< Zakari 3 >

1 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'.
Then he showed me Joshua, the high priest, standing before the messenger of the Lord and the Adversary standing at his right hand to accuse him.
2 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.
And the messenger of the Lord said to the Adversary, ‘May the Lord rebuke you, Adversary! The Lord, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a brand plucked out of the fire?’
3 Jozye te kanpe la devan zanj Seyè a, ak rad li tou sal.
Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments and was standing before the messenger.
4 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.
The messenger said to those who stood before him, ‘Take off his filthy garments.’ Then to Joshua he said, ‘I have taken your guilt from you and I will clothe you in priestly robes.’
5 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.
And he ordered: ‘Set a clean turban upon his head.’ So they set a clean turban on his head, and clothed him with garments. The messenger of the Lord was standing by.
6 Apre sa, zanj Seyè a pale ak Jozye, li di l' konsa:
And the messenger of the Lord testified to Joshua:
7 -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.
The Lord of hosts says: ‘If you walk in my ways, and if you will keep my instructions, then you will rule my house and keep my courts and I will give you a place of access among these that stand by.
8 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.
Hear now, Joshua the high priest, you and your associates who sit before me; for they are men who are a sign; for I am going to bring forth my servant the Branch.
9 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.
On the stone that I have set before Joshua, on one stone, are seven facets. I will engrave it,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘and I will remove the guilt of that land in one day.
10 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.
On that day,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘you will each invite your neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.’
