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.
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 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?
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 Now, Joshua, was clothed with filthy garments, —though standing before the messenger.
Alò, Josué te abiye ak rad sal, e te kanpe devan zanj lan.
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.
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 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.
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 So then the messenger of Yahweh did solemnly affirm unto Joshua, saying:
Zanj SENYÈ a ak vwa solanèl te asire Josué. Li te di:
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.
“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 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;
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 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.
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, declareth Yahweh of hosts, Ye shall invite one another, —[to come] under the vine and under 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.’”
