Zacarías 3
1 Y me dejó ver a Josué, el sumo sacerdote, en su lugar delante del ángel del Señor, y a Satanás a su diestra listo para acusarlo.
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 el ángel del Señor le dijo a Satanás: Que él Señor te reprenda, oh Satanás, reprendate el Señor, que ha escogido a Jerusalén: ¿no es este hombre como un tizón en llamas que fue sacado 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 Ahora Josué estaba vestido con túnicas inmundas, y él estaba en su lugar delante del ángel.
Joshua was wearing filthy clothes while he was standing in front of the angel.
4 Y respondiendo, dijo a los que estaban allí ante que él: Quítate las vestiduras inmundas, te he quitado tu iniquidad y te vestiré con ropa 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 Y que le pongan un turbante limpio en la cabeza. Entonces le pusieron un turbante limpio en la cabeza y lo vistieron con túnicas limpias; y el ángel del Señor 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 Y el ángel del Señor hizo una declaración a Josué, y dijo:
Then the angel said [this] to Joshua:
7 Estas son las palabras del Señor de los ejércitos: si sigues mis caminos y guardas lo que he puesto bajo tu cuidado, entonces serás juez sobre mi Templo y cuidarás de mi casa, y te daré el derecho de entrar entre los que están allí.
“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, oh Josué, el sumo sacerdote, tú y tus amigos que están sentados delante de ti; porque estos son hombres que son un prodigio, dejaré que mi siervo sea visto; él Retoño.
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 mira, la piedra que he puesto delante de Josué; sobre esta única piedra hay siete ojos: mira, grabaré una inscripción y, dice el Señor de los ejércitos, y quitaré el pecado 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 ese día, dice el Señor de los ejércitos, cada uno de ustedes llamará a su prójimo 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.”
