1In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Jehovah unto Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,
1Daria kum nihna, kha giatnain, Iddo tapa, Bereka tapa, Zekaria, jawlnei kiangah TOUPA thu a hongtunga.
2Jehovah was sore displeased with your fathers.
2Na pipute uh tungah TOUPA nakpi takin a lungkimta kei hi, chiin.
3Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Return unto me, saith Jehovah of hosts, and I will return unto you, saith Jehovah of hosts.
3huaiziakin nang a kiang uah, huchibangin sepaihte TOUPA in a chi: Ka kiangah hongkik un, sepaihte TOUPAN a chi, huan na kiang uah ka hongkik ding, sepaihte TOUPAN a chi, chi in.
4Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets cried, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, Return ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith Jehovah.
4Hichibangin sepaihte TOUPAN a chi, Tuin na omdan gilou ua kipan leh na thil hih gilou te ua kipan hongkik un, chia jawlnei masaten a genna uh, na pipute uh bangin om kei un: ahihhang in amau honza kei ua, honngaikhe sam kei uh, sepaihte TOUPAN a chi.
5Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever?
5Na Pipute uh, koia om ahi ua? huan jawlneite, khantawna hing uhia?
6But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers? and they turned and said, Like as Jehovah of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us.
6Hiamhleh ka thute leh ka thusente, ka sikha jawlneite thupiaka ka piakte, huaiten na pipute uh a delhphate uh ahi kei maw? Huan a kihei ua, sepaihte TOUPAN i tung ua hih dia a ngaihtuah bangin, i omdan bang jelin leh i thilhihte bang jelin, huchibanga i tung ua hih eita ve, a chi ua.
7Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Jehovah unto Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,
7Daria kum nihna, Sebat kha, kha sawmlehkhat ni sawmnih leh li niin, Iddo tapa, Berekia tapa Zekaria, Jawlnei kiangah, TOUPA thu a hongtungta,
8I saw in the night, and, behold, a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle-trees that were in the bottom; and behind him there were horses, red, sorrel, and white.
8Janin ka mua, ngaiin mi khat sakol san tunga tuang, mun liapi om mui singte lakah a dinga; a nunglamah sakolte a om ua, a san, asanpuang leh a ngou.
9Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will show thee what these are.
9Huchiin, Aw ka TOUPA, hiaite bang ahi ua? ka chi a, Huan kei honhoupih angelin ka kiangah, Hiaite bang hi ding ahi ua ka honensak ding, a chi a.
10And the man that stood among the myrtle-trees answered and said, These are they whom Jehovah hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.
10Huan huia mui sing laka ding mipan a dawnga, Hiaite leia kivial leha vak dia TOUPAN a sawlte ahi uh, chiin.
11And they answered the angel of Jehovah that stood among the myrtle-trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.
11Huchiin huai mui sing lakah ding TOUPAN angel a dawng ua. Leia kivial lehin ka vakta ua, ngaiin, lei tengteng a tu kinkena, a khawl dide hi, chiin.
12Then the angel of Jehovah answered and said, O Jehovah of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?
12Huan TOUPA angelin a dawng a, Aw sepaihte TOUPA, hiai kum sawmsagih na heh khum, Jerusalem tung leh Juda khopite tungah bangtan chitna neilou ding na hia? chiin.
13And Jehovah answered the angel that talked with me with good words, [even] comfortable words.
13Huchiin TOUPAN thuhoihte, thu lungmuanhuaitea kei honhoupih angel a dawnga.
14So the angel that talked with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
14Huchiin kei honhoupih angelin ka kiangah, Hichibangin sepaihte TOUPAN a chi: Thikthu se takin Jerusalem leh Zion ka hawmthoh ahi, chiin, nang kikou in, chiin.
15And I am very sore displeased with the nations that are at ease; for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.
15Huan bangmah awlmoh lou namte tungah ka lungkim het kei a: neukha lela ka lung hihlouh laiin, siatna a thupisak sem sem ngal ua.
16Therefore thus saith Jehovah: I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies; my house shall be built in it, saith Jehovah of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth over Jerusalem.
16Huaijiakin hichibangin TOUPAN a chi hi: Chitnate toh Jerusalem lamah ka kiknawnta huai sungah ka in lam ahi ding, chiin,
17Cry yet again, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: My cities shall yet overflow with prosperity; and Jehovah shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
17Hichibangin sepaihte TOUPAN a chi: Hauhsakna jiakin ka khopite a kipalh dinga; TOUPAN Zion a lungmuanin, Jerusalem a tel lai ding hi, chiin, kikoubehlap lai in, chiin.
18And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, four horns.
18Huan ka daka, ngaiin ki li ka mu a.
19And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
19Huan kei honhoupih angel kiangah, Hiaite bang hi ding ahia? ka chi a. Aman, Hiai Juda, Israel, leh Jerusalem hawljak mite ahi ding uh, chiin a hondawnga.
20And Jehovah showed me four smiths.
20Huchiin TOUPAN siksekmi li a honensaka.Huchiin ken, Bang hih dia hiaite hong uh ahi ua? ka chi a. Huan aman thu a gen a, Kuamahin a lu a dak sak louh dia, Juda dalhjaksak hiai kite ahi uh: himahleh hiaite, dalhjaksak dinga Juda gam tunga a ki uh sangsak namte dou dinga hong, ahi ua; a kite uh paikhe dingin, a chi a.
21Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head; but these are come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations, which lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.
21Huchiin ken, Bang hih dia hiaite hong uh ahi ua? ka chi a. Huan aman thu a gen a, Kuamahin a lu a dak sak louh dia, Juda dalhjaksak hiai kite ahi uh: himahleh hiaite, dalhjaksak dinga Juda gam tunga a ki uh sangsak namte dou dinga hong, ahi ua; a kite uh paikhe dingin, a chi a.
