Zakarias 3

1 Og han lod mig se Ypperstepræsten Josua, der stod for Herrens Engels Ansigt, og Satan, der stod ved hans højre Haand for at staa ham imod.

And the Lord showed me Jesus the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and the Devil stood on his right hand to resist him.

2 Og Herren sagde til Satan: Herren true dig, Satan! ja, Herren true dig, han, som udvælger Jerusalem; er ikke denne en Brand, som er reddet af Ilden?

And the Lords said to the Devil, The Lord rebuke you, O Devil, even the Lord that has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you: behold! is not this as a brand plucked from the fire?

3 Og Josua var iført skidne Klæder, der han stod for Engelens Ansigt.

Now Jesus was clothed in filthy raiment, and stood before the angel.

4 Da svarede han og sagde til dem, som stode for hans Ansigt: Tager de skidne Klæder af ham; derefter sagde han til ham: Se, jeg har borttaget din Skyld fra dig og ifører dig Helligdagsklæder!

And [the Lord] answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy raiment from him: and he said to him, Behold, I have taken away your iniquities: and clothe you him with a long robe,

5 Og jeg sagde: Lad dem sætte en ren Præstehue paa hans Hoved; og de satte en ren Præstehue paa hans Hoved og iførte ham Klæder, og Herrens Engel stod hos.

and place a pure mitre upon his head. So they placed a pure mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments: and the angel of the Lord stood [by].

6 Og Herrens Engel vidnede for Josua og sagde:

And the angel of the Lord testified to Jesus, saying,

7 Saa siger den Herre Zebaoth: Dersom du vandrer i mine Veje, og dersom du tager Vare paa, hvad jeg har givet dig at varetage, da skal du baade dømme mit Hus og tage Vare paa mine Forgaarde; og jeg vil give dig Gang iblandt disse, som staa her.

Thus says the Lord Almighty; If you will walk in my ways, and take heed to my charges, then shall you judge my house: and if you will diligently keep my court, then will I give you men to walk in the midst of these that stand [here].

8 Hør dog, Josua, du Ypperstepræst: Du og dine Venner, som sidde for dit Ansigt, ere Mænd til Forbillede; thi se, jeg vil lade min Tjener Zemak komme.

Hear now, Jesus the high priest, you, and your neighbours that are sitting before [you]: for they are diviners, for, behold, I bring forth my servant The Branch.

9 Thi se, Stenen, som jeg har lagt for Josuas Ansigt, over een Sten ere syv Øjne; se, jeg udgraver Udgravningen paa den, siger den Herre Zebaoth, og jeg vil borttage dette Lands Skyld paa een Dag.

For [as for] the stone which I have set before the face of Jesus, on the one stone are seven eyes: behold, I am digging a trench, says the Lord Almighty, and I will search out all the iniquity of that land in one day.

10 Paa den Dag, siger den Herre Zebaoth, skulle I kalde, den ene den anden, hen under Vintræet og hen under Figentræet.

In that day, says the Lord Almighty, you shall call together every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.
