Zechariah 3
1 And he shewed me, Joshua the high priest, standing before the messenger of Yahweh, —and, the Accuser, standing at his right hand, to accuse him.
Eka ne onyisa Joshua jadolo maduongʼ kochungʼ e nyim malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye, ka Satan ochungʼ e bathe korachwich mondo ohangne wach.
2 Then said Yahweh unto the Accuser, Yahweh rebuke thee, O Accuser, Yea Yahweh rebuke thee, he who is choosing Jerusalem, —Is not, this, a brand snatched out of the fire?
To Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Satan niya, “Jehova Nyasaye okweri, Satan! Jehova Nyasaye moseyiero Jerusalem okweri! Donge ngʼatni chalo mana ka yien maliel moyudh oko e mach?”
3 Now, Joshua, was clothed with filthy garments, —though standing before the messenger.
Noyudo Joshua orwakore gi lewni mochido sa mane ochungʼ e nyim malaika.
4 Then responded he and spake unto those who were standing before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from off him; and he said unto him, See! I have caused to pass from off thee, thine iniquity, And will cause thee to be clothed in robes of state.
Malaika nowachone joma nochungʼ e nyime niya, “Goluru lepe mochido oko.” Eka nowacho ni Joshua niya, “Ne kaka, asegolo richoni, kendo koro abiro rwaki gi lewni mapichni.”
5 Then said I, Let them put a clean turban upon his head, —So they put the clean turban upon his head, and clothed him with garments, and, the messenger of Yahweh, was standing up.
Eka nawacho niya, “Tweneuru kilemba maler e wiye.” Omiyo ne gitweyone kilemba maler e wiye mi girwakone lewni, ka malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye ochungʼ e bathgi.
6 So then the messenger of Yahweh did solemnly affirm unto Joshua, saying:
Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nosiemo Joshua kawachone niya:
7 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, If, in my ways, thou wilt walk, and if, of my charge, thou wilt keep charge, Then, even thou, shalt govern my house, Moreover also, thou shalt have charge of my courts, —and I will give thee free access among these who stand by.
“Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho: ‘Ka ibiro luwo yorega kendo rito dwaroga, eka ibiro rito oda kendo ibiro rito hekalu mara, kendo abiro miyi kari ka, kaka achiel kuom joma chungʼ e nyima.’
8 Hear, I pray thee, O Joshua the high priest, thou and thy friends who are sitting before thee, for, men to serve as signs, they are, —For behold me! bringing in my servant, the Bud;
“Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho niya, ‘Winji, yaye Joshua jadolo maduongʼ, in kaachiel gi jodolo weteni mobet piny e nyimi, ma gin ranyisi mag gik mabiro timore achien; ni abiro kelo jatichna ma en Bad yath.
9 For lo! the stone which I have set before Joshua, Upon one stone, are Seven (pairs of) Eyes, —Behold me! cutting the engraving thereof, declareth Yahweh of hosts. So will I take away the iniquity of that land in one day.
Neuru kidi ma achungo e nyim Joshua! Nitie wenge abiriyo e kidi achielno, kendo abiro goro ndiko moro kuome, mi agol richo mar pinyni odiechiengʼ achiel.’
10 In that day, declareth Yahweh of hosts, Ye shall invite one another, —[to come] under the vine and under the fig-tree.
“Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho niya, ‘Chiengʼno ngʼato ka ngʼata kuomu noluong wadgi mondo obi oywe e bwo yiende mag mzabibu kod mag ngʼowu.’”
