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.

He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary.

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?”

The LORD said to Satan, "The LORD rebuke you, Satan. Yes, the LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you. Isn't this a burning stick plucked out of the fire?"

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

Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing 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.”

He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, "Take the filthy garments off of him." To him he said, "Look, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich clothing."

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.

I said, "Let them set a clean turban on his head." So they set a clean turban on his head, and clothed him; and the angel of the LORD was standing by.

6 Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nosiemo Joshua kawachone niya:

The angel of the LORD protested to Joshua, 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 says the LORD of hosts: 'If you will walk in my ways, and if you will follow my instructions, then you also shall judge my house, and shall also keep my courts, and I will give you a place of access among these who stand by.

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, Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows who sit before you; for they are men who are a sign: for, look, I will 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, look, the stone that I have set before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes: look, I will engrave its engraving,' says the LORD of hosts, 'and I will remove 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,' says the LORD of hosts, 'you will invite every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.'"
