< 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。
He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary.
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?」
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?"
Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before 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。」
He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, "Take the filthy garments off of him." To him he said, "Look, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich clothing."
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。
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 angel of the LORD was standing by.
The angel of the LORD protested to 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。
"Thus says the LORD of hosts: '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 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。
Hear now, Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows who sit before you; for they are men who are a sign: for, look, I will bring forth 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。
For, look, the stone that I have set before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes: look, I will engrave its engraving,' says the LORD of hosts, 'and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one 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。」
In that day,' says the LORD of hosts, 'you will invite every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.'"
