1 O Senhor mostrou-me o sumo sacerdote Josué, de pé diante do anjo do Senhor; Satã estava à sua direita como acusador.
2 O {anjo do} Senhor disse a Satã: O Senhor te confunda, Satã! Confunda-te o Senhor que escolheu Jerusalém. {Josué} não é porventura um tição escapado ao incêndio?
3 Josué, vestido com roupas sujas, estava de pé diante do anjo do Senhor.
4 O Senhor falou àqueles que estavam à volta dele, dizendo: Tirai-lhe essas roupas sujas. Depois disse a Josué: Eis que tirei de ti a tua imundície e te revesti de roupa de festa.
5 E acrescentou: Ponde-lhe na cabeça uma tiara limpa. Eles puseram-lhe na cabeça uma tiara limpa e fizeram-no mudar de vestes em presença do anjo do Senhor.
6 Em seguida, o anjo do Senhor declarou a Josué:
7 Eis o que diz o Senhor dos exércitos: se andares nos meus caminhos e fores fiel no meu serviço, governarás a minha casa, guardarás os meus átrios e dar-te-ei lugar entre estes que estão aqui diante de mim.
8 Ouve, ó Josué, sumo sacerdote, tu e teus colegas que se sentam diante de ti - porque são pessoas de presságio: porque eis que farei vir o meu servo Gérmen.
9 Eis a pedra que pus diante de Josué; sobre essa pedra estão sete olhos; gravarei eu mesmo sobre ela a inscrição - oráculo do Senhor dos exércitos - e num só dia tirarei o mal desta terra.
10 Naquele dia - oráculo do Senhor dos exércitos - convidareis uns aos outros para debaixo de sua vinha e de sua figueira.
1 And he let me see Joshua, the high priest, in his place before the angel of the Lord, and the Satan at his right hand ready to take up a cause against him.
2 And the Lord said to the Satan, May the Lord's word be sharp against you, O Satan, the word of the Lord who has taken Jerusalem for himself: is this not a burning branch pulled out of the fire?
3 Now Joshua was clothed in unclean robes, and he was in his place before the angel.
4 And he made answer and said to those who were there before him, Take the unclean robes off him, and let him be clothed in clean robes;
5 And let them put a clean head-dress on his head. So they put a clean head-dress on his head, clothing him with clean robes: and to him he said, See, I have taken your sin away from you.
6 And the angel of the Lord made a statement to Joshua, and said,
7 These are the words of the Lord of armies: If you will go in my ways and keep what I have put in your care, then you will be judge over my Temple and have the care of my house, and I will give you the right to come in among those who are there.
8 Give ear now, O Joshua, the high priest, you and your friends who are seated before you; for these are men who are a sign: for see, I will let my servant the Branch be seen.
9 For see, the stone which I have put before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes: see, the design cut on it will be my work, says the Lord of armies, and I will take away the sin of that land in one day.
10 In that day, says the Lord of armies, you will be one another's guests under the vine and under the fig-tree.
