Segalaia 3

1 Na da esala ba: su eno ba: i. Amoga ba: loba, Hina Gode da nama gobele salasu Ouligisu dunu Yosiua, amo Hina Gode Ea a: igele ea midadi lelebe, amo nama olei. Amola Yosiua la: idi bega: dafulili Sa: ida: ne lelebe ba: i. Sa: ida: ne da Yosiuama diwaneya udidili sia: musa: momagele lelebe ba: i.

Then [Yahweh] showed me Joshua, the Supreme Priest, [who was] standing in front of the angel that Yahweh had sent. And Satan was standing at Joshua’s right side, [ready] to accuse him.

2 Hina Gode Ea a: igele dunu da Sa: ida: nema agoane sia: i, “Sa: ida: ne! Hina Gode da dima diwaneya udidimu da defea. Hina Gode da Yelusalemema asigisa, amola E da dima diwaneya udidimu da defea. Goe dunu da ifa daba: laluga nemu gadenei, amoganini dale fasibi agoai ba: sa.”

But Yahweh said to Satan, “Satan, I am rebuking you! I [am the one] who has chosen Jerusalem [to be my special city, and I] am rebuking you! This [man, Joshua], [has been brought back from Babylonia]; he is surely [like] [MET, RHQ] a burning stick that has been snatched from a fire.”

3 Yosiua da amogai ledo bagade abula amo ga: ne lelebe ba: i.

Joshua was wearing filthy clothes while he was standing in front of the angel.

4 A: igele dunu da ea hadigi hawa: hamosu fidisu dunu ilima amane sia: i, “Amo dunu ea abula ledo bagade hamoi ga: i dialebe amo gisa: le fasima.” Amalu e da Yosiuama amane sia: i, “Na da dia wadela: i hou fadegale fasi dagoi. Amola na da dima abula gaheabolo ga: ma: ne imunu.”

The angel said to those [other angels] who were standing in front of him, “Take off his filthy clothes!” [After they did that, ] the angel said to Joshua, “Look! I have taken away [the guilt of] your sins, and I will put beautiful clothes on you.”

5 E da ea hadigi hawa: hamosu fidisu dunu ilima, Yosiua ea dialuma da: iya habuga fofoloi amo ligisima: ne sia: i. Ilia da amo defele hamoi. Amalu ilia da Yosiuama abula gaheabolo ga: sisi. Ilia da amo hamonanoba, Hina Gode Ea a: igele dunu da amogawi lelu.

Then I said to them, “Put a clean turban on his head!” So they put a clean turban on his head and put [new] on him, while the angel sent by Yahweh was standing there.

6 Amalalu, a:igele da Yosiuama amane sia: i,

Then the angel said [this] to Joshua:

7 “Hina Gode Bagadedafa da amane sia: ba: , ‘Di da Na malasu nabawane hamosea, amola hawa: hamosu Na dima hamoma: ne sia: i amo hamosea, di da mae fisili gebewane Na Debolo Diasu amola ea gagoi sogebi amo ouligisu hou hamonanumu. Amola Na da a: igele dunu Na midadi esalebe amo ilia sia: ne gadosu nababe, amo defele Na da dia sia: ne gadosu nabimu.

“The Commander of the armies of angels says that if you do what I want you to do [IDM], and obey my instructions, you will (be in charge of/have authority over) [what is done in] my temple and its courtyard. And I will allow you to speak at any time to the angels who are standing near to me.

8 Yosiua! Di da gobele salasu Ouligisu dunu! Amaiba: le, noga: le nabima! Amola, dilia Yosiua amola gilisili gobele salasu hamosu dunu! Dilia da Isala: ili da fa: no hahawane ba: ma: ne, dawa: digisu olelesu agoane esala. Amaiba: le, dilia amola noga: le nabima! Na da Na hawa: hamosu dunu, Ea Dio amo da Ifa Amoda, amo dilima olemu.

Joshua, [you are] the Supreme Priest, and your (associates/fellow priests) are sitting in front of you. They symbolize/represent things that will happen in the future. [Some day] I am going to bring someone who will work for me, someone who will be called the Branch.

9 Na da Yosiua ea midadi amoga gele afadafa (amo gele da: iya da si fesuale gala) amo ligisimu. Na da amo gele da: iya faele dedemu. Amola eso afae fawane amoga, Na da Isala: ili soge ea wadela: i hou huluane fadegale fasimu.

Look at the stone that I have put in front of Joshua. There are seven sides on the stone. I will engrave a message on that stone, and in one day I will remove the guilt of [all the people of] this country.

10 Amo eso da doaga: sea, dilia huluane afae afae da dilia na: iyado dunu misa: ne hiougimu. Ilia da misini, olofoiwane amola gaga: iwane, dilia waini sagai amola figi ifa bugi amoga sisiga: le disili, hahawane esalumu.”

At that time, each of you will invite his friends [to come and sit] under his grapevine and under his fig tree. [That is what] the Commander of the armies of angels declares.”
