1Daria kum nihna, kha giatnain, Iddo tapa, Bereka tapa, Zekaria, jawlnei kiangah TOUPA thu a hongtunga.
1In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
2Na pipute uh tungah TOUPA nakpi takin a lungkimta kei hi, chiin.
2The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers.
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.
3Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the LORD of hosts.
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.
4Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the LORD.
5Na Pipute uh, koia om ahi ua? huan jawlneite, khantawna hing uhia?
5Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever?
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.
6But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? and they returned and said, Like as the LORD of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us.
7Daria kum nihna, Sebat kha, kha sawmlehkhat ni sawmnih leh li niin, Iddo tapa, Berekia tapa Zekaria, Jawlnei kiangah, TOUPA thu a hongtungta,
7Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
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.
8I saw by 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 were there red horses, speckled, and white.
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.
9Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these be.
10Huan huia mui sing laka ding mipan a dawnga, Hiaite leia kivial leha vak dia TOUPAN a sawlte ahi uh, chiin.
10And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.
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.
11And they answered the angel of the LORD 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.
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.
12Then the angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD 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?
13Huchiin TOUPAN thuhoihte, thu lungmuanhuaitea kei honhoupih angel a dawnga.
13And the LORD answered the angel that talked with me with good words and comfortable words.
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.
14So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
15Huan bangmah awlmoh lou namte tungah ka lungkim het kei a: neukha lela ka lung hihlouh laiin, siatna a thupisak sem sem ngal ua.
15And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.
16Huaijiakin hichibangin TOUPAN a chi hi: Chitnate toh Jerusalem lamah ka kiknawnta huai sungah ka in lam ahi ding, chiin,
16Therefore thus saith the LORD; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the LORD of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon 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.
17Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
18Huan ka daka, ngaiin ki li ka mu a.
18Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.
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.
19And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
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.
20And the LORD shewed me four carpenters.
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.
21Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.
