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.
Kemudian ia memperlihatkan kepadaku imam besar Yosua berdiri di hadapan Malaikat TUHAN sedang Iblis berdiri di sebelah kanannya untuk mendakwa dia.
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.”
Lalu berkatalah Malaikat TUHAN kepada Iblis itu: "TUHAN kiranya menghardik engkau, hai Iblis! TUHAN, yang memilih Yerusalem, kiranya menghardik engkau! Bukankah dia ini puntung yang telah ditarik dari api?"
3 Joshua was wearing filthy clothes while he was standing in front of the angel.
Adapun Yosua mengenakan pakaian yang kotor, waktu dia berdiri di hadapan Malaikat itu,
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.”
yang memberikan perintah kepada orang-orang yang melayaninya: "Tanggalkanlah pakaian yang kotor itu dari padanya." Dan kepada Yosua ia berkata: "Lihat, dengan ini aku telah menjauhkan kesalahanmu dari padamu! Aku akan mengenakan kepadamu pakaian pesta."
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.
Kemudian ia berkata: "Taruhlah serban tahir pada kepalanya!" Maka mereka menaruh serban tahir pada kepalanya dan mengenakan pakaian kepadanya, sedang Malaikat TUHAN berdiri di situ.
6 Then the angel said [this] to Joshua:
Lalu Malaikat TUHAN itu memberi jaminan kepada Yosua, katanya:
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.
"Beginilah firman TUHAN semesta alam: Apabila engkau hidup menurut jalan yang Kutunjukkan dan melakukan tugas yang Kuberikan kepadamu, maka engkau akan memerintah rumah-Ku dan mengurus pelataran-Ku, dan Aku akan mengizinkan engkau masuk ke antara mereka yang berdiri melayani di sini.
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.
Dengarkanlah, hai imam besar Yosua! Engkau dan teman-temanmu yang duduk di hadapanmu--sungguh kamu merupakan suatu lambang. Sebab, sesungguhnya Aku akan mendatangkan hamba-Ku, yakni Sang Tunas.
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.
Sebab sesungguhnya permata yang telah Kuserahkan kepada Yosua--satu permata yang bermata tujuh--sesungguhnya Aku akan mengukirkan ukiran di atasnya, demikianlah firman TUHAN semesta alam, dan Aku akan menghapuskan kesalahan negeri ini dalam satu hari saja.
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.”
Pada hari itu, demikianlah firman TUHAN semesta alam, setiap orang dari padamu akan mengundang temannya duduk di bawah pohon anggur dan di bawah pohon ara."
