¹An oracle. The word of Yahweh concerning Israel. Yahweh, who stretches out the heavens, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him says:

¹Juda tungtanga TOUPA thu kilakna. Vante phaih khiaa, lei kingakna koiha, mihing sunga mihing kha koihpa, TOUPAN hichiin a chi.

²“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of reeling to all the surrounding peoples, and on Judah also will it be in the siege against Jerusalem.

²Ngaiin, khokim khovela mite adingin Jerusalem hoina nouin ka bawl dinga, Juda tungah leng, Jerusalem lakna ah ahi ding hi.

³It will happen in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the peoples. All who burden themselves with it will be severely wounded, and all the nations of the earth will be gathered together against it.

³Huan huai ni chiangin hichi ahi dinga, mi tengteng adingin Jerusalem suang chimtakhuaiin ka bawl dinga, amah jiaka tunggik kisate nakpia liamsakin a om ding ua, amah dou dingin leia namte tengteng a kikhawm khawm ding uh

⁴In that day,” says Yahweh, “I will strike every horse with terror, and his rider with madness; and I will open my eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness.

⁴Huai ni chiangin lamdangsakna toh sakol chih ka khen dinga, hehna toh atungtuangmi; huan Juda inko tungah ka mit a hak dinga mittawtnain mite sakol chih ka gawt ding hi.

⁵The chieftains of Judah will say in their heart, ‘The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in Yahweh of Armies their God.’

⁵Huan Juda hausaten a lungtang un, Jerusalem a tengten sepaihte TOUPA a Pathian uah hatna a nei uh, a chi ding uh.

⁶In that day I will make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire among wood, and like a flaming torch among sheaves; and they will devour all the surrounding peoples, on the right hand and on the left; and Jerusalem will yet again dwell in their own place, even in Jerusalem.

⁶Huai ni chiangin Juda hausate sing laka mei bel bangin ka bawl dia, buhphal laka mei meisel bangin; a kimavela mite tengteng a negai ding uh. Khuttaklam pang leh veilam panga; huan Jerusalem amah mun mahmah ah a hongteng nawn khongkhong ding, Jerusalem mahmah ah.

⁷Yahweh also will save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem not be magnified above Judah.

⁷TOUPAN a masain Juda puaninte leng a hondam ding. David inkote thupina leh Jerusalema tengte thupina Juda tunga kiliksak louhna dingin.

⁸In that day Yahweh will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem. He who is feeble among them at that day will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of Yahweh before them.

⁸Huai ni chiang in TOUPAN Jerusalema tengte a hum dinga, huan a lak ua hatlou pen leng huai ni chiangin David bangin a om ding; David inkote Pathian bangin a om ding ua, a ma ua TOUPA angel bangin.

⁹It will happen in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

⁹Huan huai ni chiangin hichi ahi dinga, Jerusalem dou dinga hongkuan namte tengteng hihse dingin ka zong ding.

¹⁰I will pour on the house of David, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they will look to me After “me,” the Hebrew has the two letters “Aleph Tav” (the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet), not as a word, but as a grammatical marker. whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly for him, as one grieves for his firstborn.

¹⁰Huan David inkote tung, leh jerusalema tengte tungah hehpihna leh thungetna kha ka sung bo ding; a sutpa uh lam a en ding uhi: amah a sun ding ua, min a tapa neihsun a sun bangin, huan amah a kah ding uh, min a tamasa khasetaka a kah bangin.

¹¹In that day there will be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.

¹¹Huai ni chiang in Jerusalem ah sunna thupi a om ding, Megiddon guama Hadadrimmon sunna bang.

¹²The land will mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;

¹²Huan gamin a sun dia; inkuan chih a tuamin; David nam inkote a tuamin, a jite uh a tuamin; Nathan nam inkote a tuamin, a jite uh a tuamin

¹³the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of the Shimeites apart, and their wives apart;

¹³Levi nam inkote a tuamin, a jite uh a tuamin, Simei inkote a tuamin, a jite uh a tuamin;Inko tengteng a omlai, inko chih a tuamin, a jite uh a tuamin.

¹⁴all the families who remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.

¹⁴Inko tengteng a omlai, inko chih a tuamin, a jite uh a tuamin.
