Zacarias 3

1 E me mostrou o summo sacerdote Josué, o qual estava diante do Senhor, e Satanaz estava á sua mão direita, para se lhe oppôr.

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 Porém o Senhor disse a Satanaz O Senhor te reprehenda, ó Satanaz, sim, o Senhor, que escolheu Jerusalem, te reprehenda: não é este um tição tirado do fogo?

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 Josué estava vestido de vestidos sujos, e estava diante do anjo.

Joshua was wearing filthy clothes while he was standing in front of the angel.

4 Então respondeu, e fallou aos que estavam diante d'elle, dizendo: Tira-lhe estes vestidos sujos. E a elle lhe disse: Eis que tenho feito passar de ti a tua iniquidade, e te vestirei de vestidos novos.

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 E disse eu: Ponham-lhe uma mitra limpa sobre a sua cabeça. E pozeram uma mitra limpa sobre a sua cabeça, e o vestiram de vestidos: e o anjo do Senhor estava em pé.

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 E o anjo do Senhor protestou a Josué, dizendo:

Then the angel said [this] to Joshua:

7 Assim diz o Senhor dos Exercitos: Se andares nos meus caminhos, e se observares a minha carga, tambem tu julgarás a minha casa, e tambem guardarás os meus atrios, e te darei andaduras entre os que estão aqui.

“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 Ouve pois, Josué, summo sacerdote, tu e os teus companheiros que se assentam diante de ti, porque são homens portentosos, porque eis que eu farei vir o meu servo, o Renovo.

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 Porque eis aqui a pedra que puz diante de Josué: sobre esta pedra unica estarão sete olhos: eis que eu esculpirei a sua esculptura, diz o Senhor dos Exercitos, e tirarei a iniquidade d'esta terra n'um dia.

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 N'aquelle dia, diz o Senhor dos Exercitos, cada um de vós convidará o seu companheiro para debaixo da videira e para debaixo da figueira.

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.”
