< 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 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 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 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 約書亞穿着污穢的衣服站在使者面前。
Joshua was dressed in filthy garments as he stood 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。」
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 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, “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 耶和華的使者告誡約書亞說:
Next the angel of Yahweh solemnly commanded Joshua and said,
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。
“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 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。
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。
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 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—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts—each man will invite his neighbor to sit under his vine and under his fig tree.”
