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 up 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.
I said, “Where are you going?” He replied, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its breadth 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 messenger who talked with me stepped forward, and another messenger went 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 to that young man that Jerusalem will be inhabited like a village without walls, because so many people and cattle will live there.
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, says the Lord, will be a wall of fire around her, and I will be the glory in the midst of her.
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.
Up! Away! Flee from the land of the north, says the Lord. For I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, says the Lord.
7 Anunae, Zion, Babylon tanu khosa te poenghal laeh.
Up, escape to Zion, you who live in 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.
This is what the Lord of hosts says to the nations which plundered you: Whoever touches you touches the apple of my 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. They will be plunder for their own slaves; and 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.
“Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion! I am coming, I will live among you, says 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 join themselves to the Lord in that day, and will be his people, and he will live among you. You will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you.
12 Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Judah te hmuencim khohmuen ah a khoyo a pang sak vetih Jerusalem te koep a coelh ni.
The Lord will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land. He will again choose Jerusalem.
13 Pumsa boeih he BOEIPA mikhmuh ah saah lah hoeih, a hmuencim kah khuirhung lamloh haenghang coeng.
Be silent, everyone, in the presence of the Lord, because he is coming from his holy dwelling.”
