¹He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of Yahweh, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary.

¹Derpå lod han mig se Ypperstepræsten Josua, og han stod foran HERRENs Engel, medens Satan stod ved hans højre Side for at føre Klage imod ham.

²Yahweh said to Satan, “Yahweh rebuke you, Satan! Yes, Yahweh who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn’t this a burning stick plucked out of the fire?”

²Men HERREN,sagde til Satan: "HERREN true dig, Satan, HERREN true dig, han, som udvalgte Jerusalem. Er denne ikke en Brand, som er reddet ud af Ilden?"

³Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the angel.

³Josua havde snavsede Klæder på og stod foran Engelen;

⁴He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, “Take the filthy garments off of him.” To him he said, “Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich clothing.”

⁴men denne tog til Orde og sagde til dem, som stod ham til Tjeneste: "Tag de snavsede Klæder af ham!" Og til ham sagde han: "Se, jeg har taget din Skyld fra dig, og du skal have Højtidsklæder på."

⁵I said, “Let them set a clean turban on his head.” So they set a clean turban on his head, and clothed him; and the angel of Yahweh was standing by.

⁵Og han sagde: "Sæt et rent Hovedbind på hans Hoved!" Og de satte et rent Hovedbind på hans Hoved og gav ham rene Klæder på. Så trådte HERRENs Engel frem,

⁶The angel of Yahweh protested to Joshua, saying,

⁶og HERRENs Engel vidnede for Josua og sagde:

⁷“Thus says Yahweh of Armies: ‘If you will walk in my ways, and if you will follow my instructions, then you also shall judge my house, and shall also keep my courts, and I will give you a place of access among these who stand by.

⁷Så siger Hærskarers HERRE: Hvis du vandrer på mine Veje og holder mine Forskrifter, skal du både Råde i mit Hus og vogte mine Forgårde, og jeg giver dig Gang og Sæde blandt dem, som står her"

⁸Hear now, Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows who sit before you; for they are men who are a sign: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant, the Branch.

⁸Hør, du Ypperstepræst Josua, du og dine Embedsbrødre, som sidder for dit Ansigt: de er Varselmænd! Thi se, jeg lader min Tjener Zemak komme.

⁹For, behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes: behold, I will engrave its engraving,’ says Yahweh of Armies, ‘and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

⁹Thi se, den Sten, jeg lægger hen for Josua - på den ene Sten er syv Øjne - se, jeg rister selv dens Indskrift, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE, og på een Dag udsletter jeg dette Lands Skyld.

¹⁰In that day,’ says Yahweh of Armies, ‘you will invite every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.’”

¹⁰På hin Dag, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE, skal I byde hverandre til Gæst under Vinstok og Figenfræ.
