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.
Sa’an nan ya nuna mini Yoshuwa babban firist a tsaye a gaban mala’ikan Ubangiji, Shaiɗan kuma yana tsaye a damansa don yă tuhume shi.
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?
Ubangiji ya ce wa Shaiɗan, “Ubangiji ya tsawata maka, Shaiɗan! Ubangiji wanda ya zaɓi Urushalima, ya tsawata maka! Ashe, mutumin nan ba shi ne sandar da take ƙonewa da aka ciro daga cikin wuta ba?”
3 Now, Joshua, was clothed with filthy garments, —though standing before the messenger.
Yanzu an sa wa Yoshuwa tufafi masu dauda sa’ad da yake tsaye a gaban mala’ikan.
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.
Mala’ikan ya ce wa waɗanda suke tsaye a gabansa, “Ku cire masa tufafinsa masu dauda.” Sai ya ce wa Yoshuwa, “Duba, na ɗauke zunubanka, zan sa maka tufafi masu tsada.”
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.
Sai na ce, “Sa masa rawani mai tsabta a kansa.” Aka sa masa rawani mai tsabta a kansa aka kuma sa masa tufafi yayinda mala’ikan Ubangiji yake tsaye a wurin.
6 So then the messenger of Yahweh did solemnly affirm unto Joshua, saying:
Mala’ikan Ubangiji ya yi wa Yoshuwa wannan gargaɗi.
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.
“Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, ‘In za ka yi tafiya a hanyoyina ka kuma kiyaye abubuwan da nake so, za ka zama shugaban haikalina, ka kuma lura da ɗakunan shari’ata, zan kuma ba ka wuri cikin waɗannan da suke tsaye a nan.
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;
“‘Ka saurara, ya babban firist Yoshuwa, kai da abokanka da suke zaune a gabanka, ku da kuke alamun abubuwan da za su zo. Zan kawo bawana, wanda yake Reshe.
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.
Dubi dutsen da na ajiye a gaban Yoshuwa! Akwai idanu bakwai a kan wannan dutse guda, zan kuma yi rubutu a kansa,’ in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, ‘zan kuma kawar da zunubin ƙasan nan a rana ɗaya.
10 In that day, declareth Yahweh of hosts, Ye shall invite one another, —[to come] under the vine and under the fig-tree.
“‘A wannan rana kowannenku zai gayyaci maƙwabcinsa yă zauna a ƙarƙashin itacen inabi da kuma na ɓaure,’ in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.”
