Zekariah 9
1 Angraeng lokcaekhaih Hadrak hoi Damaska vangpui nuiah krah tih: Angraeng mah kaminawk hoi Israel acaengnawk to khet.
This is the burden of the word of the LORD against the land of Hadrach and Damascus its resting place— for the eyes of men and of all the tribes of Israel are upon the LORD —
2 Lokcaekhaih loe a taengah kaom Hamath vangpui nuiah krah tih, palungha kami ah kaom, Tura hoi Sidon nuiah doeh krah tih.
and also against Hamath, which borders it, as well as Tyre and Sidon, though they are very shrewd.
3 Tura loe misa buephaih kacak im to sak, sum kanglung to maiphu baktih, sui to loklam ih tangkrok baktiah patungh.
Tyre has built herself a fortress; she has heaped up silver like dust, and gold like the dirt of the streets.
4 Khenah, Angraeng mah anih to va ving ueloe, a thacakhaih to tuipui thungah amrosak tih; anih loe hmai mah kang tih.
Behold, the Lord will impoverish her and cast her wealth into the sea, and she will be consumed by fire.
5 Ashkelon vangpui mah hnuk naah, zii tih; Gaza mah doeh hnu ueloe, paroeai palungsae tih; Ekron ih oephaih doeh azat thok hmuen ah angcoeng ving tih; Gaza siangpahrang to dueh tih, Ashkelon ah kami om mak ai boeh.
Ashkelon will see and fear; Gaza will writhe in agony, as will Ekron, for her hope will wither. There will cease to be a king in Gaza, and Ashkelon will be uninhabited.
6 Acaeng kangbaeh kaminawk loe Ashdod vangpui ah om o tih, Philistinnawk amoekhaih to kam rosak han.
A mixed race will occupy Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
7 Nihcae mah athii kaom moi to caa o mak ai ueloe, panuet thok caaknaek doeh caa o mak ai boeh; toe kanghmat kami loe aicae Sithaw hanah qawk ah om tih, anih loe Judah prae zaehoikung ah om ueloe, Ekron vangpui loe Jebus kami maeto ah om tih.
I will remove the blood from their mouths and the abominations from between their teeth. Then they too will become a remnant for our God; they will become like a clan in Judah, and Ekron will be like the Jebusites.
8 Toe misatuk han caeh moe, amlaem kaminawk pongah, kaimah ih im to ka toep han: mi mah doeh kai ih kaminawk to pacaekthlaek let mak ai boeh. Kaom hmuen to mik hoi ka hnuk boeh.
But I will camp around My house because of an army, because of those who march to and fro, and never again will an oppressor overrun My people, for now I keep watch with My own eyes.
9 Aw Zion canu, anghoe parai ah; Jerusalem canu hang ah: khenah, Na siangpahrang loe nang khaeah angzoh: anih loe toeng moe, pahlonghaih a tawnh; poek pahnaemhaih hoiah laa hrang nuiah angthueng, saning kanawk laa hrang nuiah angthueng hoiah angzoh.
Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O Daughter of Jerusalem! See, your King comes to you, righteous and victorious, humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
10 Ephraim khae ih hrang lakok to ka lak moe, Jerusalem khae ih misatukhaih hrang to ka lak pae han, misatukhaih kalii to ka khaeh pae han: anih mah Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk khaeah monghaih lok to thui pae tih: anih ukhaih loe tuipui hae bang hoi ho bang khoek to, vapui hoi long boeng khoek to kawk tih.
And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem, and the bow of war will be broken. Then He will proclaim peace to the nations. His dominion will extend from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates to the ends of the earth.
11 Athii hoi sak ih lokmaihaih loe nangcae han doeh oh toeng pongah, thongim krah kaminawk to tui om ai tangqom thung hoiah ka loisak han.
As for you, because of the blood of My covenant, I will release your prisoners from the waterless pit.
12 Thongim krah kaminawk, amlaem oh, oephaih kang paek o; nangcae han alet hnetto tangqum kang paek o han, tiah vaihi kang thuih o boeh.
Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope; even today I declare that I will restore to you double.
13 Judah to kalii avak baktiah ka vak moe, Ephraim ih kalii to ka koisak han, Aw Zion na capanawk to ka pathawk han, Aw Grik na capanawk to misa ah ka suek moe, thacak kami ih sumsen baktiah kang coengsak han.
For I will bend Judah as My bow and fit it with Ephraim. I will rouse your sons, O Zion, against the sons of Greece. I will make you like the sword of a mighty man.
14 Nihcae nuiah Angraeng amtueng tih, anih ih kalii loe ni aengh baktiah ampha tih: Angraeng Sithaw mah mongkah to ueng ueloe, aloih bang ih takhi hoiah caeh tih.
Then the LORD will appear over them, and His arrow will go forth like lightning. The Lord GOD will sound the ram’s horn and advance in the whirlwinds of the south.
15 Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah angmah ih kaminawk to pakaa tih; nihcae to amrosak ueloe, zai ih lawkthluemnawk doeh pazawk tih: nihcae loe misurtui nae kaminawk baktiah hang o tih; nihcae loe hmuenpaekhaih sak nathuem ih kakoi mong sabae baktih, im takii ih hmaicam baktiah om o tih.
The LORD of Hosts will shield them. They will destroy and conquer with slingstones; they will drink and roar as with wine. And they will be filled like sprinkling bowls, drenched like the corners of the altar.
16 To na niah loe angmacae ih Angraeng Sithaw mah angmah ih tuucaanawk baktiah nihcae to pahlong tih: nihcae loe Angraeng lumuek pong ih atho kaom thlung baktiah om o ueloe, pazawkhaih kahni baktiah a prae thungah aang tih.
On that day the LORD their God will save them as the flock of His people; for like jewels in a crown they will sparkle over His land.
17 Nihcae hoihhaih loe kawkruk maw len, a krang hoihhaih doeh kawkrukmaw len tih! Thendoengnawk loe laikok ih cang baktiah qoeng o ueloe, takha thung ih misurkung baktiah qoeng o tih.
How lovely they will be, and how beautiful! Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine, the young women.
