Sakalaia 3

1 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.

And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of Jehovah, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.

2 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?”

And Jehovah said unto Satan, Jehovah rebuke thee, O Satan! Yea, Jehovah that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee! Is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?

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

And Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the Angel.

4 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.”

And he spoke and said unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from off him. And unto him he said, See, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I clothe thee with festival-robes.

5 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.

And I said, Let them set a pure turban upon his head. And they set the pure turban upon his head, and clothed him with garments; and the Angel of Jehovah stood by.

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

And the Angel of Jehovah protested unto Joshua, saying,

7 ‌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.

Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts; and I will give thee a place to walk among these that stand by.

8 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.

Hear now, Joshua the high priest, thou and thy fellows that sit before thee — for they are men of portent — for behold, I will bring forth my servant the Branch.

9 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.’

For behold, the stone that I have laid before Joshua — upon one stone are seven eyes; behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith Jehovah of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of this land in one day.

10 ‌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.’”

In that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, shall ye invite every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig-tree.
