Zechariah 3
1 And he showed me Joshua the priest great standing before [the] angel of Yahweh and the accuser [was] standing at right [hand] his to accuse him.
Le ŋutega bubu me la, Yehowa ɖe Yosua, nunɔlagã la fiam, wònɔ tsitre ɖe Yehowa ƒe dɔla la gbɔ, evɔ Satana hã nɔ afi ma nɔ tsitre ɖe mawudɔla la ƒe nuɖusime nɔ Yosua nu tsom.
2 And he said Yahweh to the accuser may he rebuke Yahweh you O accuser and may he rebuke Yahweh you who has chosen Jerusalem ¿ not [is] this a piece of firewood plucked out from a fire.
Yehowa gblɔ na Satana be, “Yehowa ka mo na wò, Satana! Yehowa, ame si tia Yerusalem la ka mo na wò! Ɖe ame sia mele abe dzoti bibi si woɖe le dzo me la ene oa?”
3 And Joshua he was clothed garments filthy and standing before the angel.
Azɔ Yosua le awu ƒoɖiwo me le tsitre ɖe mawudɔla la gbɔ.
4 And he answered and he said to those [who] were standing before him saying remove the garments filthy from on him and he said to him see I have taken away from on you iniquity your and I will clothe you robes.
Mawudɔla la gblɔ na ame siwo nɔ tsitre ɖe afi ma la be, “Miɖe awu ƒoɖi sia le eŋuti.” Etrɔ ɖe Yosua gbɔ gblɔ nɛ be, “Kpɔ ɖa, meɖe wò nu vɔ̃wo ɖa, eye azɔ la, mele awu yeye nyui siawo dom na wò.”
5 And I said let them put a turban clean on head his and they put the turban clean on head his and they clothed him garments and [the] angel of Yahweh [was] standing.
Tete megblɔ be, “Mitsɔ tablanu dzadzɛ bla ta nɛ.” Ale wotsɔ tablanu dzadzɛ bla ta nɛ, eye wotsɔ awu do nɛ esi Yehowa ƒe dɔla la nɔ tsitre.
6 And he admonished [the] angel of Yahweh Joshua saying.
Yehowa ƒe dɔla la de se sia na Yosua,
7 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts if in ways my you will walk and if charge my you will keep and also you you will govern house my and also you will guard courts my and I will give to you goings between those [who] are standing these.
“Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔe nye esi: ‘Ne àzɔ le nye mɔwo dzi, alé nye ɖoɖowo me ɖe asi la, ekema maɖo wò nye gbedoxɔ nu, ànye nye aƒedzikpɔla, eye mana nɔƒe wò ɖe ame siwo le tsitre ɖe afi sia la dome.
8 Hear please O Joshua - the priest great you and companions your who sit before you for [are] men of sign they for here I [am] about to bring servant my branch.
“‘Miɖo to, O nunɔlagã Yosua kple wò kpeɖeŋutɔ siwo nɔ anyi ɖe ŋgɔwò, ame siwo nye nu siwo ava va eme la ƒe dzesi. Meyi makplɔ nye dɔla Atilɔ la vɛ.
9 For - there! the stone which I have set before Joshua [are] on a stone one seven eyes here I [am] about to engrave engraving its [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts and I will remove [the] iniquity of the land that in a day one.
Kpɔ kpe si metsɔ ɖo Yosua ŋkume la ɖa! Ŋku adre li na kpe ɖeka sia. Maŋlɔ nu ɖe kpe la dzi, eye maɖe anyigba sia ƒe nu vɔ̃ ɖa le ŋkeke ɖeka me,’ Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe.
10 In the day that [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts you will invite each neighbor his to under a vine and to under a fig tree.
“‘Gbe ma gbe la, mia dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe akpe ehavi be wòava nɔ eƒe wainka kple gboti te.’ Yehowa Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe.”
