< 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 my eyes, and looked, and behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains [were] mountains of brass.
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 grizzled and bay horses.
4 Te dongah kai taengah aka cal puencawn te ka voek tih, “Ka boeipa aw, he rhoek balae?,” ka ti nah.
Then 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 answered and said to me, These [are] the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from 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 black horses which [are] therein go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grizzled go forth towards 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.
And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Go hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through 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 cried upon me, and spoke to me, saying, Behold, these that go towards the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.
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 of [them of] the captivity, [even] of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, who are come from Babylon, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah;
11 Sui neh cak te lo lamtah rhuisam saii laeh. Te phoeiah khosoih puei Jehozadak capa Joshua lu ah khuem sak.
Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set [them] upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, 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 speak to him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name [is] The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple 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.
Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne: and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace 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 crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple 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 off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me to you. And [this] shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.
