3:1 天使（原文作他）又指给我看，大祭司约书亚，站在耶和华的使者面前，撒但也站在约书亚的右边，与他作对。

And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.

 

3:2 耶和华向撒但说，撒但哪，耶和华责备你，就是拣选耶路撒冷的耶和华责备你。这不是从火中抽出来的一根柴吗。

And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?

 

3:3 约书亚穿着污秽的衣服，站在使者面前。

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

 

3:4 使者吩咐站在面前的说，你们要脱去他污秽的衣服。又对约书亚说，我使你脱离罪孽，要给你穿上华美的衣服。

And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.

 

3:5 我说，要将洁净的冠冕戴在他头上。他们就把洁净的冠冕戴在他头上，给他穿上华美的衣服，耶和华的使者在旁边站立。

And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD stood by.

 

3:6 耶和华的使者告诫约书亚说，

And the angel of the LORD protested unto Joshua, saying,

 

3:7 万军之耶和华如此说，你若遵行我的道，谨守我的命令，你就可以管理我的家，看守我的院宇。我也要使你在这些站立的人中间来往。

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by.

 

3:8 大祭司约书亚阿，你和坐在你面前的同伴都当听。（他们是作预兆的）。我必使我仆人大卫的苗裔发出。

Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH.

 

3:9 看哪，我在约书亚面前所立的石头，在一块石头上有七眼。万军之耶和华说，我要亲自雕刻这石头，并要在一日之间，除掉这地的罪孽。

For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

 

3:10 当那日，你们各人要请邻舍坐在葡萄树和无花果树下。这是万军之耶和华说的。

In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.
