Zechariah 3
1 Hijou chun Vantil chun Pakai Vantil masanga ding ah thempu chungnung chu eivetsah in ahi. Akidoupi Satan chu Vantil jetlanga aumin Joshua chunga dounathu aseijin ahi.
And the Lord revealed to me: Jesus the high priest, standing in the sight of the angel of the Lord. And Satan stood before his right hand, so as to be his adversary.
2 Pakaichun satan jah a aseijin, Pakai keiman namidem naho chu ka sangpoi, Jerusalem kei dingin kalhenpa keiman nang chu kahin samsei ati. Hiche mipahi meikong laha kisatdoh thingkhong tobang ahi.
And the Lord said to Satan, “May the Lord rebuke you, Satan! And may the Lord, who chose Jerusalem, rebuke you! Are you not a firebrand plucked from the fire?”
3 Joshua Vantil masanga adin chun anen dehduh in ahi
And Jesus was clothed with filthy garments. And he stood before the face of an angel.
4 Hijeh chun Vantil chun hiche munna ding adangho komma chun, “avonho chu lahdoh peh un ati. Chuin Joshua langchu angat in “Ven, na chonsetna jouse chu ka lamang tan vonthah leh kape tan ahi” ati.
He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, “Take away the filthy garments from him.” And he said to him, “Behold, I have taken away from you your iniquity, and I have clothed you with a change of clothing.”
5 Hichun keiman “aluchunga chun delkop bang kop peh-un” ati. Hijeh chun, amaho chun aluchunga chun thempu delkop thengtah akhuhpeh un chuleh akomma chun Pakai Vantil chu ading jing in ahi.
And he said, “Place a clean diadem on his head.” And they placed a clean diadem on his head, and they clothed him with garments. And the angel of the Lord remained standing.
6 Chuin Pakai vantil chun Joshua kom ah ahilchah nan aseijin,
And the angel of the Lord contested with Jesus, saying:
7 “Hiche hi hatchungnung Pakaiyin asei ahi, nangin kathu nangaija chingthei tah a kakin na bolla ahileh, ka houin leh ahongcha a thu neina na kipe ding, chuleh hichea dingho lah a hikavale sah ding nahi, ati.
Thus says the Lord of hosts: If you will walk in my ways and keep my charge, you likewise will judge my house and will keep my courts, and I will give you some of those who now attend here to walk with you.
8 Vo thempu chungnung Joshua chuleh thempu dangdang ho kathu seihi ngaijun, nangho hi ahung lhung ding thilho hettheina nahiuve. Keihon kalhacha Abah thah chu kahin puivah ding ahitai.
Listen, Jesus the high priest, you and your friends, who dwell before you, who have been portending to men. For behold, I will lead my servant to the East.
9 Tun veovin, Joshua masang hin keiman songvah khatseh amai sagia kisem ka tung’e. Keiman ahunga chu lekhajem kajih ding chuleh keiman hiche gamsunga achonset na jouse nikhat sunga kasuh mang ding ahi, tin hatchungnung Pakaiyin aseijin ahi.
For behold, the stone that I have bestowed before Jesus. Upon one stone, there are seven eyes. Behold, I will carve its engraving, says the Lord of hosts. And I will take away the iniquity of that land in one day.
10 Hiche nikho tengle chun mikhat chehin naheng nakom chehchu na lengpithei le theichang phung noiya lungmonga toukhompi dinga nakikoudiu ahi.
On that day, says the Lord of hosts, every man will call his friend from under the vine and from under the fig tree.
