< 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.
He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of Jehovah, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary.
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.
Jehovah said to Satan, "Jehovah rebuke you, Satan. Yes, Jehovah who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you. Isn't this a burning stick plucked out of the fire?"
3 Joshua loe panuet thok khukbuen to angkhuk moe, van kami hma ah angdoet.
Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the angel.
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.
He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, "Take the filthy garments off of him." To him he said, "Look, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich clothing."
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.
I 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 Jehovah was standing by.
6 Angraeng ih van kami mah Joshua khaeah hae tiah lokthuih pae,
The angel of Jehovah protested 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 says Jehovah of hosts: '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.
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.
Hear now, Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows who sit before you; for they are men who are a sign: for, look, I will bring forth my servant, the Branch.
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, look, the stone that I have set before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes: look, I will engrave its engraving,' says Jehovah of hosts, 'and I will remove 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,' says Jehovah of hosts, 'you will invite every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.'"
