Zekhariah 8
1 Ransahu BAWIPA e lawk kai koe bout ka phat e teh,
The word of the LORD of Armies came to me.
2 Ransahu BAWIPA ni a dei e lawk teh, ka lung a tangpoung toe. Puenghoi ka lungkhuek teh ahni hanlah ka lung a tang toe.
The LORD of Armies says: “I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath.”
3 Ransahu BAWIPA ni a dei e lawk teh, Zion mon dawk bout ka tho toe. Jerusalem khopui dawk bout ka o han. Jerusalem teh ka khopui telah ka ti vaiteh ransahu BAWIPA e monpui hoi mon kathoung telah ati awh han.
The LORD says: “I have returned to Zion, and will dwell in the middle of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be called ‘The City of Truth;’ and the mountain of the LORD of Armies, ‘The Holy Mountain.’”
4 Ransahu BAWIPA ni a dei e lawk teh, kamatong e napui hoi tongpa, a kum kacue ni teh sonron ka sonron e matawng pueng, Jerusalem lamnaw dawk ao awh han rah.
The LORD of Armies says: “Old men and old women will again dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, every man with his staff in his hand because of their old age.
5 Khopui e lamthungnaw dawk ka paitun e napui camonaw hoi khik akawi han.
The streets of the city will be full of boys and girls playing in its streets.”
6 Bout a dei e lawk teh, hottelah hno kaawm e hah atu kacawiraenaw hmalah kângairu hanlah ao ei, kaie ka hmalah lateh kângairu lah kaawm han namaw telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a ti.
The LORD of Armies says: “If it is marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be marvelous in my eyes?” says the LORD of Armies.
7 Ransahu BAWIPA ni a dei e lawk teh, ka taminaw teh kanîtho ram lahoi thoseh, Kanîloum ram lahoi thoseh, ka rungngang vaiteh,
The LORD of Armies says: “Behold, I will save my people from the east country and from the west country.
8 Jerusalem khothung o sak hanlah ka bankhai han. Lawk katang hoi, lannae phunglawk hoi ahnimouh teh ka tami lah ao awh vaiteh, kai haiyah ahnimae BAWIPA lah ka o pouh han.
I will bring them, and they will dwell within Jerusalem. They will be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.”
9 Ransahu BAWIPA ni a dei e lawk teh, bawkim sak hanelah, ransahu BAWIPA e im khomdu pabonae tueng nah kaawm e profetnaw ni a dei e lawk hah atu na ka thai e nangmae kut dawkvah na tha patho awh.
The LORD of Armies says: “Let your hands be strong, you who hear in these days these words from the mouth of the prophets who were in the day that the foundation of the house of the LORD of Armies was laid, even the temple, that it might be built.
10 Hote tueng a pha hoehnahlan, tami ni a coe hane awm hoeh. Kâen katâcawtnaw teh taran ao dawkvah a lungmawng awh hoeh. Kai ni taminaw pueng buet touh hoi buet touh ka kâtaran sak.
For before those days there was no wages for man nor any wages for an animal, neither was there any peace to him who went out or came in, because of the adversary. For I set all men everyone against his neighbor.
11 Atu e taminaw koe yampa e patetlah ka sak mahoeh telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a ti.
But now I will not be to the remnant of this people as in the former days,” says the LORD of Armies.
12 Lawkduem lahoi cati a patue awh han. Misurkung ni a paw thoseh, talai ni apung nahanelah thoseh, kalvan ni tadamtui thoseh, na poe awh han. Kacawirae hete taminaw hanlah, hete hno a coe thai awh nahanlah ka sak pouh han.
“For the seed of peace and the vine will yield its fruit, and the ground will give its increase, and the heavens will give their dew. I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these things.
13 Oe Judah hoi Isarel miphunnaw, nangmanaw teh miphun alouknaw koe thoebo lah ouk na o a e patetlah yawhawi na hmu awh nahanlah, Kai ni na rungngang awh han. Puen laipalah na kut thasai sak awh.
It shall come to pass that, as you were a curse among the nations, house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you, and you shall be a blessing. Don’t be afraid. Let your hands be strong.”
14 Ransahu BAWIPA ni a dei e lawk teh, nangmae mintoenaw ni kai lung na khuek sak awh navah, yon sak han telah pan kângai laipalah ka kâcai e patetlah,
For the LORD of Armies says: “As I thought to do evil to you when your fathers provoked me to wrath,” says the LORD of Armies, “and I didn’t repent,
15 Sahnin e atueng dawk Jerusalem khopui hoi Judah miphun teh yawhawi ka poe han telah, bout ka kâcai. Puen awh hanh telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a ti.
so again I have thought in these days to do good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. Don’t be afraid.
16 Nangmouh ni na sak awh han e teh, buet touh hoi buet touh lawk kahman e hah kâdei awh. Khopui longkha koe kalan lah lawkceng awh nateh, kâtoenae naw hah sak nahanlah laideitâtueng awh.
These are the things that you shall do: speak every man the truth with his neighbor. Execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates,
17 Buet touh hoi buet touh kahawihoehe khopouknae tawn awh hanh. Kahawi hoeh e thoekâbonae sak e hah lungpataw awh hanh. Hot patet e tawksaknae naw teh kai ni ka panuet telah a ti.
and let none of you devise evil in your hearts against his neighbor, and love no false oath; for all these are things that I hate,” says the LORD.
18 Ransahu BAWIPA e lawk kai koe bout ka tho e teh,
The word of the LORD of Armies came to me.
19 Ransahu BAWIPA ni thapa yung pali nah rawcahainae, yung panga nah rawcahainae, yung sari nah rawcahainae, ayung tako nah rawcahainae, Judah miphunnaw ni a lunghawi awh teh pawitonae tueng lah ao han. Lannae hoi roumnae hah lungpataw awh haw.
The LORD of Armies says: “The fasts of the fourth, fifth, seventh, and tenth months shall be for the house of Judah joy, gladness, and cheerful feasts. Therefore love truth and peace.”
20 Ransahu BAWIPA ni a dei e lawk teh, khoca ramca naw hoi tami aphunphun naw moikapap a tho awh han.
The LORD of Armies says: “Many peoples and the inhabitants of many cities will yet come.
21 Khopui dawk kaawm ni yah alouke khopui dawk kaawm e naw koe a cei teh, BAWIPA hmalah ratoum hanelah thoseh, ransahu BAWIPA tawng hanelah thoseh, atangcalah cet awh sei telah ati awh vaiteh, kai hai ka cei han telah na kaw awh han.
The inhabitants of one will go to another, saying, ‘Let’s go speedily to entreat the favor of the LORD, and to seek the LORD of Armies. I will go also.’
22 Ram kalennaw, miphunnaw niyah ransahu BAWIPA hah Jerusalem khopui dawk a tawng awh vaiteh BAWIPA hmalah ratoum hanelah a tho awh han.
Yes, many peoples and strong nations will come to seek the LORD of Armies in Jerusalem and to entreat the favor of the LORD.”

The LORD of Armies says: “In those days, ten men out of all the languages of the nations will take hold of the skirt of him who is a Jew, saying, ‘We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.’”
