Zekariah 1
1 Darius siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning hnetto haih, khrah tazetto naah, Iddo capa Berekiah, Berekiah capa Tahmaa Zekariah khaeah Angraeng ih lok to angzoh.
In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, hath a word of Jehovah been unto Zechariah, son of Berechiah, son of Iddo, the prophet, saying:
2 Angraeng loe nam panawk nuiah paroeai palungphui.
'Jehovah was wroth against your fathers — wrath!
3 To pongah kaminawk khaeah thui paeh; misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih: kai khaeah amleam oh, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih: kai doeh nangcae khaeah kam laem let toeng han, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih.
And thou hast said unto them, Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, turn back unto Me, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, And I turn back unto you, said Jehovah of Hosts.
4 Nam panawk baktiah om o hmah; nihcae khaeah hmaloe ih tahmaanawk mah hae tiah thuih pae o; kasae sakhaih hoi kahoih ai loklam thung hoiah amlaem o let ah, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih, tiah a naa. Toe nihcae mah tahngai pae o ai moe, tidoeh sah pae o ai, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
Ye shall not be as your fathers, To whom the former prophets called, saying: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Turn back I pray you, From your evil ways and from your evil doings, And they did not hearken, Nor attend to Me — an affirmation of Jehovah.
5 Nam panawk loe vaihi naa ah maw oh o boeh? Tahmaanawk loe hing o poe maw?
Your fathers — where [are] they? And the prophets — to the age do they live?
6 Nam panawk loe kaimah ih tamna tahmaanawk khaeah thuih ih ka loknawk hoi ka lok takroekhaihnawk to kae o boeh na ai maw? To naah nichae mah dawnpakhuem o, misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng loe a sak han atim ih baktih toengah, ka caeh o ih loklam hoi ka sak o ih hmuen baktiah aicae nuiah lokcaek boeh, tiah thuih o.
Only, My words, and My statutes, That I commanded My servants the prophets, Have they not overtaken your fathers, And they turn back and say: As Jehovah of Hosts designed to do to us, According to our ways, and according to our doings, So He hath done to us?'
7 Darius siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning hnetto haih, khrah hathlaito Shebat khrah, ni pumpae palito naah, Iddo capa Berekaih, Berekaih capa tahmaa Zakariah khaeah, Angraeng ih lok to angzoh.
On the twenty and fourth day of the eleventh month, (it [is] the month of Sebat, ) in the second year of Darius, hath a word of Jehovah been unto Zechariah, son of Berechiah, son of Iddo, the prophet, saying:
8 Khoving ah hnuksakhaih maeto kai khaeah amtueng, to naah ka hma ah hrang kathim nuiah anghnu kami maeto ka hnuk! anih loe azawn ah kaom aqam kahing thingkung salakah angdoet: anih hnuk ah kathim, kamnum hoi kanglung hrangnawk to angdoet o.
I have seen by night, and lo, one riding on a red horse, and he is standing between the myrtles that [are] in the shade, and behind him [are] horses, red, bay, and white.
9 Kai mah, Ka Angraeng, haenawk loe tih aa? tiah ka naa. Kai khaeah lokthui van kami mah, Haenawk loe timaw, tito kang patuek han, tiah ang naa.
And I say, 'What [are] these, my lord?' And the messenger who is speaking with me saith unto me, 'I — I do shew thee what these [are].'
10 To naah aqam kahing thingkung salakah angdoe kami mah, Hae kaminawk loe long pum ah caeh hanah Angraeng mah patoeh ih kami ah oh o, tiah ang naa.
And the one who is standing between the myrtles doth answer and say, 'These [are] they whom Jehovah hath sent to walk up and down in the land.'
11 Nihcae mah aqam kahing thingkung salakah angdoe Angraeng ih van kami khaeah, Long pum ah ka caeh o, long pum loe monghaih hoiah khosak o, tiah a thuih pae o.
And they answer the messenger of Jehovah who is standing between the myrtles, and say, 'We have walked up and down in the land, and lo, all the land is sitting still, and at rest.'
12 To naahAngraeng ih van kami mah, Saning qui sarihto Jerusalem hoi Judah vangpui nuiah palung na phui boeh, nasetto maw palungnathaih tawn ai ah na oh thuih han vop? tiah a naa.
And the messenger of Jehovah answereth and saith, 'Jehovah of Hosts! till when dost Thou not pity Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, that Thou hast abhorred these seventy years?'
13 To pongah kai khae lokthui van kami khaeah Angraeng mah kazoi lok hoiah monghaih lok to a thuih pae.
And Jehovah answereth the messenger, who is speaking with me, good words, comfortable words.
14 To naah kai khaeah lokthui van kami mah, Hae lok hae taphong ah; misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah hae lok hae thuih: Jerusalem hoi Zion pakaa hanah paroeai tha ka pathok.
And the messenger who is speaking with me, saith unto me, 'Call, saying: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: I have been zealous for Jerusalem, and for Zion [with] great zeal.
15 Toe anghngai duem prae kalah kaminawk nuiah loe palung ka phui parai: nihcae mah Jerusalem raihaih thap o aep pongah, palung ka phui, tiah a thuih.
And [with] great wrath I am wroth against the nations who are at ease, For I was a little wroth, and they assisted — for evil.
16 To pongah Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; palungnathaih hoiah Jerusalem ah kam laem let han. Kai ih im loe sak let ah om tih: Jerusalem to sak let hanah qui hoiah tah let tih, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih.
Therefore, thus said Jehovah: I have turned to Jerusalem with mercies, My house is built in it, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, And a line is stretched over Jerusalem.
17 Taphong let ah: misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih, Ka vangpuinawk loe angraeng o let tih, Angraeng mah Zion to pathloep let ueloe, Jerusalem doeh qoih ih vangpui ah om let tih, tiah a naa.
Again call, saying: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Again do my cities overflow from good, And Jehovah hath again comforted Zion, And He hath fixed again on Jerusalem.'
18 Ka khet tahang naah, ka hma ah takii palito ka hnuk!
And I lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, four horns.
19 Kai khaeah lokthui van kami khaeah, Hae hmuennawk loe tih aa? tiah ka naa. Anih mah, Hae loe Judah, Israel, Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk anghaehsak phang acaeng kaminawk ni, tiah ang naa.
And I say unto the messenger who is speaking with me, 'What [are] these?' And he saith unto me, 'These [are] the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.'
20 To naah Angraeng mah bantok sah kop kami palitonawk to ang patuek.
And Jehovah doth shew me four artisans.
21 To pacoengah kai mah, Hae hmuennawk loe tih sak han ih aa? tiah ka naa. Anih mah, Hae kaminawk loe mi mah doeh lu doeng tahang thaih han ai ah Judah kaminawk anghaehsak phang takiinawk ni: toe nihcae mah zit o hanah bantok sah kop kaminawk to angzo o ueloe, Judah kami anghaehsak phang Gentel kaminawk ih takii to amrosak ving tih, tiah ang naa.
And I say, 'What [are] these coming in to do?' And He speaketh, saying: 'These [are] the horns that have scattered Judah, so that no one hath lifted up his head, and these come in to trouble them, to cast down the horns of the nations who are lifting up a horn against the land of Judah — to scatter it.'
