A quarta visão: o sumo sacerdote Josué

1 Deus me mostrou o sumo sacerdote Josué, o qual estava diante do Anjo do Senhor, e Satanás estava à mão direita dele, para se lhe opor. 2 Mas o Senhor disse a Satanás: O Senhor te repreende, ó Satanás; sim, o Senhor, que escolheu a Jerusalém, te repreende; não é este um tição tirado do fogo? 3 Ora, Josué, trajado de vestes sujas, estava diante do Anjo. 4 Tomou este a palavra e disse aos que estavam diante dele: Tirai-lhe as vestes sujas. A Josué disse: Eis que tenho feito que passe de ti a tua iniquidade e te vestirei de finos trajes. 5 E disse eu: ponham-lhe um turbante limpo sobre a cabeça. Puseram-lhe, pois, sobre a cabeça um turbante limpo e o vestiram com trajes próprios; e o Anjo do Senhor estava ali, 6 protestou a Josué e disse: 7 Assim diz o Senhor dos Exércitos: Se andares nos meus caminhos e observares os meus preceitos, também tu julgarás a minha casa e guardarás os meus átrios, e te darei livre acesso entre estes que aqui se encontram. 8 Ouve, pois, Josué, sumo sacerdote, tu e os teus companheiros que se assentam diante de ti, porque são homens de presságio; eis que eu farei vir o meu servo, o Renovo. 9 Porque eis aqui a pedra que pus diante de Josué; sobre esta pedra única estão sete olhos; eis que eu lavrarei a sua escultura, diz o Senhor dos Exércitos, e tirarei a iniquidade desta terra, num só dia. 10 Naquele dia, diz o Senhor dos Exércitos, cada um de vós convidará ao seu próximo para debaixo da vide e para debaixo da figueira.

1 And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of Jehovah, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary. 2 And Jehovah said unto Satan, Jehovah rebuke thee, O Satan; yea, Jehovah that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire? 3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the angel. 4 And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take the filthy garments from off him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with rich apparel. 5 And I said, Let them set a clean mitre upon his head. So they set a clean mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments; and the angel of Jehovah was standing by.

6 And the angel of Jehovah protested unto Joshua, saying, 7 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou also shalt judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee a place of access among these that stand by. 8 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou and thy fellows that sit before thee; for they are men that are a sign: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the Branch. 9 For, behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua; upon one stone are seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith Jehovah of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. 10 In that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, shall ye invite every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig-tree.

1 Then he showed me Joshua "the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan "standing at his right side to accuse him.

2 The LORD said to Satan, "The LORD rebuke you, Satan! The LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?"

3 Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel.

4 The angel said to those who were standing before him, "Take off his filthy clothes." Then he said to Joshua, "See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put fine garments on you."

5 Then I said, "Put a clean turban on his head." So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him, while the angel of the LORD stood by.

6 The angel of the LORD gave this charge to Joshua:

7 "This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'If you will walk in obedience to me and keep my requirements, then you will govern my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you a place among these standing here.

8 "'Listen, High Priest Joshua, you and your associates seated before you, who are men symbolic of things to come: I am going to bring my servant, the Branch.

9 See, the stone I have set in front of Joshua! There are seven eyes "on that one stone, and I will engrave an inscription on it,' says the LORD Almighty, 'and I will remove the sin of this land in a single day.

10 "'In that day each of you will invite your neighbor to sit under your vine and fig tree,' declares the LORD Almighty."
