Ang Pangitain tungkol kay Josue

Ipinakita(A) 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. Sinabi(B) ng anghel ni Yahweh kay Satanas,[a] “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.”

Nakatayo si Josue sa harapan ng anghel at ang suot ay maruming damit. Sinabi 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.”

Bumaling 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.

Pagkatapos, tinagubilinan si Josue ng anghel ni Yahweh. Ito 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. Makinig(C) 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. At 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. 10 Sa(D) 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.”

Clean Garments for the High Priest

Then he showed me Joshua(A) the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan[a](B) standing at his right side to accuse him. The Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you,(C) Satan! The Lord, who has chosen(D) Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick(E) snatched from the fire?”(F)

Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel. The angel said to those who were standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes.”

Then he said to Joshua, “See, I have taken away your sin,(G) and I will put fine garments(H) on you.”

Then I said, “Put a clean turban(I) on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him, while the angel of the Lord stood by.

The angel of the Lord gave this charge to Joshua: “This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘If you will walk in obedience to me and keep my requirements,(J) then you will govern my house(K) and have charge(L) of my courts, and I will give you a place among these standing here.(M)

“‘Listen, High Priest(N) Joshua, you and your associates seated before you, who are men symbolic(O) of things to come: I am going to bring my servant, the Branch.(P) See, the stone I have set in front of Joshua!(Q) There are seven eyes[b](R) on that one stone,(S) and I will engrave an inscription on it,’ says the Lord Almighty, ‘and I will remove the sin(T) of this land in a single day.

10 “‘In that day each of you will invite your neighbor to sit(U) under your vine and fig tree,(V)’ declares the Lord Almighty.”

The Fourth Vision: Joshua and Satan Stand Before the Angel of the Lord

Then he showed me Joshua, the high priest, standing before the Angel of the Lord, and Satan was standing at his right hand to accuse him.

The Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Isn’t this man a burning stick plucked from a fire?”

Now Joshua was clothed in filthy clothing and was standing in front of the Angel. Then the Angel of the Lord spoke to those who were standing in front of him: “Remove his filthy clothing.”

Then he said to Joshua, “See, I have taken your guilt away from you, so that I may clothe you in a special robe.”

I said,[a] “Let them place a clean turban on his head.” So they placed a clean turban on his head and got him dressed, while the Angel of the Lord was standing by.

Then the Angel of the Lord spoke solemnly to Joshua:

This is what the Lord of Armies says. If you will walk in my ways and carry out my ministry, then you will also govern my house and watch over my courts, and I will give you access among those who are standing here.

Now listen, High Priest Joshua, you and your associates who sit in front of you—because these men are a sign. Look! I am going to bring my servant, the Branch. Look carefully at the stone that I placed in front of Joshua! On one stone with seven facets[b] I will engrave an inscription, declares the Lord of Armies, and I will remove the guilt of this land in a single day.

10 On that day, declares the Lord of Armies, each one of you will invite his neighbor to join him under his vine and under his fig tree.

  2. Zechariah 3:9 Literally eyes

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.

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?

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

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.

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.

And the angel of the Lord protested unto Joshua, saying,

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.

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.

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 In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.
