Zakarias 3
1 Derpaa lod han mig se Ypperstepræsten Josua, og han stod foran HERRENS Engel, medens Satan stod ved hans højre Side for at føre Klage imod ham.
And the Lord revealed to me: Jesus the high priest, standing in the sight of the angel of the Lord. And Satan stood before his right hand, so as to be his adversary.
2 Men HERREN sagde til Satan: »HERREN true dig, Satan, HERREN true dig, han, som udvalgte Jerusalem. Er denne ikke en Brand, som er reddet ud af Ilden?«
And the Lord said to Satan, “May the Lord rebuke you, Satan! And may the Lord, who chose Jerusalem, rebuke you! Are you not a firebrand plucked from the fire?”
3 Josua havde snavsede Klæder paa og stod foran Engelen;
And Jesus was clothed with filthy garments. And he stood before the face of an angel.
4 men denne tog til Orde og sagde til dem, som stod ham til Tjeneste: »Tag de snavsede Klæder af ham!« Og til ham sagde han: »Se, jeg har taget din Skyld fra dig, og du skal have Højtidsklæder paa.«
He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, “Take away the filthy garments from him.” And he said to him, “Behold, I have taken away from you your iniquity, and I have clothed you with a change of clothing.”
5 Og han sagde: »Sæt et rent Hovedbind paa hans Hoved!« Og de satte et rent Hovedbind paa hans Hoved og gav ham rene Klæder paa. Saa traadte HERRENS Engel frem,
And he said, “Place a clean diadem on his head.” And they placed a clean diadem on his head, and they clothed him with garments. And the angel of the Lord remained standing.
6 og HERRENS Engel vidnede for Josua og sagde:
And the angel of the Lord contested with Jesus, saying:
7 Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Hvis du vandrer paa mine Veje og holder mine Forskrifter, skal du baade Raade i mit Hus og vogte mine Forgaarde, og jeg giver dig Gang og Sæde blandt dem, som staar her.
Thus says the Lord of hosts: If you will walk in my ways and keep my charge, you likewise will judge my house and will keep my courts, and I will give you some of those who now attend here to walk with you.
8 Hør, du Ypperstepræst Josua, du og dine Embedsbrødre, som sidder for dit Ansigt: de er Varselmænd! Thi se, jeg lader min Tjener Zemak komme.
Listen, Jesus the high priest, you and your friends, who dwell before you, who have been portending to men. For behold, I will lead my servant to the East.
9 Thi se, den Sten, jeg lægger hen for Josua — paa den ene Sten er syv Øjne — se, jeg rister selv dens Indskrift, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE, og paa een Dag udsletter jeg dette Lands Skyld.
For behold, the stone that I have bestowed before Jesus. Upon one stone, there are seven eyes. Behold, I will carve its engraving, says the Lord of hosts. And I will take away the iniquity of that land in one day.
10 Paa hin Dag, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE, skal I byde hverandre til Gæst under Vinstok og Figentræ.
On that day, says the Lord of hosts, every man will call his friend from under the vine and from under the fig tree.
