Zakariya 3
1 Sa’an nan ya nuna mini Yoshuwa babban firist a tsaye a gaban mala’ikan Ubangiji, Shaiɗan kuma yana tsaye a damansa don yă tuhume shi.
Then [Yahweh] showed me Joshua, the Supreme Priest, [who was] standing in front of the angel that Yahweh had sent. And Satan was standing at Joshua’s right side, [ready] to accuse him.
2 Ubangiji ya ce wa Shaiɗan, “Ubangiji ya tsawata maka, Shaiɗan! Ubangiji wanda ya zaɓi Urushalima, ya tsawata maka! Ashe, mutumin nan ba shi ne sandar da take ƙonewa da aka ciro daga cikin wuta ba?”
But Yahweh said to Satan, “Satan, I am rebuking you! I [am the one] who has chosen Jerusalem [to be my special city, and I] am rebuking you! This [man, Joshua], [has been brought back from Babylonia]; he is surely [like] [MET, RHQ] a burning stick that has been snatched from a fire.”
3 Yanzu an sa wa Yoshuwa tufafi masu dauda sa’ad da yake tsaye a gaban mala’ikan.
Joshua was wearing filthy clothes while he was standing in front of the angel.
4 Mala’ikan ya ce wa waɗanda suke tsaye a gabansa, “Ku cire masa tufafinsa masu dauda.” Sai ya ce wa Yoshuwa, “Duba, na ɗauke zunubanka, zan sa maka tufafi masu tsada.”
The angel said to those [other angels] who were standing in front of him, “Take off his filthy clothes!” [After they did that, ] the angel said to Joshua, “Look! I have taken away [the guilt of] your sins, and I will put beautiful clothes on you.”
5 Sai na ce, “Sa masa rawani mai tsabta a kansa.” Aka sa masa rawani mai tsabta a kansa aka kuma sa masa tufafi yayinda mala’ikan Ubangiji yake tsaye a wurin.
Then I said to them, “Put a clean turban on his head!” So they put a clean turban on his head and put [new] on him, while the angel sent by Yahweh was standing there.
6 Mala’ikan Ubangiji ya yi wa Yoshuwa wannan gargaɗi.
Then the angel said [this] to Joshua:
7 “Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, ‘In za ka yi tafiya a hanyoyina ka kuma kiyaye abubuwan da nake so, za ka zama shugaban haikalina, ka kuma lura da ɗakunan shari’ata, zan kuma ba ka wuri cikin waɗannan da suke tsaye a nan.
“The Commander of the armies of angels says that if you do what I want you to do [IDM], and obey my instructions, you will (be in charge of/have authority over) [what is done in] my temple and its courtyard. And I will allow you to speak at any time to the angels who are standing near to me.
8 “‘Ka saurara, ya babban firist Yoshuwa, kai da abokanka da suke zaune a gabanka, ku da kuke alamun abubuwan da za su zo. Zan kawo bawana, wanda yake Reshe.
Joshua, [you are] the Supreme Priest, and your (associates/fellow priests) are sitting in front of you. They symbolize/represent things that will happen in the future. [Some day] I am going to bring someone who will work for me, someone who will be called the Branch.
9 Dubi dutsen da na ajiye a gaban Yoshuwa! Akwai idanu bakwai a kan wannan dutse guda, zan kuma yi rubutu a kansa,’ in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, ‘zan kuma kawar da zunubin ƙasan nan a rana ɗaya.
Look at the stone that I have put in front of Joshua. There are seven sides on the stone. I will engrave a message on that stone, and in one day I will remove the guilt of [all the people of] this country.
10 “‘A wannan rana kowannenku zai gayyaci maƙwabcinsa yă zauna a ƙarƙashin itacen inabi da kuma na ɓaure,’ in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.”
At that time, each of you will invite his friends [to come and sit] under his grapevine and under his fig tree. [That is what] the Commander of the armies of angels declares.”
