< Zechariah 3 >

1 And he shewed mee Iehoshua the hie Priest, standing before the Angel of the Lord, and Satan stoode at his right hand to resist him.
天使又指给我看:大祭司约书亚站在耶和华的使者面前;撒但也站在约书亚的右边,与他作对。
2 And the Lord said vnto Satan, The Lord reprooue thee, O Satan: euen the Lord that hath chosen Ierusalem, reprooue thee. Is not this a brand taken out of the fire?
耶和华向撒但说:“撒但哪,耶和华责备你!就是拣选耶路撒冷的耶和华责备你!这不是从火中抽出来的一根柴吗?”
3 Nowe Iehoshua was clothed with filthie garments, and stoode before the Angel.
约书亚穿着污秽的衣服站在使者面前。
4 And he answered and spake vnto those that stoode before him, saying, Take away the filthie garments from him. And vnto him hee saide, Behold, I haue caused thine iniquitie to depart from thee, and I wil clothe thee with change of raiment.
使者吩咐站在面前的说:“你们要脱去他污秽的衣服”;又对约书亚说:“我使你脱离罪孽,要给你穿上华美的衣服。”
5 And I saide, Let them set a faire diademe vpon his head. So they set a faire diademe vpon his head, and clothed him with garments, and the Angel of the Lord stoode by.
我说:“要将洁净的冠冕戴在他头上。”他们就把洁净的冠冕戴在他头上,给他穿上华美的衣服,耶和华的使者在旁边站立。
6 And the Angel of the Lord testified vnto Iehoshua, saying,
耶和华的使者告诫约书亚说:
7 Thus saith the Lord of hostes, If thou wilt walke in my wayes, and keepe my watch, thou shalt also iudge mine House, and shalt also keepe my courtes, and I will giue thee place among these that stand by.
“万军之耶和华如此说:你若遵行我的道,谨守我的命令,你就可以管理我的家,看守我的院宇;我也要使你在这些站立的人中间来往。
8 Heare now, O Iehoshua the hie Priest, thou and thy fellowes that sit before thee: for they are monstruous persons: but behold, I wil bring forth the Branche my seruant.
大祭司约书亚啊,你和坐在你面前的同伴都当听。(他们是作预兆的。)我必使我仆人大卫的苗裔发出。
9 For loe, the stone that I haue layd before Iehoshua: vpon one stone shalbe seuen eyes: beholde, I will cut out the grauing thereof, saith the Lord of hostes, and I will take away the iniquitie of this land in one day.
看哪,我在约书亚面前所立的石头,在一块石头上有七眼。万军之耶和华说:我要亲自雕刻这石头,并要在一日之间除掉这地的罪孽。
10 In that day, saith the Lord of hostes, shall ye call euery man his neighbour vnder the vine, and vnder the figge tree.
当那日,你们各人要请邻舍坐在葡萄树和无花果树下。这是万军之耶和华说的。”
