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 looked again and I 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 him. “I'm going to Jerusalem to measure its width and length,” he replied.

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

The angel I was talking to came forward and another angel came 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 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 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.

The Lord declares, I myself will be a wall of fire all around the city, and I will be the glory inside 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.

Run! Run! Run away from the northern land, says the Lord, because I have scattered you to the four winds of heaven.

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

Run away, people of Zion! All of you who live in Babylon must escape.

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 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 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 raise my hand against them and their former slaves will plunder them. Then you will know the Lord Almighty 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.

Sing in celebration, people of Zion, for I am coming to live with 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.

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

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

Be silent before the Lord, everyone, for he has risen from the holy place where he lives.
