Zechariah 3
1 And he shewed me, Joshua the high priest, standing before the messenger of Yahweh, —and, the Accuser, standing at his right hand, to accuse him.
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.
2 Then said Yahweh unto the Accuser, Yahweh rebuke thee, O Accuser, Yea Yahweh rebuke thee, he who is choosing Jerusalem, —Is not, this, a brand snatched out of the fire?
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.
3 Now, Joshua, was clothed with filthy garments, —though standing before the messenger.
Te vaengah Joshua kah himbai pueinak te a khawthaw la om tih puencawn mikhmuh ah pai.
4 Then responded he and spake unto those who were standing before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from off him; and he said unto him, See! I have caused to pass from off thee, thine iniquity, And will cause thee to be clothed in robes of state.
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.
5 Then said I, Let them put a clean turban upon his head, —So they put the clean turban upon his head, and clothed him with garments, and, the messenger of Yahweh, was standing up.
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.
6 So then the messenger of Yahweh did solemnly affirm unto Joshua, saying:
Te phoeiah BOEIPA puencawn loh Joshua te a rhalrhing sak tih,
7 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, If, in my ways, thou wilt walk, and if, of my charge, thou wilt keep charge, Then, even thou, shalt govern my house, Moreover also, thou shalt have charge of my courts, —and I will give thee free access among these who stand by.
“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.
8 Hear, I pray thee, O Joshua the high priest, thou and thy friends who are sitting before thee, for, men to serve as signs, they are, —For behold me! bringing in my servant, the Bud;
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.
9 For lo! the stone which I have set before Joshua, Upon one stone, are Seven (pairs of) Eyes, —Behold me! cutting the engraving thereof, declareth Yahweh of hosts. So will I take away the iniquity of that land in one day.
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.
10 In that day, declareth Yahweh of hosts, Ye shall invite one another, —[to come] under the vine and under the fig-tree.
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.
