1 And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass. 2 In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses; 3 And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses. 4 Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord? 5 And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth. 6 The black horses which are therein go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth toward the south country. 7 And the bay 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. 8 Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.
9 ¶ And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 10 Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which are come from Babylon, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah; 11 Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest; 12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD 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 the LORD: 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 he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall 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, for a memorial in the temple of the LORD. 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 this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.

Саккизинчи ваҳий: тўртта арава
1 Мен яна тепага қараб, иккита бронза тоғ орасидан чиқиб келаётган тўртта аравани кўрдим. 2 Биринчи аравани қизғиш, иккинчи аравани эса қора отлар, 3 учинчи аравани оқ, тўртинчи аравани эса ола–була отлар тортиб келаётган эди. Бу отларнинг ҳаммаси кучли эди. 4 Мен билан гаплашаётган фариштадан:
— Эй тўрам, булар нима? — деб сўрадим. 5 Фаришта шундай жавоб берди:
— Булар бутун олам Раббийсининг ҳузуридан чиқиб келаётган тўртта самовий руҳдир. 6 Қора отли арава шимолга боради. Оқ отлиси эса унинг орқасидан кетади . Ола–була отли арава жанубга боради.
7 Ана шу кучли отлар чиқиб келиб, ерни айланишга шошилдилар. Фаришта уларга:
— Боринглар, ерни кўриб чиқинглар, — деди. Шунда улар ерни айланиб келишди. 8 Кейин фаришта мени чақириб, шундай деди:
— Мана, қара! Отлар шимолдаги юртга боришди. У ерда Эгамизнинг иродасини адо этишди, Эгамиз жаҳлидан тушди .
Ёшуага тож кийдириш ҳақида амр
9 Эгамиз менга қуйидаги сўзларни аён қилди:
10 — Бобилдаги сургундан қайтиб келган Халдай, Тўвиё ва Ёдаёдан тилла ва кумуш ол. Ўша куниёқ Зафаниё ўғли Йўшиёнинг уйига бор. 11 Берилган кумуш ва олтиндан тож ясагин. Уни Ёҳузадах ўғли — олий руҳоний Ёшуанинг бошига кийгизгин–да, 12 унга шундай дегин: “Сарвари Олам шундай демоқда: Новда деган одам ўз турган жойидан шохлайди–да, Менинг Маъбадимни қуради. 13 Ҳа, Менинг Маъбадимни қурадиган ўшадир. У шоҳона улуғворликка эга бўлиб, ҳукмронлик қилади. Тахтининг олдида руҳоний туради . Иккаласи орасида тинчлик, осойишталик бўлади. 14 Бу тож Халдай , Тўвиё, Ёдаё ва Зафаниё ўғли Йўшиёнинг қарамоғида бўлади. У Менинг Маъбадимда ёдгорлик бўлиб қолади. 15 Узоқ жойлардан одамлар келиб, Менинг Маъбадимни қуришга ёрдам беришади.”
Эй сургундан қайтиб келганлар! Шунда Сарвари Олам мени юборганини сизлар англаб етасизлар. Агар сизлар Эгангиз Худонинг сўзларига яхшилаб қулоқ солсангизлар, мана шуларнинг ҳаммаси содир бўлади.
