< Hakaraia 3 >

1 I whakakitea hoki e ia ki ahau a Hohua, te tino tohunga e tu ana i te aroaro o te anahera a Ihowa, me Hatana e tu ana i tona matau hei hoariri mona.
And he shewed mee Iehoshua the hie Priest, standing before the Angel of the Lord, and Satan stoode at his right hand to resist him.
2 Na ka mea atu a Ihowa ki a Hatana, kia whakatupehupehu a Ihowa ki a koe, e Hatana; ae ra, ko Ihowa nana nei a Hiruharama i whiriwhiri, kia whakatupehupehu a Ihowa ki a koe: he teka ianei he mounga tenei kua kapohia mai i roto i te ahi?
And the Lord said vnto Satan, The Lord reprooue thee, O Satan: euen the Lord that hath chosen Ierusalem, reprooue thee. Is not this a brand taken out of the fire?
3 Na he whakahouhou nga kakahu o Hohua, a i tu ia i te aroaro o te anahera.
Nowe Iehoshua was clothed with filthie garments, and stoode before the Angel.
4 Na ka oho ia, ka mea ki te hunga e tu ana i tona aroaro, ka ki atu, Tangohia nga kakahu paru i a ia. Katahi ia ka mea ki a ia, Nana, kua meinga e ahau tou he kia pahemo atu i a koe, a ka whakakakahuria koe e ahau ki nga kakahu whakapaipai.
And he answered and spake vnto those that stoode before him, saying, Take away the filthie garments from him. And vnto him hee saide, Behold, I haue caused thine iniquitie to depart from thee, and I wil clothe thee with change of raiment.
5 Na ka mea ahau, Potaea he potae ataahua ki tona mahunga. Na potaea ana e ratou he potae ataahua ki tona mahunga, a whakakakahuria ana ia e ratou; me te tu ano te anahera a Ihowa.
And I saide, Let them set a faire diademe vpon his head. So they set a faire diademe vpon his head, and clothed him with garments, and the Angel of the Lord stoode by.
6 Katahi te anahera a Ihowa ka kauwhau ki a Hohua, ka mea,
And the Angel of the Lord testified vnto Iehoshua, saying,
7 Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano; Ki te haere koe i aku ara, ki te puritia e koe aku mea, na mau ano e whakarite mo toku whare, mau hoki e tiaki oku marae, a ka hoatu e ahau he haereerenga mou i roto i te hunga e tu nei.
Thus saith the Lord of hostes, If thou wilt walke in my wayes, and keepe my watch, thou shalt also iudge mine House, and shalt also keepe my courtes, and I will giue thee place among these that stand by.
8 Whakarongo mai aianei, e Hohua, e te tino tohunga, koutou ko ou hoa e noho na i tou aroaro; hei tohu hoki ratou, aua tangata: no te mea, nana, ka kawea mai e ahau taku pononga, te Manga.
Heare now, O Iehoshua the hie Priest, thou and thy fellowes that sit before thee: for they are monstruous persons: but behold, I wil bring forth the Branche my seruant.
9 Na, ko te kohatu i hoatu e ahau ki te aroaro o Hohua, e whitu nga kanohi o taua kohatu kotahi; na, maku e whaowhao ona whakairo, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, a ka whakawateatia atu e ahau te he o taua whenua i te ra kotahi.
For loe, the stone that I haue layd before Iehoshua: vpon one stone shalbe seuen eyes: beholde, I will cut out the grauing thereof, saith the Lord of hostes, and I will take away the iniquitie of this land in one day.
10 I taua ra, e ai ta Ihowa o nga mano, ka karangatia e koutou tona hoa, tona hoa, i raro i te waina, i raro hoki i te piki.
In that day, saith the Lord of hostes, shall ye call euery man his neighbour vnder the vine, and vnder the figge tree.
