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.
Derpaa lod han mig se Ypperstepræsten Josua, og han stod foran HERRENS Engel, medens Satan stod ved hans højre Side for at føre Klage imod ham.
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?”
Men HERREN sagde til Satan: »HERREN true dig, Satan, HERREN true dig, han, som udvalgte Jerusalem. Er denne ikke en Brand, som er reddet ud af Ilden?«
3 And Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and is standing before the Messenger.
Josua havde snavsede Klæder paa og stod foran Engelen;
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.”
men denne tog til Orde og sagde til dem, som stod ham til Tjeneste: »Tag de snavsede Klæder af ham!« Og til ham sagde han: »Se, jeg har taget din Skyld fra dig, og du skal have Højtidsklæder paa.«
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,
Og han sagde: »Sæt et rent Hovedbind paa hans Hoved!« Og de satte et rent Hovedbind paa hans Hoved og gav ham rene Klæder paa. Saa traadte HERRENS Engel frem,
6 and the Messenger of YHWH protests to Joshua, saying,
og HERRENS Engel vidnede for Josua og sagde:
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.
Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE: Hvis du vandrer paa mine Veje og holder mine Forskrifter, skal du baade Raade i mit Hus og vogte mine Forgaarde, og jeg giver dig Gang og Sæde blandt dem, som staar her.
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.
Hør, du Ypperstepræst Josua, du og dine Embedsbrødre, som sidder for dit Ansigt: de er Varselmænd! Thi se, jeg lader min Tjener Zemak komme.
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.
Thi se, den Sten, jeg lægger hen for Josua — paa den ene Sten er syv Øjne — se, jeg rister selv dens Indskrift, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE, og paa een Dag udsletter jeg dette Lands Skyld.
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!”
Paa hin Dag, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE, skal I byde hverandre til Gæst under Vinstok og Figentræ.
