< Zechariah 3 >

1 And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of Jehovah, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.
Apre sa, Seyè a fè m' wè Jozye, granprèt la, ki te kanpe devan zanj Seyè a. Satan menm te kanpe sou bò dwat Jozye pou l' te ka akize l'.
2 And Jehovah said unto Satan, Jehovah rebuke thee, O Satan! Yea, Jehovah that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee! Is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
Zanj Seyè a di Satan konsa: -Se pou Seyè a regle ou, Satan. Wi, se pou Seyè a ki renmen lavil Jerizalèm lan regle ou! Nonm sa a tankou yon bout bwa tou limen yo kouri wete nan dife pou l' pa fin boule nèt.
3 And Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the Angel.
Jozye te kanpe la devan zanj Seyè a, ak rad li tou sal.
4 And he spoke and said unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from off him. And unto him he said, See, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I clothe thee with festival-robes.
Zanj lan pran lapawòl ankò, li pale ak lòt zanj ki te la tou devan li. Li di yo: -Wete rad sal ki sou li a. Epi li di Jozye konsa: -Ou wè. Mwen wete tout peche ou yo. M'ap ba ou bèl rad pwòp pou ou mete sou ou.
5 And I said, Let them set a pure turban upon his head. And they set the pure turban upon his head, and clothed him with garments; and the Angel of Jehovah stood by.
Lèfini, li pase yon lòd, li di lòt zanj yo: -Mare tèt li ak yon mouchwa pwòp. Yo mare tèt Jozye ak yon bèl mouchwa pwòp, epi yo mete rad pwòp sou li. Zanj lan menm te kanpe la ap gade.
6 And the Angel of Jehovah protested unto Joshua, saying,
Apre sa, zanj Seyè a pale ak Jozye, li di l' konsa:
7 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts; and I will give thee a place to walk among these that stand by.
-Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di ou: Si ou fè sa mwen di ou fè, si ou swiv lòd mwen ba ou yo, se ou menm ki pral gouvènen kay mwen an. W'a reskonsab lakou m' lan. M'a koute lapriyè ou menm jan mwen koute lapriyè zanj ki devan m' yo.
8 Hear now, Joshua the high priest, thou and thy fellows that sit before thee — for they are men of portent — for behold, I will bring forth my servant the Branch.
Koute byen, ou menm Jozye, granprèt la, ansanm ak prèt parèy ou yo ki la devan ou. Nou pral sèvi remak pou bagay ki gen pou rive a. M'ap fè sèvitè m' lan, sa yo rele Boujon an, vini.
9 For behold, the stone that I have laid before Joshua — upon one stone are seven eyes; behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith Jehovah of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of this land in one day.
Men m'ap mete yon wòch devan Jozye. Wòch sa a gen sèt fas. Se mwen menm ki pral make pawòl ki pou make sou wòch la. Se mwen menm Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki di sa. M'ap pran yon sèl jou pou m' wete tout peche ki nan peyi a.
10 In that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, shall ye invite every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig-tree.
Jou sa a, yonn pral envite lòt vin lakay nou anba pye rezen ak pye fig frans nou yo. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a menm ki di sa.
