Zaharija 3

1 Pokazal mi je Ješúa, vélikega duhovnika, stati pred Gospodovim angelom in Satana, stoječega na njegovi desnici, da se mu upira.

Then the Lord showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing on his right accusing him.

2 Gospod je rekel Satanu: » Gospod te oštej, oh Satan. Celó Gospod, ki je izbral Jeruzalem, naj te ošteje. Mar ni to ogorek, potegnjen iz ognja?«

And the Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebukes you Satan. I, the Lord who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you. Isn't he like a half-burned stick snatched from the fire?”

3 Torej Ješúa je bil oblečen v umazane obleke in stal pred angelom.

Joshua was wearing filthy clothes as he stood in front of the angel.

4 Odgovoril je in spregovoril tistim, ki so stali pred njim, rekoč: »Odvzemite umazane obleke z njega.« Rekel mu je: »Glej, tvoji krivičnosti sem velel, da gre od tebe in oblekel te bom z zamenjavo oblačil.«

The angel said to those standing there, “Take off his filthy clothes.” Then he said to Joshua, “See how I have taken away your sins from you, and now I am dressing you with fine clothes.”

5 Rekel sem: »Naj na njegovo glavo postavijo lep turban.« Tako so na njegovo glavo postavili lep turban in ga oblekli z oblekami. In Gospodov angel je stal poleg.

Then I said, “Wrap a clean turban around his head.” So they wrapped a clean turban around his head and put the clothes on him while the angel of the Lord stood there.

6 Gospodov angel je izpričal Ješúu, rekoč:

Then the angel of the Lord solemnly advised Joshua, saying,

7 »Tako govori Gospod nad bojevniki: ›Če se boš ravnal po mojih poteh in če se boš držal moje zadolžitve, potem boš sodil tudi mojo hišo in se boš držal mojih dvorov in dal ti bom prostore za hojo med tistimi, ki stojijo poleg.

“This is what the Lord Almighty says: If you follow my ways and observe my commands, then you will govern my Temple and its courtyards. I will allow you to walk among those standing here.

8 Poslušaj sedaj, oh Ješúa, véliki duhovnik, ti in tvoji tovariši, ki sedijo pred teboj, kajti oni so ljudje čudenja. Kajti, glej, privedel bom svojega služabnika MLADIKO.

Pay attention, high priest Joshua and all your fellow-priests that you teach! You are a sign of good things to come. Look! I am going to bring my servant, the Branch.

9 Kajti poglej, kamen, ki sem ga položil pred Ješúa. Na enem kamnu bo sedem oči. Glej, vrezal bom graviranje le-tega, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki »in krivičnost te dežele bom odstranil v enem dnevu.

See that I have placed a precious stone in front of Joshua, a single stone with seven faces. Watch, for I myself am going to engrave seven eyes on it, declares the Lord Almighty, and I will wipe away the sins of this land in a single day.

10 Na ta dan, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki, »boste vabili vsakdo svojega soseda pod trto in pod figovo drevo.«

On that day everyone will invite their friends to sit in peace under their vines and fig trees, says the Lord Almighty.”
