1 Potom mi pokaza Jošuu, velikog svećenika, koji stajaše pred anđelom Jahvinim, i Satana, koji mu stajaše zdesna da ga tuži.
Then he showed me Joshua, the high priest, standing before the messenger of the Lord and the Adversary standing at his right hand to accuse him.
2 Anđeo Jahvin reče Satanu: “Suzbio te Jahve, Satane! Suzbio te Jahve koji izabra Jeruzalem! Nije li on glavnja iz ognja izvučena?”
And the messenger of the Lord said to the Adversary, “May the Lord rebuke you, Adversary! The Lord, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a brand plucked out of the fire?”
3 A Jošua bijaše obučen u prljave haljine dok stajaše pred anđelom Jahvinim.
Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments and was standing before the messenger.
4 Anđeo se obrati onima koji pred njim stajahu i reče im: “Skinite s njega te prljave haljine!” I reče mu: “Evo, skidam s tebe tvoju krivicu i odijevam te u dragocjenu haljinu!”
The messenger said to those who stood before him, “Take off his filthy garments.” Then to Joshua he said, “I have taken your guilt from you and I will clothe you in priestly robes.”
5 I nastavi: “Stavite mu čist povez oko glave!” Oni mu staviše čist povez oko glave i odjenuše ga u dragocjene haljine u nazočnosti anđelovoj.
And he ordered: “Set a clean turban upon his head.” So they set a clean turban on his head, and clothed him with garments. The messenger of the Lord was standing by.
6 I anđeo Jahvin upozori Jošuu:
And the messenger of the Lord testified to Joshua:
7 “Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: 'Ako budeš mojim putovima hodio i mojih se pridržavao naredaba, ti ćeš biti upravitelj u Domu mojemu, čuvat ćeš moja predvorja i dat ću ti pristup među one koji ondje stoje.
The Lord of hosts says: “If you walk in my ways, and if you will keep my instructions, then you will rule my house and keep my courts and I will give you a place of access among these that stand by.
8 Poslušaj, dakle, Jošua, veliki svećeniče, ti i drugovi tvoji koji su oko tebe, jer vi ste ljudi znamenja! Evo, ja ću dovesti Izdanak, Slugu svojega, i uklonit ću opačinu ove zemlje u jedan dan.
Hear now, Joshua the high priest, you and your associates who sit before me; for they are men who are a sign; for I am going to bring forth my servant the Branch.
9 Jer evo kamena koji stavljam pred Jošuu: na tom je kamenu sedam očiju i u nj ću urezati natpis' - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama.
On the stone that I have set before Joshua, on one stone, are seven facets. I will engrave it,” says the Lord of hosts, “and I will remove the guilt of that land in one day.
10 'U dan onaj' - riječ je Jahve nad Vojskama - 'pozivat ćete jedan drugoga pod lozu i pod smokvu.'”
On that day,” says the Lord of hosts, “you will each invite your neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.”
