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.

And he let me see Joshua, the high priest, in his place before the angel of the Lord, and the Satan at his right hand ready to take up a cause against him.

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.”

And the Lord said to the Satan, May the Lord's word be sharp against you, O Satan, the word of the Lord who has taken Jerusalem for himself: is this not a burning branch pulled out of the fire?

3 Joshua el tu insac, nukum nuknuk na fohkfok.

Now Joshua was clothed in unclean robes, and he was in his place 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.”

And he made answer and said to those who were there before him, Take the unclean robes off him, and let him be clothed in clean robes;

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.

And let them put a clean head-dress on his head. So they put a clean head-dress on his head, clothing him with clean robes: and to him he said, See, I have taken your sin away from you.

6 Na lipufan sac fahk nu sel Joshua lah

And the angel of the Lord made a statement to Joshua, and said,

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.

These are the words of the Lord of armies: If you will go in my ways and keep what I have put in your care, then you will be judge over my Temple and have the care of my house, and I will give you the right to come in among those who are there.

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!

Give ear now, O Joshua, the high priest, you and your friends who are seated before you; for these are men who are a sign: for see, I will let my servant the Branch be seen.

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 see, the stone which I have put before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes: see, the design cut on it will be my work, says the Lord of armies, and I will take away the sin 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 armies, you will be one another's guests under the vine and under the fig-tree.
