< Zechariah 3 >
1 And he shows me Joshua the high priest standing before the Messenger of YHWH, and Satan standing at his right hand, to be an adversary to him.
[第四個神視:撒殫控告耶叔亞大司祭]以後上主使我看見大司祭耶叔亞,站在上主的使者面前,同時撒殫站在耶叔亞右邊控告他。
2 And YHWH says to Satan: “YHWH pushes against you, O Satan, Indeed, YHWH pushes against you, Who is fixing on Jerusalem, Is this not a brand delivered from fire?”
上主的使者對撒殫說:「惟願上主責斥你,撒殫! 惟願揀選耶路撒冷的上主責斥你。這不是由火中抽出來的一根木柴嗎﹖﹖」
3 And Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and is standing before the Messenger.
那時耶叔亞身穿污穢的衣服,站在使者的面前。
4 And He answers and speaks to those standing before Him, saying, “Turn aside the filthy garments from off him.” And He says to him, “See, I have caused your iniquity to pass away from off you, so as to clothe you with costly apparel.”
使者就吩咐那些立在他面前的說:「脫去他身上污穢的衣服! 」以後向他說:「看,我已脫去了你的罪過,給你穿上華麗的禮服。」
5 He also said, “Let them set a pure turban on his head.” And they set the pure turban on his head, and clothe him with garments. And the Messenger of YHWH is standing,
隨後接著吩咐說:「在他頭上纏上一條潔淨的頭巾! 」他們就在他頭上纏上了一條潔淨的頭巾,給他穿上了潔淨的禮服。那時,上主的使者,站在旁邊。
6 and the Messenger of YHWH protests to Joshua, saying,
上主的使者便勸耶叔亞說:「
7 “Thus said YHWH of Hosts: If you walk in My ways, And if you keep My charge, Then also you judge My house, And also you keep My courts, And I have given to you conductors among these standing by.
萬軍的上主這樣說:如果你遵行我的道路,謹守我的法令,你便可以管理我的家,看守我的庭院;我必要使你在這些等立者中,自由出入。」
8 Now hear, O Joshua the high priest, You and your companions sitting before you (For men of type [are] they), For behold, I am bringing in My servant—a Shoot.
所以,大司祭耶叔亞,你且聽著:你和坐在你面前的同伴都是作預兆的人。攪,我必要使我的僕人「苖芽」生出。
9 For behold, the stone that I put before Joshua, On one stone [are] seven eyes, Behold, I am engraving its engraving, A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, And I have removed the iniquity of that land in one day.
看,這是我在耶叔亞面前安置的石頭,在這惟一的石頭上有七隻眼睛;看! 我要親自在石上刻上題名──萬軍上主的斷語──並且要在那一天除去地上的罪過。
10 In that day—a declaration of YHWH of Hosts, You call, each to his neighbor, To the place of the vine, And to the place of the fig tree!”
在那一天──萬軍上主的斷語──你們必要互相邀請自己的鄰里,到葡萄樹和無花果樹下。
