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 comes to pass, in the fourth year of Darius the king, a word of YHWH has been to Zechariah, in the fourth of the ninth month, in Chisleu.
2 BAWIPA e hmalah ratoum hanlah kum moikasaw sak e patetlah thapa yung panga navah, khuika teh bu hai han nama telah,
And Beth-El sends Sherezer and Regem-Melech, and its men, to appease the face of 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.
speaking to the priests who [are] at the house of YHWH of Hosts, and to the prophets, saying, “Do I weep in the fifth month—being separated—as I have done these so many years?”
4 Ransahu BAWIPA e lawk teh Zekhariah koe a pha teh,
And there is a word of YHWH of Hosts to 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 to all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying,
6 Na canei awh nahaiyah ma ngainae patetlah vai na canei a vaw.
When you fasted with mourning in the fifth and in the seventh [months]—even these seventy years—did you keep the fast [to] Me? And when you eat, and when you drink, is it not you who are eating, and you who are drinking?
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.
Are [these] not the words that YHWH proclaimed by the hand of the former prophets, in Jerusalem’s being inhabited, and [in] safety, and its cities around it, and the south and the plain—abiding?”
8 Hat navah, Zekhariah koe ka phat e BAWIPA e lawk teh,
And there is a word of YHWH to Zechariah, saying,
9 Kalan lah lawkceng awh. Pahren lungmanae hoi buet touh hoi buet touh lungkâpataw awh.
“Thus spoke YHWH of Hosts, saying, Judge [with] true judgment, And do kindness and mercy with one another.
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 do not oppress widow, and fatherless, Sojourner, and poor, And you do not devise the calamity of one another in your heart.
11 Ahnimouh ni ka lawk ngai laipalah hlout nahanlah a kâyawm awh. A thai hoeh nahanlah a hnâ a tabuem awh.
And they refuse to attend, And they give a stubborn shoulder, And their ears are made heavy against hearing.
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.
And their heart they have made adamant, Against hearing the Law, and the words, That YHWH of Hosts sent by His Spirit, By the hand of the former prophets, And there is great wrath from YHWH of Hosts.
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.
And it comes to pass, as He called, And they have not listened, So they call, and I do not listen,” said YHWH of Hosts.
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.
“And I toss them on all the nations, That they have not known, The land has been desolate behind them, Of any passing by and turning back, And they set a desirable land for a desolation!”
