< Zechariah 3 >

1 Then Yahweh showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of Yahweh and Satan was standing at his right hand to accuse him of sin.
Et ostendit mihi Dominus Iesum sacerdotem magnum stantem coram angelo Domini: et satan stabat a dextris eius ut adversaretur ei.
2 The angel of Yahweh said to Satan, “May Yahweh rebuke you, Satan; may Yahweh, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is this not a brand pulled from the fire?”
Et dixit Dominus ad satan: Increpet Dominus te Satan: et increpet Dominus te, qui elegit Ierusalem! numquid non iste torris est erutus de igne?
3 Joshua was dressed in filthy garments as he stood before the angel.
Et Iesus erat indutus vestibus sordidis: et stabat ante faciem angeli.
4 The angel spoke and said to those who stood before him, “Remove the filthy garments from upon him.” Then he said to Joshua, “Look! I have caused your iniquity to pass from you and I will dress you in fine clothing.”
Qui respondit, et ait ad eos, qui stabant coram se, dicens: Auferte vestimenta sordida ab eo. Et dixit ad eum: Ecce abstuli a te iniquitatem tuam, et indui te mutatoriis.
5 Then I said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head!” So they set a clean turban on Joshua's head and clothed him with clean garments, while the angel of Yahweh was standing by.
Et dixit: Ponite cidarim mundam super caput eius. Et posuerunt cidarim mundam super caput eius, et induerunt eum vestibus: et angelus Domini stabat.
6 Next the angel of Yahweh solemnly commanded Joshua and said,
Et contestabatur angelus Domini Iesum, dicens:
7 “Yahweh of hosts says this: If you will walk in my ways, and if you will keep my commandments, then you will govern my house and guard my courts, for I will allow you to go and come among these who stand before me.
Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Si in viis meis ambulaveris, et custodiam meam custodieris: tu quoque iudicabis domum meam, et custodies atria mea, et dabo tibi ambulantes de his, qui nunc hic assistunt.
8 Listen, Joshua the high priest, you and your companions who live with you! For these men are a sign, for I myself will bring up my servant the Branch.
Audi Iesu sacerdos magne, tu et amici tui, qui habitant coram te, quia viri portendentes sunt. ecce enim ego ADDUCAM SERVUM MEUM ORIENTEM.
9 Now look at the stone that I have set before Joshua. There are seven eyes on this single stone, and I will engrave an inscription—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts— and I will remove the sin from this land in one day.
Quia ecce lapis, quem dedi coram Iesu: super lapidem unum septem oculi sunt: ecce ego celabo sculpturam eius, ait Dominus exercituum: et auferam iniquitatem terrae illius in die una.
10 In that day—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts—each man will invite his neighbor to sit under his vine and under his fig tree.”
In die illa, dicit Dominus exercituum, vocabit vir amicum suum subter vitem, et subter ficum.
