< Zechariah 3 >

1 Then the Lord showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing on his right accusing him.
Potom mi pokaza Jošuu, velikog svećenika, koji stajaše pred anđelom Jahvinim, i Satana, koji mu stajaše zdesna da ga tuži.
2 And the Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebukes you Satan. I, the Lord who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you. Isn't he like a half-burned stick snatched from the fire?”
Anđeo Jahvin reče Satanu: “Suzbio te Jahve, Satane! Suzbio te Jahve koji izabra Jeruzalem! Nije li on glavnja iz ognja izvučena?”
3 Joshua was wearing filthy clothes as he stood in front of the angel.
A Jošua bijaše obučen u prljave haljine dok stajaše pred anđelom Jahvinim.
4 The angel said to those standing there, “Take off his filthy clothes.” Then he said to Joshua, “See how I have taken away your sins from you, and now I am dressing you with fine clothes.”
Anđeo se obrati onima koji pred njim stajahu i reče im: “Skinite s njega te prljave haljine!” I reče mu: “Evo, skidam s tebe tvoju krivicu i odijevam te u dragocjenu haljinu!”
5 Then I said, “Wrap a clean turban around his head.” So they wrapped a clean turban around his head and put the clothes on him while the angel of the Lord stood there.
I nastavi: “Stavite mu čist povez oko glave!” Oni mu staviše čist povez oko glave i odjenuše ga u dragocjene haljine u nazočnosti anđelovoj.
6 Then the angel of the Lord solemnly advised Joshua, saying,
I anđeo Jahvin upozori Jošuu:
7 “This is what the Lord Almighty says: If you follow my ways and observe my commands, then you will govern my Temple and its courtyards. I will allow you to walk among those standing here.
“Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: 'Ako budeš mojim putovima hodio i mojih se pridržavao naredaba, ti ćeš biti upravitelj u Domu mojemu, čuvat ćeš moja predvorja i dat ću ti pristup među one koji ondje stoje.
8 Pay attention, high priest Joshua and all your fellow-priests that you teach! You are a sign of good things to come. Look! I am going to bring my servant, the Branch.
Poslušaj, dakle, Jošua, veliki svećeniče, ti i drugovi tvoji koji su oko tebe, jer vi ste ljudi znamenja! Evo, ja ću dovesti Izdanak, Slugu svojega, i uklonit ću opačinu ove zemlje u jedan dan.
9 See that I have placed a precious stone in front of Joshua, a single stone with seven faces. Watch, for I myself am going to engrave seven eyes on it, declares the Lord Almighty, and I will wipe away the sins of this land in a single day.
Jer evo kamena koji stavljam pred Jošuu: na tom je kamenu sedam očiju i u nj ću urezati natpis' - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama.
10 On that day everyone will invite their friends to sit in peace under their vines and fig trees, says the Lord Almighty.”
'U dan onaj' - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama - 'pozivat ćete jedan drugoga pod lozu i pod smokvu.'”
