Zakaria 3

1 Ary dia nasehony ahy fa, indro, Josoa mpisoronabe nitsangana teo anatrehan’ Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah, ary Satana nitsangana teo an-kavanany hiampanga azy.

He showed me Joshua the cohen hagadol standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary.

2 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Satana: Hananatra anao anie Jehovah, ry Satana; eny, Jehovah Izay nifidy an’ i Jerosalema anie hananatra anao; tsy forohana nosarihana tamin’ ny afo va ity?

The LORD said to Satan, "The LORD rebuke you, Satan. Yes, the LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you. Isn't this a burning stick plucked out of the fire?"

3 Ary Josoa nitafy fitafiana maloto ary nitsangana teo anoloan’ Ilay Anjely.

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

4 Dia namaly Jehovah ka nilaza tamin’ izay nitsangana teo anoloany hoe: Esory aminy ny fitafiana maloto. Ary hoy koa Izy taminy: Indro, efa nesoriko ny helokao, ary hampiakanjoiko akanjo fihaingoana ianao.

He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, "Take the filthy garments off of him." To him he said, "Look, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich clothing."

5 Dia hoy izaho: Aoka hasiany hamama madio eo an-dohany. Ka dia nasiany hamama madio teo an-dohany, sady nampitafiny izy; ary Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah dia nitsangana teo.

I said, "Let them set a clean turban on his head." So they set a clean turban on his head, and clothed him; and the angel of the LORD was standing by.

6 Ary Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah nilaza marimarina tamin’ i Josoa hoe:

The angel of the LORD protested to Joshua, saying,

7 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Raha mizotra amin’ ny lalako ianao sy mitandrina ny didiko, dia ianao no hitsara ny amin’ ny tranoko sy hitandrina ny kianjako, sady homeko lalana ho amin’ ireo mitsangana ireo ianao.

"Thus says the LORD of hosts: 'If you will walk in my ways, and if you will follow my instructions, then you also shall judge my house, and shall also keep my courts, and I will give you a place of access among these who stand by.

8 Koa mihainoa, ry Josoa mpisoronabe, dia ianao sy ny namanao izay mipetraka eo anoloanao; fa olona atao fahagagana ireo; fa, indro, ho entiko Rantsana Mpanompoko.

Hear now, Joshua the cohen hagadol, you and your fellows who sit before you; for they are men who are a sign: for, look, I will bring forth my servant, the Branch.

9 Fa, indro, ny vato izay napetrako teo anoloan’ i Josoa, ny vato iray dia banjinin’ ny maso fito; indro, hosoratako ny sorany, hoy Jehovah Tompon’ ny maro, ary hesoriko indray andro monja ny helok’ ity tany ity.

For, look, the stone that I have set before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes: look, I will engrave its engraving,' says the LORD of hosts, 'and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

10 Amin’ izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, dia samy hiantso ny namanareo avy ho eo ambanin’ ny voaloboka sy ho eo ambanin’ ny aviavy ianareo.

In that day,' says the LORD of hosts, 'you will invite every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.'"
