< Zacharias 3 >

1 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.
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 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?
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 Jesus was clothed in filthy raiment, and stood before the angel.
Ary Josoa nitafy fitafiana maloto ary nitsangana teo anoloan’ Ilay Anjely.
4 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,
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 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].
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 And the angel of the Lord testified to Jesus, saying,
Ary Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah nilaza marimarina tamin’ i Josoa hoe:
7 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].
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, 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.
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 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.
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 In that day, saith the Lord Almighty, ye shall call together every man his neighbour under the vine and under the 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.
