Zechariah, 3

1. And the Lord revealed to me: Jesus the high priest, standing in the sight of the angel of the Lord. And Satan stood before his right hand, so as to be his adversary.

1. Potom mi pokaza Jošuu, velikog sveæenika, koji stajaše pred anðelom Jahvinim, i Satana, koji mu stajaše zdesna da ga tuži.

2. And the Lord said to Satan, “May the Lord rebuke you, Satan! And may the Lord, who chose Jerusalem, rebuke you! Are you not a firebrand plucked from the fire?”

2. Anðeo Jahvin reèe Satanu: "Suzbio te Jahve, Satane! Suzbio te Jahve koji izabra Jeruzalem! Nije li on glavnja iz ognja izvuèena?"

3. And Jesus was clothed with filthy garments. And he stood before the face of an angel.

3. A Jošua bijaše obuèen u prljave haljine dok stajaše pred anðelom Jahvinim.

4. He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, “Take away the filthy garments from him.” And he said to him, “Behold, I have taken away from you your iniquity, and I have clothed you with a change of clothing.”

4. Anðeo se obrati onima koji pred njim stajahu i reèe im: "Skinite s njega te prljave haljine!" I reèe mu: "Evo, skidam s tebe tvoju krivicu i odijevam te u dragocjenu haljinu!"

5. And he said, “Place a clean diadem on his head.” And they placed a clean diadem on his head, and they clothed him with garments. And the angel of the Lord remained standing.

5. I nastavi: "Stavite mu èist povez oko glave!" Oni mu staviše èist povez oko glave i odjenuše ga u dragocjene haljine u nazoènosti anðelovoj.

6. And the angel of the Lord contested with Jesus, saying:

6. I anðeo Jahvin upozori Jošuu:

7. Thus says the Lord of hosts: If you will walk in my ways and keep my charge, you likewise will judge my house and will keep my courts, and I will give you some of those who now attend here to walk with you.

7. "Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama: 'Ako budeš mojim putovima hodio i mojih se pridržavao naredaba, ti æeš biti upravitelj u Domu mojemu, èuvat æeš moja predvorja i dat æu ti pristup meðu one koji ondje stoje.

8. Listen, Jesus the high priest, you and your friends, who dwell before you, who have been portending to men. For behold, I will lead my servant to the East.

8. Poslušaj, dakle, Jošua, veliki sveæenièe, ti i drugovi tvoji koji su oko tebe, jer vi ste ljudi znamenja! Evo, ja æu dovesti Izdanak, Slugu svojega, i uklonit æu opaèinu ove zemlje u jedan dan.

9. For behold, the stone that I have bestowed before Jesus. Upon one stone, there are seven eyes. Behold, I will carve its engraving, says the Lord of hosts. And I will take away the iniquity of that land in one day.

9. Jer evo kamena koji stavljam pred Jošuu: na tom je kamenu sedam oèiju i u nj æu urezati natpis' - rijeè je Jahve nad Vojskama.

10. On that day, says the Lord of hosts, every man will call his friend from under the vine and from under the fig tree.

10. 'U dan onaj' - rijeè je Jahve nad Vojskama - 'pozivat æete jedan drugoga pod lozu i pod smokvu.'"

3:1-2 - The vision of Joshua the high priest before the angel of the Lord reveals divine forgiveness and cleansing. Joshua, as the representative of the people, symbolically stands before God, his garments soiled, but he is cleansed and restored by God, indicating divine grace that purifies the sinner (see also Isaiah 1:18 and Revelation 7:14).

3:3-4 - Joshua's purification through the exchange of his filthy garments for clean ones is a symbol of the justification and renewal of God's people. This vision anticipates the redemptive work of Christ, who, through His death, offers purification for all (see also 2 Corinthians 5:21 and Revelation 19:8).

3:5-7 - The angel of the Lord promises Joshua and his fellow priests a complete restoration with a glorious future. This promise points to the Messiah, who would come to fully restore the priesthood and their relationship with God (see also 1 Peter 2:9 and Hebrews 7:24-25).

3:8-10 - The promise that the "Branch" would come to remove the iniquity of the people is fulfilled in Jesus Christ. The "Branch" is a messianic reference, pointing to the Savior who would bring salvation and complete cleansing (see also Jeremiah 23:5-6 and Acts 13:23).

Ephesians 5:27: "And to present her to himself as a glorious church, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but holy and without blemish." - The purification of the church described by Paul resembles the purification of Joshua, the high priest, in Zechariah 3.
