Zechariah 3
1 Ó sì fi Joṣua olórí àlùfáà hàn mí, ó dúró níwájú angẹli Olúwa, Satani sí dúró lọ́wọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ̀ láti kọjú ìjà sí i.
Then the angel showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, with Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him.
2 Olúwa si wí fún Satani pé, “Olúwa bá ọ wí ìwọ Satani; àní Olúwa tí ó ti yan Jerusalẹmu, bá ọ wí, igi iná kọ́ ni èyí tí a mú kúrò nínú iná?”
And the LORD said to Satan: “The LORD rebukes you, Satan! Indeed, the LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebukes you! Is not this man a firebrand snatched from the fire?”
3 A sì wọ Joṣua ni aṣọ èérí, ó sì dúró níwájú angẹli náà.
Now Joshua was dressed in filthy garments as he stood before the angel.
4 Ó sì dáhùn ó wí fún àwọn tí ó dúró níwájú rẹ̀ pé, “Bọ́ aṣọ èérí nì kúrò ní ara rẹ̀.” Ó sì wí fún Joṣua pé, “Wò ó, mo mú kí àìṣedéédéé rẹ̀ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, èmi yóò sì wọ̀ ọ́ ní aṣọ ẹ̀yẹ.”
So the angel said to those standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes!” Then he said to Joshua, “See, I have removed your iniquity, and I will clothe you with splendid robes.”
5 Mó sì wí pé, “Jẹ kí wọn fi gèlè mímọ́ wé e lórí.” Wọn sì fi gèlè mímọ́ wé e lórí, wọn sì fi aṣọ wọ̀ ọ́. Angẹli Olúwa sì dúró tì í.
Then I said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head.” So a clean turban was placed on his head, and they clothed him, as the angel of the LORD stood by.
6 Angẹli Olúwa sì tẹnumọ́ ọn fún Joṣua pé:
Then the angel of the LORD gave this charge to Joshua:
7 “Báyìí ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí: ‘Bí ìwọ ọ́ bá rìn ní ọ̀nà mi, bí ìwọ yóò bá sì pa àṣẹ mi mọ́, ìwọ yóò sì ṣe ìdájọ́ ilé mi pẹ̀lú, ìwọ yóò sì ṣe àkóso ààfin mi, èmi yóò fún ọ ní ààyè láti rìn láàrín àwọn tí ó dúró yìí.
“This is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘If you walk in My ways and keep My instructions, then you will govern My house and will also have charge of My courts; and I will give you a place among these who are standing here.
8 “‘Gbọ́, ìwọ Joṣua olórí àlùfáà, ìwọ, àti àwọn ẹgbẹ́ rẹ tí ó jókòó níwájú rẹ: nítorí ẹni ìyanu ni wọ́n: nítorí kíyèsi i, èmi yóò mú ẹ̀ka náà wá fun ìránṣẹ́ mi.
Hear now, O high priest Joshua, you and your companions seated before you, who are indeed a sign. For behold, I am going to bring My servant, the Branch.
9 Nítorí kíyèsi i, òkúta tí mo tí gbé kalẹ̀ níwájú Joṣua; lórí òkúta kan ni ojú méje wà: kíyèsi i, èmi yóò fín àkọlé rẹ̀,’ ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí, ‘Èmi yóò sì mú ẹ̀bi ilẹ̀ náà kúrò ní ọjọ́ kan.
See the stone I have set before Joshua; on that one stone are seven eyes. Behold, I will engrave on it an inscription, declares the LORD of Hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of this land in a single day.
10 “‘Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí pé, ní ọjọ́ náà ni olúkúlùkù yóò pe ẹnìkejì láti jókòó rẹ̀ sábẹ́ igi àjàrà àti sábẹ́ igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́.’”
On that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, you will each invite your neighbor to sit under your own vine and fig tree.’”
