< 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。
Then Yahweh showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of Yahweh and Satan was standing at his right hand to accuse him of sin.
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﹖﹖」
The angel of Yahweh said to Satan, “May Yahweh rebuke you, Satan; may Yahweh, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is this not a brand pulled from the fire?”
3 那時耶叔亞身穿污穢的衣服,站在使者的面前。
Joshua was dressed in filthy garments as he 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。」
The angel spoke and said to those who stood before him, “Remove the filthy garments from upon him.” Then he said to Joshua, “Look! I have caused your iniquity to pass from you and I will dress you in fine clothing.”
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。
Then I said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head!” So they set a clean turban on Joshua's head and clothed him with clean garments, while the angel of Yahweh was standing by.
6 上主的使者便勸耶叔亞說:「
Next the angel of Yahweh solemnly commanded Joshua and said,
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。」
“Yahweh of hosts says this: If you will walk in my ways, and if you will keep my commandments, then you will govern my house and guard my courts, for I will allow you to go and come among these who stand before me.
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。
Listen, Joshua the high priest, you and your companions who live with you! For these men are a sign, for I myself will bring up 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。
Now look at the stone that I have set before Joshua. There are seven eyes on this single stone, and I will engrave an inscription—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts— and I will remove the sin from this 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—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts—each man will invite his neighbor to sit under his vine and under his fig tree.”
