Zaharija 3

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

And he shewed me, Joshua the high priest, standing before the messenger of Yahweh, —and, the Accuser, 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?”

Then said Yahweh unto the Accuser, Yahweh rebuke thee, O Accuser, Yea Yahweh rebuke thee, he who is choosing Jerusalem, —Is not, this, a brand snatched out of the fire?

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

Now, Joshua, was clothed with filthy garments, —though standing before the messenger.

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!”

Then responded he and spake unto those who were standing before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from off him; and he said unto him, See! I have caused to pass from off thee, thine iniquity, And will cause thee to be clothed in robes of state.

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 said I, Let them put a clean turban upon his head, —So they put the clean turban upon his head, and clothed him with garments, and, the messenger of Yahweh, was standing up.

6 I anđeo Jahvin upozori Jošuu:

So then the messenger of Yahweh did solemnly affirm unto Joshua, saying:

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.

Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, If, in my ways, thou wilt walk, and if, of my charge, thou wilt keep charge, Then, even thou, shalt govern my house, Moreover also, thou shalt have charge of my courts, —and I will give thee free access among these who stand by.

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, I pray thee, O Joshua the high priest, thou and thy friends who are sitting before thee, for, men to serve as signs, they are, —For behold me! bringing in my servant, the Bud;

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.

For lo! the stone which I have set before Joshua, Upon one stone, are Seven (pairs of) Eyes, —Behold me! cutting the engraving thereof, declareth Yahweh of hosts. So will I take away the iniquity of that land in one day.

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

In that day, declareth Yahweh of hosts, Ye shall invite one another, —[to come] under the vine and under the fig-tree.
