Zechariah 11

1 Vo Lebanon nakot jouse honglen in chuleh na Cedar thing jouse mei kahlhahsah tan,

Open your doors, O Libanus, and let the fire devour your cedars.

2 Vo chahthingho, Cedar thing alhuhgam jeh in kapmin ajeh chu thing thupitah tahho alhu gam tauve. Kap uvin Bashan gangpi phungho ajeh chu gammang thingphung bitchah ho akisa tlha gam tai.

Let the pine howl, because the cedar has fallen; for the mighty men have been greatly afflicted: howl, you oaks of the land of Basan; for the thickly planted forest has been torn down.

3 Kelngoi chingho kale penkhu ngaijun, ajehchu agam phalai chengseu akisumang gamtai. Keipinou ho ham ngaijun, ajehchu Jordan phaicham thing jouse agam hel tai.

[There is] a voice of the shepherds mourning; for their greatness is brought low: a voice of roaring lions; for the pride of Jordan is brought down.

4 Pakai Pathen in hitin aseije: “cheuvin, thadinga kigong gancha hokhu gaching tan.

Thus says the Lord Almighty, Feed the sheep of the slaughter;

5 Achohon khohsahlou hellin kelngoite athat gamtauve. Ajoh hochun Pathen thangvah in umhen, ajeh chu keihi ka haotave kelngoiching ho jeng in jong khotona anei pouve.

which their possessors have slain, and have not repented: and they that sold them said, Blessed be the Lord; for we have become rich: and their shepherds have suffered no sorrow for them.

6 Hitobanga chu kenjong agamsunga chengho chunga khotona kaneilouding ahi tin Pakaiyin aseije. Ahinla keiman amahochu aheng akomteu le alengteu khutna kapehdoh ding, amahon agam uchu asuhgam diu, ahinla keiman kahuhdoh loudiu ahi.

Therefore I will no longer have mercy upon the inhabitants of the land, says the Lord: but, behold, I will deliver up the men every one into the hand of his neighbour, and into the hand of his king; and they shall destroy the land, and I will not rescue out of their hand.

7 Chuteng keiman thadinga kigong suhgentheija um ganchaho chu ka vesuijin ahi. Hijouchun kelngoi chingho mol chu ni kachoijin, khatchu ngailutna ahin, khatchu kipumkhatna ahi.

And I will tend the flock of slaughter in the land of Chanaan: and I will take for myself two rods; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Line; and I will tend the flock.

8 Keiman kelngoi ching miphalou thumchu lhakhat sung in ka sumang in ahi. Keima hiche kelngoi chinhi ka chim tan chuleh amaho jong achim tauvin ahi.

And I will cut off three shepherds in one month; and my soul shall grieve over them, for their souls cried out against me.

9 Hijeh chun keiman kasei jin, keima nangho kelngoiching hita ponge, na thiule thitauvin, min nathau jongleh nathat tauvinte chule ahing nalai hochu khat le khat kithat to jing un katin ahi.

And I said, I will not tend you: that which dies, let it die; and that which falls off, let it fall off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of his neighbour.

10 Hichun Keiman ngailut kiti ka mol pachu kalan bohni kason hichun keiman chitin namtoh kinoptona kana sem chu kasuhbei ahitai ti vetsahna a kabol ahi.

And I will take my beautiful staff, and cast it away, that I may break my covenant which I made with all the people.

11 Hichu amaho toh kikinoptona achaina ahitai. Gancha hon lengvai hochun keima eive uvin, hichehi Pakaiyin anatoh a thu asei ahitai etiuve.

And it shall be broken in that day; and the Chananites, the sheep that are kept for me, shall know that it is the word of the Lord.

12 Hichun keiman akom uva kaseijin, na deijun nalung lhaina’u ahileh kathaman neipeuvin nalungu ahilouleh haijun kati. Hichun amahon katahman ding in dangka somthum eipeuve.

And I will say to them, If it be good in your eyes, give [me] my price, or refuse it. And they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.

13 Pakaiyin kakom ah hitin aseije. Hiche sum thupitah keima mankham bep dinga eikipe chu Pakai houin sum kholna-a chun lehluttan eiti. Hichun keiman jong dangka somthum chu kalan Pakai houin sumkholna munna chun kalehluttan ahi.

And the Lord said to me, Drop them into the furnace, and I will see if it is good [metal], as I was proved for their sakes. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them into the furnace in the house of the Lord.

14 Chujouvin kamol khatpa kipumkhatna chu kalan bohni kason Judah leh Israel kipumkhatna chu akehtai ti kavetsahna ahitai.

And I cast away [my] second rod, [even] Line, that I might break the possession between Juda and Israel.

15 Hichun Pakaiyin ka komma hitin aseije: “chenlang kelngoi ching phachom lou pan mun khu galo tan eiti.

And the Lord said to me, Take yet to you shepherd's implements belonging to an unskillful shepherd.

16 Hiche hin avetsah chu keiman hiche nammite hi akelngoi teu athi amang umjongleh khohsahlou anousenho jong ka simlou adamlou jong jen nom lou adamthei hojong vah nomlou kelngoi ching phachomlou khat kapeh diu ahi” ati. Chuche tai louvin jong hiche kelngoi chingpa chun akelngoi thaopen pen hochu atin teni kikah geija abottel a anehjeng ding ahi.

For, behold, I [will] raise up a shepherd against the land: he shall not visit that which is perishing, and he shall not seek that which is scattered, and he shall not heal that which is bruised, nor guide that which is whole: but he shall devour the flesh of the choice [ones], and shall dislocate the joints [of their necks].

17 Ohe! Kelngoi ching phachom lou ho, kelngoi hon dalhaho! Chemjamin abanjang asat tanpeh ding chuleh amitchang jetlang kikheudoh pehding, abangjong chu pannabei hiding, ajetlang mitchu chodel jeng ding ahi.

Alas for the vain shepherds that have forsaken the sheep! the sword [shall be] upon the arms of such a one, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be completely withered, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.
