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 he shows me Joshua the high priest standing before the Messenger of YHWH, and Satan standing at his right hand, to be an adversary to 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 YHWH says to Satan: “YHWH pushes against you, O Satan, Indeed, YHWH pushes against you, Who is fixing on Jerusalem, Is this not a brand delivered from fire?”

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

And Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and is standing before the Messenger.

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 He answers and speaks to those standing before Him, saying, “Turn aside the filthy garments from off him.” And He says to him, “See, I have caused your iniquity to pass away from off you, so as to clothe you with costly apparel.”

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.

He also said, “Let them set a pure turban on his head.” And they set the pure turban on his head, and clothe him with garments. And the Messenger of YHWH is standing,

6 Angẹli Olúwa sì tẹnumọ́ ọn fún Joṣua pé:

and the Messenger of YHWH protests to Joshua, 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 said YHWH of Hosts: If you walk in My ways, And if you keep My charge, Then also you judge My house, And also you keep My courts, And I have given to you conductors among these standing by.

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.

Now hear, O Joshua the high priest, You and your companions sitting before you (For men of type [are] they), For behold, I am bringing in My servant—a Shoot.

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 behold, the stone that I put before Joshua, On one stone [are] seven eyes, Behold, I am engraving its engraving, A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, And I have removed 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—a declaration of YHWH of Hosts, You call, each to his neighbor, To the place of the vine, And to the place of the fig tree!”
