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.

He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the LORD’s angel, and Satan standing at his right hand 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.”

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?”

3 Joshua el tu insac, nukum nuknuk na fohkfok.

Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing 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.”

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.”

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.

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.

6 Na lipufan sac fahk nu sel Joshua lah

The LORD’s angel solemnly assured 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.

“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 among these who 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, 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.

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 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.

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, ‘you will invite every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.’”
