1Zvino wakandiratidza Joshua mupristi mukuru, amire pamberi pomutumwa waJehovha, Satani amire paruoko rwake rworudyi, kuti ave mudzivisi wake.
1He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of Yahweh, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary.
2Jehovha akati kuna Satani, Jehovha ngaakutuke, iwe Satani; zvirokwazvo, Jehovha, wakazvisanangurira Jerusaremu, ngaakutuke; ko ichi hachizi chitsiga chakabvutwa pamoto here?
2Yahweh said to Satan, “Yahweh rebuke you, Satan! Yes, Yahweh who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn’t this a burning stick plucked out of the fire?”
3Zvino Joshua akanga akafuka nguvo dzine tsvina, amire pamberi pomutumwa.
3Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the angel.
4Akapindura, akataura navakanga vamire pamberi pake, achiti, Bvisai nguvo dzake dzine tsvina. Akati kwaari, Tarira, ndakabvisa zvakaipa zvako, ndichakupfekedza nguvo dzomutambo.
4He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, “Take the filthy garments off of him.” To him he said, “Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich clothing.”
5Ini ndikati, Ngavamudzike ngowani yakachena pamusoro wake. Ipapo vakamudzika ngowani yakachena pamusoro wake, vakamupfekedza nguvo; zvino mutumwa waJehovha akanga amirepo.
5I said, “Let them set a clean turban on his head.” So they set a clean turban on his head, and clothed him; and the angel of Yahweh was standing by.
6Mutumwa waJehovha akapupura kuna Joshua, achiti,
6The angel of Yahweh protested to 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.
7“Thus says Yahweh of Armies: ‘If you will walk in my ways, and if you will follow my instructions, then you also shall judge my house, and shall also keep my courts, and I will give you a place of access among these who 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, you and your fellows who sit before you; for they are men who are a sign: 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 set before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes: behold, I will engrave its engraving,’ says Yahweh of Armies, ‘and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
10Nezuva iro ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha wehondo muchadana, mumwe nomumwe wenyu shamwari yake agare pasi pomuzambiringa napasi pomuonde.
10In that day,’ says Yahweh of Armies, ‘you will invite every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.’”
