< 撒迦利亞書 3 >
1 [第四個神視:撒殫控告耶叔亞大司祭]以後上主使我看見大司祭耶叔亞,站在上主的使者面前,同時撒殫站在耶叔亞右邊控告他。
And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.
2 上主的使者對撒殫說:「惟願上主責斥你,撒殫! 惟願揀選耶路撒冷的上主責斥你。這不是由火中抽出來的一根木柴嗎﹖﹖」
And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: [is] not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.
4 使者就吩咐那些立在他面前的說:「脫去他身上污穢的衣服! 」以後向他說:「看,我已脫去了你的罪過,給你穿上華麗的禮服。」
And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.
5 隨後接著吩咐說:「在他頭上纏上一條潔淨的頭巾! 」他們就在他頭上纏上了一條潔淨的頭巾,給他穿上了潔淨的禮服。那時,上主的使者,站在旁邊。
And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD stood by.
And the angel of the LORD protested unto Joshua, saying,
7 萬軍的上主這樣說:如果你遵行我的道路,謹守我的法令,你便可以管理我的家,看守我的庭院;我必要使你在這些等立者中,自由出入。」
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by.
8 所以,大司祭耶叔亞,你且聽著:你和坐在你面前的同伴都是作預兆的人。攪,我必要使我的僕人「苖芽」生出。
Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they [are] men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH.
9 看,這是我在耶叔亞面前安置的石頭,在這惟一的石頭上有七隻眼睛;看! 我要親自在石上刻上題名──萬軍上主的斷語──並且要在那一天除去地上的罪過。
For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone [shall be] seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
10 在那一天──萬軍上主的斷語──你們必要互相邀請自己的鄰里,到葡萄樹和無花果樹下。
In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.
