Zekariah 13

1 To na niah loe zaehaih ciim ai pongah, David imthung takoh hoi Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk khaeah tui ka pueksak han.

In that day every place shall be opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for removal and for separation.

2 To na niah loe prae thung hoiah krang ih ahminnawk to ka phraek han, nihcae mah to ahminnawk to panoek o mak ai boeh: tahmaanawk hoi kaciim ai muithla to prae thung hoi ka haek han, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih.

And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord of hosts, [that] I will utterly destroy the names of the idols from off the land, and there shall be no longer [any] remembrance of them: and I will cut off the false prophets and the evil spirit from the land.

3 To naah lokthui tahmaanawk om o vop nahaeloe, anih cunkung amno hoi ampa mah anih khaeah, Angraeng ih ahmin hoi amsawnlok na thuih pongah, na hing han om ai, tiah naa tih. Tahmaanawk mah lokthuih o naah, anih cunkung amno hoi ampa mah to tahmaanawk to sumsen hoiah thun o tih.

And it shall come to pass, if a man will yet prophesy, that his father and his mother which gave birth to him shall say to him, You shall not live; for you has spoken lies in the name of the Lord: and his father and his mother who gave him birth shall bind him as he is prophesying.

4 To na niah tahmaanawk mah a hnuk o ih hmuen kawng thuih o naah, azat o tih; kami aling hanah moihin khukbuen to angkhuk mak ai boeh.

And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision when he prophesies; and they shall clothe themselves with a garment of hair, because they have lied.

5 Toe anih mah, Kai loe tahmaa na ai ni, kai loe lawkphrawk kami ni; nawkta nathuem hoi boeh ni kami maeto mah maitaw toep hanah ang patuk, tiah thui tih.

And [one] shall say, I am not a prophet, for I am a tiller of the ground, for a man brought me up [thus] from my youth.

6 Kami mah, Tipongah na ban ah ahma oh loe? tiah dueng o naah, Kam puinawk ih im ah ahma ka caak, tiah thui tih.

And I will say to him, What are these wounds between your hands? and he shall say, [Those] with which I was wounded in my beloved house.

7 Aw sumsen, kai ih tuutoep kami hoi kai ih ampui to tuk hanah, angthawk ah, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih: tuutoep kami hum naah loe tuunawk ampraek o phang tih: to tuucaanawk nuiah ban ka phok han.

Awake, O sword, against my shepherds, and against the man [who is] my citizen, says the Lord Almighty: strike the shepherds, and draw out the sheep: and I will bring mine hand upon the little ones.

8 Prae thung boih ah, thumto thungah hnetto hum o ueloe dueh o tih; toe thumto thungah maeto loe anghmat tih.

And it shall come to pass, [that] in all the land, says the Lord, two parts thereof shall be cut off and perish; but the third shall be left therein.

9 Sum kanglung hmai hoi atui pacii baktih, sui loe hmai hoiah tanoek ah oh baktih toengah, thumto haih to hmai thungah ka vah han: nihcae mah ka hmin to kawk o tih, to naah nihcae to ka pathim han: to naah kai mah, nihcae loe kai ih kami ni, tiah ka thuih han; nihcae mah doeh, Angraeng loe kai ih Sithaw ni, tiah thui o toeng tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.

And I will bring the third [part] through the fire, and I will try them as silver is tried, and I will prove them as gold is proved: they shall call upon my name, and I will hear them, and say, This is my people: and they shall say, The Lord [is] my God.
