< 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.
Innis utuu Iyyaasuun lubichi ol aanaan fuula ergamaa Waaqayyoo dura dhaabatee, Seexanni immoo isa himachuuf karaa harka mirga isaa dhaabatuu na argisiise.
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?
Waaqayyos Seexanaan akkana jedhe; “Seexana nana, Waaqayyo si haa ifatu! Waaqayyo inni Yerusaalemin filate si haa ifatu! Namichi kun mukukkula ibidda bobaʼu keessaa butame mitii?”
3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.
Iyyaasuun yeroo ergamaa Waaqayyoo sana dura dhaabatetti uffata xuraaʼaa uffatee ture.
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.
Ergamaan Waaqayyoo sunis warra isa dura dhaabachaa turan sanaan, “Uffata isaa xuraaʼaa isa irraa baasaa” jedhe. Innis ergasii Iyyaasuudhaan, “Kunoo ani cubbuu kee sirraa fuudhee uffata miidhagaa sittin uffisa” jedhe.
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.
Anis, “Mataa isaa irra marata qulqulluu kaaʼaafii” nan jedhe. Kanaafuu isaan utuma ergamaan Waaqayyoo sun achi dhaabatee jiruu, marata qulqulluu mataa isaa irra kaaʼanii uffata itti uffisan.
6 And the angel of the LORD protested to Joshua, saying,
Ergamaan Waaqayyoo sunis ajaja kana Iyyaasuuf kenne:
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.
“Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha; ‘Ati yoo karaa koo irra deemtee ajaja koo eegde, mana koo ni bulchita; itti gaafatamaa oobdii koo ni taata; anis warra as dhadhaabatan kana gidduutti iddoo siif nan kenna.
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.
“‘Yaa Iyyaasuu lubicha ol aanaa, atii fi gareen kee warri fuula kee dura tataaʼan, namoonni waan dhufuuf jiruuf mallattoo taʼan waan kana dhaggeeffadhaa. Ani tajaajilaa koo Damee sana nan fida.
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.
Dhagaa ani fuula Iyyaasuu dura kaaʼe ilaalaa! Dhagaa tokkicha sana irra ija torbatu jira; anis barreeffama isa irratti nan qiriixa’ jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu; ‘cubbuu biyya kanaas guyyuma tokkotti nan balleessa.
10 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig-tree.
“‘Bara sana tokkoon tokkoon namaa muka wayiniitii fi muka harbuu isaa jala taaʼuuf ollaa isaa ni waammata’ jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.”
