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 me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of YHWH, and Satan standing 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 YHWH said unto Satan, YHWH rebuke thee, O Satan; even YHWH that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?

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

Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood 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 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.

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 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 YHWH stood by.

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

And the angel of YHWH protested unto Joshua, 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 YHWH 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.

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.

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.

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 behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith YHWH of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that 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 YHWH of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.
