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 he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at 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 LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke you, O Satan; even the LORD that has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
3 Og Josua var iført skidne Klæder, der han stod for Engelens Ansigt.
Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, 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 he answered and spoke unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with change of raiment.
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 I said, Let them set a fair turban upon his head. So they set a fair turban 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 protested unto Joshua, 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 of hosts; If you will walk in my ways, and if you will keep my charge, then you shall also judge my house, and shall also keep my courts, and I will give you places to walk among these that stand by.
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, O Joshua the high priest, you, and your fellows that sit before you: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will 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 behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, says the LORD of hosts, and I will remove 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 of hosts, shall all of you call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.
