< Zechariah 3 >

1 He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the LORD’s angel, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary.
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 The LORD said to Satan, “The LORD rebuke you, Satan! Yes, the LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn’t this a burning stick plucked 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, and was standing before the angel.
Joshua Vantil masanga adin chun anen dehduh in ahi
4 He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, “Take the filthy garments off him.” To him he said, “Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich clothing.”
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 I said, “Let them set a clean turban on his head.” So they set a clean turban on his head, and clothed him; and the LORD’s angel was standing by.
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 The LORD’s angel solemnly assured Joshua, saying,
Chuin Pakai vantil chun Joshua kom ah ahilchah nan aseijin,
7 “The LORD of Hosts says: ‘If you will walk in my ways, and if you will follow my instructions, then you also shall judge my house, and shall also keep my courts, and I will give you a place of access amongst 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 now, Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows who sit before you, for they are men who are a sign; for, behold, I will bring out my servant, the Branch.
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, behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua: on one stone are seven eyes; behold, I will engrave its inscription,’ says the LORD of Hosts, ‘and I will remove 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,’ says the LORD of Hosts, ‘you will invite every man his neighbour 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.
