1 Derpå 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.

1 Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him.

2 Men 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?"

2 The Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you, Satan! Indeed, the Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a brand plucked from the fire?”

3 Josua havde snavsede Klæder på og stod foran Engelen;

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

4 men 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."

4 He spoke and said to those who were standing before him, saying, “Remove the filthy garments from him.” Again he said to him, “See, I have taken your iniquity away from you and will clothe you with festal robes.”

5 Og 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,

5 Then I said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with garments, while the angel of the Lord was standing by.

6 og HERRENs Engel vidnede for Josua og sagde:

6 And the angel of the Lord admonished Joshua, saying,

7 Så 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"

7 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘If you will walk in My ways and if you will perform My service, then you will also govern My house and also have charge of My courts, and I will grant you free access among these who are standing here.

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

8 Now listen, Joshua the high priest, you and your friends who are sitting in front of you—indeed they are men who are a symbol, for behold, I am going to bring in My servant the Branch.

9 Thi 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.

9 For behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes. Behold, I will engrave an inscription on it,’ declares the Lord of hosts, ‘and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

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

10 ‘In that day,’ declares the Lord of hosts, ‘every one of you will invite his neighbor to sit under his vine and under his fig tree.’”
