Sakaria 3
1 Afei, ɔkyerɛɛ me ɔsɔfopanin Yosua a ɔgyina Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ anim, na Satan gyina ne nifa so rebɛbɔ no soboɔ.
Yasingitshengisa uJoshuwa umpristi omkhulu emi phambi kwengilosi yeNkosi; loSathane emi esandleni sakhe sokunene ukumelana laye.
2 Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Satan sɛ, “Awurade nka wʼanim, Satan! Awurade a Yerusalem yɛ ne dea no nka wʼanim. Saa ɔbarima yi nyɛ gyentia a wɔatu afiri ogya mu anaa?”
INkosi yasisithi kuSathane: INkosi kayikukhuze, wena Sathane, yebo kayikukhuze iNkosi, eyikhethileyo iJerusalema. Lo kayisiso isikhuni yini esophulwe emlilweni?
3 Na Yosua hyɛ ntadeɛ fi ɛberɛ a ɔgyina ɔbɔfoɔ no anim.
UJoshuwa-ke wayembethe izigqoko ezingcolileyo; wayemi phambi kwengilosi.
4 Ɔbɔfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn a wɔgyinagyina nʼanim no sɛ, “Monnyi ne ho ntadeɛ fi no.” Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ Yosua sɛ, “Hwɛ, mayi wo bɔne afiri wo so, na mede ntadeɛ a ɛyɛ fɛ bɛhyɛ wo.”
Yasiphendula yakhuluma kulabo ababemi phambi kwayo isithi: Susani izigqoko ezingcolileyo kuye. Yasisithi kuye: Bona, ngenzile isiphambeko sakho sedlule kuwe, ngikugqokise izembatho zomkhosi.
5 Afei, mekaa sɛ, “Momfa abotire a ani teɛ mmɔ ne ti.” Enti, wɔde abotire a ani teɛ bɔɔ no, na wɔhyɛɛ no atadeɛ, ɛberɛ a Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ no gyina hɔ.
Ngasengisithi: Kababeke iqhiye ehlambulukileyo ekhanda lakhe. Basebebeka iqhiye ehlambulukileyo ekhanda lakhe, bamgqokisa izembatho; njalo ingilosi yeNkosi yayimi khona.
6 Na Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ de saa akwankyerɛ yi maa Yosua:
Ingilosi yeNkosi yasifakaza kuJoshuwa isithi:
7 “Yei ne deɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ: ‘Sɛ wobɛyɛ ɔsetie ama me na woayɛ mʼapɛdeɛ a, ɛnneɛ wobɛdi me fie so na woahwɛ mʼabannwa so, na mɛma wo baabi atena wɔ nnipa a wɔgyinagyina ha yi mu.
Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Uba uzahamba ezindleleni zami, njalo uba uzagcina umlindo wami, lapho lawe uzakwahlulela indlu yami, ugcine lamaguma ami; njalo ngizakunika ilungelo lokuhamba phakathi kwalaba abemi khona.
8 “‘Tie, Ao ɔsɔfopanin Yosua, wo ne wo nkurɔfoɔ a wɔtete wʼanim yi, moyɛ nnipa a wɔgyina hɔ ma nneɛma a ɛrebɛsisi: Mede me ɔsomfoɔ, Dubaa, no bɛba.
Zwana khathesi, Joshuwa mpristi omkhulu, wena labangane bakho abahlezi phambi kwakho, ngoba bangabantu besibonakaliso. Ngoba, khangela, ngizaveza inceku yami, iHlumela.
9 Hwɛ, aboɔdenboɔ a mede asi Yosua anim! Ani nson na ɛtuatua saa ɛboɔ baako no ho, na mekrukyire atwerɛ bi wɔ so,’ sɛdeɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie, ‘na mede ɛda koro pɛ bɛpepa asase yi so bɔne.
Ngoba khangela ilitshe engilibeke phambi kukaJoshuwa; phezu kwelitshe elilodwa kuzakuba lamehlo ayisikhombisa. Khangela, ngizabhala ngokugubha okugujiweyo kwalo, itsho iNkosi yamabandla, njalo ngizasusa isiphambeko salelolizwe ngosuku olulodwa.
10 “‘Saa ɛda no mo mu biara bɛto nsa afrɛ ne yɔnko ne no akɔtena ne ngo dua ne borɔdɔma dua ase,’ sɛdeɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie.”
Ngalolosuku, itsho iNkosi yamabandla, lizabiza, ngulowo lalowo umngane wakhe ngaphansi kwesivini langaphansi komkhiwa.
