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.
Il me fit voir Jésus, le grand prêtre, debout devant l’ange de Yahweh; et Satan se tenait à sa droite pour lui faire opposition.
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.”
Et Yahweh dit à Satan: « Que Yahweh te réprime, Satan, que Yahweh te réprime, lui qui a choisi Jérusalem! Celui-ci n’est-il pas un tison arraché du feu? »
3 Joshua was wearing filthy clothes while he was standing in front of the angel.
Or Jésus était couvert d’habits sales et se tenait devant l’ange.
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.”
Et l’ange prit la parole et parla à ceux qui se tenaient devant lui, en ces termes: « Otez-lui les vêtements sales. » Et il lui dit: « Vois, j’ai fait enlever de dessus toi ton iniquité, et je t’ai revêtu d’habits de fête. »
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.
Et je dis: « Qu’ils lui mettent une tiare pure sur la tête. » Et ils posèrent la tiare pure sur sa tête, et le revêtirent d’habits; et l’ange de Yahweh se tenait debout.
6 Then the angel said [this] to Joshua:
Et l’ange de Yahweh fit à Jésus cette déclaration:
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.
Ainsi parle Yahweh des armées: Si tu marches dans mes voies, et si tu es fidèle à mon ministère, toi aussi tu gouverneras ma maison, et tu garderas mes parvis; et je te donnerai libre accès parmi ceux qui se tiennent ici.
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.
Écoute donc, Jésus, grand prêtre, toi et tes collègues qui siègent devant toi: — car ce sont des hommes de présage; — Voici que je vais faire venir mon serviteur Germe.
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.
Car voici la pierre que j’ai placée devant Jésus; sur cette unique pierre il y a sept yeux; voici que je vais sculpter sa sculpture, — oracle de Yahweh des armées, et j’enlèverai l’iniquité de ce pays en un seul jour!
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.”
En ce jour-là, — oracle de Yahweh des armées, vous vous inviterez les uns les autres, sous la vigne et sous le figuier.
