大祭司的异象
天使☛“天使”:原文是“他”。指给我看:约书亚大祭司站在耶和华的使者面前,撒但站在约书亚的右边控告他。
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.
2耶和华向撒但说:“撒但哪,耶和华责备你!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约书亚穿着污秽的衣服,站在那使者面前。Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.
4使者吩咐那些侍立在他面前的说:“脱去他污秽的衣服。”又对约书亚说:“你看,我使你的罪孽离开你,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.
5我说☛“我说”:原文另译“他说”;七十士译本没有“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.
6耶和华的使者告诫约书亚说,And the angel of the LORD protested unto Joshua, saying,
7万军之耶和华如此说:“你若遵行我的道,谨守我的命令,就可以管理我的家,看守我的院宇;我也要使你在这些侍立的人中间来往。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.
8约书亚大祭司啊,你和坐在你面前的同伴都当听,因为他们是作预兆的:看哪,我必使我仆人大卫的苗裔☛“大卫的苗裔”:原文是“苗裔”。长出。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.
9看哪,这是我在约书亚面前所立的石头,这一块石头上有七眼。看哪,我要亲自雕刻这石头,并在一日之间除掉这地的罪孽。这是万军之耶和华说的。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.
10在那日,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.
