Zechariah 3
1 Then [Yahweh] showed me Joshua, the Supreme Priest, [who was] standing in front of the angel that Yahweh had sent. And Satan was standing at Joshua’s right side, [ready] to accuse 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 But Yahweh said to Satan, “Satan, I am rebuking you! I [am the one] who has chosen Jerusalem [to be my special city, and I] am rebuking you! This [man, Joshua], [has been brought back from Babylonia]; he is surely [like] [MET, RHQ] a burning stick that has been snatched from a 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 Joshua was wearing filthy clothes while he was standing in front of the angel.
那時耶叔亞身穿污穢的衣服，站在使者的面前。
4 The angel said to those [other angels] who were standing in front of him, “Take off his filthy clothes!” [After they did that, ] the angel said to Joshua, “Look! I have taken away [the guilt of] your sins, and I will put beautiful clothes on you.”
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 Then I said to them, “Put a clean turban on his head!” So they put a clean turban on his head and put [new] on him, while the angel sent by Yahweh was standing there.
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 Then the angel said [this] to Joshua:
上主的使者便勸耶叔亞說：「
7 “The Commander of the armies of angels says that if you do what I want you to do [IDM], and obey my instructions, you will (be in charge of/have authority over) [what is done in] my temple and its courtyard. And I will allow you to speak at any time to the angels who are standing near to me.
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 Joshua, [you are] the Supreme Priest, and your (associates/fellow priests) are sitting in front of you. They symbolize/represent things that will happen in the future. [Some day] I am going to bring someone who will work for me, someone who will be called the Branch.
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 Look at the stone that I have put in front of Joshua. There are seven sides on the stone. I will engrave a message on that stone, and in one day I will remove the guilt of [all the people of] this country.
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 At that time, each of you will invite his friends [to come and sit] under his grapevine and under his fig tree. [That is what] the Commander of the armies of angels declares.”
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。
