< 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.
Then I turned and lifted my eyes and I saw four chariots coming out from between two mountains; and the two mountains were made of bronze.
2 Lamhma kah leng dongah marhang rhoek tah ling tih leng pabae dongah marhang rhoek tah muem.
The first chariot had red horses, the second chariot had black horses,
3 Leng a pathum dongah marhang rhoek tah bok tih leng a pali dongah marhang rhoek tah dikdek la lingduk.
the third chariot had white horses, and the fourth chariot had spotted gray horses.
4 Te dongah kai taengah aka cal puencawn te ka voek tih, “Ka boeipa aw, he rhoek balae?” ka ti nah.
So I answered and said to the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my master?”
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.
The angel answered and said to me, “These are the four winds of heaven that go out from the place where they were standing 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.
The one with the black horses is going out to the north country; the white horses are going out to the west country; and the spotted gray horses are going out to the south country.”
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.
These strong horses went out and sought to go and roam over the earth, so the angel said, “Go and roam over the earth!” and they left for all 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.
Then he called out to me and spoke to me and said, “Look at the ones that are going out to the north country; they will appease my spirit concerning the north country.”
9 BOEIPA ol te kai taengla pai tih,
So the word of Yahweh 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 an offering from the exiles—from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah—and go this same day and take it into the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah, who has come from Babylon.
11 Sui neh cak te lo lamtah rhuisam saii laeh. Te phoeiah khosoih puei Jehozadak capa Joshua lu ah khuem sak.
Then take the silver and gold, make a crown and set it upon the head of Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest.
12 Te phoeiah anih taengah te thui pah lamtah, ‘Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui, “Hlang he a ming thingdawn” ti nah.’ “‘A hmui lamloh poe vetih BOEIPA bawkim te a sak ni.
Speak to him and say, 'Yahweh of hosts says this: This man, his name is Branch! He will grow up where he is and will then build the temple of Yahweh!
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.
It is he who builds the temple of Yahweh, and he will be clothed with royal splendor, and will sit and rule on his throne. He will be a priest on his throne, and he will bear a counsel of peace between the two.
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.
The crown will given to Heldai, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and for Hen son of Zephaniah as a memorial in the temple of Yahweh.
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.
Then those who are far off will come and build the temple of Yahweh, so you will know that Yahweh of hosts has sent me to you; for this will happen if you truly listen to the voice of Yahweh your God!'”
