Zekariah 2
1 Ka khet tahang let naah, ban ah tahhaih qui kasin kami maeto ka hnuk.
Then I looked again and I saw a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2 Kai mah anih hanah, Naa ah maw na caeh han? tiah ka naa. Anih mah, Jerusalem nazetto maw kawk moe, nasetto maw sawk, tito ka tah han, tiah ang naa.
“Where are you going?” I asked him. “I'm going to Jerusalem to measure its width and length,” he replied.
3 To naah khenah, kai khaeah lokthui van kami loe a caeh, to naah kalah van kami maeto anih tongh hanah caeh,
The angel I was talking to came forward and another angel came to meet him
4 anih khaeah, Cawn ah loe, to ih saning kanawk thendoeng khaeah, pop parai kaminawk hoi maitaw ohhaih ahmuen ah oh pongah, Jerusalem tapang loe pakaahaih sipae om mak ai boeh:
and told him, “Run, and tell the young man that Jerusalem will have so many people and farm animals that it will be too big to have walls.”
5 kai loe anih hanah hmai tapang baktiah ka oh pae han, vangpui thungah lensawkhaih hoiah ka oh han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih, tiah thui paeh tiah a naa.
The Lord declares, I myself will be a wall of fire all around the city, and I will be the glory inside it.
6 Ho, Ho, aluek bang prae hoiah cawn oh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih; van tlim ih takhi palito ohhaih ahmuen ah nangcae to kang haeh o boih boeh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
Run! Run! Run away from the northern land, says the Lord, because I have scattered you to the four winds of heaven.
7 Aw Zion, Angzo ah, Babylon canu hoi nawnto kaom kaminawk, Loih hanah cawn oh.
Run away, people of Zion! All of you who live in Babylon must escape.
8 Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, Anih lensawkhaih hoi oh pacoengah, nangcae paro prae kaminawk khaeah kai ang patoeh; nangcae loe Anih ih mik baktiah na oh o pongah, nangcae sui kami loe Anih ih mik sui kami ah ni oh, tiah thuih.
For this is what the Lord Almighty said: Afterwards the glorious Lord sent me against the nations that plundered you—for those who touch you touch the apple of his eye.
9 Khenah, nihcae to ka tuk moe, nihcae ih tamnanawk to kam rosak han: to naah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah kai ang patoeh, tito na panoek tih.
I will raise my hand against them and their former slaves will plunder them. Then you will know the Lord Almighty has sent me.
10 Aw Zion canu, anghoe ah loe laa to sah ah: khenah, kang zoh moe, nangcae salakah ka oh han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
Sing in celebration, people of Zion, for I am coming to live with you, declares the Lord.
11 To na niah kanoih parai prae kaminawk Angraeng khaeah angzo o ueloe, kai ih kami ah om o tih: kai nangcae salakah ka oh han, to naah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah nangcae khaeah kai patoeh, tito na panoek o tih.
Many nations will become believers in Lord on that day, and they shall be my people. I will live among you, and you will know the Lord Almighty has sent me to you.
12 Angraeng mah kaciim Judah prae loe angmah ih taham qawk ah toep ueloe, Jerusalem loe a qoih ih vangpui ah om let tih.
The people of Judah will be the Lord's special people in the holy land, and he will once again choose Jerusalem as his special city.
13 Kaminawk boih, Angraeng hmaa ah, anghngai o duem ah, anih loe a ohhaih hmuenciim hoiah angthawk boeh.
Be silent before the Lord, everyone, for he has risen from the holy place where he lives.
