< Zechariah 3 >

1 And the Lord shewed me Jesus the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord: and Satan stood on his right hand to be his adversary.
وَأَرَانِي يَهُوشَعَ ٱلْكَاهِنَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ قَائِمًا قُدَّامَ مَلَاكِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَٱلشَّيْطَانُ قَائِمٌ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ لِيُقَاوِمَهُ.١
2 And the Lord said to Satan: The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan: and the Lord that chose Jerusalem rebuke thee: Is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلشَّيْطَانِ: «لِيَنْتَهِرْكَ ٱلرَّبُّ يَا شَيْطَانُ! لِيَنْتَهِرْكَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلَّذِي ٱخْتَارَ أُورُشَلِيمَ! أَفَلَيْسَ هَذَا شُعْلَةً مُنْتَشَلَةً مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ؟».٢
3 And Jesus was clothed with filthy garments: and he stood before the face of the angel.
وَكَانَ يَهُوشَعُ لَابِسًا ثِيَابًا قَذِرَةً وَوَاقِفًا قُدَّامَ ٱلْمَلَاكِ.٣
4 Who answered, and said to them that stood before him, saying: Take away the filthy garments from him. And he said to him: Behold I have taken away thy iniquity, and have clothed thee with change of garments.
فَأَجَابَ وَكَلَّمَ ٱلْوَاقِفِينَ قُدَّامَهُ قَائِلًا: «ٱنْزِعُوا عَنْهُ ٱلثِّيَابَ ٱلْقَذِرَةَ». وَقَالَ لَهُ: «ٱنْظُرْ. قَدْ أَذْهَبْتُ عَنْكَ إِثْمَكَ، وَأُلْبِسُكَ ثِيَابًا مُزَخْرَفَةً».٤
5 And he said: Put a clean mitre upon his head: and they put a clean mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments, and the angel of the Lord stood.
فَقُلْتُ: «لِيَضَعُوا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ عِمَامَةً طَاهِرَةً». فَوَضَعُوا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ٱلْعِمَامَةَ ٱلطَّاهِرَةَ، وَأَلْبَسُوهُ ثِيَابًا وَمَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ وَاقِفٌ.٥
6 And the angel of the Lord protested to Jesus, saying:
فَأَشْهَدَ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى يَهُوشَعَ قَائِلًا:٦
7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: If thou wilt walk in my ways, and Beep my charge, thou also shalt judge my house, and shalt keep my courts, and I will give thee some of them that are now present here to walk with thee.
«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, O Jesus thou high priest, then and thy friends that dwell before thee, for they are portending men: for behold I WILL BRING MY SERVANT THE ORIENT.
فَٱسْمَعْ يَا يَهُوشَعُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ أَنْتَ وَرُفَقَاؤُكَ ٱلْجَالِسُونَ أَمَامَكَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ رِجَالُ آيَةٍ، لِأَنِّي هَأَنَذَا آتِي بِعَبْدِي «ٱلْغُصْنِ».٨
9 For behold the stone that I have laid before Jesus: upon one stone there are seven eyes: behold I will grave the graving thereof, saith the Lord of hosts: and I will take away 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, saith the Lord of hosts, every man shell call his friend under the vine and under the fig tree.
فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، يُنَادِي كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ قَرِيبَهُ تَحْتَ ٱلْكَرْمَةِ وَتَحْتَ ٱلتِّينَةِ».١٠
