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.
At ipinakita niya sa akin si Josue na pangulong saserdote na nakatayo sa harap ng anghel ng Panginoon, at si Satanas na nakatayo sa kaniyang kanan upang maging kaniyang kaaway.
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.”
At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Satanas, Sawayin ka nawa ng Panginoon, Oh Satanas; oo, ang Panginoon na pumili ng Jerusalem ay sumaway nawa sa iyo: di baga ito'y isang dupong na naagaw sa apoy?
3 Joshua was wearing filthy clothes while he was standing in front of the angel.
Si Josue nga ay nabibihisan ng maruming kasuutan, at nakatayo sa harap ng anghel.
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.”
At siya'y sumagot at nagsalita sa mga yaon na nangakatayo sa harap niya, na nagsabi, Hubarin ninyo ang mga maruming suot sa kaniya. At sa kaniya'y kaniyang sinabi, Narito, aking pinaram ang iyong kasamaan, at aking susuutan ka ng mainam na kasuutan.
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.
At aking sinabi, Suutan siya nila ng isang magandang mitra sa kaniyang ulo. Sa gayo'y sinuutan siya ng magandang mitra sa kaniyang ulo, at sinuutan siya ng mga kasuutan; at ang anghel ng Panginoon ay nakatayo sa siping.
6 Then the angel said [this] to Joshua:
At ang anghel ng Panginoon ay tumutol kay Josue, na nagsabi,
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.
Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, Kung ikaw ay lalakad sa aking mga daan, at kung iyong iingatan ang aking bilin, iyo nga ring hahatulan ang aking bayan, at iyo ring iingatan ang aking mga looban, at bibigyan kita ng kalalagyan sa gitna ng mga ito na nangakaharap.
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.
Dinggin mo ngayon, Oh Josue, na pangulong saserdote, dinggin mo, at ng iyong mga kasama na nangakaupo sa harap mo; sapagka't sila'y mga taong pinaka tanda: sapagka't narito, aking ilalabas ang aking lingkod na Sanga.
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.
Sapagka't, narito, ang bato na aking inilagay sa harap ni Josue; sa ibabaw ng isang bato ay may pitong mata: narito, aking iuukit ang ukit niyaon, sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, at aking aalisin ang kasamaan ng lupaing yaon sa isang araw.
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.”
Sa araw na yaon, sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, tatawagin ng bawa't isa sa inyo ang kaniyang kapuwa sa lilim ng puno ng ubas, at sa lilim ng puno ng igos.
