Zakarias 3

1 Derpå 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 he shows me Joshua the high priest standing before the Messenger of YHWH, and Satan standing at his right hand, to be an adversary to him.

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 YHWH says to Satan: “YHWH pushes against you, O Satan, Indeed, YHWH pushes against you, Who is fixing on Jerusalem, Is this not a brand delivered from fire?”

3 Josua havde snavsede Klæder på og stod foran Engelen;

And Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and is standing before the Messenger.

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 på."

And He answers and speaks to those standing before Him, saying, “Turn aside the filthy garments from off him.” And He says to him, “See, I have caused your iniquity to pass away from off you, so as to clothe you with costly apparel.”

5 Og han sagde: "Sæt et rent Hovedbind på hans Hoved!" Og de satte et rent Hovedbind på hans Hoved og gav ham rene Klæder på. Så trådte HERRENs Engel frem,

He also said, “Let them set a pure turban on his head.” And they set the pure turban on his head, and clothe him with garments. And the Messenger of YHWH is standing,

6 og HERRENs Engel vidnede for Josua og sagde:

and the Messenger of YHWH protests to Joshua, saying,

7 Så siger Hærskarers HERRE: Hvis du vandrer på mine Veje og holder mine Forskrifter, skal du både Råde i mit Hus og vogte mine Forgårde, og jeg giver dig Gang og Sæde blandt dem, som står her"

“Thus said YHWH of Hosts: If you walk in My ways, And if you keep My charge, Then also you judge My house, And also you keep My courts, And I have given to you conductors among these standing by.

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.

Now hear, O Joshua the high priest, You and your companions sitting before you (For men of type [are] they), For behold, I am bringing in My servant—a Shoot.

9 Thi se, den Sten, jeg lægger hen for Josua - på den ene Sten er syv Øjne - se, jeg rister selv dens Indskrift, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE, og på een Dag udsletter jeg dette Lands Skyld.

For behold, the stone that I put before Joshua, On one stone [are] seven eyes, Behold, I am engraving its engraving, A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, And I have removed the iniquity of that land in one day.

10 På hin Dag, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE, skal I byde hverandre til Gæst under Vinstok og Figenfræ.

In that day—a declaration of YHWH of Hosts, You call, each to his neighbor, To the place of the vine, And to the place of the fig tree!”
