Zekaria 3

1 Le ŋutega bubu me la, Yehowa ɖe Yosua, nunɔlagã la fiam, wònɔ tsitre ɖe Yehowa ƒe dɔla la gbɔ, evɔ Satana hã nɔ afi ma nɔ tsitre ɖe mawudɔla la ƒe nuɖusime nɔ Yosua nu tsom.

And the Lord schewide to me the greet prest Jhesu, stondynge bifore the aungel of the Lord; and Sathan stood on his riythalf, that he schulde be aduersarie to hym.

2 Yehowa gblɔ na Satana be, “Yehowa ka mo na wò, Satana! Yehowa, ame si tia Yerusalem la ka mo na wò! Ɖe ame sia mele abe dzoti bibi si woɖe le dzo me la ene oa?”

And the Lord seide to Sathan, The Lord blame in thee, Sathan, and the Lord that chees Jerusalem, blame in thee. Whether this is not a deed broond rauyschid fro the fier?

3 Azɔ Yosua le awu ƒoɖiwo me le tsitre ɖe mawudɔla la gbɔ.

And Jhesus was clothid with foule clothis, and stood bifor the face of the aungel.

4 Mawudɔla la gblɔ na ame siwo nɔ tsitre ɖe afi ma la be, “Miɖe awu ƒoɖi sia le eŋuti.” Etrɔ ɖe Yosua gbɔ gblɔ nɛ be, “Kpɔ ɖa, meɖe wò nu vɔ̃wo ɖa, eye azɔ la, mele awu yeye nyui siawo dom na wò.”

Which answeride, and seide to hem that stoden bifor hym, and he seide, Do ye awei foule clothis fro him. And he seide to hym, Lo! Y haue don awei fro thee thi wickidnesse, and Y haue clothid thee with chaungynge clothis.

5 Tete megblɔ be, “Mitsɔ tablanu dzadzɛ bla ta nɛ.” Ale wotsɔ tablanu dzadzɛ bla ta nɛ, eye wotsɔ awu do nɛ esi Yehowa ƒe dɔla la nɔ tsitre.

And he seide, Putte ye a clene mytre on his heed. And thei puttiden a cleene mytre on his heed, and clothide him with clothis. And the aungel of the Lord stood,

6 Yehowa ƒe dɔla la de se sia na Yosua,

and the aungel of the Lord witnesside to Jhesu,

7 “Ale Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la gblɔe nye esi: ‘Ne àzɔ le nye mɔwo dzi, alé nye ɖoɖowo me ɖe asi la, ekema maɖo wò nye gbedoxɔ nu, ànye nye aƒedzikpɔla, eye mana nɔƒe wò ɖe ame siwo le tsitre ɖe afi sia la dome.

and seide, The Lord of oostis seith these thingis, If thou schalt go in my weies, and schalt kepe my kepynge, also and thou schalt deme myn hous, and schalt kepe my porchis; and Y schal yyue to thee goeris, of these that now here stonden niy.

8 “‘Miɖo to, O nunɔlagã Yosua kple wò kpeɖeŋutɔ siwo nɔ anyi ɖe ŋgɔwò, ame siwo nye nu siwo ava va eme la ƒe dzesi. Meyi makplɔ nye dɔla Atilɔ la vɛ.

Here thou, Jhesu, greet preest, thou and thi frendis that dwellen bifore thee, for thei ben men signefiynge thing to comyng. Lo! sotheli Y schal brynge my seruaunt spryngynge up, ether Crist borun.

9 Kpɔ kpe si metsɔ ɖo Yosua ŋkume la ɖa! Ŋku adre li na kpe ɖeka sia. Maŋlɔ nu ɖe kpe la dzi, eye maɖe anyigba sia ƒe nu vɔ̃ ɖa le ŋkeke ɖeka me,’ Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe.

For lo! the stoon which Y yaf bifor Jhesu, on o stoon ben seuene iyen; and lo! Y schal graue the grauyng therof, seith the Lord of oostis, and Y schal do a wei the wickidnesse of that lond in o dai.

10 “‘Gbe ma gbe la, mia dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe akpe ehavi be wòava nɔ eƒe wainka kple gboti te.’ Yehowa Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe.”

In that dai, seith the Lord of oostis, a man schal clepe his frend vndur a vyn tre, and vndur a fige tre.
