Zekhariah 3

1 Te phoeiah BOEIPA puencawn hmai kah aka pai khosoih puei Joshua te kai n'tueng. Te vaengah Satan tah anih te khingkhoek hamla a bantang ah pai.

And he shewed mee Iehoshua the hie Priest, standing before the Angel of the Lord, and Satan stoode at his right hand to resist him.

2 BOEIPA loh Satan te, “BOEIPA loh, Satan nang te n'tluung saeh, Jerusalem aka coelh BOEIPA loh nang te n'tluung pai saeh. Hmaipok he hmai lamloh a huul moenih nama?,” a ti nah.

And the Lord said vnto Satan, The Lord reprooue thee, O Satan: euen the Lord that hath chosen Ierusalem, reprooue thee. Is not this a brand taken out of the fire?

3 Te vaengah Joshua kah himbai pueinak te a khawthaw la om tih puencawn mikhmuh ah pai.

Nowe Iehoshua was clothed with filthie garments, and stoode before the Angel.

4 Te dongah a mikhmuh ah aka pai te a doo tih a voek phoeiah, “A pum dong lamkah himbai a khawthaw te dul laeh,” a ti nah. Te daengah Joshua te, “So lah, Namah kah thaesainah te na pum dong lamloh kan dul tih nang te boeimanghni kam bai sak,” a ti nah.

And he answered and spake vnto those that stoode before him, saying, Take away the filthie garments from him. And vnto him hee saide, Behold, I haue caused thine iniquitie to depart from thee, and I wil clothe thee with change of raiment.

5 Te phoeiah, “A lu ah lupong cim muei sak uh,” ka ti nah. Te dongah lupong cim te a lu ah a muei sakuh. Anih te himbai a bai sak uh vaengah BOEIPA kah puencawn pai.

And I saide, Let them set a faire diademe vpon his head. So they set a faire diademe vpon his head, and clothed him with garments, and the Angel of the Lord stoode by.

6 Te phoeiah BOEIPA puencawn loh Joshua te a rhalrhing sak tih,

And the Angel of the Lord testified vnto Iehoshua, saying,

7 “Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Ka longpuei ah na pongpa atah, ka kuek te na tuem atah, nang long khaw kai imkhui te na lai na tloek pah vetih ka vongup te na dawndah bal ni. Te daengah ni aka pai rhoek lakli ah nang hamla caehlong kang khueh eh.

Thus saith the Lord of hostes, If thou wilt walke in my wayes, and keepe my watch, thou shalt also iudge mine House, and shalt also keepe my courtes, and I will giue thee place among these that stand by.

8 Khosoih puei Joshua aw, namah neh na mikhmuh kah kho aka sa na hui loh hnatun uh laeh. Amih tah kopoekrhai hlang rhoek ni. Kai loh ka sal he cangdueng lam ni kang khuen ngawn ne.

Heare now, O Iehoshua the hie Priest, thou and thy fellowes that sit before thee: for they are monstruous persons: but behold, I wil bring forth the Branche my seruant.

9 Joshua mikhmuh ah lungto ka tloeng ngawn coeng ne. Lungto pakhat dongah mik parhih om tih a thingthuk khaw ka thuk coeng ne. He tah caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Te dongah he diklai kah thaesainah he hnin at ah ka khum sak ni.

For loe, the stone that I haue layd before Iehoshua: vpon one stone shalbe seuen eyes: beholde, I will cut out the grauing thereof, saith the Lord of hostes, and I will take away the iniquitie of this land in one day.

10 He tah caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Te khohnin ah tah hlang loh a hui te misur hmui neh thaibu hmui la na khue uh ni,” a ti nah.

In that day, saith the Lord of hostes, shall ye call euery man his neighbour vnder the vine, and vnder the figge tree.
