Zechariah 2
1 Keiman kavet kitleh, pasal khat in thiltena molkhat akichoi kamui
Then I looked up and saw 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.
I said, ‘Where are you going?’ He replied, ‘To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its breadth and length.’
3 Hiche jou chun keiman ka komma um vantil chu ama komma hung vantil chu kimupi ding in achen ahi.
Then the messenger who talked with me stepped forward, and another messenger 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 and tell to that young man that Jerusalem will be inhabited like a village without walls, because so many people and cattle will live there.
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 the Lord, will be a wall of fire her, 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.
Up! Away! Flee from the land of the north, says the Lord. For I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, says the Lord.
7 Zion mipite hungpot doh uvin, nangho Babylon gamma ana jam lut ho!”
Up, escape to Zion, you who live in 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,
This is what the Lord of hosts says to the nations which plundered you: Whoever 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.
I will raise my hand against them. They will be plunder for their own slaves; and you will know that the Lord 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! I am coming, I will live among you, says the Lord.
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 will join themselves to the Lord in that day, and will be his people, and he will live among you. You will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you.
The Lord will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land. He will again choose Jerusalem.
13 Pakai angsunga mihem jouse thipbeh chan umhen ajeh chu Amachu amunthenga konna hung kipat doh ding ahitai.
Be silent, everyone, in the presence of the Lord, because he is coming from his holy dwelling.’
