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。

He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the LORD’s angel, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary.

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 LORD said to Satan, “The LORD rebuke you, Satan! Yes, the LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn’t this a burning stick plucked out of the fire?”

3 那時耶叔亞身穿污穢的衣服，站在使者的面前。

Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing 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。」

He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, “Take the filthy garments off him.” To him he said, “Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich 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。

I said, “Let them set a clean turban on his head.” So they set a clean turban on his head, and clothed him; and the LORD’s angel was standing by.

6 上主的使者便勸耶叔亞說：「

The LORD’s angel solemnly assured 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。」

“The LORD of Hosts says: ‘If you will walk in my ways, and if you will follow my instructions, then you also shall judge my house, and shall also keep my courts, and I will give you a place of access among these who 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, Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows who sit before you, for they are men who are a sign; for, behold, I will bring out 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 set before Joshua: on one stone are seven eyes; behold, I will engrave its inscription,’ says 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,’ says the LORD of Hosts, ‘you will invite every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.’”
