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 Sitten Herra antoi minun nähdä ylipappi Joosuan, joka seisoi Herran enkelin edessä. Saatana seisoi Joosuan oikealla puolella ja syytti häntä.
3 Joosua seisoi enkelin edessä, likaiset vaatteet päällään.
6 Herran enkeli vakuutti Joosualle:
7 Näin sanoo Herra Sebaot: -- Jos kuljet minun teitäni ja noudatat säädöksiä, jotka olen sinulle antanut, saat hallita temppelissäni ja valvoa esipihojani. Minä korotan sinut näiden palvelijoitteni joukkoon.
9 Näettekö kiven, jonka olen pannut Joosuan eteen? Siinä yhdessä kivessä on seitsemän silmää! -- Katsokaa, minä kaiverran siihen kirjoitukseni, sanoo Herra Sebaot. Yhdessä hetkessä minä otan pois tämän maan synnin.
