Zechariah 3
1 Then [Yahweh] showed me Joshua, the Supreme Priest, [who was] standing in front of the angel that Yahweh had sent. And Satan was standing at Joshua’s right side, [ready] to accuse him.
A HOIKE mai la oia ia'u ia Iosua ke kahuna nui e ku ana imua o ka anela o Iehova, a ku mai la o Satana ma kona lima akau, e ku e ia ia.
2 But Yahweh said to Satan, “Satan, I am rebuking you! I [am the one] who has chosen Jerusalem [to be my special city, and I] am rebuking you! This [man, Joshua], [has been brought back from Babylonia]; he is surely [like] [MET, RHQ] a burning stick that has been snatched from a fire.”
I aku la o Iehova ia Satana, Na Iehova oe e papa aku, e Satana; na Iehova nana i koho o Ierusalema, e papa aku ia oe: aole anei keia he momokuahi i unuhiia'e mailoko mai o ke ahi?
3 Joshua was wearing filthy clothes while he was standing in front of the angel.
A ua aahuia o Iosua i na kapa inoino, ia ia i ku ai imua o ka anela.
4 The angel said to those [other angels] who were standing in front of him, “Take off his filthy clothes!” [After they did that, ] the angel said to Joshua, “Look! I have taken away [the guilt of] your sins, and I will put beautiful clothes on you.”
Olelo mai la kela, i mai la i ka poe e ku ana imua ona, penei, E lawe aku i na kapa inoino mai ona aku la. I mai la hoi oia ia ia, Aia hoi, ke lawe aku nei au i kou hewa mai ou aku la, a e hoaahu aku au ia oe i na aahu nani.
5 Then I said to them, “Put a clean turban on his head!” So they put a clean turban on his head and put [new] on him, while the angel sent by Yahweh was standing there.
Alaila i aku la au, E kau aku lakou i papale kahuna maikai maluna o kona poo. Nolaila, kau aku la lakou i ka papale kahuna maikai maluna o kona poo, a hoaahu aku la ia ia i na aahu; a ku mai la ka anela o Iehova.
6 Then the angel said [this] to Joshua:
Alaila, ao mai la ka anela o Iehova ia Iosua, i ka i ana,
7 “The Commander of the armies of angels says that if you do what I want you to do [IDM], and obey my instructions, you will (be in charge of/have authority over) [what is done in] my temple and its courtyard. And I will allow you to speak at any time to the angels who are standing near to me.
Penei ka Iehova o na kaua i olelo mai ai, Ina e hele oe ma kuu mau aoao, a e malama hoi i ka'u mau kauoha ia oe, alaila oe e alii ai maluna o ko'u hale, a e malama hoi i na pahale o'u, a e haawi hoi au nou i na wahi e hele ai iwaena o ka poe e ku nei.
8 Joshua, [you are] the Supreme Priest, and your (associates/fellow priests) are sitting in front of you. They symbolize/represent things that will happen in the future. [Some day] I am going to bring someone who will work for me, someone who will be called the Branch.
Ano hoi, e hoolohe mai oe, e Iosua ke kahuna nui e, o oe a me na hoaaloha e noho ana imua ou; no ka mea, he poe kanaka mea hoailona lakou: no ka mea, aia hoi, e kai mai auanei au i kuu kauwa o ka LALA.
9 Look at the stone that I have put in front of Joshua. There are seven sides on the stone. I will engrave a message on that stone, and in one day I will remove the guilt of [all the people of] this country.
Aia hoi ka pohaku a'u i waiho ai imua o Iosua; a he ahiku na maka ma ua Pohaku hookahi la; a na'u no e kalai iho i kana kalaiia'na, wahi a Iehova o na kana, a e lawe aku au i ka hala o ia aina i ka la hookahi.
10 At that time, each of you will invite his friends [to come and sit] under his grapevine and under his fig tree. [That is what] the Commander of the armies of angels declares.”
Ia la la, e kahea aku kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona hoalauna, malalo o ke kumuwaina, a malalo o ka laau fiku, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
