< Zekhariah 6 >
1 Ka mael tih ka mik ka huel tih ka sawt. Te vaengah rhohum tlang kah tlang neh tlang rhoi laklo lamloh leng pali tarha ha thoeng.
And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, four chariots coming out from between two mountains; and the mountains were brazen mountains.
2 Lamhma kah leng dongah marhang rhoek tah ling tih leng pabae dongah marhang rhoek tah muem.
In the first chariot [were] red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
3 Leng a pathum dongah marhang rhoek tah bok tih leng a pali dongah marhang rhoek tah dikdek la lingduk.
and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot piebald [and] ash-coloured horses.
4 Te dongah kai taengah aka cal puencawn te ka voek tih, “Ka boeipa aw, he rhoek balae?,” ka ti nah.
And I answered and said to the angel that talked with me, What are these, my Lord?
5 Te dongah puencawn loh n'doo tih kai taengah, “He tah diklai pum boeipa taengah aka pai lamloh aka thoeng vaan mueihla pali ni.
And the angel that talked with me answered and said, These are the four winds of heaven, [and] they are going forth to stand before the Lord of all the earth.
6 Marhang muem rhoek he tah tlangpuei kho la aka cet ham tih, a bok rhoek he a hnuk la a khuen ham, dikdek rhoek he tah tuithim khohmuen la aka cet ham ni,” a ti.
[As for the chariot] in which were the black horses, they went out to the land of the north; and the white went out after them; and the piebald went out to the land of the south.
7 Te vaengah a lingduk rhoek te coe uh tih diklai ah caeh ham neh pongpa hamla la cai uh. Te dongah, “Diklai ah cet khaw cet uh laeh,” a ti nah tih diklai ah pongpa uh.
And the ash-coloured went out, and looked to go and compass the earth: and he said, Go, and compass the earth. And they compassed the earth.
8 Te phoeiah kai te n'khue tih kai hamla han thui. Te vaengah, “Tlangpuei khohmuen la aka cet rhoek ke so lah, ka mueihla he tlangpuei khohmuen ah duem coeng,” a ti.
And he cried out and spoke to me, saying, Behold, these go out to the land of the north, and they have quieted mine anger in the land of the north.
9 BOEIPA ol te kai taengla pai tih,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
10 “Vangsawn taeng lamkah, Heldai lamkah neh Tobiah taeng lamkah khaw, Jedaiah taeng lamkah khaw khuen laeh. Amah hnin ah namah cet laeh. Babylon lamkah aka pai Zephaniah capa Josiah im te paan laeh,” a ti.
Take the things of the captivity from the chief men, and from the useful men of it, and from them that have understood it; and thou shalt enter in that day into the house of Josias the son of Sophonias that came out of Babylon.
11 Sui neh cak te lo lamtah rhuisam saii laeh. Te phoeiah khosoih puei Jehozadak capa Joshua lu ah khuem sak.
And thou shalt take silver and gold, and make crowns, and thou shalt put [them] upon the head of Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest;
12 Te phoeiah anih taengah te thui pah lamtah, “Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui ti nah. Hlang he a ming thingdawn ti nah. A hmui lamloh poe vetih BOEIPA bawkim te a sak ni.
and thou shalt say to him, Thus saith the Lord Almighty; Behold the man whose name is The Branch; and he shall spring up from his stem, and build the house of the Lord.
13 Amah loh BOEIPA bawkim te a sak ni. Anih te mueithennah a phueih ni. A ngolkhoel dongah ngol vetih a taemrhai ni. A ngolkhoel dongah khosoih la om vetih amih rhoi laklo ah rhoepnah cilsuep om ni.
And he shall receive power, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and there shall be a priest on his right hand, and a peaceable counsel shall be between [them] both.
14 Te vaengah rhuisam te Helen taeng neh Tobiah taengah khaw, Jedaiah taeng neh Zephaniah capa Khen taengah khaw BOEIPA bawkim ah poekkoepnah la om ni.
And the crown shall be to them that wait patiently, and to the useful men of the captivity, and to them that have known it, and for the favour of the son of Sophonias, and for a psalm in the house of the Lord.
15 Khohla rhoek khaw ha pai uh vetih BOEIPA bawkim te a sak uh ni. Te vaengah caempuei BOEIPA loh nangmih taengla kai n'tueih te na ming uh bitni. Na Pathen BOEIPA ol te na hnatun la na hnatun uh atah thoeng bitni,’ ti nah,” a ti.
And they [that are] far from them shall come and build in the house of the Lord, and ye shall know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you: and [this] shall come to pass, if ye will diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord your God.
