Zechariah 1 Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, while Satan stood at his right hand to accuse him. 以后上主使我看见大司祭耶叔亚，站在上主的使者面前，同时撒殚站在耶叔亚右边控告他。 2 And the angel of the LORD said to Satan, ＂May the LORD rebuke you, Satan; may the LORD who has chosen 上主的使者对撒殚说：＂惟愿上主责斥你，撒殚！惟愿拣选耶路撒冷的上主责斥你。这不是由火中抽出来的一根木柴吗？？＂ 3 1 Now Joshua was standing before the angel, clad in filthy garments. 那时耶叔亚身穿污秽的衣服，站在使者的面前。 4 He spoke and said to those who were standing before him, ＂Take off his filthy garments, and clothe him in festal garments.＂ 使者就吩咐那些立在他面前的说：＂脱去他身上污秽的衣服！＂以后向他说：＂看，我已脱去了你的罪过，给你穿上华丽的礼服。＂ 5 He also said, ＂Put a clean miter on his head.＂ And they put a clean miter on his head and clothed him with the garments. Then the angel of the LORD, standing, said, ＂See, I have taken away your guilt.＂ 随后接着吩咐说：＂在他头上缠上一条洁净的头巾！＂他们就在他头上缠上了一条洁净的头巾，给他穿上了洁净的礼服。那时，上主的使者，站在旁边。 6 The angel of the LORD then gave Joshua this assurance: 上主的使者便劝诫耶叔亚说：＂ 7 ＂Thus says the LORD of hosts: If you walk in my ways and heed my charge, you shall judge my house and keep my courts, and I will give you access among these standing here. 万军的上主这样说：如果你遵行我的道路，谨守我的法令，你便可以管理我的家，看守我的庭院；我必要使你在这些侍立者中，自由出入。＂ 8 2 Listen, O Joshua, high priest! You and your associates who sit before you are men of good omen. Yes, I will bring my servant the Shoot. 所以，大司祭耶叔亚，你且听着：你和坐在你面前的同伴都是作预兆的人。看，我必要使我的仆人＂苖芽＂生出。 9 3 Look at the stone that I have placed before Joshua, one stone with seven facets. I will engrave its inscription, says the LORD of hosts, and I will take away the guilt of the land in one day. 看，这是我在耶叔亚面前安置的石头，在这惟一的石头上有七只眼睛；看！我要亲自在石上刻上题名──万军上主的断语──并且要在那一天除去地上的罪恶。 10 On that day, says the LORD of hosts, you will invite one another under your vines and fig trees.＂ 在那一天──万军上主的断语──你们必要互相邀请自己的邻里，到葡萄树和无花果树下。 Footnotes（注解） 1 [3] Filthy garments: symbolic of mourning for the dead, or of national catastrophe, and implying acknowledgment of guilt (Zechariah 3:5). 2 [8] Men of good omen: the restoration of the priesthood is a sign of the coming of the messianic times. My servant the Shoot: identified, in the earliest form of Zechariah 6:11-12 as the prophet composed it, with Zerubbabel, direct descendant of King David and rebuilder of the temple; and, as such, a type of the Messiah; cf Jeremiah 23:5. 3 [9] One stone with seven facets: apparently the same as the select stone of Zechariah 4:7(10) which seems to be a precious gem. The seven facets are explained in Zechariah 4:7(10) as signifying the Lord's vigilance over the world. I will engrave its inscription: the same Hebrew verb for engrave is used in Exodus 28:9, 11 in regard to the inscriptions on the twelve precious stones of the priestly breastpiece. |
