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.
Ele me mostrou Josué, o sumo sacerdote de pé diante do anjo de Yahweh, e Satanás de pé à sua direita para ser seu adversário.
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.”
Javé disse a Satanás: “Javé te repreende, Satanás! Sim, Javé, que escolheu Jerusalém, repreende-o! Isto não é um pau em chamas arrancado do fogo”?
3 Joshua was wearing filthy clothes while he was standing in front of the angel.
Agora Josué estava vestido com roupas sujas, e estava de pé diante do anjo.
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.”
Ele respondeu e falou aos que estavam diante dele, dizendo: “Tirem as vestes imundas dele”. A ele disse: “Eis que fiz passar de ti a tua iniqüidade, e te vestirei com roupas ricas”.
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.
Eu disse: “Deixe-os colocar um turbante limpo em sua cabeça”. Então eles colocaram um turbante limpo em sua cabeça, e o vestiram; e o anjo de Yahweh estava esperando.
6 Then the angel said [this] to Joshua:
O anjo de Yahweh assegurou Josué, dizendo:
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.
“Yahweh dos Exércitos diz: 'Se você caminhar em meus caminhos, e se seguir minhas instruções, então você também julgará minha casa, e também manterá meus tribunais, e eu lhe darei um lugar de acesso entre estes que ficam a postos.
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.
Ouça agora, Josué, o sumo sacerdote, você e seus companheiros que se sentam diante de você, pois são homens que são um sinal; pois, eis que eu farei sair meu servo, o Ramo.
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.
Pois eis a pedra que pus diante de Josué: sobre uma pedra estão sete olhos; eis que gravarei sua inscrição', diz Javé dos Exércitos, 'e removerei a iniqüidade daquela terra em um dia'.
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.”
Naquele dia', diz Javé dos Exércitos, 'você convidará cada homem seu próximo sob a videira e sob a figueira'”.
