Zechariah 3
1 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.
Et Il me fit voir Josué, le grand sacrificateur, debout devant l'ange de l'Éternel, et Satan debout à sa droite pour l'attaquer.
2 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.”
Et l'Éternel dit à Satan: Que l'Éternel te tance, Satan, que l'Éternel te tance, lui qui a choisi Jérusalem! Celui-ci n'est-il pas un tison sauvé du feu?
3 Joshua was wearing filthy clothes while he was standing in front of the angel.
Et Josué était vêtu d'habits sales, et se tenait debout devant l'ange;
4 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.”
lequel prit la parole et dit à ceux qui étaient debout devant lui: Otez-lui ses habits sales! et lui dit: Voici! je te décharge de ton crime, et te revêts de superbes habits.
5 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.
Et je dis: Qu'on pose une tiare pure sur sa tête! Et ils posèrent une tiare pure sur sa tête et lui mirent des habits. Et l'ange de l'Éternel y présidait.
6 Then the angel said [this] to Joshua:
Et l'ange de l'Éternel lit à Josué cette déclaration solennelle:
7 “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.
Ainsi parle l'Éternel des armées: Si tu suis mes voies et observes mes ordonnances, tu jugeras aussi ma maison, et garderas mes parvis, et je te donnerai des guides parmi ceux qui sont ici présents.
8 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.
Écoute donc, Josué, grand sacrificateur, toi et tes collègues siégeant devant toi! (Car ce sont des hommes figuratifs; car, voici, je fais arriver mon serviteur, le Germe.)
9 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.
Car, voici, la pierre que j'ai placée devant Josué, sur cette seule pierre sept yeux sont fixés et j'en graverai les traits, dit l'Éternel des armées, et j'enlèverai le crime de ce pays en un jour.
10 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.”
En ce jour-là, dit l'Éternel des armées, vous vous crierez l'un à l'autre: Sous la vigne et sous le figuier!
