Zakari 3

1 Konsa, li te montre mwen Josué, wo prèt ki te kanpe devan zanj SENYÈ a, ak Satan ki te kanpe sou men dwat li pou akize li.

And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and the accuser standing at his right hand to accuse him.

2 SENYÈ a te di a Satan: “SENYÈ a repwoche ou, Satan! Anverite, SENYÈ ki te chwazi Jérusalem nan va repwoche ou! Èske sa se pa yon bout bwa cho ki retire soti nan dife?”

And the Lord said unto the accuser, The Lord rebuke thee, O Accuser; yea, the Lord rebuke thee that hath chosen Jerusalem: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?

3 Alò, Josué te abiye ak rad sal, e te kanpe devan zanj lan.

Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the angel.

4 Li te pale, e te di a sila ki te kanpe devan l yo: “Retire rad sal yo sou li.” A li menm Li te di, “Gade byen, Mwen te retire inikite sou ou, e Mwen va abiye ou ak vètman byen chè.”

And he commenced and said unto those that stood before him, saying; Take away the filthy garments from him. And he said unto him, Behold, I have caused thy iniquity to pass from off thee, and I clothe thee with festive garments.

5 Mwen te di: “Kite yo mete yon tiban pwòp sou tèt li.” Konsa, yo te mete yon tiban pwòp sou tèt li, e yo te abiye li. Zanj SENYÈ a te kanpe sou kote.

And I said, Let them place a clean mitre upon his head. So they placed the clean mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments; rind the angel of the Lord stood by.

6 Zanj SENYÈ a ak vwa solanèl te asire Josué. Li te di:

And the angel of the Lord forewarned Joshua, saying,

7 “Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: ‘Si ou va mache nan chemen Mwen yo, si ou va fè sèvis Mwen, alò, ou va osi gouvène lakay Mwen an. Ou va osi gadyen lakou Mwen an, e ou va gen lib aksè pami tout sila ki kanpe la yo.

Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then shalt thou also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by.

8 Alò koute, Josué, wo prèt la, ou menm ak zanmi ki chita devan ou yo—anverite, yo se moun ki sèvi kon yon sign. Paske gade byen, Mwen va fè parèt sèvitè Mwen an Scion an.

Do but hear, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee; for distinguished men are they; for, behold, I will bring my servant Zemach [[the Sprout]].

9 Paske gade byen, wòch ke Mwen te plase devan Josué a; sou yon sèl wòch, gen sèt zye. Gade byen, men mo a, Mwen va fè grave sou li,’ deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo. ‘Epi Mwen va retire inikite a peyi sa a nan yon sèl jou.

For behold [here is] the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave thereon its inscription, saith the Lord of hosts, And I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

10 Nan jou sa a,’ deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo: ‘nou chak va envite vwazen nou yo pou vin chita anba pye rezen an ak anba pye fig pa nou.’”

On that day, saith the Lord of hosts, shall ye call every man to his neighbor under the vine and under the fig-tree.
