Zechariah 3
1 And he sheweth me Joshua the high priest standing before the messenger of Jehovah, and the Adversary standing at his right hand, to be an adversary to 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 Jehovah saith unto the Adversary: 'Jehovah doth push against thee, O Adversary, Yea, push against thee doth Jehovah, Who is fixing on Jerusalem, Is not this a brand delivered from 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 And Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and is standing before the messenger.
Iyyaasuun yeroo ergamaa Waaqayyoo sana dura dhaabatetti uffata xuraaʼaa uffatee ture.
4 And he answereth and speaketh unto those standing before him, saying: 'Turn aside the filthy garments from off him.' And he saith unto him, 'See, I have caused thine iniquity to pass away from off thee, so as to clothe thee with costly apparel.'
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 He also said, 'Let them set a pure diadem on his head. And they set the pure diadem on his head, and clothe him with garments. And the messenger of Jehovah is standing,
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 messenger of Jehovah doth protest to Joshua, saying:
Ergamaan Waaqayyoo sunis ajaja kana Iyyaasuuf kenne:
7 'Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: If in My ways thou dost walk, And if My charge thou dost keep, Then also thou dost judge My house, And also thou dost keep My courts, And I have given to thee conductors among these standing 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, I pray thee, Joshua, the high priest, Thou and thy companions sitting before thee, (For men of type [are] they, ) For lo, I am bringing in My servant — a Shoot.
“‘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 lo, the stone that I put before Joshua, On one stone [are] seven eyes, Lo, I am graving its graving, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, And I have removed 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 — an affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, Ye do call, each unto his neighbour, Unto the place of the vine, And unto the place of 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.”
