< Zechariah 6 >

1 Hijou chun keiman chunglang kaven ahileh sakol kangtalai li sumang molsang teni kikah a kon in ahung doh in ahi.
And once again I lifted mine eyes, and looked, and lo! four chariots, coming forward from between two mountains, —now, the mountains, were mountains of copper.
2 Sakol kangtalai masa chu sakol san in ahin kaijin, ani channa chu sakol vommin ahin kaijin ahi.
In the first chariot, were red horses, —and, in the second chariot, black horses;
3 Athum channa chu sakol kangin ahinkai jin, ali channa chu sakolpol hattah ahiuve.
and, in the third chariot, white horses, —and, in the fourth chariot, horses spotted, deep red.
4 Vantil eihoulimpi pachu ka dong in, Pakai hiche khopi hi ipi hitam ka tileh,
Then began I, and said, unto the messenger who was speaking with me, —What are these, my lord?
5 Vantil chun eidonbut in, “Hiche hohi leiset pumpi Pakai masanga ding lhagao li hochu ahiuve ati. Amahohi anatong dinga hung potdoh ahiuve.
And the messenger answered, and said unto me, —These, are the four winds of the heavens, coming forward after each hath presented itself near the Lord of all the earth.
6 Sakol vommin akaihi sahlanga che ding, akang in akai hi lhumlama che ding chu leh apollin akaihi lhanglanga che ding ahi.
They in whose chariot are the black horses, are going forth into the land of the North, and, the white, have gone forth after them, —and, the spotted, have gone forth into the land of the South;
7 Hiche sakol hattah hohi leiset chung kholtoh leding a thanomtah a hung kipatdoh ahiuve. Chuleh Pakai chun aseijin,” cheuvin leiset chung gakhol tauvin” ati. Hiti chun amaho akhol toh din ache tauve.
and, the deep red, have come forward and sought to go their way, that they might journey to and fro in the land, so he said, Go your way, journey to and fro in the land, —and they journeyed to and fro in the land.
8 Hijou chun Pakaiyin eihin kouvin aseijin ahi, “Vetan, sahlang gamsunga dinga kitolho khu hiche sahlam gamsunga kalung hanna achen dai taovin ahi.
Then made he outcry beside me, and spake unto me, saying, —See, these who are going forth into the land of the North, have settled my spirit in the land of the North.
9 Pakai thupeh ka kom ah ahung lhung kitnin hitin aseije
Then came the word of Yahweh unto me, saying:
10 Babylon gamma konna sohchang hundoh holah a kon in Heldai leh Tebiah chuleh Judiah hichenghi puijin lang hiche nikho ma chun Zephaniah chapa Josiah hengah chen ati.
Take of them of the exile, of Heldai, and of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, —then shalt, thou thyself, enter, on that day, yea thou shalt enter the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah, [with them] who have come in out of Babylon;
11 Chuteng leh dangka le sana la uvin lang lallukhuh sem un thempu chungnung Joshediah chapa Joshua chu khuhpeh un,
yea thou shalt take silver and gold, and make a crown, —and set [it] upon the head of Jehoshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest;
12 Chuleh ama komma hitin seijun, hatchungnung pen Pakaiyin hitin aseije, veuvin Abah kiti mikhat munna kon in hung khangtou tauvin tin chuteng leh aman Pakai Hou-in chu ahin tun doh ding ahi.
then shalt thou speak unto him, saying, Thus, speaketh Yahweh of hosts, saying, —Lo! a man! Bud, is his name, and, out of his own place, shall he bud forth, and shall build the temple of Yahweh;
13 Hichepa hin Pakai Hou-in asahdoh a loupina jong hung in chang ing chuleh alaltouna-a jong hung touva chuleh alaltouna-a chu thempua hung pang ding chuleh akikah lhonna chamnale lungmonna,
Yea, he, shall build the temple of Yahweh, and, he, shall bear the honour, and shall sit and rule upon his throne, —and shall become a priest upon his throne, and, the counsel of peace, shall be between the two of them.
14 Chuteng leh lallukhuh chu Pakai Hou-in sunga kikoija Heldai, Tebiah chu leh Zephaniah chapa Josiah hetdoh jingna dinga kikoi ding ahi.
But, the crown, shall belong to Heldai and to Tobiah and to Jedaiah, and to Hen son of Zephaniah, —for a memorial in the temple of Yahweh.
15 Hitia chu khol gamla tah a konna jong hung diu Pakai Hou-in sahna a hi hung pang ding, hiteng chuleh hatchungnung pen Pakaiyin eihinsol ahi ti nahet diu ahi. Nangin Pakai na Pathen thuthu nanunna ahileh hiti ahi hung guilhung ding ahi.
And, they who are afar off, shall come in and shall build at the temple of Yahweh, so shall yea know that, Yahweh of hosts, hath sent me unto you, —and it shall come to pass if ye will, indeed hearken, unto the voice of Yahweh your God.
