Zechariah 7
1 Darius lengpa Vaipoh kumli channa lhako lhinna Chislea lha kiti nili lhinnin Pakaiyin Zechariah henga thu ahin seije:
And it came to pass in the fourth year of Darius the king, [that] the word of the Lord came to Zacharias on the fourth [day] of the ninth month, which is Chaseleu.
2 Hichun Bethel khomiten Saherzer le Regem-molech toh amiteu chu Pakai lunglhaina holdin asol tauve,
And Sarasar and Arbeseer the king and his men sent to Bethel, and [that] to propitiate the Lord,
3 Chujong leh thaneipan Pakai Hou-in na thempu leh themgao hochu thu aga dong’e, “Keiman hitih chan khanga kahin bolngai banga chu lhanga lhinseh leh lunghem kabolla an kangol ding ham, kum hijat sunga kabol bang banga?” tin sei uvintin asol uve.
speaking to the priests that were in the house of the Lord Almighty, and to the prophets, saying, The holy offering has come in hither in the fifth month, as it has done already many years.
4 Hiche ahin thanei pen Pakaiyin kajah in thu ahin seijin hitin ati.
And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying,
5 Gamsunga mite jahle thempuho jah a khun hiti hin seijin, nanghon lhanga lhin leh lha sagi teng leh lunghem anbollu khu, hiche kum som-sagi sunga hi keima dinga anngolla nahiuvem?
Speak to the whole people of the land, and to the priests, saying, Though ye fasted or lamented in the fifth or seventh [months] (yea, behold, these seventy years) have ye at all fasted to me?
6 Chuleh nanghon an naneh uva twi na donteng u-jongleh khun nangho le nangho dia na kineh uva chule nangho le nangho dia na kidon jiu hilou ham?
And if ye eat or drink, do ye not eat and drink for yourselves?
7 Jerusalem khopia mi achen lai, neile gou thalhin lai akimvel dunga jong khopi tampi aumna lhanglam gamla gammon lai dung jong min achenpha laiya chu hicheng mahi Pakaiyin themgao masaho komma aphondoh sa hilou ham?” tin ati.
Are not these the words which the Lord spoke by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and her cities round about her, and the hill country and the low country was inhabited?
8 Pakai thupeh chu Zechariah komma ahung lhung in hitin ati.
And the word of the Lord came to Zacharias, saying,
9 Thaneipen Pakaiyin hitin aseije, min asopi kom ah ngailutna leh khotona nei tahin thudih in thu tanhen,
Thus saith the Lord Almighty; Judge righteous judgment, and deal mercifully and compassionately every one with his brother:
10 Meithai hihen nuneilou pa neilou hijong leh kholjin hihen mivaicha hijong leh bol genthei hihen chuleh na lungthim in na sopi chunga thilse gel hihen,
and oppress not the widow, or the fatherless, or the stranger, or the poor; and let not one of you remember in his heart the injury of his brother.
11 Amahon nathuseiju ngaida uhenlang, nanung ngat’u henlang na thuseiju ajah lou na diuvin akollu sip jong leu,
But they refused to attend, and madly turned their back, and made their ears heavy, so that they should not hear.
12 A lungthi un nanahsah dau henlang danthu jong kihet mosah jongleu themgao masaho komma hatchungnung pen Pakaiyin ana phondoh ija tihih jong leu, hijeh achu hatchungnung Pakaija konna hung deojah jenga ahi.
And they made their heart disobedient, so as not to hearken to my law, and the words which the Lord Almighty sent forth by his Spirit by the former prophets: so there was great wrath from the Lord Almighty.
13 Keiman amaho kakouva eingaipeh lou jeh'un amahon eihin kouteng ujongleh keiman jong kangai peh lou ding, ahi tin thaneipen Pakaiyin aseijin ahi.
And it shall come to pass, [that] as he spoke, and they hearkened not, so they shall cry, and I will not hearken, saith the Lord Almighty.
14 Ama hohi ahet khah louvu chitin namtin lah a chimpei banga ka thethang gam ding ahi. Hitia chu agamsung uchu akeo hella kijam ding koi machan ahung vilkhah lou ding ahitan, agam nomtah uchu manlou asodoh sah u ahitai.
And I will cast them out among all the nations, whom they know not; and the land behind them shall be made utterly destitute of any going through or returning: yea they have made the choice land a desolation.
