Zekhariah 9

1 BAWIPA e lawk teh Hadrak ram hoi Damaskas khopui dawk a pha. BAWIPA ni miphunnaw thoseh, Isarel miphunnaw thoseh, a khetyawt.

The burden of a word of Jehovah against the land of Hadrach, and Demmeseh — his place of rest: (When to Jehovah [is] the eye of man, And of all the tribes of Israel.)

2 Hote ram hoi kahnai e Hamath ram dawk thoseh, Taire kho teh a lungang awh dawkvah hote kho hoi Sidon kho dawk a pha.

And also Hamath doth border thereon, Tyre and Zidon, for — very wise!

3 Taire kho ni ama hanelah imrasang a sak teh ngun hah vaiphu patetlah thoseh, lam dawk e tangdong patetlah thoseh, a pâkhueng eiteh,

And Tyre doth build a bulwark to herself, And doth heap silver as dust, And gold as mire of out-places.

4 BAWIPA ni ayâ kut dawk a hnawng teh a tha hah talî dawk a tâkhawng pouh awh dawkvah, khopui teh hmai hoi a kak han.

Lo, the Lord doth dispossess her, And He hath smitten in the sea her force, And she with fire is consumed.

5 Hot patetnaw hah Askelon ni a hmu vaiteh a taki han. Gaza kho ni a hmu vaiteh a pâyaw han.

See doth Ashkelon and fear, Also Gaza, and she is exceedingly pained, Also Ekron — for her expectation dried up, And perished hath a king from Gaza, And Ashkelon doth not remain,

6 Asdod khopui dawk tami alouknaw kho a sak han. Filistinnaw e kâoupnae haiyah ka raen pouh han.

And dwelt hath a foreigner in Ashdod, And I have cut off the excellency of the Philistines.

7 A ca e thi hah apâhni dawk hoi thoseh, A kei e panuetkathonaw hai a hâ rahak hoi thoseh, ka rayu pouh han. Kacawie naw haiyah maimae BAWIPA hanelah acawi awh teh Judah ram dawk ukkung patetlah ao awh han. Ekron khocanaw hai Jubusitnaw patetlah ao awh han.

And turned aside his blood from his mouth, His abominations from between his teeth, And he hath remained, even he, to our God, And he hath been as a leader in Judah, And Ekron as a Jebusite.

8 Bang patet e taran hai a kâen a tâco thai hoeh nahanlah im petkâkalup lah ramveng ka ta han. Karektapkungnaw ni ka taminaw hah bout rektap mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kama ni ka mit hoi khei ka hmu toe.

And I have pitched for My house a camp, Because of the passer through, and of the returner, And pass not through against them again doth an exactor, For, now, I have seen with My eyes.

9 Oe, Zion canu na lunghawi haw. Oe Jerusalem canu hram haw. Kalan lah lawk a ceng teh rungngangnae lah kaawm e nangmae Siangpahrang teh la van, laca van a kâcui teh lungdo lungnemnae lahoi na onae koe ka tho e hah khenhaw!

Rejoice exceedingly, O daughter of Zion, Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem, Lo, thy King doth come to thee, Righteous — and saved is He, Afflicted — and riding on an ass, And on a colt — a son of she-asses.

10 Kai ni Ephraim ram dawk rangleng thoseh, Jerusalem khopui dawk marang thoseh, ka raphoe han. Tarantuknae licung hai ka raphoe han. Miphun alouknaw ni taran ka roum sak han telah, hote bawi ni ati han. Kâtawnnae hai tui avanglah hoi namran totouh thoseh, tuipui koehoi talai apout totouh a kangning han.

And I have cut off the chariot from Ephraim, And the horse from Jerusalem, Yea, cut off hath been the bow of battle, And he hath spoken peace to nations, And his rule [is] from sea unto sea, And from the river unto the ends of earth.

11 Nange kong dawk teh, paung lah kaawm e nange taminaw hah, tui kaawm hoeh e tuido dawk hoi, nang hoi sak e lawkkam thipaling kecu dawk kai ni ka hlout sak han.

Also thou — by the blood of thy covenant, I have sent thy prisoners out of the pit, There is no water in it.

12 Paung lah kaawm ni teh ngaihawinae ka tawn e naw, rapanim thung lah ban awh. Kai ni let hni yawhawinae na poe awh han telah sahnin roeroe ka dei.

Turn back to a fenced place, Ye prisoners of the hope, Even to-day a second announcer I restore to thee.

13 Judah licung ka patung vaiteh, Ephraim e licung ka sawn vaiteh, Zion khocanaw hah Kriknaw koe lah hroecoe vaiteh, nang teh athakaawme tami e tahloi patetlah na o sak han.

For I have trodden for Me Judah, A bow I have filled [with] Ephraim, And I have stirred up thy sons, O Zion, Against thy sons, O Javan, And I have set thee as the sword of a hero.

14 BAWIPA teh ahnimae lathueng a kamnue teh pala teh sumpapalik e patetlah a thui han. Bawipa Jehovah ni mongka a ueng vaiteh akalae bongparui naw hoi a tho han.

And Jehovah doth appear for them, And gone forth as lightning hath His arrow, And the Lord Jehovah with a trumpet bloweth, And He hath gone with whirlwinds of the south.

15 Ransahu BAWIPA ni ahnimouh teh a okhai dawk a tarannaw a tâ awh han. Deinae talungnaw a coungroe awh han. Misur kaparuinaw patetlah a hram awh han. Kawlung patetlah thoseh, thuengnae khoungroe takin patetlah thoseh, akawi awh han.

Jehovah of Hosts doth cover them over, And they consumed, and subdued sling-stones, Yea, they have drunk, They have made a noise as wine, And they have been full as a bowl, As corners of an altar.

16 Hat hnin vah, ahnimae BAWIPA Cathut ni a taminaw teh tuhu patetlah a rungngang han. Ahnimouh teh a talai dawk kaawm e bawilukhung dawk ka-ang e ngun patetlah ao awh han.

And saved them hath Jehovah their God In that day, as a flock of His people, For stones of a crown are displaying themselves over His ground.

17 Lungmanae teh a len toung loung. Bari law-a lah a onae hai a len toung loung. Cakang ni thoundounnaw thoseh, Misur tui a katha e ni hai tanglanaw thoseh, a roung sak han.

For what His goodness! and what His beauty! Corn the young men, And new wine the virgins — make fruitful!
