Zaharija 3

1 Poslije mi pokaza Isusa poglavara sveštenièkoga, koji stajaše pred anðelom Gospodnjim, i Sotonu, koji mu stajaše s desne strane da ga pre.

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 A Gospod reèe Sotoni: Gospod da te ukori, Sotono, Gospod da te ukori, koji izabra Jerusalim. Nije li on glavnja istrgnuta iz ognja?

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 A Isus bijaše obuèen u haljine prljave, i stajaše pred anðelom.

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

4 A on progovori i reèe onima koji stajahu pred njim: skinite s njega te prljave haljine. I reèe mu: vidi, uzeh s tebe bezakonje tvoje, i obukoh ti nove haljine.

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 I rekoh: neka mu metnu èistu kapu na glavu. I metnuše mu èistu kapu na glavu, i obukoše mu haljine; a anðeo Gospodnji stajaše.

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 I anðeo Gospodnji zasvjedoèi Isusu govoreæi:

Then the angel said [this] to Joshua:

7 Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: ako uzideš mojim putovima, i ako uzdržiš što sam naredio da se drži, tada æeš ti suditi domu mojemu i èuvaæeš trijemove moje, i daæu ti da hodiš meðu ovima što stoje.

“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 Èuj, Isuse poglavaru sveštenièki, ti i drugovi tvoji što sjede pred tobom, jer su ti ljudi èudo; evo, ja æu dovesti slugu svojega, klicu.

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 Jer gle, kamen koji metnuh pred Isusa, na tom je jednom kamenu sedam oèiju; gle, ja æu ga otesati, govori Gospod nad vojskama, i uzeæu bezakonje te zemlje u jedan dan.

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 U taj dan, govori Gospod nad vojskama, zvaæete svaki bližnjega svojega pod vinovu lozu i pod smokvu.

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.”
