Zacharie 3

1 Et il me fit voir Joshua, le grand sacrificateur, debout devant l’Ange de l’Éternel, et Satan se tenant à sa droite pour s’opposer à lui.

And he let me see Joshua, the high priest, in his place before the angel of the Lord, and the Satan at his right hand ready to take up a cause against him.

2 Et l’Éternel dit à Satan: Que l’Éternel te tance, Satan; que l’Éternel, qui a choisi Jérusalem, te tance! Celui-ci n’est-il pas un tison sauvé du feu?

And the Lord said to the Satan, May the Lord's word be sharp against you, O Satan, the word of the Lord who has taken Jerusalem for himself: is this not a burning branch pulled out of the fire?

3 Et Joshua était vêtu de vêtements sales, et se tenait devant l’Ange.

Now Joshua was clothed in unclean robes, and he was in his place before the angel.

4 Et [l’Ange] prit la parole et parla à ceux qui se tenaient devant lui, disant: Ôtez de dessus lui les vêtements sales. Et il lui dit: Regarde, j’ai fait passer de dessus toi ton iniquité, et je te revêts d’habits de fête.

And he made answer and said to those who were there before him, Take the unclean robes off him, and let him be clothed in clean robes;

5 Et je dis: Qu’ils mettent une tiare pure sur sa tête; et ils mirent la tiare pure sur sa tête, et le revêtirent de vêtements; et l’Ange de l’Éternel se tenait là.

And let them put a clean head-dress on his head. So they put a clean head-dress on his head, clothing him with clean robes: and to him he said, See, I have taken your sin away from you.

6 Et l’Ange de l’Éternel protesta à Joshua, disant:

And the angel of the Lord made a statement to Joshua, and said,

7 Ainsi dit l’Éternel des armées: Si tu marches dans mes voies, et si tu fais l’acquit de la charge que je te confie, alors tu jugeras aussi ma maison, et tu auras aussi la garde de mes parvis, et je te donnerai de marcher au milieu de ceux-ci qui se tiennent [devant moi].

These are the words of the Lord of armies: If you will go in my ways and keep what I have put in your care, then you will be judge over my Temple and have the care of my house, and I will give you the right to come in among those who are there.

8 Écoute, Joshua, grand sacrificateur, toi et tes compagnons qui sont assis devant toi, car ce sont des hommes [qui servent] de signes; car voici, je ferai venir mon serviteur, le Germe.

Give ear now, O Joshua, the high priest, you and your friends who are seated before you; for these are men who are a sign: for see, I will let my servant the Branch be seen.

9 Car voici, la pierre que j’ai placée devant Joshua; sur cette seule pierre, [il y aura] sept yeux; voici, j’en graverai la gravure, dit l’Éternel des armées; et j’ôterai l’iniquité de ce pays en un seul jour.

For see, the stone which I have put before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes: see, the design cut on it will be my work, says the Lord of armies, and I will take away the sin of that land in one day.

10 En ce jour-là, dit l’Éternel des armées, vous convierez chacun son prochain sous la vigne et sous le figuier.

In that day, says the Lord of armies, you will be one another's guests under the vine and under the fig-tree.
