Zechariah 3

Fourth Vision: Joshua and Satan

1 # Ezra 5.2; Rev 12.10. I was given another vision. This time Joshua the high priest was standing in front of the Lord's angel. And there was Satan, standing at Joshua's right side, ready to accuse him. 2#Jd 9. But the Lord said, “Satan, you are wrong. Jerusalem is my chosen city, and this man was rescued like a stick from a flaming fire.”

3Joshua's clothes were filthy. 4So the angel told some of the people to remove Joshua's filthy clothes. Then he said to Joshua, “This means you are forgiven. Now I will dress you in priestly clothes.”

5I spoke up and said, “Also put a clean priestly turban on his head.” Then they dressed him in priestly clothes and put the turban on him, while the Lord's angel stood there watching.

6After this, the angel encouraged Joshua by telling him that the Lord All-Powerful had promised:

7If you truly obey me, I will put you in charge of my temple, including the courtyard around it, and you will be allowed to speak at any time with the angels standing beside me.#3.7 with the angels … me: Or “with me.” The angels are members of God's Council, who stand beside the throne of God in heaven and are allowed to speak with him and for him. 8#Jr 23.5; 33.15; Zec 6.12,13. Listen carefully, High Priest Joshua and all of you other priests. You are a sign of things to come, because I am going to bring my servant, the Chosen King.#3.8 Chosen King: The Hebrew text has “Sprout” or “Branch,” a term used of royalty (see Isaiah 11.1).

9Joshua, I have placed in front of you a stone with seven sides.#3.9 seven sides: Or “seven eyes.” I will engrave something on that stone, and in a single day I will forgive this guilty country. 10#Mic 4.4. Then each of you will live at peace and entertain your friends in your own vineyard and under your own fig trees.

Zacarias 3

Ang Pangitain tungkol kay Josue

1Ipinakita#Ez. 5:2; Pah. 12:10. sa akin ni Yahweh ang pinakapunong paring si Josue na nakatayo sa harapan ng anghel ni Yahweh. Siya ay paparatangan ni Satanas na noo'y nasa kanyang kanan. 2Sinabi#Ju. 9. ng anghel ni Yahweh kay Satanas,#3:2 SATANAS: Sa wikang Hebreo, ang kahulugan ng salitang ito'y “Kaaway” o kaya'y “tagapagparatang”. “Hatulan ka nawa ni Yahweh, Satanas. Hatulan ka nawa ni Yahweh na pumili sa Jerusalem. Ang taong ito ay gaya ng isang patpat na inagaw sa apoy.”

3Nakatayo si Josue sa harapan ng anghel at ang suot ay maruming damit. 4Sinabi ng anghel sa mga naroon, “Hubarin ang gulanit niyang kasuotan.” Bumaling siya kay Josue at sinabi, “Nilinis na kita sa iyong kasamaan at ngayo'y bibihisan ng magarang kasuotan.”

5Bumaling muli ang anghel sa kanyang mga inutusan at sinabi, “Suotan ninyo siya ng malinis na turbante.” Gayon nga ang ginawa nila. At binihisan nila si Josue habang nakamasid ang anghel ni Yahweh.

6Pagkatapos, tinagubilinan si Josue ng anghel ni Yahweh. 7Ito ang ipinapasabi ni Yahweh na Makapangyarihan sa lahat: “Kung lalakad ka sa aking mga landas at susundin mo ang aking mga utos, pamamahalain kita sa aking templo at sa buong paligid nito. Bukod dito, diringgin ko ang mga dalangin mo tulad ng pagdinig ko sa dalangin ng mga anghel na ito. 8Makinig#Jer. 23:5; 33:15; Zac. 6:12. ka, Josue na pinakapunong pari! Ikaw at ang iyong mga kasamahang pari ay mabuting palatandaan ng mga mangyayari sa hinaharap. Palilitawin ko ang Sanga na aking lingkod. 9At ang batong ibibigay ko sa iyo, na may pitong tapyas ay uukitan ko ng aking mga salita, at sa loob ng isang araw ay aalisin ko ang kasamaan sa buong lupain. 10Sa#Mik. 4:4. araw na iyon, sabi ni Yahweh na Makapangyarihan sa lahat, aanyayahan ng bawat isa sa inyo ang kanyang kaibigan upang magsama-sama sa ubasan ninyo at sa ilalim ng inyong mga punong igos.”
