< Zechariah 3 >
1 Then the angel showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, with Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him.
Ary dia nasehony ahy fa, indro, Josoa mpisoronabe nitsangana teo anatrehan’ Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah, ary Satana nitsangana teo an-kavanany hiampanga azy.
2 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 snatched from the fire?”
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Satana: Hananatra anao anie Jehovah, ry Satana; eny, Jehovah Izay nifidy an’ i Jerosalema anie hananatra anao; tsy forohana nosarihana tamin’ ny afo va ity?
3 Now Joshua was dressed in filthy garments as he stood before the angel.
Ary Josoa nitafy fitafiana maloto ary nitsangana teo anoloan’ Ilay Anjely.
4 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.”
Dia namaly Jehovah ka nilaza tamin’ izay nitsangana teo anoloany hoe: Esory aminy ny fitafiana maloto. Ary hoy koa Izy taminy: Indro, efa nesoriko ny helokao, ary hampiakanjoiko akanjo fihaingoana ianao.
5 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.
Dia hoy izaho: Aoka hasiany hamama madio eo an-dohany. Ka dia nasiany hamama madio teo an-dohany, sady nampitafiny izy; ary Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah dia nitsangana teo.
6 Then the angel of the LORD gave this charge to Joshua:
Ary Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah nilaza marimarina tamin’ i Josoa hoe:
7 “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.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Raha mizotra amin’ ny lalako ianao sy mitandrina ny didiko, dia ianao no hitsara ny amin’ ny tranoko sy hitandrina ny kianjako, sady homeko lalana ho amin’ ireo mitsangana ireo ianao.
8 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.
Koa mihainoa, ry Josoa mpisoronabe, dia ianao sy ny namanao izay mipetraka eo anoloanao; fa olona atao fahagagana ireo; fa, indro, ho entiko Rantsana Mpanompoko.
9 See the stone I have set before Joshua; on that one stone are seven eyes. 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.
Fa, indro, ny vato izay napetrako teo anoloan’ i Josoa, ny vato iray dia banjinin’ ny maso fito; indro, hosoratako ny sorany, hoy Jehovah Tompon’ ny maro, ary hesoriko indray andro monja ny helok’ ity tany ity.
10 On that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, you will each invite your neighbor to sit under your own vine and fig tree.’”
Amin’ izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, dia samy hiantso ny namanareo avy ho eo ambanin’ ny voaloboka sy ho eo ambanin’ ny aviavy ianareo.
