< Zaccharias Propheta 3 >

1 Et ostendit mihi Dominus Iesum sacerdotem magnum stantem coram angelo Domini: et Satan stabat a dextris eius ut adversaretur ei.
He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before Yahweh’s angel, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary.
2 Et dixit Dominus ad Satan: Increpet Dominus in te Satan: et increpet Dominus in te, qui elegit Ierusalem! numquid non iste torris est erutus de igne?
Yahweh said to Satan, “Yahweh rebuke you, Satan! Yes, Yahweh who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn’t this a burning stick plucked out of the fire?”
3 Et Iesus erat indutus vestibus sordidis: et stabat ante faciem angeli.
Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the angel.
4 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.
He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, “Take the filthy garments off him.” To him he said, “Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich clothing.”
5 Et dixit: Ponite cidarim mundam super caput eius. Et posuerunt cidarim mundam super caput eius, et induerunt eum vestibus: et angelus Domini stabat.
I said, “Let them set a clean turban on his head.” So they set a clean turban on his head, and clothed him; and Yahweh’s angel was standing by.
6 Et contestabatur angelus Domini Iesum, dicens:
Yahweh’s angel solemnly assured Joshua, saying,
7 Hæc 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.
“Yahweh of Armies says: ‘If you will walk in my ways, and if you will follow my instructions, then you also shall judge my house, and shall also keep my courts, and I will give you a place of access among these who stand by.
8 Audi Iesu sacerdos magne, tu et amici tui, qui habitant coram te, quia viri portendentes sunt: ecce enim ego adducam servum meum Orientem.
Hear now, Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows who sit before you, for they are men who are a sign; for, behold, I will bring out my servant, the Branch.
9 Quia ecce lapis, quem dedi coram Iesu: super lapidem unum septem oculi sunt: ecce ego cælabo sculpturam eius, ait Dominus exercituum: et auferam iniquitatem terræ illius in die una.
For, behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua: on one stone are seven eyes; behold, I will engrave its inscription,’ says Yahweh of Armies, ‘and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
10 In die illa, dicit Dominus exercituum, vocabit vir amicum suum subter vitem, et subter ficum.
In that day,’ says Yahweh of Armies, ‘you will invite every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.’”
