1The word of Yahweh of Armies came to me.
1Huchiin sepaihte TOUPA thu ka kiang ah a hongtunga.
2Thus says Yahweh of Armies: “I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath.”
2Hichibangin sepaihte TOUPAN a chi: Thikthuse takin Zion ka hawmthoha, nakpia hehna toh amah din ka phatuamngai ahi, chiin.
3Thus says Yahweh: “I have returned to Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be called ‘The City of Truth;’ and the mountain of Yahweh of Armies, ‘The Holy Mountain.’”
3Hichibangin TOUPAN a chi; Zion ah kiksakin ka oma, Jerusalem laiah Katengding: huan Jerusalem bel Thutak khopi a kichi ding; sepaihte TOUPA mual, mual siangthou.
4Thus says Yahweh of Armies: “Old men and old women will again dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, every man with his staff in his hand for very age.
4Hichiin sepaihte TOUPAN a chi; jerusalem kongzingte ah putekte leh pitekte a hongteng khongkhong ding ua, upat mahmah jiakin michih a khuta chiangkhun toh.
5The streets of the city will be full of boys and girls playing in its streets.”
5Huan khopi kongzingte leh numei naupangtein a dim ding ua huaia kongzingtea mawlin.
6Thus says Yahweh of Armies: “If it is marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be marvelous in my eyes?” says Yahweh of Armies.
6Hichibangin sepaihte TOUPAN a chi: Huai ni khawng chianga hiai mite laka omlaite mita lamdang a hihleh, kei mit ah leng a lamdang sam kei dia hia? sepaihte TOUPAN a chi.
7Thus says Yahweh of Armies: “Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;
7Hichibangin sepaihte TOUPAN a chi: ngaiin, suahlam gama kipan leh tumlam gam akipan, ka mite ka hondam dinga:
8and I will bring them, and they will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and they will be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.”
8Huan amau ka honla dinga, Jerusalem laiah a teng ding ua; ka mite ahi ding ua, thutak leh diktatna ah, a Pathian uh ka hi ding.
9Thus says Yahweh of Armies: “Let your hands be strong, you who hear in these days these words from the mouth of the prophets who were in the day that the foundation of the house of Yahweh of Armies was laid, even the temple, that it might be built.
9Hichibangin sepaihte TOUPAN a chi; TOUPA in suangphum phum ni akipana hiai nitea jawlneite kam akipana hiai thute zate, noute khut honghat hen, huchia tempul a kilam theihna dingin.
10For before those days there was no wages for man, nor any wages for an animal; neither was there any peace to him who went out or came in, because of the adversary. For I set all men everyone against his neighbor.
10Huai nite malama mihing adia kilohna a om louha, a ganta dia leng kilohna a om samlouh jiakin; melma jiakin a pawtkhia hiam honglut hiam adingin leng muanna himhim a om sak kei a, mi tengteng mi chih a insakinkhang douin ka koih ngala.
11But now I will not be to the remnant of this people as in the former days,” says Yahweh of Armies.
11Himahleh tuin jaw hiai mite laka omlai tungah tuma lam nitea bangin ka om kei ding, sepaihte TOUPAN a chi hi.
12“For the seed of peace and the vine will yield its fruit, and the ground will give its increase, and the heavens will give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these things.
12Muan chi pawia om ding ahi ngala; grepguiin a gah a suang dinga, leitungin a pung a omsak dinga, vanten a daitui uh a pe ding uh; huchiin hiai mite laka omlaite hiai thil tengteng ka luahsak ding hi.
13It shall come to pass that, as you were a curse among the nations, house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and you shall be a blessing. Don’t be afraid. Let your hands be strong.”
13Huan hichi a honghi dinga, namte laka hamsia na nahih bang un, Aw Juda inkote leh Israel inkote, huchibang mahin nou ka hon hondam ding; huan vualjawlna na hi ding uh; lau kei un, himahleh na khutte uh hatsak un.
14For thus says Yahweh of Armies: “As I thought to do evil to you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath,” says Yahweh of Armies, “and I didn’t repent;
14Hichibangin lah sepaihte TOUPAN a chi ngala; Na pipute un a honhihheh lai ua, na tung ua gilou hih ding ka tup-bangin, huchiin ka nem tuan kei, sepaihte TOUPAN a chi;
15so again have I thought in these days to do good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. Don’t be afraid.
15Huchiin Jerusalem tung leh Juda inko tungah hoih hih ding tulai nitein ka tum nawnta hi; lau kei un.
16These are the things that you shall do: speak every man the truth with his neighbor. Execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates,
16Na hih ding uh thil hiaite ahi; Mi chihin a insakinkhang toh thutak kihilh un; na kongpite uah thutak leh lemna vaihawmna hih un;
17and let none of you devise evil in your hearts against his neighbor, and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate,” says Yahweh.
17Huan na lak ua kuamahin a insakinkhang siatna ding na lungtang uah gilou ngaihtuah kei un; thuchiam diklou deih kei un; hiaite tengteng lah ka thil huatlam tak ahi ngal ua, TOUPAN a chi.
18The word of Yahweh of Armies came to me.
18Huan sepaihte TOUPA thu ka kiang ah a hongtunga.
19Thus says Yahweh of Armies: “The fasts of the fourth fifth, seventh, and tenth months shall be for the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts. Therefore love truth and peace.”
19Hichibangin sepaihte TOUPAN a chi; kha lina annngawlna, ngana anngawlna, sagihna anngawlna leh sawmna anngawlna, Juda inkote ading in nuamna leh kipahna, ankuangluina vualnophuai ahi ding hi; huaijiakin thutak leh lemna deihin, chiin.
20Thus says Yahweh of Armies: “Many peoples, and the inhabitants of many cities will yet come;
20Huchiin sepaihte TOUPAN a chi; Hichibangin a hongom lai ding, mite leh khopi tampia tengteng a hongpai ding ua;
21and the inhabitants of one shall go to another, saying, ‘Let us go speedily to entreat the favor of Yahweh, and to seek Yahweh of Armies. I will go also.’
21Huan khopi khata tengteng adangah a pai ding ua, TOUPA deihsakna ngen ding leh sepaihte TOUPA zong dingin kintakin kuan ni; kei leng ka kuan ding, chiin, chiin.
22Yes, many peoples and strong nations will come to seek Yahweh of Armies in Jerusalem, and to entreat the favor of Yahweh.”
22A hi, mi tampite leh nam hatte Jerusalema sepaihte zong ding leh TOUPA deihsakna ngen dingin a hongkuan ding uhi.Hichibangin sepaihte TOUPAN a chi; huai ni chiangin hichi a honghi dinga, namte pau tengteng akipan, mi sawmin a len ding ua; amah Juda hipa puanten a lending ua, Na kiangah ka pai ding uh, na kiangah Pathian a om chih lah ka zata ngal ua, chiin.
23Thus says Yahweh of Armies: “In those days, ten men will take hold, out of all the languages of the nations, they will take hold of the skirt of him who is a Jew, saying, ‘We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.’”
23Hichibangin sepaihte TOUPAN a chi; huai ni chiangin hichi a honghi dinga, namte pau tengteng akipan, mi sawmin a len ding ua; amah Juda hipa puanten a lending ua, Na kiangah ka pai ding uh, na kiangah Pathian a om chih lah ka zata ngal ua, chiin.
