< Zechariah 3 >

1 And he shows me Joshua the high priest standing before the Messenger of YHWH, and Satan standing at his right hand, to be an adversary to him.
Konsa, li te montre mwen Josué, wo prèt ki te kanpe devan zanj SENYÈ a, ak Satan ki te kanpe sou men dwat li pou akize li.
2 And YHWH says to Satan: “YHWH pushes against you, O Satan, Indeed, YHWH pushes against you, Who is fixing on Jerusalem, Is this not a brand delivered from fire?”
SENYÈ a te di a Satan: “SENYÈ a repwoche ou, Satan! Anverite, SENYÈ ki te chwazi Jérusalem nan va repwoche ou! Èske sa se pa yon bout bwa cho ki retire soti nan dife?”
3 And Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and is standing before the Messenger.
Alò, Josué te abiye ak rad sal, e te kanpe devan zanj lan.
4 And He answers and speaks to those standing before Him, saying, “Turn aside the filthy garments from off him.” And He says to him, “See, I have caused your iniquity to pass away from off you, so as to clothe you with costly apparel.”
Li te pale, e te di a sila ki te kanpe devan l yo: “Retire rad sal yo sou li.” A li menm Li te di, “Gade byen, Mwen te retire inikite sou ou, e Mwen va abiye ou ak vètman byen chè.”
5 He also said, “Let them set a pure turban on his head.” And they set the pure turban on his head, and clothe him with garments. And the Messenger of YHWH is standing,
Mwen te di: “Kite yo mete yon tiban pwòp sou tèt li.” Konsa, yo te mete yon tiban pwòp sou tèt li, e yo te abiye li. Zanj SENYÈ a te kanpe sou kote.
6 and the Messenger of YHWH protests to Joshua, saying,
Zanj SENYÈ a ak vwa solanèl te asire Josué. Li te di:
7 “Thus said YHWH of Hosts: If you walk in My ways, And if you keep My charge, Then also you judge My house, And also you keep My courts, And I have given to you conductors among these standing by.
“Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: ‘Si ou va mache nan chemen Mwen yo, si ou va fè sèvis Mwen, alò, ou va osi gouvène lakay Mwen an. Ou va osi gadyen lakou Mwen an, e ou va gen lib aksè pami tout sila ki kanpe la yo.
8 Now hear, O Joshua the high priest, You and your companions sitting before you (For men of type [are] they), For behold, I am bringing in My servant—a Shoot.
Alò koute, Josué, wo prèt la, ou menm ak zanmi ki chita devan ou yo—anverite, yo se moun ki sèvi kon yon sign. Paske gade byen, Mwen va fè parèt sèvitè Mwen an Scion an.
9 For behold, the stone that I put before Joshua, On one stone [are] seven eyes, Behold, I am engraving its engraving, A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, And I have removed the iniquity of that land in one day.
Paske gade byen, wòch ke Mwen te plase devan Josué a; sou yon sèl wòch, gen sèt zye. Gade byen, men mo a, Mwen va fè grave sou li,’ deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo. ‘Epi Mwen va retire inikite a peyi sa a nan yon sèl jou.
10 In that day—a declaration of YHWH of Hosts, You call, each to his neighbor, To the place of the vine, And to the place of the fig tree!”
Nan jou sa a,’ deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo: ‘nou chak va envite vwazen nou yo pou vin chita anba pye rezen an ak anba pye fig pa nou.’”
