Zechariah 9
1 Hiche hi Pakaija konna Ram gamleh Damascus khopi demna in Pakai thupeh ahung lhung in ahi. Ajeh chu Israel phungho leh mitin vaipi mitnin Pakai lambou ave tauvin ahi.
A prophecy: A message from the Lord to the land of Hadrach, and Damascus its main objective. For the eyes of human beings together with all the tribes of Israel are on the Lord,
2 Damascus komma um Hanath leh Tyre le Sidon khopiho achih lheh vangun mahthah teidiu ahi.
and Hamath too since it is close by. Also Tyre and Sidon for they are very wise.
3 Tyre hin galdouna phatah nei jong leh sana le dangka lamlenna vutvai bahsah jeng jongleu,
The people of Tyre built a fortress, and piled up silver like dust and gold like the dirt of the street.
4 Tun Pakaiyin Tyre neilegou jouse achomkhom in twikhanglen'ah asep lhatan chuleh meiyin akahlhah ding ahi.
But look at what will happen. The Lord will take away everything they have, and knock down their strong defenses into the sea. The city will be burned down.
5 Ashkelon khopi hin Tyre a suhlhuh ding chuleh lungkhamna dimset ding ahi. Gaza tijatnan lodim intin, Ekron kinepna hung beiding Gaza lengpa hung kithat intin, Askelon a koima hung cheng lou ding ahi.
The people of Ashkelon will see this and be terrified; those in Gaza will thrash around in agony like a woman giving birth; and the people of Ekron too, because their hopes are shattered. The king of Gaza will be killed, and Ashkelon will be deserted.
6 Ashdod khopi gam chom in ahin lodim ding keiman Palistine kiletsahna kasuh ding ahi.
Mixed-race people will live in Ashdod, and I will wipe out the Philistine's pride.
7 Keiman akamsunga konna thisan dim atahsa phechu kaloidoh pehding chuleh ahakah uva konna kidah um pumgo thiltosa aneh hochu akamma konna ka loidoh peh ding ahi. Chu jong leh Philistine ahing doh hochun a Pathennu hinhou untin Judah phungkhat toh hung bang diu ahi. Ekron Philistine ten kamite hinjop untin Jubusite khatvei ana bol tobanga chu abol diu ahi.
I will remove the blood-filled meat from their mouths; the unclean food from their jaws. Those who remain will belong to our God—they shall become like a family of Judah—and those from Ekron will become part of my people, just as the Jebusites did.
8 Keiman ka Hou-in kaven tup jing ding chuleh agalmiteu a konna kahuhdoh ding, chuleh gamdang miten agam sungu ahin lonvuh louna diuva kavetsui ding ahi.
I will make my camp in my Temple to guard it from invaders, and no oppressors will conquer them, for now I myself am keeping watch.
9 Kipah-un O Zion mite, vo Jerusalem mipite galjona samphong un, Ven nalengpa chu ahunge, Amahi thudih le galjoupa ahi, ahinla amahi sangan nou chunga hungtou minunnemtah ahi.
Be happy and celebrate, people of Zion! Shout loudly, people of Jerusalem! Look, your king is coming to you. He does what is right and has salvation; he is humble, riding on a donkey—on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
10 Keiman Israel a konna galsatna sakol kangchu kalah doh ding chuleh Jerusalema konna galsatna sakol hochu kalah doh ding ahi. Keiman galmun na konna galmanchah hochu ka suhmang ding chuleh na lengpau chun chitin namtin lah a chamna ahinpohlut ding alenggam in twikhanglen langkhat a konna twikhanglen langkhat Eupharates vadunga konna leiset kolmang geija kijesal ding ahi.
(I will remove the chariots from Ephraim and the warhorses from Jerusalem. I will destroy the bows used in battle.) He will proclaim peace to the nations, and he will rule from sea to sea, from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth.
11 Nangho toh thisanna kimankhum kakitepna joh achu twi gotna kotong a konna na sohchang teu chu kalha doh ding ahi.
And as for you, because my agreement with you, sealed with blood, I will set you free from the waterless pit.
12 Na hoidoh nading munnah hung kilekit tan, kinepna neinalai sohchang ho nathoh gimnau khat cheh chunga chu phatthei bohna ajatnia kale thuhding nahiuve.
Return to the stronghold, you prisoners who have hope! Today I promise I will repay you double what you lost.
13 Judah hi kathalpi, Israel hi kathalchang chuleh Jerusalem hi ka chemjam nahiuve, galhatpa banga keiman Greekte douna kamanchah ding nahiuve.
I will use Judah as my bow, and I will load it with Ephraim my arrow. I will call up you men of Zion to fight against you men of Greece, wielding you like a warrior's sword.
14 Pakai chu namite chunga hung kilangding athalpi chu kolphe banga hung lengding, lalchung nung Pakai chun sumkon ahin mutna lhanglam neldi gamma chimpei banga gal ahinsat ding ahi.
Then the Lord will appear over his people and his arrow will flash like lightning! The Lord God will blow the trumpet and march out like a windstorm from the south.
15 Hatchung nung Pakai chun amite ahin huhdoh ding, amahon song lentahtah a ahinseuva gal ajo diu amaho chun jukham banga asapthodiu gal ajodiu ahi. Maicham chunga kithe khum thisan alon banga agalmiteu thisan alondoh sah diu ahi.
The Lord Almighty will protect them. They will destroy their enemies, conquering them with slingshots. They will drink and shout loudly like people who are drunk. They will be filled like a bowl, soaked liked the corners of an altar.
16 Hicheni chuleh Pakaiyin kelngoi chingpan amite ahuh doh banga amite ahuhdoh ding amaho chu lallukhuh kijapna song vahhoi banga gamsunga chu vahdoh diu ahi.
On that day the Lord their God will save them—his people that are his flock—for they will glitter as crown jewels in his land.
17 Amaho chu iti kidanna iti hoiya hoi hitauvem? Gollhang hochu chaang nengchatna kivahthao diu, nungah hochu lengpithei thuha kivahthao diu ahi.
How lovely and beautiful they will be! Young men will grow strong on grain, and young women flourish on the new wine.
