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.
Afei, ɔkyerɛɛ me ɔsɔfopanin Yosua a ɔgyina Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ anim, na Satan gyina ne nifa so rebɛbɔ no soboɔ.
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.
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Satan sɛ, “Awurade nka wʼanim, Satan! Awurade a Yerusalem yɛ ne dea no nka wʼanim. Saa ɔbarima yi nyɛ gyentia a wɔatu afiri ogya mu anaa?”
3 And Joshua he was clothed garments filthy and standing before the angel.
Na Yosua hyɛ ntadeɛ fi ɛberɛ a ɔgyina ɔbɔfoɔ no anim.
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.
Ɔbɔfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn a wɔgyinagyina nʼanim no sɛ, “Monnyi ne ho ntadeɛ fi no.” Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ Yosua sɛ, “Hwɛ, mayi wo bɔne afiri wo so, na mede ntadeɛ a ɛyɛ fɛ bɛhyɛ wo.”
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.
Afei, mekaa sɛ, “Momfa abotire a ani teɛ mmɔ ne ti.” Enti, wɔde abotire a ani teɛ bɔɔ no, na wɔhyɛɛ no atadeɛ, ɛberɛ a Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ no gyina hɔ.
6 And he admonished [the] angel of Yahweh Joshua saying.
Na Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ de saa akwankyerɛ yi maa 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.
“Yei ne deɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ: ‘Sɛ wobɛyɛ ɔsetie ama me na woayɛ mʼapɛdeɛ a, ɛnneɛ wobɛdi me fie so na woahwɛ mʼabannwa so, na mɛma wo baabi atena wɔ nnipa a wɔgyinagyina ha yi mu.
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.
“‘Tie, Ao ɔsɔfopanin Yosua, wo ne wo nkurɔfoɔ a wɔtete wʼanim yi, moyɛ nnipa a wɔgyina hɔ ma nneɛma a ɛrebɛsisi: Mede me ɔsomfoɔ, Dubaa, no bɛba.
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.
Hwɛ, aboɔdenboɔ a mede asi Yosua anim! Ani nson na ɛtuatua saa ɛboɔ baako no ho, na mekrukyire atwerɛ bi wɔ so,’ sɛdeɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie, ‘na mede ɛda koro pɛ bɛpepa asase yi so bɔne.
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.
“‘Saa ɛda no mo mu biara bɛto nsa afrɛ ne yɔnko ne no akɔtena ne ngo dua ne borɔdɔma dua ase,’ sɛdeɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie.”
