Zacarias 3

1 He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before Yahweh’s angel, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary. 2 Yahweh said to Satan, "Yahweh rebuke you, Satan! Yes, Yahweh who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn’t this a burning stick plucked out of the fire?"

3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the angel. 4 He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, "Take the filthy garments off him." To him he said, "Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich clothing."

5 I said, "Let them set a clean turban on his head."

So they set a clean turban on his head, and clothed him; and Yahweh’s angel was standing by.

6 Yahweh’s angel solemnly assured Joshua, saying, 7 "Yahweh of Armies says: ‘If you will walk in my ways, and if you will follow my instructions, then you also shall judge my house, and shall also keep my courts, and I will give you a place of access among these who stand by. 8 Hear now, Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows who sit before you, for they are men who are a sign; for, behold, I will bring out my servant, the Branch. 9 For, behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua: on one stone are seven eyes; behold, I will engrave its inscription,’ says Yahweh of Armies, ‘and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. 10 In that day,’ says Yahweh of Armies, ‘you will invite every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.’"

Te Kitenga Tuawhā: Te Tohunga Nui

1 I whakakitea hoki e ia ki ahau a Hohua, te tino tohunga e tū ana i te aroaro o te anahera a Ihowā, me Hātana e tū ana i tōna matau hei hoariri mōna. 2 Nā, ka mea atu a Ihowā ki a Hātana, "Kia whakatūpehupehu a Ihowā ki a koe, e Hātana! Āe rā, ko Ihowā nāna nei a Hiruhārama i whiriwhiri, kia whakatūpehupehu a Ihowā ki a koe; he teka ianei he mōunga tēnei kua kapohia mai i roto i te ahi?"

3 Nā, he whakahouhou ngā kākahu o Hohua, ā, i tū ia i te aroaro o te anahera. 4 Nā, ka oho ia, ka mea ki te hunga e tū ana i tōna aroaro, ka kī atu, "Tangohia ngā kākahu paru i a ia."

Kātahi ia ka mea ki a ia, "Nanā, kua meinga e ahau tōu hē kia pahemo atu i a koe, ā, ka whakakākahuria koe e ahau ki ngā kākahu whakapaipai."

5 Nā, ka mea ahau, "Pōtaea he pōtae ātaahua ki tōna māhunga." Nā, pōtaea ana e rātou he pōtae ātaahua ki tōna māhunga, ā, whakakākahuria ana ia e rātou; me te tū anō te anahera a Ihowā.

6 Kātahi te anahera a Ihowā ka kauwhau ki a Hohua, ka mea: 7 "Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā o ngā mano: Ki te haere koe i āku ara, ki te puritia e koe āku mea, nā, māu anō e whakarite mō tōku whare, māu hoki e tiaki ōku marae, ā, ka hoatu e ahau he hāereerenga mōu i roto i te hunga e tū nei. 8 Whakarongo mai āianei, e Hohua, e te tino tohunga, koutou ko ōu hoa e noho nā i tōu aroaro; hei tohu hoki rātou, aua tāngata: nō te mea, nanā, ka kawea mai e ahau tāku pononga, te Manga. 9 Nā, ko te kōhatu i hoatu e ahau ki te aroaro o Hohua, e whitu ngā kanohi o taua kōhatu kotahi; nā, māku e whaowhao ōna whakairo, e ai tā Ihowā o ngā mano, ā, ka whakawāteatia atu e ahau te hē o taua whenua i te rā kotahi.

10 "I taua rā, e ai tā Ihowā o ngā mano, ka karangatia e koutou tōna hoa, tōna hoa, i raro i te wāina, i raro hoki i te piki."
