1Zvino wakandiratidza Joshua mupristi mukuru, amire pamberi pomutumwa waJehovha, Satani amire paruoko rwake rworudyi, kuti ave mudzivisi wake.
1And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of Jehovah, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.
2Jehovha akati kuna Satani, Jehovha ngaakutuke, iwe Satani; zvirokwazvo, Jehovha, wakazvisanangurira Jerusaremu, ngaakutuke; ko ichi hachizi chitsiga chakabvutwa pamoto here?
2And 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?
3Zvino Joshua akanga akafuka nguvo dzine tsvina, amire pamberi pomutumwa.
3And Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the Angel.
4Akapindura, akataura navakanga vamire pamberi pake, achiti, Bvisai nguvo dzake dzine tsvina. Akati kwaari, Tarira, ndakabvisa zvakaipa zvako, ndichakupfekedza nguvo dzomutambo.
4And 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.
5Ini ndikati, Ngavamudzike ngowani yakachena pamusoro wake. Ipapo vakamudzika ngowani yakachena pamusoro wake, vakamupfekedza nguvo; zvino mutumwa waJehovha akanga amirepo.
5And 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.
6Mutumwa waJehovha akapupura kuna Joshua, achiti,
6And the Angel of Jehovah protested unto Joshua, saying,
7Zvanzi naJehovha wehondo, Kana ukafamba nenzira dzangu, kana ukachengeta zvandakakuraira, ipapo uchatonga imba yangu, uye uchachengetawo mavazhe angu, ini ndichakupa mapindire pakati pavamire pano.
7Thus 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.
8Zvino chinzwa iwe Joshua, mupristi mukuru, iwe neshamwari dzako dzigere pamberi pako; nekuti varume ava chiratidzo; nekuti tarirai, ndichauyisa muranda wangu, davi.
8Hear 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.
9nekuti tarira ibwe randakaisa pamberi paJoshua; pabwe rimwe pana meso manomwe; tarirai, ndichatema runyoro rwaro ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha wehondo ndichabvisa zvakaipa zvenyika iyo nezuva rimwe.
9For 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.
10Nezuva iro ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha wehondo muchadana, mumwe nomumwe wenyu shamwari yake agare pasi pomuzambiringa napasi pomuonde.
10In that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, shall ye invite every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig-tree.
