Zacarías 3
1 Y MOSTRÓME á Josué, el gran sacerdote, el cual estaba delante del ángel de Jehová; y Satán estaba á su mano derecha para serle 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 Y dijo Jehová á Satán: Jehová te reprenda, oh Satán; Jehová, que ha escogido á Jerusalem, te reprenda. ¿No es éste tizón arrebatado del incendio?
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 Y Josué estaba vestido de vestimentas viles, y estaba delante del ángel.
Joshua was wearing filthy clothes while he was standing in front of the angel.
4 Y habló el [ángel], é intimó á los que estaban delante de sí, diciendo: Quitadle esas vestimentas viles. Y á él dijo: Mira que he hecho pasar tu pecado de ti, y te he hecho vestir de ropas de gala.
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 Después dijo: Pongan mitra limpia sobre su cabeza. Y pusieron una mitra limpia sobre su cabeza, y vistiéronle de ropas. Y el ángel de Jehová estaba en 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 Y el ángel de Jehová protestó al mismo Josué, diciendo:
Then the angel said [this] to Joshua:
7 Así dice Jehová de los ejércitos: Si anduvieres por mis caminos, y si guardares mi ordenanza, también tú gobernarás mi casa, también tú guardarás mis atrios, y entre estos que aquí están te daré plaza.
“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 pues ahora, Josué gran sacerdote, tú, y tus amigos que se sientan delante de ti; porque son varones simbólicos: He aquí, yo traigo á mi siervo, el Pimpollo.
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 aquella piedra que puse delante de Josué; sobre esta única piedra hay siete ojos: he aquí, yo grabaré su escultura, dice Jehová de los ejércitos, y quitaré el pecado de la 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 Jehová de los ejércitos, cada uno de vosotros llamará á su compañero debajo de la vid, y debajo de 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.”
