1 And he let me see Joshua, the high priest, in his place before the angel of the Lord, and the Satan at his right hand ready to take up a cause against him.
2 And the Lord said to the Satan, May the Lord's word be sharp against you, O Satan, the word of the Lord who has taken Jerusalem for himself: is this not a burning branch pulled out of the fire?
3 Now Joshua was clothed in unclean robes, and he was in his place before the angel.
4 And he made answer and said to those who were there before him, Take the unclean robes off him, and let him be clothed in clean robes;
5 And let them put a clean head-dress on his head. So they put a clean head-dress on his head, clothing him with clean robes: and to him he said, See, I have taken your sin away from you.
6 And the angel of the Lord made a statement to Joshua, and said,
7 These are the words of the Lord of armies: If you will go in my ways and keep what I have put in your care, then you will be judge over my Temple and have the care of my house, and I will give you the right to come in among those who are there.
8 Give ear now, O Joshua, the high priest, you and your friends who are seated before you; for these are men who are a sign: for see, I will let my servant the Branch be seen.
9 For see, the stone which I have put before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes: see, the design cut on it will be my work, says the Lord of armies, and I will take away the sin of that land in one day.
10 In that day, says the Lord of armies, you will be one another's guests under the vine and under the fig-tree.
1 耶和华又使我看见大祭司约书亚站在耶和华的使者面前, 撒但也站在约书亚右边控告他。
2 耶和华对撒但说: "撒但哪! 耶和华斥责你, 那拣选了耶路撒冷的耶和华斥责你。这个人不是从火中抽出来的一根柴吗?"
3 那时, 约书亚穿着污秽的衣服, 站在使者的面前。
4 使者吩咐那些侍立在他面前的说: "你们要脱去他污秽的衣服。"又对约书亚说: "看哪! 我已经除去了你的罪孽, 要给你穿上华美的礼服。"
5 我说: "你们要把洁净的冠冕戴在他的头上。"他们就把洁净的冠冕戴在他的头上, 又给他穿上华美的衣服。那时, 耶和华的使者正在旁边站着。
6 耶和华的使者劝戒约书亚说:
7 "万军之耶和华这样说: ‘你若遵行我的道, 谨守我的吩咐, 你就必治理我的家, 看守我的院子, 我必赐你特权, 可以在这些侍立在我面前的使者中间自由出入。
8 大祭司约书亚啊! 你和坐在你面前的众同伴都要听, (他们都是预表将来奇事的人, )我必使我的仆人, 就是大卫的苗裔出生。
9 看我在约书亚面前所立的石头, 在这一块石头上有七眼。看哪! 我要亲自雕琢这石头(这是万军之耶和华的宣告)。在一日之内, 我要除去这地的罪孽。
10 到那日(这是万军之耶和华的宣告), 你们各人要邀请自己的邻舍来, 坐在葡萄树下和无花果树下。’"
