The Trial of the High Priest
1 And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.
Kisha akanionyesha Yoshua, kuhani mkuu, amesimama mbele ya malaika wa Bwana, na Shetani amesimama mkono wake wa kuume ili kushindana naye.
2 And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
Bwana akamwambia Shetani, Bwana na akukemee Ewe Shetani; naam, Bwana, aliyechagua Yerusalemu, na akukemee; je! Hiki si kinga kilichotolewa motoni?
3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.
Basi, Yoshua alikuwa amevaa nguo chafu sana, naye alikuwa akisimama mbele ya malaika.
4 And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.
Naye huyo akajibu, akawaambia wale waliosimama mbele yake, akisema, Mvueni nguo hizi zenye uchafu. Kisha akamwambia yeye, Tazama, nimekuondolea uovu wako, nami nitakuvika mavazi ya thamani nyingi.
5 And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD stood by.
Nikasema, Na wampige kilemba kizuri kichwani pake. Basi, wakampiga kilemba kizuri kichwani pake, wakamvika mavazi; naye malaika wa Bwana akasimama karibu.
6 And the angel of the LORD protested unto Joshua, saying,
Kisha malaika wa Bwana akamshuhudia Yoshua, akisema,
7 Thus saith the LORD 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 places to walk among these that stand by.
Bwana wa majeshi asema hivi, Kama ukienda katika njia zangu, na kama ukishika maagizo yangu, ndipo utakapoihukumu nyumba yangu, nawe utazilinda nyua zangu, nami nitakupa nafasi ya kunikaribia kati yao wasimamao karibu.
8 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH.
Sikiliza sasa, Ee Yoshua, kuhani mkuu, wewe na wenzako waketio mbele yako; maana hao ni watu walio ishara; kwa maana, tazama, ninamleta mtumishi wangu, aitwaye Chipukizi.
9 For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
Maana, litazame jiwe hili nililoliweka mbele ya Yoshua; katika jiwe moja yako macho saba; tazama, nitachora machoro yake, asema Bwana wa majeshi, nami nitauondoa uovu wa nchi ile katika siku moja.
10 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.
Katika siku ile, asema Bwana wa majeshi, ninyi mtamwalika kila mtu jirani yake chini ya mzabibu, na chini ya mtini.
