< Zechariah 3 >

1 Then he showed me Joshua, the high priest, standing before the messenger of the Lord and the Adversary standing at his right hand to accuse him.
A HOIKE mai la oia ia'u ia Iosua ke kahuna nui e ku ana imua o ka anela o Iehova, a ku mai la o Satana ma kona lima akau, e ku e ia ia.
2 And the messenger of the Lord said to the Adversary, ‘May the Lord rebuke you, Adversary! The Lord, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a brand plucked out of the fire?’
I aku la o Iehova ia Satana, Na Iehova oe e papa aku, e Satana; na Iehova nana i koho o Ierusalema, e papa aku ia oe: aole anei keia he momokuahi i unuhiia'e mailoko mai o ke ahi?
3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments and was standing before the messenger.
A ua aahuia o Iosua i na kapa inoino, ia ia i ku ai imua o ka anela.
4 The messenger said to those who stood before him, ‘Take off his filthy garments.’ Then to Joshua he said, ‘I have taken your guilt from you and I will clothe you in priestly robes.’
Olelo mai la kela, i mai la i ka poe e ku ana imua ona, penei, E lawe aku i na kapa inoino mai ona aku la. I mai la hoi oia ia ia, Aia hoi, ke lawe aku nei au i kou hewa mai ou aku la, a e hoaahu aku au ia oe i na aahu nani.
5 And he ordered: ‘Set a clean turban upon his head.’ So they set a clean turban on his head, and clothed him with garments. The messenger of the Lord was standing by.
Alaila i aku la au, E kau aku lakou i papale kahuna maikai maluna o kona poo. Nolaila, kau aku la lakou i ka papale kahuna maikai maluna o kona poo, a hoaahu aku la ia ia i na aahu; a ku mai la ka anela o Iehova.
6 And the messenger of the Lord testified to Joshua:
Alaila, ao mai la ka anela o Iehova ia Iosua, i ka i ana,
7 The Lord of hosts says: ‘If you walk in my ways, and if you will keep my instructions, then you will rule my house and keep my courts and I will give you a place of access among these that stand by.
Penei ka Iehova o na kaua i olelo mai ai, Ina e hele oe ma kuu mau aoao, a e malama hoi i ka'u mau kauoha ia oe, alaila oe e alii ai maluna o ko'u hale, a e malama hoi i na pahale o'u, a e haawi hoi au nou i na wahi e hele ai iwaena o ka poe e ku nei.
8 Hear now, Joshua the high priest, you and your associates who sit before me; for they are men who are a sign; for I am going to bring forth my servant the Branch.
Ano hoi, e hoolohe mai oe, e Iosua ke kahuna nui e, o oe a me na hoaaloha e noho ana imua ou; no ka mea, he poe kanaka mea hoailona lakou: no ka mea, aia hoi, e kai mai auanei au i kuu kauwa o ka LALA.
9 On the stone that I have set before Joshua, on one stone, are seven facets. I will engrave it,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘and I will remove the guilt of that land in one day.
Aia hoi ka pohaku a'u i waiho ai imua o Iosua; a he ahiku na maka ma ua Pohaku hookahi la; a na'u no e kalai iho i kana kalaiia'na, wahi a Iehova o na kana, a e lawe aku au i ka hala o ia aina i ka la hookahi.
10 On that day,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘you will each invite your neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.’
Ia la la, e kahea aku kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona hoalauna, malalo o ke kumuwaina, a malalo o ka laau fiku, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
