< Zechariah 3 >
1 And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse 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 unto Satan: 'The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan, yea, the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee; is not this man a brand plucked 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 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.
约书亚穿着污秽的衣服站在使者面前。
4 And he answered and spoke unto those that stood before him, saying: 'Take the filthy garments from off him.' And unto him he said: 'Behold, I cause thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with robes.'
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 said: 'Let them set a fair mitre upon his head.' So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments; and the angel of the LORD stood 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 forewarned Joshua, saying:
耶和华的使者告诫约书亚说:
7 'Thus saith the LORD of hosts: If thou wilt walk in My ways, and if thou wilt keep My charge, and wilt also judge My house, and wilt also keep My courts, then I will give thee free access 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 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou and thy fellows that sit before thee; for they are men that are a sign; for, behold, I will bring forth My servant the Shoot.
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 behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone are seven facets; behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts: And I will remove the iniquity of that 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 hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig-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。”
