  • Et respondit angelus, et ait ad me : Isti sunt quatuor venti caeli, qui egrediuntur ut stent coram Dominatore omnis terrae.
    And the angel answered, and said to me: These are the four winds of the heaven, which go forth to stand before the Lord of all the earth.
  • In qua erant equi nigri, egrediebantur in terram aquilonis : et albi egressi sunt post eos, et varii egressi sunt ad terram austri.
    That in which were the black horses went forth into the land of the north, and the white went forth after them: and the grisled went forth to the land of the south.
  • Qui autem erant robustissimi, exierunt, et quaerebant ire et discurrere per omnem terram. Et dixit : Ite, perambulate terram : et perambulaverunt terram.

    Take of them of the captivity, of Holdai, and of Tobias, and of Idaias; thou shalt come in that day, and shalt go into the house of Josias, the son of Sophonias, who came out of Babylon.

  • et loqueris ad eum, dicens : Haec ait Dominus exercituum, dicens : Ecce vir, Oriens nomen ejus, et subter eum orietur, et aedificabit templum Domino.
    And thou shalt speak to him, saying: Thus saith the Lord of hosts, saying: BEHOLD A MAN, THE ORIENT IS HIS NAME: and under him shall he spring up, and shall build a temple to the Lord.
  • Et ipse exstruet templum Domino : et ipse portabit gloriam, et sedebit, et dominabitur super solio suo : et erit sacerdos super solio suo, et consilium pacis erit inter illos duos.
    Yea, he shall build a temple to 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.
