Zekhariah 6
1 Bout kamoung navah, rahum hoi sak e rangleng pali touh mon rahak hoi a tâco e ka hmu.
Then I turned and lifted my eyes and I saw four chariots coming out from between two mountains; and the two mountains were made of bronze.
2 Hmaloe e rangleng dawk ka paling e marang, apâhni e rangleng dawk ka tamang e marang,
The first chariot had red horses, the second chariot had black horses,
3 Apâthum e rangleng dawk ka pangaw e marang, apalinae rangleng dawk thakasai ni teh tarakcak e marangnaw sut kaw e lah ao.
the third chariot had white horses, and the fourth chariot had spotted gray horses.
4 Ka bawipa, hote ranglengnaw hah bangtelamaw telah kai hoi ka pato roi e kalvantami koe ka pacei navah,
So I answered and said to the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my master?”
5 Kalvantami ni hote ranglengnaw teh talai van pueng ka uk e Bawi e hmalah kangduenae koehoi ka tâcawt e kalvan e kahlî pali touh doeh a ti.
The angel answered and said to me, “These are the four winds of heaven that go out from the place where they were standing before the Lord of all the earth.
6 Marang katamangnaw teh atunglae ram lah a cei awh, ka pangaw pueng teh ka tamangnaw e hnuk a kâbang awh, ka tarakcaknaw teh akalae ram lah a cei awh, a ti.
The one with the black horses is going out to the north country; the white horses are going out to the west country; and the spotted gray horses are going out to the south country.”
7 Athakasai e marangnaw a tâco awh teh, talai van atunglah, akalah a kâhei awh nahanlah a tha a la awh. Kalvantami ni hai cet awh nateh talai atunglah, akalah kâhei awh, telah atipouh e patetlah, ahnimouh teh talai van atunglah, akalah a kâhei awh.
These strong horses went out and sought to go and roam over the earth, so the angel said, “Go and roam over the earth!” and they left for all the earth.
8 Kalvantami ni kai na kaw teh khenhaw! atunglah ka cet e marangnaw ni kalungkhueknae teh atunglae ram dawk a kamtue sak awh toe.
Then he called out to me and spoke to me and said, “Look at the ones that are going out to the north country; they will appease my spirit concerning the north country.”
9 BAWIPA e lawk kai koe bout ka tho e teh,
So the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
10 hmaloe a man awh e teh atu Babilon kho hoi ka tho e Heldai phun, Tobiah phun hoi Jedaiah phun a tangawn a kaw teh, hnin touh dawk hoi Zephaniah e capa Josiah im vah a ceikhai teh,
“Take an offering from the exiles—from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah—and go this same day and take it into the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah, who has come from Babylon.
11 suingunnaw a la awh teh bawilukhungnaw lah a sak awh hnukkhu, Jehozadak capa Joshua, vaihma kacue e a lû dawk a kâmuk sak haw.
Then take the silver and gold, make a crown and set it upon the head of Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest.
12 Ransahu BAWIPA e kâlawk ahni koe patuen dei pouh hane teh, a cakang telah a min a phung e hah khenhaw! amamae kho hmuen koe ka pâw e tami ni BAWIPA e bawkim a sak han.
Speak to him and say, 'Yahweh of hosts says this: This man, his name is Branch! He will grow up where he is and will then build the temple of Yahweh!
13 BAWIPA e bawkim a sak torei teh bawilennae hoi a bawitungkhung dawk a tahung vaiteh a uk han. A tungkhung dawk vaihma lahai awm vaiteh, ahnimouh roi teh kâhuikonae lawkkam a sak roi han.
It is he who builds the temple of Yahweh, and he will be clothed with royal splendor, and will sit and rule on his throne. He will be a priest on his throne, and he will bear a counsel of peace between the two.
14 Hote bawilukhungnaw teh Helem, Tobiah, Jedaiah hoi Zephaniah capa Hennaw hanlah BAWIPA e bawkim dawkvah pahnim hoeh nahanlah ao han.
The crown will given to Heldai, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and for Hen son of Zephaniah as a memorial in the temple of Yahweh.
15 Ahlanae koehoi hai tho awh vaiteh BAWIPA e bawkim hah a sak awh han. Ransahu BAWIPA ni kai teh nangmouh koe na patoun e hah na panue awh han. Nangmouh ni na BAWIPA, Cathut e a kâlawk hah kahawicalah na ngai a bawi pawiteh, hettelah na o awh han a ti.
Then those who are far off will come and build the temple of Yahweh, so you will know that Yahweh of hosts has sent me to you; for this will happen if you truly listen to the voice of Yahweh your God!'”
