1 Ja hän näytti minulle ylimmäisen papin Joosuan seisomassa Herran enkelin edessä ja saatanan seisomassa hänen oikealla puolellaan, häntä syyttämässä.
3 Ja Joosua oli puettu saastaisiin vaatteisiin, ja hän seisoi enkelin edessä.
6 Ja Herran enkeli todisti Joosualle sanoen:
8 Kuule, Joosua, ylimmäinen pappi, sinä ja sinun ystäväsi, jotka edessäsi istuvat. Sillä ennusmerkin miehiä he ovat; sillä katso, minä annan tulla palvelijani, Vesan.
9 Sillä katso: kivi, jonka minä olen asettanut Joosuan eteen-siihen yhteen kiveen päin on seitsemän silmää! Katso, minä kaiverran kaiverrukset siihen, sanoo Herra Sebaot, ja otan pois tämän maan pahat teot yhtenä päivänä.
1 And he sheweth me Joshua the high priest standing before the messenger of Jehovah, and the Adversary standing at his right hand, to be an adversary to him.
2 And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary: `Jehovah doth push against thee, O Adversary, Yea, push against thee doth Jehovah, Who is fixing on Jerusalem, Is not this a brand delivered from fire?`
3 And Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and is standing before the messenger.
4 And he answereth and speaketh unto those standing before him, saying: `Turn aside the filthy garments from off him.` And he saith unto him, `See, I have caused thine iniquity to pass away from off thee, so as to clothe thee with costly apparel.`
5 He also said, `Let them set a pure diadem on his head. And they set the pure diadem on his head, and clothe him with garments. And the messenger of Jehovah is standing,
6 and the messenger of Jehovah doth protest to Joshua, saying:
7 `Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: If in My ways thou dost walk, And if My charge thou dost keep, Then also thou dost judge My house, And also thou dost keep My courts, And I have given to thee conductors among these standing by.
8 Hear, I pray thee, Joshua, the high priest, Thou and thy companions sitting before thee, (For men of type [are] they,) For lo, I am bringing in My servant -- a Shoot.
9 For lo, the stone that I put before Joshua, On one stone [are] seven eyes, Lo, I am graving its graving, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, And I have removed the iniquity of that land in one day.
10 In that day -- an affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, Ye do call, each unto his neighbour, Unto the place of the vine, And unto the place of the fig-tree!`
