< 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.
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.
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?
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.
3 Now, Joshua, was clothed with filthy garments, —though standing before the messenger.
Joshua Vantil masanga adin chun anen dehduh in ahi
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.
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.
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.
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.
6 So then the messenger of Yahweh did solemnly affirm unto Joshua, saying:
Chuin Pakai vantil chun Joshua kom ah ahilchah nan aseijin,
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.
“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.
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;
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.
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.
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.
10 In that day, declareth Yahweh of hosts, Ye shall invite one another, —[to come] under the vine and under the fig-tree.
Hiche nikho tengle chun mikhat chehin naheng nakom chehchu na lengpithei le theichang phung noiya lungmonga toukhompi dinga nakikoudiu ahi.
