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.

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 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 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 A sì wọ Joṣua ni aṣọ èérí, ó sì dúró níwájú angẹli náà.

Now Jesus was clothed in filthy raiment, and 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.”

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 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.

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 Angẹli Olúwa sì tẹnumọ́ ọn fún Joṣua pé:

And the angel of the Lord testified to Jesus, saying,

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.

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 “‘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, Jesus the high priest, you, and your neighbours that are sitting before [you]: for they are diviners, for, behold, I bring forth 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.

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 “‘Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí pé, ní ọjọ́ náà ni olúkúlùkù yóò pe ẹnìkejì láti jókòó rẹ̀ sábẹ́ igi àjàrà àti sábẹ́ igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́.’”

In that day, says the Lord Almighty, you shall call together every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.
