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.
彼祭司の長ヨシユアがヱホバの使の前に立ちサタンのその右に立てこれに敵しをるを我に見す
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.”
ヱホバ、サタンに言たまひけるはサタンよヱホバ汝をせむべし即ちヱルサレムを簡びしヱホバ汝をいましむ是は火の中より取いだしたる燃柴ならずやと
3 Joshua was wearing filthy clothes while he was standing in front of the angel.
ヨシユア汚なき衣服を衣て使の前に立をりしが
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.”
ヱホバ己の前に立る者等に告て汚なき衣服を之に脱せよと宣ひまたヨシユアに向ひて觀よ我なんぢの罪を汝の身より取のぞけり汝に美服を衣すべしと宣へり
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.
我また潔き冠冕をその首に冠らせよと言り是において潔き冠冕をその首に冠らせ衣服をこれに衣すヱホバの使は立をる
6 Then the angel said [this] to Joshua:
ヱホバの使證してヨシユアに言ふ
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.
萬軍のヱホバかく言たまふ汝もし我道を歩みわが職守を守らば我家を司どり我庭を守ることを得ん我また此に立る者等の中に往來する路を汝に與ふべし
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.
祭司の長ヨシユアよ請ふ汝と汝の前に坐する汝の同僚とともに聽べし彼らは即ち前表となるべき人なり我かならず我僕たる枝を來らすべし
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.
ヨシユアの前に我が立るところの石を視よ此一箇の石の上に七箇の目あり我自らその彫刻をなす萬軍のヱホバこれを言ふなり我この地の罪を一日の内に除くべし
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.”
萬軍のヱホバ言たまふ其日には汝等おのおの互に相招きて葡萄の樹の下無花果の樹の下にあらん
