Zekhariah 13

1 Tholhnah dongah khaw pumom dongah khaw, te khohnin a pha vaengah tah David imkhui ham neh Jerusalem khosa rhoek ham thunsih phuet ni.

In that day, there shall be an opened fountain, for the house of David, and for the Inhabitants of Jerusalem, —for sin and for uncleanness.

2 He tah caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Te khohnin a pha vaengah ah. Muei ming he khohmuen lamloh ka hnawt vetih poek uh voel mahpawh. A tihnai kah tonghma rhoek neh mueihla te khaw khohmuen lamloh ka khum sak ni.

And it shall come to pass, in that day, declareth Yahweh of hosts, That I will cut off the names of idols out of the land, and they shall not be remembered any more, —Moreover also, even the prophets and the spirit of impurity, will I cause to pass away out of the land.

3 Tedae hlang te tonghma pueng khaming. Te vaengah anih aka cun a manu neh a napa loh anih te, “YAHWEH ming neh laithae na thui dongah hing palueng boeh,” a ti nah ni. A tonghma vaengah anih aka cun a manu neh a napa loh anih a thun ni.

So shall it come about that, when any man shall prophesy again, then will his own father and his own mother, of whom he was born, say unto him, —Thou shalt not live! For falsehood hast thou spoken in the name of Yahweh, —So will his own father and his own mother of whom he was born, pierce him through, when he prophesieth,

4 Te khohnin a pha vaengah tah tonghma rhoek te yak uh ni. Hlang he a olphong neh a tonghma ah khaw a basa nah ham ngaih ah maeh mul himbai bai uh mahpawh.

Yea it shall come to pass, in that day, that the prophets, will turn pale, every man by reason of his vision when he prophesieth, —neither will they put on a mantle of hair to deceive.

5 Te vaengah, “Ka tonghma moenih, hlang loh kai he ka camoe ah n'lai dongah kai tah lo tawn hlang ni,” a ti ni.

But he will say, No prophet, am I, —One tilling the ground, am I, for, one of the common people, hath owned me from my youth.

6 Anih te, “Na kut laklo kah hmasoe he ta?” a ti nah vaengah, “Ka lungnah im kah n'ngawn la he,” a ti ni.

Then will one say unto him, What are these wounds between thy hands? And he will say, Wherewith I was wounded in the house of them who loved me.

7 Cunghang aw kai kah boiva aka dawn taeng neh ka imben hlang pakhat taengah khaw haenghang laeh. He tah caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Boiva aka dawn te ngawn lamtah boiva te a taek a yak uh ni. Aka muei rhoek taengah kut ka thuung ni.

O Sword! awake against my shepherd, even against the man that is my companion, urgeth Yahweh of hosts, —Smite the shepherd, and let the flock, be scattered, Howbeit I will turn back my hand over the little ones.

8 He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Diklai pum ah he he om ni. A khuikah hlop nit tah saii uh vetih pal uh ni. Te vaengah a khui kah hlop thum ah hlop khat te sueng ni.

And it shall come to pass, in all the land, declareth Yahweh, Two-thirds therein, shall be cut off, and expire, —but, a third, shall be left therein;

9 Hlop thum hlop at te hmai khuiah ka khuen vetih cak a cil bangla amih te ka cil ni. Sui a noemcai bangla amih te ka noemcai ni. Anih loh kai ming te a khue uh vaengah kai loh anih te ka doo ni. Anih te ka pilnam ka ti vetih anih long khaw kai kah Pathen YAHWEH a ti ni.

And I will bring the third into the fire, and will smelt them as one smelteth silver, and will try them, as one trieth gold, —It, will call upon my name, and, I, will answer it, and will say, My people, it is! and, it, will say, Yahweh, is my God!
