Zechariah 3
1 And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.
Awo n’anjolesa Yoswa, kabona asinga obukulu, ng’ayimiridde mu maaso ga malayika wa Mukama, ne Setaani ng’ayimiridde ku mukono gwe ogwa ddyo okumulumiriza.
2 And the LORD said to Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: [is] not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
Mukama n’agamba Setaani nti, “Mukama akunenye ggwe Setaani, weewaawo Mukama eyeerondedde Yerusaalemi akunenye! Omusajja ono si kisiki ekyaka ekigibbwa mu muliro?”
3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.
Awo Yoswa yali ayimiridde mu maaso ga malayika ng’ayambadde ebyambalo ebijjudde ekko.
4 And he answered and spoke to those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And to him he said, Behold, I have caused thy iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.
Malayika n’agamba abaali bayimiridde mu maaso ge nti, “Mumwambulemu ebyambalo bye ebijjudde ekko.” N’agamba Yoswa nti, “Laba nkuggyeeko ekibi kyo, era nnaakwambaza ebyambalo eby’omuwendo.”
5 And I said, Let them set a fair miter upon his head. So they set a fair miter upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD stood by.
Ne njogera nti, “Mumusibe ekiremba ekitukula ku mutwe gwe.” Awo ne bamusiba ekiremba ekitukula ku mutwe, ne bamwambaza n’engoye, nga malayika wa Mukama ayimiridde awo.
6 And the angel of the LORD protested to Joshua, saying,
Malayika wa Mukama n’akuutira nnyo Yoswa ng’ayogera nti,
7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by.
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye nti, ‘Bw’onootambuliranga mu makubo gange, era noonywezanga bye nkukuutira, kale, onoofuganga ennyumba yange era onoolamulanga mu mbuga zange, era ndikuwa ekifo obeere mu abo abayimiridde wano.
8 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they [are] men wondered at: for behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH.
“‘Kale wulira, Yoswa kabona asinga obukulu, ggwe ne banno abatuula mu maaso go, abantu kw’otegeerera eby’omu maaso, laba ndireeta omuweereza wange, ye Ttabi.
9 For behold, the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone [shall be] seven eyes; behold, I will engrave the graving of it saith the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
Kubanga laba, ku jjinja lye ntadde mu maaso ga Yoswa, ku jjinja erimu eririna amaaso omusanvu, laba nditeekako ebiwandiiko,’ bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye. ‘Mu lunaku lumu ndiggyawo ekibi ky’ensi eno.
10 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig-tree.
“‘Ku lunaku luli, buli omu ku mmwe, aliyita muliraanwa we okutuulako wansi w’omuzabbibu gwe ne wansi w’omutiini gwe,’ bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye.”
