Zechariah 3
1 And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of Jehovah, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.
I whakakitea hoki e ia ki ahau a Hohua, te tino tohunga e tu ana i te aroaro o te anahera a Ihowa, me Hatana e tu ana i tona matau hei hoariri mona.
2 And Jehovah said unto Satan, Jehovah rebuke thee, O Satan! Yea, Jehovah that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee! Is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
Na ka mea atu a Ihowa ki a Hatana, kia whakatupehupehu a Ihowa ki a koe, e Hatana; ae ra, ko Ihowa nana nei a Hiruharama i whiriwhiri, kia whakatupehupehu a Ihowa ki a koe: he teka ianei he mounga tenei kua kapohia mai i roto i te ahi?
3 And Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the Angel.
Na he whakahouhou nga kakahu o Hohua, a i tu ia i te aroaro o te anahera.
4 And he spoke and said unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from off him. And unto him he said, See, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I clothe thee with festival-robes.
Na ka oho ia, ka mea ki te hunga e tu ana i tona aroaro, ka ki atu, Tangohia nga kakahu paru i a ia. Katahi ia ka mea ki a ia, Nana, kua meinga e ahau tou he kia pahemo atu i a koe, a ka whakakakahuria koe e ahau ki nga kakahu whakapaipai.
5 And I said, Let them set a pure turban upon his head. And they set the pure turban upon his head, and clothed him with garments; and the Angel of Jehovah stood by.
Na ka mea ahau, Potaea he potae ataahua ki tona mahunga. Na potaea ana e ratou he potae ataahua ki tona mahunga, a whakakakahuria ana ia e ratou; me te tu ano te anahera a Ihowa.
6 And the Angel of Jehovah protested unto Joshua, saying,
Katahi te anahera a Ihowa ka kauwhau ki a Hohua, ka mea,
7 Thus saith Jehovah 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 a place to walk among these that stand by.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano; Ki te haere koe i aku ara, ki te puritia e koe aku mea, na mau ano e whakarite mo toku whare, mau hoki e tiaki oku marae, a ka hoatu e ahau he haereerenga mou i roto i te hunga e tu nei.
8 Hear now, Joshua the high priest, thou and thy fellows that sit before thee — for they are men of portent — for behold, I will bring forth my servant the Branch.
Whakarongo mai aianei, e Hohua, e te tino tohunga, koutou ko ou hoa e noho na i tou aroaro; hei tohu hoki ratou, aua tangata: no te mea, nana, ka kawea mai e ahau taku pononga, te Manga.
9 For behold, the stone that I have laid before Joshua — upon one stone are seven eyes; behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith Jehovah of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of this land in one day.
Na, ko te kohatu i hoatu e ahau ki te aroaro o Hohua, e whitu nga kanohi o taua kohatu kotahi; na, maku e whaowhao ona whakairo, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, a ka whakawateatia atu e ahau te he o taua whenua i te ra kotahi.
10 In that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, shall ye invite every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig-tree.
I taua ra, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, ka karangatia e koutou tona hoa, tona hoa, i raro i te waina, i raro hoki i te piki.
