< Zekhariah 10 >
1 Tlankhol tue vaengah khotlan te BOEIPA taengah bih uh. BOEIPA loh rhaek a saii tih, khotlan khonal te diklai kah baelhing hlang taengah a paek.
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 Sithui khaw boethae la cal, Hlang aka bi khaw a honghi a hmuh. A poeyoek la mang a thui uh tih, a honghi la a hloep uh. Te dongah boiva bangla poeng uh. Aka dawn khaw tal tih phaep uh.
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 Boiva aka dawn rhoek taengah khaw ka thintoek sai tih kikong rhoek te ka cawh ni. Caempuei BOEIPA loh a tuping neh Judah imkhui te a cawh ni. Te vaengah amih te caemtloek vaengkah a mueithennah marhang bangla a khueh ni.
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 Amih lamloh bangkil lung, ciphuem, caemtloek lii neh laisuk boeih te rhenten thoeng ni.
From Judah will come the cornerstone and the stay, from them the battle bow, from them goes forth every commander.
5 Caemtloek vaengah vongvoel kah tangnong dongah aka suntlae hlangrhalh bangla om uh vetih a vathoh uh ni. BOEIPA he amih taengah om vetih, marhang dongkah aka ngol khaw yak uh ni.
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 imkhui te ka len sak ni. Joseph imkhui khaw ka khang vetih amih te ka mael puei ni. Amih te ka haidam dongah amih te ka hlahpham pawt bangla om uh ni. Kai YAHWEH tah amih kah Pathen la ka om dongah amih te ka doo ni.
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 te hlangrhalh bangla om vetih, a lungbuei te misur bangla a kohoe ni. A ca a hmuh vaengah a kohoe uh vetih, BOEIPA dongah a lungbuei omngaih ni.
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 Amih ham kut ka ving vetih, amih ka coi ni. Amih te ka lat vetih ping rhoe ping uh ni.
I will whistle for them, and gather them, and they will be as many as they once were.
9 Amih te pilnam taengah ka phul sitoe cakhaw, khohla bangsang ah kai m'poek uh ni. A ca rhoek neh hing uh vetih mael uh ni.
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 Amih Egypt kho lamloh ka mael puei vetih, Assyria lamloh ka coi ni. Te vaengah Gilead neh Lebanon kho la ka khuen ni. Tedae amih ham te cung mahpawh.
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 Citcai tuili ah kat vetih, tuitunli kah tuiphu te a boh ni. Sokko laedil boeih kak vetih, Assyria kah hoemdamnah khaw tla ni. Egypt kah caitueng khaw nong ni.
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 Amih tah BOEIPA dongah ka len sak vetih, a ming neh pongpa uh ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
I will make them strong in the Lord, they will walk in his name, says the Lord.
