< 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.
Yase ingitshengisa uJoshuwa umphristi omkhulu emi phambi kwengilosi kaThixo, loSathane emi kwesokunene sakhe ephikisana laye.
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.
UThixo wathi kuSathane, “UThixo uyakukhuza, Sathane! UThixo oyikhethileyo iJerusalema, uyakukhuza! Umuntu lo kasisikhuni esihwatshwe sibhebha na?”
3 Joshua ni kakhin e khohna hah a khohna hoi kalvantami hmalah a kangdue teh,
UJoshuwa wema phambi kwengilosi egqoke ezingcolileyo.
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.
Ingilosi yasisithi kulabo ababemi phambi kwayo, “Mkhululeni izigqoko lezi ezingcolileyo.” Yasisithi kuJoshuwa, “Uyabona, sengisisusile isono sakho, yikho sengizakugqokisa izigqoko ezinhle kakhulu.”
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.
Ngasengisithi, “Mthwaliseni iqhiye ehlanzekileyo ekhanda lakhe.” Basebemthwalisa iqhiye ehlanzekileyo ekhanda, bamgqokisa njalo, ingilosi kaThixo ilokhu imi khonapho.
6 BAWIPA e kalvantami ni ransahu BAWIPA e kâpoenae bout a dei teh, Joshua koe kâlawk a poe e teh,
Ingilosi kaThixo yasimupha umlayo lo uJoshuwa, yathi:
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.
“Nanku akutshoyo uThixo uSomandla: ‘Nxa uzahamba ngezindlela zami ugcine izimiso zami, lapho-ke uzabusa indlu yami, uwaphathe lamaguma ami, njalo mina ngizakupha indawo phakathi kwalaba abemiyo lapha.
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.
Lalela, wena mphristi omkhulu Joshuwa, kanye labakhula bakho abahlezi phambi kwakho, abangamadoda ayisitshengiselo sezinto ezizayo: Ngizaletha inceku yami iHlumela.
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.
Uyabona, ilitshe engilimise phambi kukaJoshuwa! Kulamehlo ayisikhombisa phezu kwelitshe lilinye, njalo ngizagubha umbhalo kulo,’ kutsho uThixo uSomandla, ‘njalo ngizasisusa isono salelilizwe ngelanga elilodwa zwi.
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.
Ngalelolanga lowo lalowo wenu uzamema umakhelwane wakhe ukuthi ahlale ngaphansi kwevini lomkhiwa wakhe,’ kutsho uThixo uSomandla.”
