Zechariah 3
1 And he shewed mee Iehoshua the hie Priest, standing before the Angel of the Lord, and Satan stoode at his right hand to resist him.
Yawe alakisaki ngai Jozue, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, oyo azalaki ya kotelema liboso ya Anjelu ya Yawe. Alakisaki ngai lisusu Satana oyo azalaki ya kotelema na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali ya Jozue mpo na kofunda ye.
2 And the Lord said vnto Satan, The Lord reprooue thee, O Satan: euen the Lord that hath chosen Ierusalem, reprooue thee. Is not this a brand taken out of the fire?
Yawe alobaki na Satana: — Satana, tika ete Yawe apamela yo! Tika ete Yawe oyo apona Yelusalemi apamela yo! Boni, moto oyo azali te lokola koni ya moto oyo balongoli na moto?
3 Nowe Iehoshua was clothed with filthie garments, and stoode before the Angel.
Nzokande, Jozue alataki bilamba ya salite tango atelemaki liboso ya Anjelu.
4 And he answered and spake vnto those that stoode before him, saying, Take away the filthie garments from him. And vnto him hee saide, Behold, I haue caused thine iniquitie to depart from thee, and I wil clothe thee with change of raiment.
Bongo Anjelu alobaki na ba-oyo bazalaki kotelema liboso na ye: — Bolongola ye bilamba wana ya salite! Mpe alobaki na Jozue: — Tala, nalongoli masumu na yo mpe nakolatisa yo bilamba ya talo.
5 And I saide, Let them set a faire diademe vpon his head. So they set a faire diademe vpon his head, and clothed him with garments, and the Angel of the Lord stoode by.
Nalobaki: — Bolatisa ye kitendi ya peto oyo bakangaka na moto. Boye, bakangaki ye kitendi ya peto na moto mpe balatisaki ye bilamba mosusu wana Anjelu ya Yawe atelemaki pene na ye.
6 And the Angel of the Lord testified vnto Iehoshua, saying,
Anjelu ya Yawe ayebisaki na Jozue maloba oyo:
7 Thus saith the Lord of hostes, If thou wilt walke in my wayes, and keepe my watch, thou shalt also iudge mine House, and shalt also keepe my courtes, and I will giue thee place among these that stand by.
— Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Soki otamboli na nzela na Ngai mpe obateli mitindo na Ngai, okokamba ndako na Ngai mpe okobatela lopango na Ngai, mpe nakotia yo na molongo ya ba-oyo batelemaka awa.
8 Heare now, O Iehoshua the hie Priest, thou and thy fellowes that sit before thee: for they are monstruous persons: but behold, I wil bring forth the Branche my seruant.
Jozue, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, yo elongo na bandeko na yo, Banganga-Nzambe oyo basalaka elongo na yo, bozali bilembo oyo etalisaka makambo oyo ekoya. Nakobimisa Mosali na Ngai; bakobenga Ye: Moto ya nzete oyo ebimaka na mobimbi.
9 For loe, the stone that I haue layd before Iehoshua: vpon one stone shalbe seuen eyes: beholde, I will cut out the grauing thereof, saith the Lord of hostes, and I will take away the iniquitie of this land in one day.
Tala, natie libanga liboso ya Jozue. Libanga yango ezali na miso sambo, nakokoma makomi na likolo na yango, » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, « mpe nakolongola masumu ya mokili oyo na mokolo moko.
10 In that day, saith the Lord of hostes, shall ye call euery man his neighbour vnder the vine, and vnder the figge tree.
Na mokolo wana, moko na moko kati na bino akobengisa moninga na ye mpo ete bavanda na se ya nzete ya vino mpe ya figi, » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
