Sakaria 3
1 Afei ɔkyerɛɛ me ɔsɔfopanyin Yosua a ogyina Awurade bɔfo anim, na Satan gyina ne nifa so rebɛbɔ no sobo.
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 Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Satan se, “Awurade nka wʼanim, Satan! Awurade a wafa Yerusalem no, nka wʼanim. Saa ɔbarima yi nyɛ gyentia a wɔatu afi ogya mu ana?”
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 Yosua hyɛ ntadefi, bere a ogyina ɔbɔfo no anim.
And Joshua he was clothed garments filthy and standing before the angel.
4 Ɔbɔfo no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn a wogyinagyina nʼanim no se, “Munnyi ne ho ntadefi no.” Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ Yosua se, “Hwɛ, mayi wo bɔne afi wo so, na mede ntade a ɛyɛ fɛ bɛhyɛ wo.”
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 Afei mekae se, “Momfa abotiri a ani tew mmɔ ne ti.” Enti wɔde abotiri a ani tew bɔɔ no, na wɔhyɛɛ no atade, bere a Awurade bɔfo no gyina hɔ.
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 Na Awurade bɔfo de saa akwankyerɛ yi maa Yosua:
And he admonished [the] angel of Yahweh Joshua saying.
7 “Sɛɛ na Asafo Awurade se: ‘Sɛ wobɛyɛ osetie ama me na woayɛ mʼapɛde a, ɛno de, wubedi me fi so na woahwɛ mʼabangua so, na mɛma wo baabi atena wɔ nnipa a wogyinagyina ha yi mu.
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 “‘Tie, Ɔsɔfopanyin Yosua, wo ne wo nkurɔfo a wɔtete wʼanim yi, moyɛ nnipa a wogyina hɔ ma nneɛma a ɛrebesisi: Mede me somfo, Dubaa no bɛba.
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 Hwɛ, ɔbo a mede asi Yosua anim! Ani ason na etuatua saa ɔbo baako no ho, na mikurukyerɛw biribi wɔ so,’ sɛnea Asafo Awurade se ni, ‘na mede da koro pɛ bɛpepa asase yi so bɔne.
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 “‘Saa da no mo mu biara bɛto nsa afrɛ ne yɔnko ne no akɔtena ne ngodua ne borɔdɔma dua ase,’ sɛnea Asafo Awurade se ni.”
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.
