UZekhariya 3

1 Yasingitshengisa uJoshuwa umpristi omkhulu emi phambi kwengilosi yeNkosi; loSathane emi esandleni sakhe sokunene ukumelana laye.

Pea naʻa ne fakahā kiate au ʻa Siosiua, ko e taulaʻeiki lahi, ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova; pea tuʻu ʻa hono fili ko Sētane ʻi hono potu toʻomataʻu, ko hono tukuakiʻi.

2 INkosi yasisithi kuSathane: INkosi kayikukhuze, wena Sathane, yebo kayikukhuze iNkosi, eyikhethileyo iJerusalema. Lo kayisiso isikhuni yini esophulwe emlilweni?

Pea naʻe pehē ʻa Sihova kia Sētane, “ʻE Sētane ke valokiʻi koe ʻe Sihova, ʻio, ʻa Sihova ʻaia kuo ne fili ʻa Selūsalema, ke ne valokiʻi koe! ʻIkai ko e potupotuʻi afi eni, kuo hamusi mai mei he afi?”

3 UJoshuwa-ke wayembethe izigqoko ezingcolileyo; wayemi phambi kwengilosi.

Ka ko eni, naʻe kofuʻaki ʻa Siosiua ʻae ngaahi kofu fakalielia, ʻi heʻene tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻāngelo.

4 Yasiphendula yakhuluma kulabo ababemi phambi kwayo isithi: Susani izigqoko ezingcolileyo kuye. Yasisithi kuye: Bona, ngenzile isiphambeko sakho sedlule kuwe, ngikugqokise izembatho zomkhosi.

Pea naʻe lea ia kiate kinautolu naʻe tutuʻu ʻi hono ʻao, ʻo pehē, “Vete meiate ia ʻae ngaahi kofu fakalielia;” pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “Vakai, kuo u pule ke mole atu meiate koe ʻa hoʻo ngaahi hia, pea te u totongi mo fakakofuʻaki koe ʻae kofu foʻou.”

5 Ngasengisithi: Kababeke iqhiye ehlambulukileyo ekhanda lakhe. Basebebeka iqhiye ehlambulukileyo ekhanda lakhe, bamgqokisa izembatho; njalo ingilosi yeNkosi yayimi khona.

Pea ne u pehē, “Tuku ke nau ʻai ki hono ʻulu ʻae pale fakasanisani; pea ko ia naʻa nau ʻai ha pale fakasanisani ki hono ʻulu, pea naʻe ʻai mo e ngaahi kofu kiate ia. Pea naʻe tuʻu ofi ai ʻae ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova.

6 Ingilosi yeNkosi yasifakaza kuJoshuwa isithi:

Pea naʻe fakapapau mai ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua, ʻo pehē,

7 Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Uba uzahamba ezindleleni zami, njalo uba uzagcina umlindo wami, lapho lawe uzakwahlulela indlu yami, ugcine lamaguma ami; njalo ngizakunika ilungelo lokuhamba phakathi kwalaba abemi khona.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; “Kapau te ke ʻeveʻeva ʻi hoku ngaahi hala, pea kapau te ke fai ki heʻeku fekau, pehē, te ke toki fakamaau foki ʻi hoku fale, pea te ke tauhi foki ʻa hoku ngaahi lotoʻā, pea te u vaheʻi ha ngaahi potu ke ke ʻeveʻeva fakataha ai mo kinautolu ʻoku tau tutuʻu ai ni.

8 Zwana khathesi, Joshuwa mpristi omkhulu, wena labangane bakho abahlezi phambi kwakho, ngoba bangabantu besibonakaliso. Ngoba, khangela, ngizaveza inceku yami, iHlumela.

Fanongo eni, ʻE Siosiua ko e taulaʻeiki lahi, ʻaa koe, mo hoʻo kaunga ngāue ʻoku nofo ʻi ho ʻao: he ko e kau tangata ʻoku fai ki ai ʻae ofo; he vakai, te u fakahā ʻeau ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko e VAA.

9 Ngoba khangela ilitshe engilibeke phambi kukaJoshuwa; phezu kwelitshe elilodwa kuzakuba lamehlo ayisikhombisa. Khangela, ngizabhala ngokugubha okugujiweyo kwalo, itsho iNkosi yamabandla, njalo ngizasusa isiphambeko salelolizwe ngosuku olulodwa.

Koeʻuhi, vakai ki he maka ʻaia kuo u ʻai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Siosiua; ʻe ʻi he maka ʻe taha ʻae mata ʻe fitu; vakai te u tongi ʻeau ʻae tongi ʻe fai ki ai, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ‘pea te u ʻave ʻae angahala ʻae fonua ko ia ʻi he ʻaho pe taha.’

10 Ngalolosuku, itsho iNkosi yamabandla, lizabiza, ngulowo lalowo umngane wakhe ngaphansi kwesivini langaphansi komkhiwa.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ‘ko e ʻaho ko ia ʻe feuiʻaki ʻae tangata taki taha ki hono kaungāʻapi ʻi he lolo vaine mo e lolo fiki.’”
