3:1
And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him.
Then the angel (note: Or Angel; also in verses 3, 4, 5, and 6; corresponding pronouns may also be capitalized.) showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, with Satan (note: That is, the Accuser or the Adversary; also in verse 2) standing at his right hand to accuse him.
3:2
And the LORD said unto Satan: ‘The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan, yea, the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee; is not this man a brand plucked out of the fire?’
And the LORD said to Satan: “The LORD rebukes you, Satan! Indeed, the LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebukes you! Is not this man a firebrand (note: That is, a burning stick) snatched from the fire?”
3:3
Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.
Now Joshua was dressed in filthy garments as he stood before the angel.
3:4
And he answered and spoke unto those that stood before him, saying: ‘Take the filthy garments from off him.’ And unto him he said: ‘Behold, I cause thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with robes.’
So the angel said to those standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes!” Then he said to Joshua, “See, I have removed your iniquity, and I will clothe you with splendid robes.”
3:5
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.
Then I said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head.” So a clean turban was placed on his head, and they clothed him, as the angel of the LORD stood by.
3:6
And the angel of the LORD forewarned Joshua, saying:
Then the angel of the LORD gave this charge to Joshua:
3:7
’Thus saith the LORD of hosts: If thou wilt walk in My ways, and if thou wilt keep My charge, and wilt also judge My house, and wilt also keep My courts, then I will give thee free access among these that stand by.
“This is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘If you walk in My ways and keep My instructions, then you will govern My house and will also have charge of My courts; and I will give you a place among these who are standing here.
3:8
Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou and thy fellows that sit before thee; for they are men that are a sign; for, behold, I will bring forth My servant the Shoot.
Hear now, O high priest Joshua, you and your companions seated before you, who are indeed a sign. For behold, I am going to bring My servant, the Branch.
3:9
For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone are seven facets; behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts: And I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
See the stone I have set before Joshua; on that one stone are seven eyes (note: Or facets). Behold, I will engrave on it an inscription, declares the LORD of Hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of this land in a single day.
In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig-tree.
On that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, you will each invite your neighbor to sit under your own vine and fig tree.’”
