Zekariah 3

1 To naah Angraeng ih van kami hma ah kangdoe, kalen koek qaima Joshua to ang hnuksak, Setan loe anih zae net hanah anih ih bantang bangah angdoet.

And he shows me Joshua the high priest standing before the Messenger of YHWH, and Satan standing at his right hand, to be an adversary to him.

2 Angraeng mah, Setan khaeah, Aw Setan, Angraeng mah ang zoeh, Jerusalem qoikung Angraeng mah nang to ang zoeh boeh! anih loe hmai thung hoi azuh ih thing baktiah na ai maw oh? tiah a naa.

And YHWH says to Satan: “YHWH pushes against you, O Satan, Indeed, YHWH pushes against you, Who is fixing on Jerusalem, Is this not a brand delivered from fire?”

3 Joshua loe panuet thok khukbuen to angkhuk moe, van kami hma ah angdoet.

And Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and is standing before the Messenger.

4 Anih mah ahma ah angdoe kaminawk khaeah, Panuet thok khukbuennawk to khring pae oh, tiah a naa. To pacoengah anih khaeah, Khenah, na zaehaih kang vah pae ving boeh, kalah khukbuen to kang khuksak han boeh, tiah a naa.

And He answers and speaks to those standing before Him, saying, “Turn aside the filthy garments from off him.” And He says to him, “See, I have caused your iniquity to pass away from off you, so as to clothe you with costly apparel.”

5 To naah kai mah, Kaciim pala to a lu nuiah khuk pae oh, tiah ka naa. To pongah kaciim pala to a lu nuiah khuk pae o, anih to khukbuen angkhuk o sak. Angraeng ih van kami loe anih taengah angdoet.

He also said, “Let them set a pure turban on his head.” And they set the pure turban on his head, and clothe him with garments. And the Messenger of YHWH is standing,

6 Angraeng ih van kami mah Joshua khaeah hae tiah lokthuih pae,

and the Messenger of YHWH protests to Joshua, saying,

7 misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, Kai ih loklam na pazui moe, Ka thuih ih lok na pazui nahaeloe, Ka im hae na uk tih, Ka im taeng boih na uk tih; haeah angdoe kaminawk salakah caehhaih ahmuen to kang paek han.

“Thus said YHWH of Hosts: If you walk in My ways, And if you keep My charge, Then also you judge My house, And also you keep My courts, And I have given to you conductors among these standing by.

8 Aw kalen qaima Joshua, nang hoi na hma ah anghnu nam puinawk, Tahgai oh: nangcae loe angzo han koi angmathaih ah na oh o; khenah, Ka tamna, TANGHANG to ka tacawtsak let han, tiah thuih, tiah a naa.

Now hear, O Joshua the high priest, You and your companions sitting before you (For men of type [are] they), For behold, I am bringing in My servant—a Shoot.

9 Joshua hma ah ka suek ih thlung hae, khenah: to ih thlung maeto nuiah loe mik sarihto oh: khenah, to thlung nuiah ca ka tarik han, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih; nito thungah to prae thung ih zaehaih to ka takhoe boih han, tiah a thuih.

For behold, the stone that I put before Joshua, On one stone [are] seven eyes, Behold, I am engraving its engraving, A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, And I have removed the iniquity of that land in one day.

10 To na niah loe kami boih mah a im taeng kaminawk to misurkung hoi thaiduetkung tlim ah anghnut han kawk o tih, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih, tiah a naa.

In that day—a declaration of YHWH of Hosts, You call, each to his neighbor, To the place of the vine, And to the place of the fig tree!”
