Zacarías 3
1 Me mostró al sumo sacerdote Josué de pie ante el ángel de Yahvé, y a Satanás de pie a su derecha para ser su adversario.
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 Yahvé dijo a Satanás: “¡Yahvé te reprende, Satanás! ¡Sí, Yahvé, que ha elegido a Jerusalén, te reprende! ¿No es éste un palo ardiente arrancado del fuego?”
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 estaba vestido con ropas sucias y estaba de pie ante el ángel.
Joshua was wearing filthy clothes while he was standing in front of the angel.
4 Este respondió y habló a los que estaban delante de él, diciendo: “Quitadle las vestiduras sucias”. A él le dijo: “He aquí que he hecho pasar tu iniquidad de ti, y te vestiré con ropas ricas”.
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 Dije: “Que le pongan un turbante limpio en la cabeza”. Entonces le pusieron un turbante limpio en la cabeza, y lo vistieron; y el ángel de Yahvé estaba de pie.
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 El ángel de Yahvé sólo aseguró a Josué, diciendo:
Then the angel said [this] to Joshua:
7 “Yahvé de los Ejércitos dice: ‘Si andas en mis caminos, y si sigues mis instrucciones, entonces tú también juzgarás mi casa, y también guardarás mis atrios, y te daré un lugar de acceso entre estos que están de pie.
“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 Escucha ahora, Josué, el sumo sacerdote, tú y tus compañeros que se sientan delante de ti, porque son hombres que son una señal; porque, he aquí, yo sacaré a mi siervo, el Renuevo.
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 he aquí la piedra que he puesto delante de Josué: en una piedra hay siete ojos; he aquí que yo grabaré su inscripción’, dice el Señor de los Ejércitos, ‘y quitaré la iniquidad de esa tierra en un día.
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 En aquel día — dice el Señor de los Ejércitos — invitarás a cada uno a su prójimo bajo la vid y bajo la higuera”.
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.”
