撒迦利亞書 3

1 天使又指給我看：大祭司約書亞站在耶和華的使者面前；撒但也站在約書亞的右邊，與他作對。

Then the Lord showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing on his right accusing him.

2 耶和華向撒但說：「撒但哪，耶和華責備你！就是揀選耶路撒冷的耶和華責備你！這不是從火中抽出來的一根柴嗎？」

And the Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebukes you Satan. I, the Lord who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you. Isn't he like a half-burned stick snatched from the fire?”

3 約書亞穿着污穢的衣服站在使者面前。

Joshua was wearing filthy clothes as he stood in front of the angel.

4 使者吩咐站在面前的說：「你們要脫去他污穢的衣服」；又對約書亞說：「我使你脫離罪孽，要給你穿上華美的衣服。」

The angel said to those standing there, “Take off his filthy clothes.” Then he said to Joshua, “See how I have taken away your sins from you, and now I am dressing you with fine clothes.”

5 我說：「要將潔淨的冠冕戴在他頭上。」他們就把潔淨的冠冕戴在他頭上，給他穿上華美的衣服，耶和華的使者在旁邊站立。

Then I said, “Wrap a clean turban around his head.” So they wrapped a clean turban around his head and put the clothes on him while the angel of the Lord stood there.

6 耶和華的使者告誡約書亞說：

Then the angel of the Lord solemnly advised Joshua, saying,

7 「萬軍之耶和華如此說：你若遵行我的道，謹守我的命令，你就可以管理我的家，看守我的院宇；我也要使你在這些站立的人中間來往。

“This is what the Lord Almighty says: If you follow my ways and observe my commands, then you will govern my Temple and its courtyards. I will allow you to walk among those standing here.

8 大祭司約書亞啊，你和坐在你面前的同伴都當聽。（他們是作預兆的。）我必使我僕人大衛的苗裔發出。

Pay attention, high priest Joshua and all your fellow-priests that you teach! You are a sign of good things to come. Look! I am going to bring my servant, the Branch.

9 看哪，我在約書亞面前所立的石頭，在一塊石頭上有七眼。萬軍之耶和華說：我要親自雕刻這石頭，並要在一日之間除掉這地的罪孽。

See that I have placed a precious stone in front of Joshua, a single stone with seven faces. Watch, for I myself am going to engrave seven eyes on it, declares the Lord Almighty, and I will wipe away the sins of this land in a single day.

10 當那日，你們各人要請鄰舍坐在葡萄樹和無花果樹下。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。」

On that day everyone will invite their friends to sit in peace under their vines and fig trees, says the Lord Almighty.”
