< Zekariah 10 >

1 Hnukkhuem ih khotui angzoh hanah Angraeng khaeah hni oh; kho angzoh hanah Angraeng mah kho amnimsak moe, kaminawk hanah kho angzosak, kaminawk boih hanah lawk ah anqam to tacawtsak.
Ask from the Lord rain, at the time of spring rain, from the Lord who forms the storm clouds, and the showers of rain he gives to you, and green in the field.
2 Sak cop ih krangnawk loe amsawnlok to thuih o, angzo han koi hmuen thui kaminawk loe amsawnlok ni a thuih o, amsoem ai amang to a thuih o moe, atho kaom ai monghaih lok to a thuih o; tuu toepkung om ai pongah, nihcae loe raihaih tongh o, kaminawk loe tuu baktiah amhet o.
But the household gods speak nonsense, and the diviners see lies, and relate idle dreams. In vain they offer comfort, so the people wander like sheep, They suffer because there is no shepherd.
3 Tuu toep kaminawk nuiah palung ka phui moe, zaehoikungnawk to ka thuitaek: misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, tuunawk hoi Judah imthung takoh to khenzawn ueloe, nihcae to kahoih angmah ih misatukhaih hrang baktiah sah tih.
My wrath is hot against the shepherds, and on the leaders will I bring punishment. For the Lord cares for his flock, the house of Judah, and will make them his splendid war steeds.
4 To tuu thung hoiah im takii ih kamtak thlung baktih, kahni im takhuekhaih cung baktih, misatukhaih kalii baktiah thacak, ukkungnawk to angzo tih.
From Judah will come the cornerstone and the stay, from them the battle bow, from them goes forth every commander.
5 Nihcae loe misatukhaih loklam ih tangnong thungah misa atii thacak kaminawk baktih toengah om o tih: Angraeng loe nihcae hoi nawnto oh pongah, nihcae mah misa tuh o ueloe, hrang nui angthueng kaminawk to azat o sak tih.
Together they will trample on warriors, as on the dirt of the streets in battle. They fight, for the Lord is with them, putting the riders on horses to shame.
6 Judah imthung to tha ka caksak moe, Joseph imthung takoh to ka pahlong han, nihcae nuiah palungnathaih ka tawnh pongah, nihcae to ka hoih let han: nihcae loe haekhaih tong vai ai kami baktiah om o tih; nihcae ih Angraeng Sithaw ah ka oh pongah, nihcae lawkthuihaih to ka tahngai pae han.
I will make strong the house of Judah, I will bring deliverance to the house of Joseph, I will bring them back for I have compassion on them, they will be as if I had not driven them away. For I am the Lord their God and will answer them.
7 Ephraim kaminawk loe thacak kami baktiah om o tih, nihcae ih palung doeh misurtui nae kami baktiah anghoehaih tawn o tih: ue, to tiah kaom hmuen to nihcae ih caanawk mah hnuk o naah anghoe o tih: nihcae ih palung loe Angraeng ah anghoe o tih.
The Ephraimites will be like warriors, their hearts will rejoice as with wine, their children will see and rejoice. Their hearts will exult in the Lord.
8 Kai mah nihcae to ka loisak pongah, nihcae han angmathaih atuenh to ka paek moe, nihcae to ka tacuu han: nihcae loe canghnii ih baktih toengah, angpung o tih.
I will whistle for them, and gather them, and they will be as many as they once were.
9 Nihcae to kaminawk salakah kang haehsak phang, toe nihcae mah angthla parai prae hoiah kai to panoek o tih; nihcae loe a caanawk hoi nawnto om o poe ueloe, amlaem o let tih.
I will sow them among the peoples, but in distant lands they will remember me, and they will bring up their children and come back.
10 Nihcae to Izip prae thung hoiah ka hoih let moe, Assyria prae thung hoiah ka tacuu let han; nihcae han ohhaih ahmuen om ai khoek to, Gilead hoi Lebanon prae ah ka hoih han.
I will bring them home from the land of Egypt, and from Assyria will I gather them. Into the land of Gilead and Lebanon I will bring them, until the land overflows with them.
11 Nihcae loe pacaekthlaekhaih tuipui bang hoiah caeh o tih, tuipui tuiphu to pazawk o ueloe, kathuk tuipuinawk doeh kaang boih tih: Assyria amoekhaih to pahnaem tathuk ueloe, Izip ih cunghet doeh anghma tih boeh.
And when they pass through the sea of distress, I will strike down the waves of the sea, and all the deeps of the Nile will be dried up. The pride of Assyria will be brought low and the sceptre of Egypt turned aside.
12 Nihcae to Angraeng ah tha ka caksak han, nihcae loe anih ih ahmin hoiah caeh o tathuk, caeh o tahang tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
I will make them strong in the Lord, they will walk in his name, says the Lord.
