1 Darius lengpa Vaipoh kumli channa lhako lhinna Chislea lha kiti nili lhinnin Pakaiyin Zechariah henga thu ahin seije:
It happened in the fourth year of king Daryavesh that the word of the LORD came to Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, the month of Chislev.
2 Hichun Bethel khomiten Saherzer le Regem-molech toh amiteu chu Pakai lunglhaina holdin asol tauve,
The people of Bethel sent Sharezer and Regem Melech, and their men, to entreat the LORD's favor,
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.
and to speak to the cohanim of the house of the LORD of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, "Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?"
4 Hiche ahin thanei pen Pakaiyin kajah in thu ahin seijin hitin ati.
Then 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 all the people of the land, and to the cohanim, saying, 'When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh month for these seventy years, did you at all fast to me, really 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?
When you eat, and when you drink, do you not eat for yourselves, 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.
Aren't these the words which the LORD proclaimed by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and its cities around her, and the Negev and the lowland were inhabited?'"
8 Pakai thupeh chu Zechariah komma ahung lhung in hitin ati.
The word of the LORD came to Zechariah, saying,
9 Thaneipen Pakaiyin hitin aseije, min asopi kom ah ngailutna leh khotona nei tahin thudih in thu tanhen,
"Thus has the LORD of hosts spoken, saying, 'Execute true judgment, and show kindness and compassion every man to 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,
Do not oppress the widow, nor the fatherless, the foreigner, nor the poor; and let none of you devise evil against his brother in your heart.'
11 Amahon nathuseiju ngaida uhenlang, nanung ngat’u henlang na thuseiju ajah lou na diuvin akollu sip jong leu,
But they refused to listen, and turned their backs, and stopped their ears, that they might 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.
Yes, they made their hearts as hard as flint, lest they might hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts had sent by his Ruach by the former prophets. Therefore great wrath came from the LORD of hosts.
13 Keiman amaho kakouva eingaipeh lou jeh'un amahon eihin kouteng ujongleh keiman jong kangai peh lou ding, ahi tin thaneipen Pakaiyin aseijin ahi.
It has come to pass that, as he called, and they refused to listen, so they will call, and I will not listen," said the LORD of hosts;
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.
"but I will scatter them with a whirlwind among all the nations which they have not known. Thus the land was desolate after them, so that no man passed through nor returned: for they made the pleasant land desolate."
