Zechariah 4
1 Hijou chun kakihoupi Vantil chu ahung kile kitin a-ihmu bangin eihin sukhangin ahi.
And the angel who was talking to me came again, awaking me as a man out of his sleep.
2 Tuahi ipi namum tin eidong in ahi, keiman ka donbut nin, sanna ngenna kisem thaomei tunna achunga thaotwi khonkhat akitun kamui kati. Hiche khon vella chun thaomei sagi aum in khat cheh chun avahna patjang khat neicheh ahom sagi aummin ahi.
And he said to me, What do you see? And I said, I see a light-support, made all of gold, with its cup on the top of it and seven lights on it; and there are seven pipes to every one of the lights which are on the top of it;
3 Chuleh keiman hiche khon langte achun Olive thing ni kamun ahi.
And two olive-trees by it, one on the right side of the cup and one on the left.
4 Hijou chun keiman Vantil chu ka dong in Pakai hiche hohi ipi tina ham? katin ahileh,
And I made answer and said to the angel who was talking to me, What are these, my lord?
5 Vantil chun na hetlou ham tin eidong in ahileh keiman ka hepoi ka Pakai katin ahi.
Then the angel who was talking to me, answering me, said, Have you no knowledge of what these are? And I said, No, my lord.
6 Hijou chun aman ei seipeh in, “Hiche hi Pakaiyin Zerubbabel komma asei chu ahi, hunamma natoh naleh thahat vanga hilou ding amavang keima Lhagao vanga hiding ahibouve, tin thaneipen Pakaiyin aseijin ahi.
This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by force or by power, but by my spirit, says the Lord of armies.
7 Imachan nang jou lou ding, mol sangpen jeng in jong Zerubbabel lampi chu asuh tang jou lou ding ama masanga chu phaicham sohjeng ding ahi. Zerubbabel hin houin semphatna a achaina song asettoh phattengleh, mipihon Pathen in phattheiboh hen, Pathen in phattheiboh hen!” tia asapdiu ahi.
Who are you, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel you will become level: and he will let all see the headstone, with cries of Grace, grace, to it.
8 Hijeh chun Pakaija kon nin thupeh chomkhat ahung lhung kit-in,
Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
9 Zerubbabal hi Hou-in aleibul ana tungdoh a chu ahin, aman asahchai ding ahi. Hiteng chuleh hatchungnung Pakai chun eihin sol ahi ti na het diu ahi.
The hands of Zerubbabel have put the base of this house in place, and his hands will make it complete; and it will be clear to you that the Lord of armies has sent me to you.
10 Natoh ahina ding banga amachal lou jeh in alungthoi’un ahi, ahinla Zerubbabel hin houin asah chu atoh jom amuteng uleh kipah tauvinte. Thaomei sagi kiti hin Pakai mit-in vannoi leiset pumpi akholsoh vetsahna ahi.
For who has had a poor opinion of the day of small things? for they will be glad when they see the weighted measuring-line in the hand of Zerubbabel. Then he said in answer to me, These seven lights are the eyes of the Lord which go quickly up and down through all the earth.
11 Hijou chun keiman vantil chu ka dong in, hiche thaomei khom pang tenia Olive thingphung nihi ipi tina hintem,
And I made answer and said to him, What are these two olive-trees on the right side of the light-support and on the left?
12 Thaotwi kisun lhah naji sana luong teni komma Olive thingbah teni khun ipi asatsat hin tem? kati.
And answering a second time, I said to him, What are these two olive branches, through whose gold pipes the oil is drained out?
13 Aman eidong in na hetlou ham eiti. Keiman ka donbut in ka hepoi Pakai kati.
And he said in answer to me, Have you no knowledge what these are? And I said, No, my lord.
14 Hichun aman, “Hiche hin thao kinusa leiset pumpi Pakai laltouna komma ding jing van mi teni chu avetsah ahi”ati.
And he said, These are the two sons of oil, whose place is by the Lord of all the earth.
