol

Take silver and gold and make crowns. Place [one] on the head of High Priest Joshua son of Jehozadak,

ve'amarta elayw lemor koh amar Adonai tseva'ot lemor hinneh-ish tsemakh shemo umittakhtayw yitsmakh uvanah et-hekhal Adonai

and say to him, “Thus said GOD of Hosts: Behold, a man called the Branch shall branch out from the place where he is, and he shall build the Temple of GOD.

vehu yivneh et-hekhal Adonai vehu-yissa hod veyashav umashal al-kiso vehayah khohen al-kiso va'atsat shalom tihyeh ben shenehem

He shall build the Temple of GOD and shall assume majesty, and he shall sit on his throne and rule. And there shall also be a priest seated on his throne, and harmonious understanding shall prevail between them.”

veha'atarot tihyeh lekhelem uletoviyyah velidayah ulekhen ben-tsefanyah lezikkaron behekhal Adonai

The crowns shall remain in the Temple of GOD as a memorial to Helem, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and Hen son of Zephaniah.

urekhoqim yavo'u uvanu behekhal Adonai vidatem ki-Adonai tseva'ot shelakhani alekhem vehayah im-shamoa tishme'un beqol Adonai elohekhem

Peoples from far away shall come and take part in the building of the Temple of GOD, and you shall know that I have been sent to you by GOD of Hosts—if only you will obey the ETERNAL your God!
