Zekhariah 3

1 Vaihma kacue Joshua ni BAWIPA e kalvantami hmalah a kangdue e thoseh, Setan ni a taran teh ahnie aranglah a kangdue e thoseh, kai hah na patue.

Then the angel showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, with Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him.

2 BAWIPA e kalvantami nihaiyah Oe Setan, BAWIPA ni nang teh na yue lawi seh, Jerusalem khopui ka rawi tangcoung e BAWIPA ni nang hah teh na yue raw naseh. Hete tami teh hmai dawk hoi rayu e thingtu nahoehmaw telah Setan hanlah atipouh.

And the LORD said to Satan: “The LORD rebukes you, Satan! Indeed, the LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebukes you! Is not this man a firebrand snatched from the fire?”

3 Joshua ni kakhin e khohna hah a khohna hoi kalvantami hmalah a kangdue teh,

Now Joshua was dressed in filthy garments as he stood before the angel.

4 Kalvantami ni kakhin khohna hah rading haw telah a hmalah kangdout e alouke taminaw hanlah atipouh. Joshua hanelah nange na yonnae ka thoung sak toe. Kamcu e khohna hoi na pathoup han atipouh.

So the angel said to those standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes!” Then he said to Joshua, “See, I have removed your iniquity, and I will clothe you with splendid robes.”

5 Kai ni hai kathounge lupawk ahnie a lû dawk pawk sak awh, ka tie patetlah kathounge lupawk hah ahnie a lû dawk a pawk sak awh teh khohna hah a khohna sak awh. BAWIPA e kalvantami haiyah ahnimae ateng vah a kangdue.

Then I said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head.” So a clean turban was placed on his head, and they clothed him, as the angel of the LORD stood by.

6 BAWIPA e kalvantami ni ransahu BAWIPA e kâpoenae bout a dei teh, Joshua koe kâlawk a poe e teh,

Then the angel of the LORD gave this charge to Joshua:

7 Nang ni ka lamthung na dawn teh ka kâlawknaw na tarawi pawiteh kaie ka im lawkceng thainae hoi ka lentoenae im hai na khetyawt han. Na hmalah kangdout e tami tangawn hah lamthung kapâtuekung lah na o nahanlah kai ni na hmoun han.

“This is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘If you walk in My ways and keep My instructions, then you will govern My house and will also have charge of My courts; and I will give you a place among these who are standing here.

8 Oe, vaihma kacue Joshua na hmalah kaawm e na huikonaw hoi cungtalah thai awh haw. Nangmouh teh mitnoutnae hoi kâkuen e lah na o awh. Kaie ka san lah kaawm e cakang ka tâco sak han.

Hear now, O high priest Joshua, you and your companions seated before you, who are indeed a sign. For behold, I am going to bring My servant, the Branch.

9 Joshua hmalah ka hruek e talung hah khenhaw! Hote talung buet touh teh a mit sari touh padai vaiteh a khet han. Hote talung hai ka hem han. Hnin touh hoiyah hete ram e yon ka takhoe han telah ransahu BAWIPA ni ati.

See the stone I have set before Joshua; on that one stone are seven eyes. Behold, I will engrave on it an inscription, declares the LORD of Hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of this land in a single day.

10 Hatnae hnin nah, nangmouh ni na imri buet touh hoi buet touh misurkung rahim, thaibunglung rahim na kâkaw awh han telah ransahu BAWIPA ni ati.

On that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, you will each invite your neighbor to sit under your own vine and fig tree.’”
