Zechariah 3
1 He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary.
Og han lod mig se Ypperstepræsten Josua, der stod for Herrens Engels Ansigt, og Satan, der stod ved hans højre Haand for at staa ham imod.
2 The LORD said to Satan, "The LORD rebuke you, Satan. Yes, the LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you. Isn't this a burning stick plucked out of the fire?"
Og Herren sagde til Satan: Herren true dig, Satan! ja, Herren true dig, han, som udvælger Jerusalem; er ikke denne en Brand, som er reddet af Ilden?
3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the angel.
Og Josua var iført skidne Klæder, der han stod for Engelens Ansigt.
4 He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, "Take the filthy garments off of him." To him he said, "Look, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich clothing."
Da svarede han og sagde til dem, som stode for hans Ansigt: Tager de skidne Klæder af ham; derefter sagde han til ham: Se, jeg har borttaget din Skyld fra dig og ifører dig Helligdagsklæder!
5 I said, "Let them set a clean turban on his head." So they set a clean turban on his head, and clothed him; and the angel of the LORD was standing by.
Og jeg sagde: Lad dem sætte en ren Præstehue paa hans Hoved; og de satte en ren Præstehue paa hans Hoved og iførte ham Klæder, og Herrens Engel stod hos.
6 The angel of the LORD protested to Joshua, saying,
Og Herrens Engel vidnede for Josua og sagde:
7 "Thus says the LORD of hosts: 'If you will walk in my ways, and if you will follow my instructions, then you also shall judge my house, and shall also keep my courts, and I will give you a place of access among these who stand by.
Saa siger den Herre Zebaoth: Dersom du vandrer i mine Veje, og dersom du tager Vare paa, hvad jeg har givet dig at varetage, da skal du baade dømme mit Hus og tage Vare paa mine Forgaarde; og jeg vil give dig Gang iblandt disse, som staa her.
8 Hear now, Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows who sit before you; for they are men who are a sign: for, look, I will bring forth my servant, the Branch.
Hør dog, Josua, du Ypperstepræst: Du og dine Venner, som sidde for dit Ansigt, ere Mænd til Forbillede; thi se, jeg vil lade min Tjener Zemak komme.
9 For, look, the stone that I have set before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes: look, I will engrave its engraving,' says the LORD of hosts, 'and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
Thi se, Stenen, som jeg har lagt for Josuas Ansigt, over een Sten ere syv Øjne; se, jeg udgraver Udgravningen paa den, siger den Herre Zebaoth, og jeg vil borttage dette Lands Skyld paa een Dag.
10 In that day,' says the LORD of hosts, 'you will invite every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.'"
Paa den Dag, siger den Herre Zebaoth, skulle I kalde, den ene den anden, hen under Vintræet og hen under Figentræet.
