¹Again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.

¹Atter løftede jeg mine Øjne og skuede, og se, fire Vogne kom frem mellem de to Bjerge, og Bjergene var af Kobber.

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

²For den første Vogn var der røde Heste, for den anden sorte,

³in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot dappled horses, all of them powerful.

³for den tredje hvide og for den fjerde brogede.

⁴Then I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?”

⁴Jeg spurgte Engelen, som talte med mig: "Hvad betyder disse Herre?"

⁵The angel answered me, “These are the four winds of the sky, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.

⁵Og Engelen svarede: "Det er Himmelens fire Vinde, som drager ud efter at have fremstillet sig for al Jordens Herre.

⁶The one with the black horses goes out toward the north country; and the white went out after them; and the dappled went forth toward the south country.”

⁶Vognen med de sorte Heste for drager ud til Nordlandet, de hvide til Østlandet og de brogede til Sydlandet;

⁷The strong went out, and sought to go that they might walk back and forth through the earth: and he said, “Go around and through the earth!” So they walked back and forth through the earth.

⁷de røde drager mod Vest. Og de var ivrige efter at komme af Sted for at drage ud over Jorden. Da sagde han: "Af Sted; drag ud over Jorden!" Og de drog ud over Jorden.

⁸Then 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.”

⁸Så kaldte han på mig og talte således til mig: "Se, de, som drager ud til Nordlandet, lader min Ånd dale ned over Nordens Land."

⁹The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

⁹HERRENs Ord kom til mig således:

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.

¹⁰Tag imod Gaver fra de landflygtige, fra Heldaj, Tobija og Jedaja; endnu i Dag skal du gå indtil Josjija, Zefanjas Søn, som er kommet fra Babel,

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

¹¹og modtage Sølv og Guld. Lad så lave en Krone og sæt den på Josuas Hoved

¹²and speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh of Armies, “Behold, the man whose name is the Branch: and he shall grow up out of his place; and he shall build Yahweh’s temple;

¹²med de Ord: "Så siger Hærskarers HERRE: Se, der kommer en Mand, hvis Navn er Zemak under ham skal det spire, og han skal bygge HERRENs Helligdom.

¹³even he shall build Yahweh’s temple; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule on his throne; and he shall be a priest on his throne; and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.

¹³Han skal bygge HERRENs Helligdom, og han skal vinde Højhed og sidde som Hersker på sin Trone: og han skal være Præst ved hans højre Side, og der skal være fuld Enighed mellem de to.

¹⁴The crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in Yahweh’s temple.

¹⁴Men Kronen skal blive i HERRENs Helligdom til Minde om Heldaj, Tobija, Jedaja og Hen, Zefanjas Søn.

¹⁵Those 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 the voice of Yahweh your God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” .”’”

¹⁵Langvejs fra skal man komme og bygge på HERRENs Helligdom; og I skal kende, at Hærskarers HERRE har sendt mig til eder. Og dersom I adlyder HERREN eders Gud - - -
