Zekaria 3

1 Eka ne onyisa Joshua jadolo maduongʼ kochungʼ e nyim malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye, ka Satan ochungʼ e bathe korachwich mondo ohangne wach.

And the Lord shewed me Jesus the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and the Devil stood on his right hand to resist him.

2 To Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Satan niya, “Jehova Nyasaye okweri, Satan! Jehova Nyasaye moseyiero Jerusalem okweri! Donge ngʼatni chalo mana ka yien maliel moyudh oko e mach?”

And the Lords said to the Devil, The Lord rebuke thee, O Devil, even the Lord that has chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: behold! is not this as a brand plucked from the fire?

3 Noyudo Joshua orwakore gi lewni mochido sa mane ochungʼ e nyim malaika.

Now Jesus was clothed in filthy raiment, and stood before the angel.

4 Malaika nowachone joma nochungʼ e nyime niya, “Goluru lepe mochido oko.” Eka nowacho ni Joshua niya, “Ne kaka, asegolo richoni, kendo koro abiro rwaki gi lewni mapichni.”

And [the Lord] answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy raiment from him: and he said to him, Behold, I have taken away thine iniquities: and clothe ye him with a long robe,

5 Eka nawacho niya, “Tweneuru kilemba maler e wiye.” Omiyo ne gitweyone kilemba maler e wiye mi girwakone lewni, ka malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye ochungʼ e bathgi.

and place a pure mitre upon his head. So they placed a pure mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments: and the angel of the Lord stood [by].

6 Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nosiemo Joshua kawachone niya:

And the angel of the Lord testified to Jesus, saying,

7 “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho: ‘Ka ibiro luwo yorega kendo rito dwaroga, eka ibiro rito oda kendo ibiro rito hekalu mara, kendo abiro miyi kari ka, kaka achiel kuom joma chungʼ e nyima.’

Thus saith the Lord Almighty; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and take heed to my charges, then shalt thou judge my house: and if thou wilt diligently keep my court, then will I give thee men to walk in the midst of these that stand [here].

8 “Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho niya, ‘Winji, yaye Joshua jadolo maduongʼ, in kaachiel gi jodolo weteni mobet piny e nyimi, ma gin ranyisi mag gik mabiro timore achien; ni abiro kelo jatichna ma en Bad yath.

Hear now, Jesus the high priest, thou, and thy neighbours that are sitting before [thee]: for they are diviners, for, behold, I bring forth my servant The Branch.

9 Neuru kidi ma achungo e nyim Joshua! Nitie wenge abiriyo e kidi achielno, kendo abiro goro ndiko moro kuome, mi agol richo mar pinyni odiechiengʼ achiel.’

For [as for] the stone which I have set before the face of Jesus, on the one stone are seven eyes: behold, I am digging a trench, saith the Lord Almighty, and I will search out all the iniquity of that land in one day.

10 “Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho niya, ‘Chiengʼno ngʼato ka ngʼata kuomu noluong wadgi mondo obi oywe e bwo yiende mag mzabibu kod mag ngʼowu.’”

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