Zechariah 3

1 In sie pac aruruma LEUM GOD El ikasla nu sik ac nga liye Mwet Tol Fulat Joshua el tu ye mutun lipufan lun LEUM GOD. Ac Satan el tu layen layot sel Joshua, akola in sruk sie mwe tukak in lainul.

And the Lord revealed to me: Jesus the high priest, standing in the sight of the angel of the Lord. And Satan stood before his right hand, so as to be his adversary.

2 Na lipufan lun LEUM GOD fahk nu sel Satan, “Lela LEUM GOD Elan fahkot lah kom pa koluk, Satan! Lela LEUM GOD, su lungse Jerusalem, Elan arulana lain kom. Mwet se inge oana sie polosak ma tulakinyukla liki e uh.”

And the Lord said to Satan, “May the Lord rebuke you, Satan! And may the Lord, who chose Jerusalem, rebuke you! Are you not a firebrand plucked from the fire?”

3 Joshua el tu insac, nukum nuknuk na fohkfok.

And Jesus was clothed with filthy garments. And he stood before the face of an angel.

4 Lipufan sac fahk nu selos su kulansap lal inkusrao, “Sarukla nuknuk fohkfok ma mwet se inge nukum uh.” Na el fahk nu sel Joshua, “Nga eisla tari ma koluk lom, ac nga fah sot nu sum nuknuk sasu kom in nokomang.”

He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, “Take away the filthy garments from him.” And he said to him, “Behold, I have taken away from you your iniquity, and I have clothed you with a change of clothing.”

5 Na el sapkin mwet ma kulansap nu sel uh in filiya sie susu nasnas fin sifal Joshua. Elos orala oana ke el fahk, na elos filiya nuknuk sasu facl ke lipufan se lun LEUM GOD srakna tu insac.

And he said, “Place a clean diadem on his head.” And they placed a clean diadem on his head, and they clothed him with garments. And the angel of the Lord remained standing.

6 Na lipufan sac fahk nu sel Joshua lah

And the angel of the Lord contested with Jesus, saying:

7 LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk: “Kom fin akos na ma sap luk ac oru kunokon ma nga srisrngi kom nu kac, na kom ac fah srakna leum fin mwet karingin Tempul luk ac kalkal kac uh, ac nga ac fah porongo pre lom, oana ke nga porongo pac pre lun lipufan su tu ye mutuk.

Thus says the Lord of hosts: If you will walk in my ways and keep my charge, you likewise will judge my house and will keep my courts, and I will give you some of those who now attend here to walk with you.

8 Ke ma inge Joshua, kom su Mwet Tol Fulat, oayapa kowos su mwet tol wial, su mwe akul lun pacl wo ma ac fah tuku, kowos in porongo: nga fah akkalemye mwet kulansap luk, su pangpang Lesak!

Listen, Jesus the high priest, you and your friends, who dwell before you, who have been portending to men. For behold, I will lead my servant to the East.

9 Nga ac filiya ye mutal Joshua sie eot su oasr siska itkosr kac. Nga fah kihlisya sie sim fac, ac in len sefanna nga fah eisla ma koluk lun facl se inge.

For behold, the stone that I have bestowed before Jesus. Upon one stone, there are seven eyes. Behold, I will carve its engraving, says the Lord of hosts. And I will take away the iniquity of that land in one day.

10 Ke len sac ac mau tuku, kais sie suwos ac fah suli mwet tulan lal in tuku wi engankin moul in misla, rauniyukla ke ima in grape ac sak fig sunowos.”

On that day, says the Lord of hosts, every man will call his friend from under the vine and from under the fig tree.
