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.
Y me hizo ver al Sumo Sacerdote Jesús, que estaba en pie delante del ángel de Yahvé; y a su mano derecha estaba Satán para acusarle.
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.”
Y dijo Yahvé a Satán: «Yahvé te increpe, oh Satán; Yahvé te increpe, el que ha escogido a Jerusalén. ¿No es este un tizón arrebatado al fuego?»
3 Joshua was wearing filthy clothes while he was standing in front of the angel.
Estaba Jesús vestido de ropas sucias, y permanecía en pie delante del ángel;
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.”
el cual tomó la palabra y habló a los que estaban delante de él, diciendo: «Quitadle las ropas sucias». Y a él le dijo: «Mira que te he librado de tu iniquidad y te voy a vestir de ropas de fiesta».
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.
Y agregué yo: «Que pongan sobre su cabeza una mitra limpia». Y pusieron una mitra limpia sobre su cabeza, y le vistieron con las ropas. Entretanto el ángel de Yahvé estaba en pie.
6 Then the angel said [this] to Joshua:
Entonces el ángel dé Yahvé hizo a Jesús esta promesa:
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.
«Así dice Yahvé de los ejércitos: Si sigues mis caminos, y observas mis preceptos, tú también gobernarás mi Casa y guardarás mis atrios, y te daré un lugar entre estos que están aquí presentes.
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.
¡Oye oh Jesús, Sumo Sacerdote, tú y tus compañeros que se sientan en tu presencia! pues son varones de presagio; porque he aquí que haré venir a mi Siervo, el Pimpollo.
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.
Mirad la piedra que he puesto delante de Jesús; sobre esta piedra única hay siete ojos. He aquí que Yo la labraré, dice Yahvé de los ejércitos; y en un día quitaré de este país la iniquidad.
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 aquel día, dice Yahvé de los ejércitos, os convidaréis unos a otros bajo la parra y bajo la higuera».
