< 撒迦利亚书 3 >
1 天使又指给我看:大祭司约书亚站在耶和华的使者面前;撒但也站在约书亚的右边,与他作对。
And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.
2 耶和华向撒但说:“撒但哪,耶和华责备你!就是拣选耶路撒冷的耶和华责备你!这不是从火中抽出来的一根柴吗?”
And the LORD said to Satan, The LORD rebuke you, O Satan; even the LORD that has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.
4 使者吩咐站在面前的说:“你们要脱去他污秽的衣服”;又对约书亚说:“我使你脱离罪孽,要给你穿上华美的衣服。”
And he answered and spoke to those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And to him he said, Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with change of raiment.
5 我说:“要将洁净的冠冕戴在他头上。”他们就把洁净的冠冕戴在他头上,给他穿上华美的衣服,耶和华的使者在旁边站立。
And I said, Let them set a fair turban on his head. So they set a fair turban on his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD stood by.
And the angel of the LORD protested to Joshua, saying,
7 “万军之耶和华如此说:你若遵行我的道,谨守我的命令,你就可以管理我的家,看守我的院宇;我也要使你在这些站立的人中间来往。
Thus says the LORD of hosts; If you will walk in my ways, and if you will keep my charge, then you shall also judge my house, and shall also keep my courts, and I will give you places to walk among these that stand by.
8 大祭司约书亚啊,你和坐在你面前的同伴都当听。(他们是作预兆的。)我必使我仆人大卫的苗裔发出。
Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you, and your fellows that sit before you: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH.
9 看哪,我在约书亚面前所立的石头,在一块石头上有七眼。万军之耶和华说:我要亲自雕刻这石头,并要在一日之间除掉这地的罪孽。
For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; on one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the engraving thereof, says the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
10 当那日,你们各人要请邻舍坐在葡萄树和无花果树下。这是万军之耶和华说的。”
In that day, says the LORD of hosts, shall you call every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.
