< Zacharias 3 >

1 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.
وَأَرَانِي يَهُوشَعَ ٱلْكَاهِنَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ قَائِمًا قُدَّامَ مَلَاكِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَٱلشَّيْطَانُ قَائِمٌ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ لِيُقَاوِمَهُ.١
2 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?
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلشَّيْطَانِ: «لِيَنْتَهِرْكَ ٱلرَّبُّ يَا شَيْطَانُ! لِيَنْتَهِرْكَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي ٱخْتَارَ أُورُشَلِيمَ! أَفَلَيْسَ هَذَا شُعْلَةً مُنْتَشَلَةً مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ؟».٢
3 Now Jesus was clothed in filthy raiment, and stood before the angel.
وَكَانَ يَهُوشَعُ لَابِسًا ثِيَابًا قَذِرَةً وَوَاقِفًا قُدَّامَ ٱلْمَلَاكِ.٣
4 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,
فَأَجَابَ وَكَلَّمَ ٱلْوَاقِفِينَ قُدَّامَهُ قَائِلًا: «ٱنْزِعُوا عَنْهُ ٱلثِّيَابَ ٱلْقَذِرَةَ». وَقَالَ لَهُ: «ٱنْظُرْ. قَدْ أَذْهَبْتُ عَنْكَ إِثْمَكَ، وَأُلْبِسُكَ ثِيَابًا مُزَخْرَفَةً».٤
5 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].
فَقُلْتُ: «لِيَضَعُوا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ عِمَامَةً طَاهِرَةً». فَوَضَعُوا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ٱلْعِمَامَةَ ٱلطَّاهِرَةَ، وَأَلْبَسُوهُ ثِيَابًا وَمَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَاقِفٌ.٥
6 And the angel of the Lord testified to Jesus, saying,
فَأَشْهَدَ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى يَهُوشَعَ قَائِلًا:٦
7 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].
«هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ: إِنْ سَلَكْتَ فِي طُرُقِي، وَإِنْ حَفِظْتَ شَعَائِرِي، فَأَنْتَ أَيْضًا تَدِينُ بَيْتِي، وَتُحَافِظُ أَيْضًا عَلَى دِيَارِي، وَأُعْطِيكَ مَسَالِكَ بَيْنَ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْوَاقِفِينَ.٧
8 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.
فَٱسْمَعْ يَا يَهُوشَعُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ أَنْتَ وَرُفَقَاؤُكَ ٱلْجَالِسُونَ أَمَامَكَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ رِجَالُ آيَةٍ، لِأَنِّي هَأَنَذَا آتِي بِعَبْدِي «ٱلْغُصْنِ».٨
9 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.
فَهُوَذَا ٱلْحَجَرُ ٱلَّذِي وَضَعْتُهُ قُدَّامَ يَهُوشَعَ عَلَى حَجَرٍ وَاحِدٍ سَبْعُ أَعْيُنٍ. هَأَنَذَا نَاقِشٌ نَقْشَهُ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، وَأُزِيلُ إِثْمَ تِلْكَ ٱلْأَرْضِ فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ.٩
10 In that day, says the Lord Almighty, you shall call together every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.
فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، يُنَادِي كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ قَرِيبَهُ تَحْتَ ٱلْكَرْمَةِ وَتَحْتَ ٱلتِّينَةِ».١٠
