Zaccharias Propheta 3

1 et ostendit mihi Iesum sacerdotem magnum stantem coram angelo Domini et Satan stabat a dextris eius ut adversaretur ei

He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the LORD’s angel, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary.

2 et dixit Dominus ad Satan increpet Dominus in te Satan et increpet Dominus in te qui elegit Hierusalem numquid non iste torris est erutus de igne

The LORD said to Satan, “The LORD rebuke you, Satan! Yes, the LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn’t this a burning stick plucked out of the fire?”

3 et Iesus erat indutus vestibus sordidis et stabat ante faciem angeli

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

4 qui respondit et ait ad eos qui stabant coram se dicens auferte vestimenta sordida ab eo et dixit ad eum ecce abstuli a te iniquitatem tuam et indui te mutatoriis

He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, “Take the filthy garments off him.” To him he said, “Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich clothing.”

5 et dixit ponite cidarim mundam super caput eius et posuerunt cidarim mundam super caput eius et induerunt eum vestibus et angelus Domini stabat

I said, “Let them set a clean turban on his head.” So they set a clean turban on his head, and clothed him; and the LORD’s angel was standing by.

6 et contestabatur angelus Domini Iesum dicens

The LORD’s angel solemnly assured Joshua, saying,

7 haec dicit Dominus exercituum si in viis meis ambulaveris et custodiam meam custodieris tu quoque iudicabis domum meam et custodies atria mea et dabo tibi ambulantes de his qui nunc hic adsistunt

“The LORD of Hosts says: ‘If you will walk in my ways, and if you will follow my instructions, then you also shall judge my house, and shall also keep my courts, and I will give you a place of access amongst these who stand by.

8 audi Iesu sacerdos magne tu et amici tui qui habitant coram te quia viri portendentes sunt ecce enim ego adducam servum meum orientem

Hear now, Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows who sit before you, for they are men who are a sign; for, behold, I will bring out my servant, the Branch.

9 quia ecce lapis quem dedi coram Iesu super lapidem unum septem oculi sunt ecce ego celabo sculpturam eius ait Dominus exercituum et auferam iniquitatem terrae illius in die una

For, behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua: on one stone are seven eyes; behold, I will engrave its inscription,’ says the LORD of Hosts, ‘and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

10 in die illa dicit Dominus exercituum vocabit vir amicum suum subter vineam et subter ficum

In that day,’ says the LORD of Hosts, ‘you will invite every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.’”
