< Zechariah 2 >

1 Keiman kavet kitleh, pasal khat in thiltena molkhat akichoi kamui
I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and look, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2 Hiti chun keiman hoilanga che ding nahim tin ka dong in ahileh aman, “Keima hin Jerusalem hi adung avai itiham tetoh dinga hunga kahi” ati.
Then I asked, "Where are you going?" He said to me, "To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its breadth and what is its length."
3 Hiche jou chun keiman ka komma um vantil chu ama komma hung vantil chu kimupi ding in achen ahi.
Look, the angel who talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
4 Vantil khatpa chun aseiye, hungloijin lang hiche gollhangpa komma chun seijin, Jerusalem hi phatkhat leh mipi leh ganchaho hung dimset diu ahindol loudiu ahi, hitia chu mipi tamtah khopi polanga hung cheng diu ahi.
and said to him, "Run, speak to this young man, saying, 'Jerusalem will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it.
5 Chu teng keima tah in Jerusalem kimvel chu meikong palla ka kolkhum ding ahi tin Pakaiyin aseiye. Chuleh keiman khopi sung chu kaloupina kahi sah ding ahi,” ati.
For I,' says Jehovah, 'will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the midst of her.
6 Pakijin aseiye,” Babylon sahlanga konin hung jamdoh un, nanghohi leiset kol ning lia konna thecheh na hiuve.
Come. Come. Flee from the land of the north,' says Jehovah; 'for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky,' says Jehovah.
7 Zion mipite hungpot doh uvin, nangho Babylon gamma ana jam lut ho!”
'Come, Zion. Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.'
8 Loupi Pathen hatchung nung Pakai chun nangho nachom gamma namite chu doudinga eihinsol ahi, nangho nabolse hochun kei eibolset a kalah ahi. Keiman kakhut hinlam ingting amaho chu kasuhchip ding chuteng asoh houvin amaho achomdiu ahi. Chuteng leh hat chungnung Pakaiyin eihin sol ahi ahet diu ahi tin,
For thus says Jehovah of hosts: 'For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of my eye.
9 Pakaiyin aseiye, Vo khopi hoitah Jerusalem kipah tahin kho asam un, ajeh chu nangho lah a cheng dinga kahung ding ahi.
For, look, I will shake my hand over them, and they will be a spoil to those who served them; and you will know that Jehovah of hosts has sent me.
10 Hiche nikho teng chuleh namtamtah in Pakai keima eihin jop diu chuleh amaho chu kamite hidiu ahi. Keima nangho lah a kachen ding chu teng leh hat chungnung Pakaiyin Keima nangho komma eihinsol hi nahetdingu ahi.
Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion; for, look, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of you,' says Jehovah.
11 Gamthenga chu Judah gamchu Pakaiyin Ama gam tumbeh a dinga alahkut ding chu leh Jerusalem chu amatah in akhopi dinga alhen kit ding ahi.
Many nations shall join themselves to Jehovah in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell in the midst of you, and you shall know that Jehovah of hosts has sent me to you.
Jehovah will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.
13 Pakai angsunga mihem jouse thipbeh chan umhen ajeh chu Amachu amunthenga konna hung kipat doh ding ahitai.
Be silent, all flesh, before Jehovah; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation."
