In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, a word of YHWH has been to Zechariah, son of Berechiah, son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
2 Napateu chunga Pakai alung hang lheh jingin ahi.
“YHWH was angry against your fathers—wrath!
3 Hijeh chun amaho kommah chun thaneipen Pakaiyin hitin ati, achutileh keijong nangho kom a kahung kile kitding ahi tin thaneipen Pakaiyin aseije.
And you have said to them, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: Return to Me, A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, And I return to you, said YHWH of Hosts.

You will not be as your fathers, To whom the former prophets called, Saying, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: Please turn back from your evil ways and from your evil doings, And they did not listen, Nor attend to Me—a declaration of YHWH.
5 Napu napateu chu tuahi hoilamma umma hitauvem? Amaho leh themgao ho chu sotpeha thigamma ahitauve.
Your fathers—where [are] they? And the prophets—do they live for all time?

Only, My words and My statutes, That I commanded My servants the prophets, Have they not overtaken your fathers? And they turn back and say: As YHWH of Hosts designed to do to us, According to our ways, and according to our doings, So He has done to us.”
7 Darius leng chan kumni lhinna shebath lha kehni somni leh ni li channin, themgao Iddo chapa Berachia chapa Zechariah komma Pakai thupeh ahung lhung in ahi.
On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month (it [is] the month of Sebat), in the second year of Darius, a word of YHWH has been to Zechariah, son of Berechiah, son of Iddo the prophet. [He was] saying:
8 Keiman phaicham khatnah huisum thing laha sakol sankhat anadingin achung a pasal khat ana tou chu jan nin gaovin kanamun ahi. Anunglamma chun sakol asan, abuong chuleh akaang jong ana ummin ahi.
I have seen by night, and behold, one riding on a red horse, and he is standing between the myrtles that [are] in the shade, and behind him [are] horses, red, bay, and white.
9 Keiman kakomma thusei vantil komma chun “ka Pakai hiche sakol hoipenhi ipi vetsah naham katin ahileh vantil chun na hetsah nang’e ati.
And I say, “What [are] these, my lord?” And the messenger who is speaking with me says to me, “I show you what these [are].”
10 Hichun huisum thing laha ding mipa hin adonbut in, hicheng pihi Pakaiyin leiset pumpi khol le dinga asohdoh ahiuve ati.
And the one who is standing between the myrtles answers and says, “These [are] they whom YHWH has sent to walk up and down in the land.”
11 Huisum phung laha ding Pakai vantil komma chun sakol chunga tou adangho chun aseijun, “keihon leiset pumpi ka khollun, leiset chunghi lungmong in aum nauve”atiuve.
And they answer the Messenger of YHWH who is standing between the myrtles, and say, “We have walked up and down in the land, and behold, all the land is sitting still, and at rest.”
12 Hichehi ajah phatnin Pakai vantil chu hitihin ataove. Vo hatchungnung Pakai kum som sagi sung ahi nangma Jerusalem leh Judah khopiho chunga hung lung hanga nahitam, itih chan gei hi amaho chunga khotona na musah loulai ding ham.
And the Messenger of YHWH answers and says, “YHWH of Hosts! Until when do You not pity Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, that You have abhorred these seventy years?”
13 Keikoma thusei vantil komma chun Pakaiyin lungmonna thucheng in ana donbut in ahi.
And YHWH answers the messenger, who is speaking with me, good words, comfortable words.
14 Hitichun kakihoulimpi vantil chun kakomma hitin anasei jin ahi. Hatchungnung Pakai chun hitin aseije. Keiman Jerusalem le Zion phatna dinghi gelkhoh naleh khotona kanei lheh jing in ahi.
And the messenger who is speaking with me, says to me, “Call, saying, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: I have been zealous for Jerusalem, And for Zion [with] great zeal.
15 Keiman tu tua chamna leh lungmonga um namdang ho komma kalung ahang lheh jeng in kamite chunga vang kaha lunghan pon ahi. Namdang hohin aha bolset val tauvin ahi.
And [with] great wrath I am angry against the nations who are at ease, For I was a little angry, and they assisted—for evil.
16 Hijeh chun Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, keima Jerusalema khotona neijin kahung kile tai. Kahouin kisa phading Chuleh Jerusalem kithah semphat ding ahi. tin hatchungnung Pakaiyin aseiye.
Therefore, thus said YHWH: I have turned to Jerusalem with mercies, My house is built in it, A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, And a line is stretched over Jerusalem.
17 Hatchungnung Pakijin jong hitin aseiye, Israel khopi ho bulhingset a hung kile dohding chuteng leh Pakai Zion alung monsahding chuleh Jerusalema dinga alahlut ding ahi.
Again call, saying, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: Again My cities overflow from good, And YHWH has again comforted Zion, And He has fixed again on Jerusalem.”
18 Hijouchun kadah in kavetleh saki li kamui
And I lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, four horns.
19 Keima eiki houlimpi vantil kom achun hichehi ipi tina ham tia kadohleh, aman eidonbut in,” hiche saki hohin chitin namtin laha Judah, Israel chuleh Jerusalem ana lhocheh a chu ahiuve.
And I say to the messenger who is speaking with me, “What [are] these?” And he says to me, “These [are] the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”
20 Chuin Pakaiyin thihkheng them mili eivetsah e.
And YHWH shows me four artisans.
21 Amaho hi ipi dinga hung hiuvam tia ka doh leh, vantil chun eidonbut in, hiche saki le nam ho hi Judahte muntinna ana thecheh ana sunem ho chu ahiuve. Tun hiche thihkheng them hohin hiche nam hohi kichatsah a sonlhu ding leh sumang dinga hung ahiuve ati.
And I say, “What [are] these coming to do?” And He speaks, saying, “These [are] the horns that have scattered Judah, so that no one has lifted up his head, and these come to trouble them, to cast down the horns of the nations who are lifting up a horn against the land of Judah—to scatter it.”
