< Zacharias 3 >

1 And the Lord showed me Jesus the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and the Devil stood on his right hand to resist him.
Innis utuu Iyyaasuun lubichi ol aanaan fuula ergamaa Waaqayyoo dura dhaabatee, Seexanni immoo isa himachuuf karaa harka mirga isaa dhaabatuu na argisiise.
2 And the Lords said to the Devil, The Lord rebuke you, O Devil, even the Lord that has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you: behold! is not this as a brand plucked from the fire?
Waaqayyos Seexanaan akkana jedhe; “Seexana nana, Waaqayyo si haa ifatu! Waaqayyo inni Yerusaalemin filate si haa ifatu! Namichi kun mukukkula ibidda bobaʼu keessaa butame mitii?”
3 Now Jesus was clothed in filthy raiment, and stood before the angel.
Iyyaasuun yeroo ergamaa Waaqayyoo sana dura dhaabatetti uffata xuraaʼaa uffatee ture.
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 your iniquities: and clothe you him with a long robe,
Ergamaan Waaqayyoo sunis warra isa dura dhaabachaa turan sanaan, “Uffata isaa xuraaʼaa isa irraa baasaa” jedhe. Innis ergasii Iyyaasuudhaan, “Kunoo ani cubbuu kee sirraa fuudhee uffata miidhagaa sittin uffisa” jedhe.
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].
Anis, “Mataa isaa irra marata qulqulluu kaaʼaafii” nan jedhe. Kanaafuu isaan utuma ergamaan Waaqayyoo sun achi dhaabatee jiruu, marata qulqulluu mataa isaa irra kaaʼanii uffata itti uffisan.
6 And the angel of the Lord testified to Jesus, saying,
Ergamaan Waaqayyoo sunis ajaja kana Iyyaasuuf kenne:
7 Thus says the Lord Almighty; If you will walk in my ways, and take heed to my charges, then shall you judge my house: and if you will diligently keep my court, then will I give you men to walk in the midst of these that stand [here].
“Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha; ‘Ati yoo karaa koo irra deemtee ajaja koo eegde, mana koo ni bulchita; itti gaafatamaa oobdii koo ni taata; anis warra as dhadhaabatan kana gidduutti iddoo siif nan kenna.
8 Hear now, Jesus the high priest, you, and your neighbors that are sitting before [you]: for they are diviners, for, behold, I bring forth my servant The Branch.
“‘Yaa Iyyaasuu lubicha ol aanaa, atii fi gareen kee warri fuula kee dura tataaʼan, namoonni waan dhufuuf jiruuf mallattoo taʼan waan kana dhaggeeffadhaa. Ani tajaajilaa koo Damee sana nan fida.
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, says the Lord Almighty, and I will search out all the iniquity of that land in one day.
Dhagaa ani fuula Iyyaasuu dura kaaʼe ilaalaa! Dhagaa tokkicha sana irra ija torbatu jira; anis barreeffama isa irratti nan qiriixa’ jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu; ‘cubbuu biyya kanaas guyyuma tokkotti nan balleessa.
10 In that day, says the Lord Almighty, you shall call together every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.
“‘Bara sana tokkoon tokkoon namaa muka wayiniitii fi muka harbuu isaa jala taaʼuuf ollaa isaa ni waammata’ jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.”
