Zaharija 3

1 Potom mi pokaza Jošuu, velikog svećenika, koji stajaše pred anđelom Jahvinim, i Satana, koji mu stajaše zdesna da ga tuži.

Then the angel showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, with Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him.

2 Anđeo Jahvin reče Satanu: “Suzbio te Jahve, Satane! Suzbio te Jahve koji izabra Jeruzalem! Nije li on glavnja iz ognja izvučena?”

And the LORD said to Satan: “The LORD rebukes you, Satan! Indeed, the LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebukes you! Is not this man a firebrand snatched from the fire?”

3 A Jošua bijaše obučen u prljave haljine dok stajaše pred anđelom Jahvinim.

Now Joshua was dressed in filthy garments as he stood before the angel.

4 Anđeo se obrati onima koji pred njim stajahu i reče im: “Skinite s njega te prljave haljine!” I reče mu: “Evo, skidam s tebe tvoju krivicu i odijevam te u dragocjenu haljinu!”

So the angel said to those standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes!” Then he said to Joshua, “See, I have removed your iniquity, and I will clothe you with splendid robes.”

5 I nastavi: “Stavite mu čist povez oko glave!” Oni mu staviše čist povez oko glave i odjenuše ga u dragocjene haljine u nazočnosti anđelovoj.

Then I said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head.” So a clean turban was placed on his head, and they clothed him, as the angel of the LORD stood by.

6 I anđeo Jahvin upozori Jošuu:

Then the angel of the LORD gave this charge to Joshua:

7 “Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: 'Ako budeš mojim putovima hodio i mojih se pridržavao naredaba, ti ćeš biti upravitelj u Domu mojemu, čuvat ćeš moja predvorja i dat ću ti pristup među one koji ondje stoje.

“This is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘If you walk in My ways and keep My instructions, then you will govern My house and will also have charge of My courts; and I will give you a place among these who are standing here.

8 Poslušaj, dakle, Jošua, veliki svećeniče, ti i drugovi tvoji koji su oko tebe, jer vi ste ljudi znamenja! Evo, ja ću dovesti Izdanak, Slugu svojega, i uklonit ću opačinu ove zemlje u jedan dan.

Hear now, O high priest Joshua, you and your companions seated before you, who are indeed a sign. For behold, I am going to bring My servant, the Branch.

9 Jer evo kamena koji stavljam pred Jošuu: na tom je kamenu sedam očiju i u nj ću urezati natpis' - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama.

See the stone I have set before Joshua; on that one stone are seven eyes. Behold, I will engrave on it an inscription, declares the LORD of Hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of this land in a single day.

10 'U dan onaj' - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama - 'pozivat ćete jedan drugoga pod lozu i pod smokvu.'”

On that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, you will each invite your neighbor to sit under your own vine and fig tree.’”
