OET interlinear ZEC 3:3

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

הָיָ֥ה לָבֻ֖שׁ בְּגָדִ֣ים צוֹאִ֑ים

it_became clothed clothes filthy

Zechariah is speaking as if Joshua’s sinfulness were filthy garments that he was wearing. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [filthy clothes signifying sin and guilt] or [was deeply sinful]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠עֹמֵ֖ד לִ⁠פְנֵ֥י הַ⁠מַּלְאָֽךְ

and,[he_was]_standing to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the,angel

Here, to the face of represents “in the presence of.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [standing in the presence of the angel]

Note 3 topic: writing-background

וִ⁠יהוֹשֻׁ֕עַ הָיָ֥ה לָבֻ֖שׁ בְּגָדִ֣ים צוֹאִ֑ים וְ⁠עֹמֵ֖ד לִ⁠פְנֵ֥י הַ⁠מַּלְאָֽךְ

and,Joshua it_became clothed clothes filthy and,[he_was]_standing to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the,angel

Zechariah is providing background information to help readers understand what happens next in the story. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.
