Zacharie 3
1 Il me montra Josué, le grand prêtre, debout devant l'ange de Yahvé, et Satan, debout à sa droite, pour être son adversaire.
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.
2 Yahvé dit à Satan: « Yahvé te réprime, Satan! Oui, Yahvé, qui a choisi Jérusalem, te réprimande! N'est-ce pas là un bâton brûlant arraché du feu? ".
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.”
3 Or Josué était revêtu de vêtements souillés, et il se tenait devant l'ange.
Joshua was wearing filthy clothes while he was standing in front of the angel.
4 L'ange prit la parole et dit à ceux qui se tenaient devant lui: « Enlève-lui les vêtements sales. » Il lui dit: « Voici que je fais disparaître de toi ton iniquité, et je vais te revêtir de riches habits. »
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.”
5 J'ai dit: « Qu'on lui mette un turban propre sur la tête. » Ils lui mirent un turban propre sur la tête et le vêtirent, et l'ange de Yahvé se tenait là.
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.
6 L'ange de Yahvé rassura seul Josué en disant:
Then the angel said [this] to Joshua:
7 « Yahvé des armées dit: Si tu marches dans mes voies et si tu suis mes instructions, toi aussi tu jugeras ma maison, tu garderas mes parvis, et je te donnerai accès parmi ceux qui sont là.
“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.
8 Écoute maintenant, Josué, le grand prêtre, toi et tes compagnons qui sont assis devant toi, car ce sont des hommes qui sont un signe; car voici, je vais faire sortir mon serviteur, le Rameau.
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.
9 Car voici la pierre que j'ai placée devant Josué: sur une pierre, il y a sept yeux; voici, je graverai son inscription, dit Yahvé des armées, et j'effacerai l'iniquité de ce pays en un seul jour.
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.
10 En ce jour-là, dit Yahvé des armées, vous inviterez chacun votre voisin sous la vigne et sous le figuier. »
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.”
