Zechariah 13
1 Hiche nikhoteng chuleh David insung mite dingleh Jerusalem mipite ding in twinah khat kihongdoh intin, hiche twinah chun achonset nau leh athem lounaova konna asoptheng diu ahi
At that time [it will be as though] [MET] there will be a fountain from which water flows continually to cleanse the descendants [MTY] of [King] David and [all] the [other] people in Jerusalem from the guilt of the sins that they have committed, [especially] from becoming unacceptable to me [by worshiping idols].
2 Hiche nikho chuleh nahouvu semthu Pathen hohi amin-u kisan ana suhmil sohhel theina diuva gamsung pumpia semthu Pathen hojouse hi kasuh mang sohkei ding ahi. Chuleh lhangao boh vop themgao lhemho jong hiche gamma konna kadel doh ding ahi, tin hatchungnung Pakaiyin aseije.
The Commander of the armies of angels says, “At that time, I will prevent [people from even mentioning] the names of the idols in their country, and no one will remember them any more. I will also expel from the land all the people who falsely claim that they are prophets [DOU].
3 Koitabang hamkhatnin gaothusei chu ajomma ahileh ahinga anu apa tahin nangin Pakai minna jouthu naseidoh jeh'in nathi teitei ding ahi tia aseipeh ding chuleh hitia chu asei teitei leh ahinga anule apa tah in chemma asutlih ding ahi.
If someone continues to prophesy [falsely], his parents must say to him, ‘You have told lies saying that Yahweh [MTY] gave those messages to you, so you must be executed.’ [So] if someone prophesies [like that], his own father and mother must stab him [and kill him].
4 Hiteng chuleh themgao ho jousen gao thudihlou asei uchu jachat piuvin tin, themgao vonjong vonngam tapouvintin, themgao tiajong kisei ngamta pouvinte.
At that time, the false prophets will be ashamed [that they claimed to have received messages from me in] their visions and prophesies [that they told to people]. They will no [longer] deceive people by wearing the clothes [that prophets usually wear], clothes made of [animals’] hair.
5 Chujongleh keima themgao kahipoi, loubolmi kahibouve kaneo a patna lou hinlhou kahi bouve atidiu ahi.
[So] each of them will say, ‘I am not [really] a prophet; I am a farmer, and I have been a farmer on my land ever since I was a boy!’
6 Khat touvin ahileh naop achu ipi maha baham atiuleh aman kagol kapaiho in na eimavonau ahi atiding ahi.
But someone, [seeing the wounds on one of those prophet’s bodies, will suspect that he injured himself during rituals to worship idols, and he] will ask ‘Why are those wounds on your body?’ And he [will lie, saying] ‘I was injured [when I was] at my friend’s house.’”
7 “Thoudoh in Vo Chemjam kakelngoi chingpa leh katohkhom pipa douna ding in tin hatchungnungpen Pakaiyin aseije. Kelngoi chingpa chu sat lhun, akelngoi hochu jam cheh nauvinte chuteng keiman kelngoiho chunga kakhutlam nange ati.
The Commander of the armies of angels says, “[My] sword [APO] must strike [the one who is like] [MET] my shepherd, the man who is (my companion/very (close/dear) to me). When the shepherd is killed, [those who are like] [MET] his sheep will scatter. [And those who are like] [MET] my little sheep will [also] be attacked [IDM].”
8 Hitichun gamsunga mipate chu hopthuma hopni kithat gam ding hopkhat chu gamsung a hi kidalhadiu ahi tin Pakaiyin aseije.
Yahweh [also] says, “Two-thirds [of the people in Judah] will die [DOU]. [Only] one-third [of the people in Judah] will remain alive.
9 Keiman hicheng chu meilah a kon in puidoh ingting kasuhtheng ding ahi. keiman dangka bangin sutheng in ting sana banga kalhit theng ding ahi. Amahon kaminna eihin koudiu chujong leh ka hou ding ahi. Keiman amahohi kamite ahi kati ding ahin amahon Amahi Pakai le ka Pathen ahi atidiu ahi” ati.
And I will test the ones that remain alive [by causing them to experience great difficulties, to find out if they will continue to worship me]. I will purify them like [MET] a man purifies gold or silver by putting it into a [very hot] fire. [Then] my people will call to me [MTY] [for help], and I will answer them. I will say [to them], ‘You are my people,’ and they will say, ‘Yahweh is our God.’”
