Zekhariah 7
1 Darius siangpahrang uknae kum pali, thapa yung tako, Chislev hnin pali hnin nah Zekhariah koe BAWIPA e lawk ka tho e teh,
And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of Yhwh came unto Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, even in Chisleu;
2 BAWIPA e hmalah ratoum hanlah kum moikasaw sak e patetlah thapa yung panga navah, khuika teh bu hai han nama telah,
When they had sent unto the house of God Sherezer and Regem–melech, and their men, to pray before Yhwh,
3 Ransahu BAWIPA e im dawk kaawm e vaihma hoiyah profetnaw hah pacei hanelah, Sherezer, Regem Melek hoi ahnimae taminaw BAWIPA e im dawk a patoun awh.
And to speak unto the priests which were in the house of Yhwh of Armies, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?
4 Ransahu BAWIPA e lawk teh Zekhariah koe a pha teh,
Then came the word of Yhwh of Armies unto me, saying,
5 vaihmanaw hoi khocaramcanaw pueng hanelah na dei hane teh, a kum 70 touh thung, nangmanaw teh thapa ayung panga e hoi ayung sari e dawkvah bu na hai awh teh na khuika awh navah atangcalah kaie ka ngainae patetlah Kai koe bu na hai awh maw.
Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, even those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, even to me?
6 Na canei awh nahaiyah ma ngainae patetlah vai na canei a vaw.
And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?
7 Jerusalem khopui hoi atengpam e khonaw akalae hoi tanghlingnaw dawk e tami apap lahun navah, ayan e profetnaw koe Cathut ni a pathang e kâlawk akuep toung nahoehmaw telah a ti.
Should ye not hear the words which Yhwh hath cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities thereof round about her, when men inhabited the south and the plain?
8 Hat navah, Zekhariah koe ka phat e BAWIPA e lawk teh,
And the word of Yhwh came unto Zechariah, saying,
9 Kalan lah lawkceng awh. Pahren lungmanae hoi buet touh hoi buet touh lungkâpataw awh.
Thus speaketh Yhwh of Armies, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother:
10 Naranaw, lahmai napui, ayâ khoram kaawm e karoedengnaw rektap awh hanh. Buet touh hoi buet touh kahawihoehe pouknae tawn awh hanh telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a dei e teh,
And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.
11 Ahnimouh ni ka lawk ngai laipalah hlout nahanlah a kâyawm awh. A thai hoeh nahanlah a hnâ a tabuem awh.
But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.
12 Phunglawk thoseh, ransahu BAWIPA e Muitha niyah ayan e profetnaw koe a dei pouh e lawk thoseh, ahnimouh ni a thai awh hoeh nahanlah a lungthinnaw lungtaw patetlah a pata sak awh. Hatdawkvah, ransahu BAWIPA teh puenghoi a lungkhuek.
Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which Yhwh of Armies hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from Yhwh of Armies.
13 Kai ni ka kaw navah a thai awh hoeh e patetlah, ahnimouh ni na kaw to hai kai ni ka thai pouh mahoeh telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a ti.
Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith Yhwh of Armies:
14 Ahnimouh ni a panue awh hoeh e miphunnaw koevah bongparui hoi ka palek sak awh toe. Hatdawkvah, ahnimae ram teh kingkadi lah ao teh, apihaiyah kâhlumkâhlai e awm hoeh. Ram kahawi teh koung raphoe lah ao telah a ti.
But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate.
