< Zekhariah 13 >

1 Tholhnah dongah khaw pumom dongah khaw, te khohnin a pha vaengah tah David imkhui ham neh Jerusalem khosa rhoek ham thunsih phuet ni.
On that day shall there be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for cleansing from sin and for purification.
2 He tah caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Te khohnin a pha vaengah ah. Muei ming he khohmuen lamloh ka hnawt vetih poek uh voel mahpawh. A tihnai kah tonghma rhoek neh mueihla te khaw khohmuen lamloh ka khum sak ni.
And it shall come to pass on that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall not be remembered any more: and also the prophets and the unclean spirit will I remove out of the land.
3 Tedae hlang te tonghma pueng khaming. Te vaengah anih aka cun a manu neh a napa loh anih te, “Yahweh ming neh laithae na thui dongah hing palueng boeh,” a ti nah ni. A tonghma vaengah anih aka cun a manu neh a napa loh anih a thun ni.
And it shall come to pass, if any one should yet prophesy, that his father and his mother who have begotten him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for falsely hast thou spoken in the name of the Lord: and his father and his mother who have begotten him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.
4 Te khohnin a pha vaengah tah tonghma rhoek te yak uh ni. Hlang he a olphong neh a tonghma ah khaw a basa nah ham ngaih ah maeh mul himbai bai uh mahpawh.
And it shall come to pass on that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one because of his vision, when he prophesieth; and they shall not clothe themselves with a hairy cloak in order to deceive.
5 Te vaengah, “Ka tonghma moenih, hlang loh kai he ka camoe ah n'lai dongah kai tah lo tawn hlang ni,” a ti ni.
But he will say, I am no prophet, a man that tilleth the ground am I; for some one hath taught me to keep cattle from my youth.
6 Anih te, “Na kut laklo kah hmasoe he ta?” a ti nah vaengah, “Ka lungnah im kah n'ngawn la he,” a ti ni.
And should some one say unto him, What are these wounds between thy hands? Then will he say, Those with which I have been wounded in the house of my [vicious] friends.
7 Cunghang aw kai kah boiva aka dawn taeng neh ka imben hlang pakhat taengah khaw haenghang laeh. He tah caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Boiva aka dawn te ngawn lamtah boiva te a taek a yak uh ni. Aka muei rhoek taengah kut ka thuung ni.
Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man whom I have associated with me, saith the Lord of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered; but I will turn my hand toward the feeble ones.
8 He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Diklai pum ah he he om ni. A khuikah hlop nit tah saii uh vetih pal uh ni. Te vaengah a khui kah hlop thum ah hlop khat te sueng ni.
And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts [of those] therein shall be cut off, shall perish; but the third part shall be left therein.
9 Hlop thum hlop at te hmai khuiah ka khuen vetih cak a cil bangla amih te ka cil ni. Sui a noemcai bangla amih te ka noemcai ni. Anih loh kai ming te a khue uh vaengah kai loh anih te ka doo ni. Anih te ka pilnam ka ti vetih anih long khaw kai kah Pathen Yahweh a ti ni.
And I will bring the third part into the fire, and I will refine them as one refineth silver, and will probe them as gold is probed: they will call on my name, and I will answer their prayer; I will say, They arc my people; and they will say, The Lord is my God.
