Zechariah 3
1 Then the angel showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, with Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him.
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.
2 And the LORD said to Satan: “The LORD rebukes you, Satan! Indeed, the LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebukes you! Is not this man a firebrand snatched from the fire?”
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?«
3 Now Joshua was dressed in filthy garments as he stood before the angel.
Josua havde snavsede Klæder paa og stod foran Engelen;
4 So the angel said to those standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes!” Then he said to Joshua, “See, I have removed your iniquity, and I will clothe you with splendid robes.”
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.«
5 Then I said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head.” So a clean turban was placed on his head, and they clothed him, as the angel of the LORD stood by.
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,
6 Then the angel of the LORD gave this charge to Joshua:
og HERRENS Engel vidnede for Josua og sagde:
7 “This is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘If you walk in My ways and keep My instructions, then you will govern My house and will also have charge of My courts; and I will give you a place among these who are standing here.
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.
8 Hear now, O high priest Joshua, you and your companions seated before you, who are indeed a sign. For behold, I am going to bring My servant, the Branch.
Hør, du Ypperstepræst Josua, du og dine Embedsbrødre, som sidder for dit Ansigt: de er Varselmænd! Thi se, jeg lader min Tjener Zemak komme.
9 See the stone I have set before Joshua; on that one stone are seven eyes. Behold, I will engrave on it an inscription, declares the LORD of Hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of this land in a single day.
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.
10 On that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, you will each invite your neighbor to sit under your own vine and fig tree.’”
Paa hin Dag, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE, skal I byde hverandre til Gæst under Vinstok og Figentræ.
