Zacarias 3

1 Depois ele me mostrou o sumo sacerdote Josué, que estava diante do anjo do SENHOR; e Satanás estava à sua direita para o acusar.

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 Mas o SENHOR disse a Satanás: O SENHOR te repreenda, Satanás; o SENHOR, que escolheu a Jerusalém, te repreenda. Não é este [homem] 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 E Josué estava vestido com roupas impuras enquanto estava diante do anjo.

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

4 Então [o anjo] falou aos que estavam diante de dele, dizendo: Tirai dele essas roupas impuras. E a ele disse: Eis que tirei de ti tua perversidade, e te vestirei de roupas refinadas.

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 Depois disse: Ponham um turbante limpo sobre sua cabeça. E puseram um turbante limpo sobre sua cabeça, e puseram-lhe roupas, enquanto o anjo do SENHOR estava [junto].

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 exortou a Josué, dizendo:

Then the angel said [this] to Joshua:

7 Assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos: Se andares em meus caminhos, e guardares minha ordenança, também tu julgarás minha casa e guardarás meus pátios; e te darei passagem entre os que [aqui] estão.

“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 Ouvi, pois, Josué sumo sacerdote, tu, e teus colegas que se sentam diante de ti; porque são um sinal; pois eis que eu trarei a 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 que, quanto à pedra que pus diante de Josué, sobre esta pedra há sete olhos; eis que gravarei nela uma inscrição, diz o SENHOR dos exércitos, e tirarei a injustiça desta terra em 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 Naquele dia, diz o SENHOR dos exércitos, cada um de vós convidará a seu próximo 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.”
