Zechariah 3
1 He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before Yahweh’s angel, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary.
Innis utuu Iyyaasuun lubichi ol aanaan fuula ergamaa Waaqayyoo dura dhaabatee, Seexanni immoo isa himachuuf karaa harka mirga isaa dhaabatuu na argisiise.
2 Yahweh said to Satan, “Yahweh rebuke you, Satan! Yes, Yahweh who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn’t this a burning stick 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 was standing before the angel.
Iyyaasuun yeroo ergamaa Waaqayyoo sana dura dhaabatetti uffata xuraaʼaa uffatee ture.
4 He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, “Take the filthy garments off him.” To him he said, “Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich clothing.”
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 I said, “Let them set a clean turban on his head.” So they set a clean turban on his head, and clothed him; and Yahweh’s angel was standing 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 Yahweh’s angel solemnly assured Joshua, saying,
Ergamaan Waaqayyoo sunis ajaja kana Iyyaasuuf kenne:
7 “Yahweh of Armies says: ‘If you will walk in my ways, and if you will follow my instructions, then you also shall judge my house, and shall also keep my courts, and I will give you a place of access among these who 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, Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows who sit before you, for they are men who are a sign; for, behold, I will bring out 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 set before Joshua: on one stone are seven eyes; behold, I will engrave its inscription,’ says Yahweh of Armies, ‘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,’ says Yahweh of Armies, ‘you will invite 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.”
