Zakari 3
1 Yawe alakisaki ngai Jozue, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, oyo azalaki ya kotelema liboso ya Anjelu ya Yawe. Alakisaki ngai lisusu Satana oyo azalaki ya kotelema na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali ya Jozue mpo na kofunda ye.
And the Lord showed me Jesus the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and the Devil stood on his right hand to resist him.
2 Yawe alobaki na Satana: — Satana, tika ete Yawe apamela yo! Tika ete Yawe oyo apona Yelusalemi apamela yo! Boni, moto oyo azali te lokola koni ya moto oyo balongoli na moto?
And the Lords said to the Devil, The Lord rebuke you, O Devil, even the Lord that has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you: behold! is not this as a brand plucked from the fire?
3 Nzokande, Jozue alataki bilamba ya salite tango atelemaki liboso ya Anjelu.
Now Jesus was clothed in filthy raiment, and stood before the angel.
4 Bongo Anjelu alobaki na ba-oyo bazalaki kotelema liboso na ye: — Bolongola ye bilamba wana ya salite! Mpe alobaki na Jozue: — Tala, nalongoli masumu na yo mpe nakolatisa yo bilamba ya talo.
And [the Lord] answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy raiment from him: and he said to him, Behold, I have taken away your iniquities: and clothe you him with a long robe,
5 Nalobaki: — Bolatisa ye kitendi ya peto oyo bakangaka na moto. Boye, bakangaki ye kitendi ya peto na moto mpe balatisaki ye bilamba mosusu wana Anjelu ya Yawe atelemaki pene na ye.
and place a pure mitre upon his head. So they placed a pure mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments: and the angel of the Lord stood [by].
6 Anjelu ya Yawe ayebisaki na Jozue maloba oyo:
And the angel of the Lord testified to Jesus, saying,
7 — Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Soki otamboli na nzela na Ngai mpe obateli mitindo na Ngai, okokamba ndako na Ngai mpe okobatela lopango na Ngai, mpe nakotia yo na molongo ya ba-oyo batelemaka awa.
Thus says the Lord Almighty; If you will walk in my ways, and take heed to my charges, then shall you judge my house: and if you will diligently keep my court, then will I give you men to walk in the midst of these that stand [here].
8 Jozue, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, yo elongo na bandeko na yo, Banganga-Nzambe oyo basalaka elongo na yo, bozali bilembo oyo etalisaka makambo oyo ekoya. Nakobimisa Mosali na Ngai; bakobenga Ye: Moto ya nzete oyo ebimaka na mobimbi.
Hear now, Jesus the high priest, you, and your neighbors that are sitting before [you]: for they are diviners, for, behold, I bring forth my servant The Branch.
9 Tala, natie libanga liboso ya Jozue. Libanga yango ezali na miso sambo, nakokoma makomi na likolo na yango, » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, « mpe nakolongola masumu ya mokili oyo na mokolo moko.
For [as for] the stone which I have set before the face of Jesus, on the one stone are seven eyes: behold, I am digging a trench, says the Lord Almighty, and I will search out all the iniquity of that land in one day.
10 Na mokolo wana, moko na moko kati na bino akobengisa moninga na ye mpo ete bavanda na se ya nzete ya vino mpe ya figi, » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
In that day, says the Lord Almighty, you shall call together every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.
