Zekaria 3

1 Ningĩ akĩnyonia Joshua, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene, arũgamĩte mbere ya mũraika wa Jehova, nake Shaitani arũgamĩte mwena wake wa ũrĩo nĩguo amũcuuke.

And he showed me Joshua the priest great standing before [the] angel of Yahweh and the accuser [was] standing at right [hand] his to accuse him.

2 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Shaitani atĩrĩ, “Jehova arogũkũũma, wee Shaitani! Jehova ũrĩa ũthuurĩte Jerusalemu arogũkũũma wee! Githĩ mũndũ ũyũ ti gĩcinga gĩtharĩtwo kuuma mwaki-inĩ?”

And he said Yahweh to the accuser may he rebuke Yahweh you O accuser and may he rebuke Yahweh you who has chosen Jerusalem ¿ not [is] this a piece of firewood plucked out from a fire.

3 Na rĩrĩ, Joshua eehumbĩte nguo irĩ gĩko hĩndĩ ĩyo aarũgamĩte mbere ya mũraika.

And Joshua he was clothed garments filthy and standing before the angel.

4 Mũraika ũcio akĩĩra arĩa maarũngiĩ mbere yake atĩrĩ, “Mũrutei nguo icio ciake irĩ na gĩko.” Agĩcooka akĩĩra Joshua atĩrĩ, “Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩnjeheretie mehia maku, na nĩngũkũhumba nguo cia goro.”

And he answered and he said to those [who] were standing before him saying remove the garments filthy from on him and he said to him see I have taken away from on you iniquity your and I will clothe you robes.

5 Ngĩcooka ngiuga atĩrĩ, “Muohei kĩremba gĩtheru mũtwe.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmuoha kĩremba gĩtheru mũtwe, na makĩmũhumba nguo, mũraika wa Jehova arũgamĩte o hau.

And I said let them put a turban clean on head his and they put the turban clean on head his and they clothed him garments and [the] angel of Yahweh [was] standing.

6 Mũraika wa Jehova agĩatha Joshua, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ,

And he admonished [the] angel of Yahweh Joshua saying.

7 “Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga ũũ, ‘Ũngĩrũmĩrĩra mĩthiĩre yakwa na ũmenyagĩrĩre maũndũ marĩa nyendaga mekwo, nĩũgaathaga nyũmba yakwa, o na ũtuĩke mũrũgamĩrĩri wa nja ciayo, na ngwĩtĩkĩrie ũtuĩke ũmwe wa andũ aya marũngiĩ haha.

Thus he says Yahweh of hosts if in ways my you will walk and if charge my you will keep and also you you will govern house my and also you will guard courts my and I will give to you goings between those [who] are standing these.

8 “‘Ta thikĩrĩria, wee Joshua, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene, hamwe na athiritũ aku aya maikarĩte thĩ mbere yaku, o acio kĩmenyithia kĩa maũndũ marĩa magooka: Nĩngarehe ndungata yakwa, o we Rũhonge.’

Hear please O Joshua - the priest great you and companions your who sit before you for [are] men of sign they for here I [am] about to bring servant my branch.

9 Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga ũũ, ‘Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩnjigĩte ihiga mbere ya Joshua! Ihiga rĩu rĩrĩ na maitho mũgwanja, na nĩngakurura maandĩko igũrũ warĩo, na njeherie mehia ma bũrũri ũyũ na mũthenya ũmwe.

For - there! the stone which I have set before Joshua [are] on a stone one seven eyes here I [am] about to engrave engraving its [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts and I will remove [the] iniquity of the land that in a day one.

10 “‘Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, o mũndũ wanyu nĩageeta mũndũ wa itũũra rĩake maikare rungu rwa mũtĩ wake wa mũthabibũ na wa mũkũyũ,’” ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.

In the day that [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts you will invite each neighbor his to under a vine and to under a fig tree.
