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 he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.

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, The LORD rebuke you, O Satan; even the LORD that has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?

3 Joshua el tu insac, nukum nuknuk na fohkfok.

Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the 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.”

And he answered and spoke to those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And to him he said, Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with change of raiment.

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 I said, Let them set a fair turban on his head. So they set a fair turban on his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD stood by.

6 Na lipufan sac fahk nu sel Joshua lah

And the angel of the LORD protested to Joshua, 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 if you will keep my charge, then you shall also judge my house, and shall also keep my courts, and I will give you places to walk among these that stand by.

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!

Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you, and your fellows that sit before you: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH.

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 laid before Joshua; on one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the engraving thereof, says the LORD of hosts, and I will remove 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.”

In that day, says the LORD of hosts, shall you call every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.
