Zekhariah 2

1 Ka mik ka huel tih ka sawt vaengah hlang pakhat te a kut dongkah cungnueh rhui neh tarha ana om.

Then I lifted up my eyes and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand.

2 Te phoeiah, “Melam na caeh?” ka ti nah. Te dongah kai te, “Jerusalem he nueh ham, a daang meyet, a yun meyet khaw hmuh hamla,” a ti.

“Where are you going?” I asked. “To measure Jerusalem,” he replied, “and to determine its width and length.”

3 Te vaengah kai taengah aka cal puencawn te tarha ha nong tih anih aka doe la puencawn a tloe ha pawk.

Then the angel who was speaking with me went out, and another angel came out to meet him

4 Te phoeiah anih te, “Yong laeh, camoe te thui pah. Hlang neh a khui kah rhamsa te cungkuem coeng tih, Jerusalem te vongah om ni, 'ti nah.

and said to him, “Run and tell that young man: ‘Jerusalem will be a city without walls because of the multitude of men and livestock within it.

5 He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. A taengah ka om puei ni. A kaepvai kah hmai vongtung neh a khui ah thangpomnah la ka om ni.

For I will be a wall of fire around it, declares the LORD, and I will be the glory within it.’”

6 Anunae, anunae, tlangpuei khohmuen lamloh rhaelrham laeh. BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni. Vaan khohli pali bangla nangmih te kan yaal coeng. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.

“Get up! Get up! Flee from the land of the north,” declares the LORD, “for I have scattered you like the four winds of heaven,” declares the LORD.

7 Anunae, Zion, Babylon tanu khosa te poenghal laeh.

“Get up, O Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the Daughter of Babylon!”

8 Te dongah caempuei BOEIPA loh a thui coeng. Thangpomnah hnukah kai loh nangmih aka buem namtom taengla a tueih. Nangmih aka puei loh a mik dongkah mikmu te a puei pah.

For this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “After His Glory has sent Me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of His eye—

9 Kai khaw amih taengah ka kut ka thueng ngawn coeng he. Te dongah a sal rhoek ham kutbuem la om uh ni. Te vaengah caempuei BOEIPA loh kai n'tueih te na ming uh bitni.

I will surely wave My hand over them, so that they will become plunder for their own servants. Then you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me.”

10 Zion nu, tamhoe lamtah kohoe sak. Ka lo coeng tih na khui ah kho ka sak ni he. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.

“Shout for joy and be glad, O Daughter of Zion, for I am coming to dwell among you,” declares the LORD.

11 Te khohnin ah tah namtom rhoek te BOEIPA taengla muep naep uh ni. Kamah taengah pilnam la om uh vetih na khui ah kho ka sak ni. Te vaengah caempuei BOEIPA loh nang taengla kai n'tueih te na ming bitni.

“On that day many nations will join themselves to the LORD, and they will become My people. I will dwell among you, and you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me to you.

12 Te vaengah BOEIPA lohJudah te hmuencim khohmuen ah a khoyo a pang sak vetih Jerusalem te koep a coelh ni.

And the LORD will take possession of Judah as His portion in the Holy Land, and He will once again choose Jerusalem.

13 Pumsa boeih he BOEIPA mikhmuh ah saah lah hoeih, a hmuencim kah khuirhung lamloh haenghang coeng.

Be silent before the LORD, all people, for He has roused Himself from His holy dwelling.”
