Zechariah 3
1 He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of Jehovah, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary.
Awo n’anjolesa Yoswa, kabona asinga obukulu, ng’ayimiridde mu maaso ga malayika wa Mukama, ne Setaani ng’ayimiridde ku mukono gwe ogwa ddyo okumulumiriza.
2 Jehovah said to Satan, "Jehovah rebuke you, Satan. Yes, Jehovah who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you. Isn't this a burning stick plucked out of the fire?"
Mukama n’agamba Setaani nti, “Mukama akunenye ggwe Setaani, weewaawo Mukama eyeerondedde Yerusaalemi akunenye! Omusajja ono si kisiki ekyaka ekigibbwa mu muliro?”
3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the angel.
Awo Yoswa yali ayimiridde mu maaso ga malayika ng’ayambadde ebyambalo ebijjudde ekko.
4 He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, "Take the filthy garments off of him." To him he said, "Look, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich clothing."
Malayika n’agamba abaali bayimiridde mu maaso ge nti, “Mumwambulemu ebyambalo bye ebijjudde ekko.” N’agamba Yoswa nti, “Laba nkuggyeeko ekibi kyo, era nnaakwambaza ebyambalo eby’omuwendo.”
5 I said, "Let them set a clean turban on his head." So they set a clean turban on his head, and clothed him; and the angel of Jehovah was standing by.
Ne njogera nti, “Mumusibe ekiremba ekitukula ku mutwe gwe.” Awo ne bamusiba ekiremba ekitukula ku mutwe, ne bamwambaza n’engoye, nga malayika wa Mukama ayimiridde awo.
6 The angel of Jehovah protested to Joshua, saying,
Malayika wa Mukama n’akuutira nnyo Yoswa ng’ayogera nti,
7 "Thus says Jehovah of hosts: 'If you will walk in my ways, and if you will follow my instructions, then you also shall judge my house, and shall also keep my courts, and I will give you a place of access among these who stand by.
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye nti, ‘Bw’onootambuliranga mu makubo gange, era noonywezanga bye nkukuutira, kale, onoofuganga ennyumba yange era onoolamulanga mu mbuga zange, era ndikuwa ekifo obeere mu abo abayimiridde wano.
8 Hear now, Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows who sit before you; for they are men who are a sign: for, look, I will bring forth my servant, the Branch.
“‘Kale wulira, Yoswa kabona asinga obukulu, ggwe ne banno abatuula mu maaso go, abantu kw’otegeerera eby’omu maaso, laba ndireeta omuweereza wange, ye Ttabi.
9 For, look, the stone that I have set before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes: look, I will engrave its engraving,' says Jehovah of hosts, 'and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
Kubanga laba, ku jjinja lye ntadde mu maaso ga Yoswa, ku jjinja erimu eririna amaaso omusanvu, laba nditeekako ebiwandiiko,’ bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye. ‘Mu lunaku lumu ndiggyawo ekibi ky’ensi eno.
10 In that day,' says Jehovah of hosts, 'you will invite every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.'"
“‘Ku lunaku luli, buli omu ku mmwe, aliyita muliraanwa we okutuulako wansi w’omuzabbibu gwe ne wansi w’omutiini gwe,’ bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye.”
