Zechariah 1
1 Darius vaipoh kumni le lha get channa Iddo themgao chapa Berechiah chapa Zechariah komma Pakai thupeh ahung lhungin hitin aseije.
In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Jehovah to Zechariah, the son of Barachiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying: —
2 Napateu chunga Pakai alung hang lheh jingin ahi.
Jehovah hath been much displeased with your fathers.
3 Hijeh chun amaho kommah chun thaneipen Pakaiyin hitin ati, achutileh keijong nangho kom a kahung kile kitding ahi tin thaneipen Pakaiyin aseije.
But say thou to them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Turn ye to me, saith Jehovah of hosts, And I will turn to you, saith Jehovah of hosts.
4 Napu napateo bangin chonhih’un, amaho jaha chu themgao hon lhang asap piuve, thaneipen Pakaiyin aseijin ase lamma nachon nauva kon leh thilse na bolnauva kon in hungkile kit’uvintin aseije. Ahivangin amahon angai pouvin khohsah injong anei pouve, tin Pakaiyin aseije.
Be ye not as your fathers, to whom the former prophets cried, saying, Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings! But they did not hear, nor hearken to me, saith Jehovah.
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 forever?
6 Ahinlah epi hijongleh kalhachate themgao komma kana phondoh ho jouse chu napu napateu khanglaijin kaseibang bangin ana guilhung sohtan ahi. Hiche dungjui chun amahon kisih in alungu ana heijun, Eihon thaneipen Pakaija kon in imudiu lom imu tauve, Aman kahin bolding ahi ati dungjuijin ahin tongdoh tan ahi.
But my words and my statutes, Which I commanded my servants, the prophets, Did they not overtake your fathers? And they returned and said, Even as Jehovah of hosts thought To do to us according to our ways, and according to doings, So hath he 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 four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Jehovah to Zechariah, the son of Barachiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, 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 saw in the night, and behold, a man riding upon a red horse; and he stood among the myrtle-trees that were in the deep valley, and behind him were other horses, red, fox-colored, 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.
Then I said, What are these, my lord? And the angel that talked with me said to me, I will show thee 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 man that stood among the myrtle-trees answered and said, These are they whom Jehovah hath sent to go to and fro through the earth.
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 answered the angel of Jehovah that stood among the myrtle-trees, and said, We have gone to and fro through the earth, and behold, all the earth is 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.
Then the angel of Jehovah answered, and said, O Jehovah of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?
13 Keikoma thusei vantil komma chun Pakaiyin lungmonna thucheng in ana donbut in ahi.
And Jehovah answered the angel that talked with me good words and 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 angel who talked with me said to me: Proclaim thou and say, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with great jealousy,
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 anger am I angry with the nations that are at ease; For I was but a little displeased, And they helped forward the affliction.
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 saith Jehovah: I return to Jerusalem with mercies; My house shall be built in it, Saith Jehovah of hosts, And a measuring-line shall be stretched forth 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.
Proclaim yet and say, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: My cities shall yet overflow with prosperity, And Jehovah will yet comfort Zion, And will yet choose Jerusalem.
18 Hijouchun kadah in kavetleh saki li kamui
Then I lifted up my eyes and looked, 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 said to the angel that talked with me, What mean these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
20 Chuin Pakaiyin thihkheng them mili eivetsah e.
And Jehovah showed me four smiths.
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.
Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head; and now these are come to terrify them, to cast out the horns of the nations which lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.
