< 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.
天使又指給我看:大祭司約書亞站在耶和華的使者面前;撒但也站在約書亞的右邊,與他作對。
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?”
耶和華向撒但說:「撒但哪,耶和華責備你!就是揀選耶路撒冷的耶和華責備你!這不是從火中抽出來的一根柴嗎?」
3 And Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and is standing before the Messenger.
約書亞穿着污穢的衣服站在使者面前。
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.”
使者吩咐站在面前的說:「你們要脫去他污穢的衣服」;又對約書亞說:「我使你脫離罪孽,要給你穿上華美的衣服。」
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,
我說:「要將潔淨的冠冕戴在他頭上。」他們就把潔淨的冠冕戴在他頭上,給他穿上華美的衣服,耶和華的使者在旁邊站立。
6 and the Messenger of YHWH protests to Joshua, saying,
耶和華的使者告誡約書亞說:
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.
「萬軍之耶和華如此說:你若遵行我的道,謹守我的命令,你就可以管理我的家,看守我的院宇;我也要使你在這些站立的人中間來往。
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.
大祭司約書亞啊,你和坐在你面前的同伴都當聽。(他們是作預兆的。)我必使我僕人大衛的苗裔發出。
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.
看哪,我在約書亞面前所立的石頭,在一塊石頭上有七眼。萬軍之耶和華說:我要親自雕刻這石頭,並要在一日之間除掉這地的罪孽。
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!”
當那日,你們各人要請鄰舍坐在葡萄樹和無花果樹下。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。」
