Zechariah 3
1 And he shewed me, Joshua the high priest, standing before the messenger of Yahweh, —and, the Accuser, standing at his right hand, to accuse him.
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 Then said Yahweh unto the Accuser, Yahweh rebuke thee, O Accuser, Yea Yahweh rebuke thee, he who is choosing Jerusalem, —Is not, this, a brand snatched 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, —though standing before the messenger.
Og Josua var iført skidne Klæder, der han stod for Engelens Ansigt.
4 Then responded he and spake unto those who were standing before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from off him; and he said unto him, See! I have caused to pass from off thee, thine iniquity, And will cause thee to be clothed in robes of state.
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 Then said I, Let them put a clean turban upon his head, —So they put the clean turban upon his head, and clothed him with garments, and, the messenger of Yahweh, was standing up.
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 So then the messenger of Yahweh did solemnly affirm unto Joshua, saying:
Og Herrens Engel vidnede for Josua og sagde:
7 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, If, in my ways, thou wilt walk, and if, of my charge, thou wilt keep charge, Then, even thou, shalt govern my house, Moreover also, thou shalt have charge of my courts, —and I will give thee free 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, I pray thee, O Joshua the high priest, thou and thy friends who are sitting before thee, for, men to serve as signs, they are, —For behold me! bringing in my servant, the Bud;
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 lo! the stone which I have set before Joshua, Upon one stone, are Seven (pairs of) Eyes, —Behold me! cutting the engraving thereof, declareth Yahweh of hosts. So will I take away 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, declareth Yahweh of hosts, Ye shall invite one another, —[to come] 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.
