Zekhariah 1
1 Darius siangpahrang uknae, a kum pahni, thapa yung taroe nah, Iddo e capa Berekhiah capa profet Zekhariah koe BAWIPA ni a dei pouh e lawk teh,
In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Yhwh unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
2 BAWIPA teh nangmae na mintoenaw koe a lungkhuek poung toe.
Yhwh hath been sore displeased with your fathers.
3 Hateiteh, ransahu BAWIPA ni ahnimouh hanlah kâ a poe e teh, Kai koevah bout ban awh leih, Kai hai nangmouh koe ka ban han telah a ti.
Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith Yhwh of Armies; Turn ye unto me, saith Yhwh of Armies, and I will turn unto you, saith Yhwh of Armies.
4 Ayan e profetnaw ni nangmae kahawihoehe lam, kahawihoehe nuencangnaw atuvah roun awh, telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a dei e pathang nakunghai, na thai awh hoeh, kaie lawk hai na ngai awh hoeh. Na mintoenaw patetlah awm awh hanh, sak awh hanh telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith Yhwh of Armies; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith Yhwh.
5 Mintoe naw na maw ao awh. Profetnaw yungyoe a hring a maw.
Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever?
6 Ka san profetnaw koe lawk ka thui e kaie kâlawknaw teh, nangmae mintoenaw ni hai a kei awh nahoehmaw. Ahnimouh ni mae tawksak e patetlah ransahu BAWIPA ni lawk na ceng han telah a pouk awh e patetlah, lawk na ceng toe telah a dei awh nahoehmaw telah a ti.
But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? and they returned and said, Like as Yhwh of Armies thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us.
7 Darius siangpahrang a bawinae kum pahni, Adar thapa yung hlaibun nah, Shebat thapa hnin 24 nah, Iddo capa, Berekhiah capa Zekhariah koe ka tho e BAWIPA e lawk teh,
Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Yhwh unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
8 Karum vah ka hmu e vision teh marang paling kâcui e tami buet touh a kamnue teh ayawn kaawm e tuihan hmang um vah a kangdue. Ahnie a hnukkhu lah ka paling e marang, opaou e marang hoi marang pangaw ao.
I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white.
9 Kai niyah, Oe BAWIPA hotnaw hah apinaw maw telah ka pacei teh, kai hoi kâpan e kalvantami ni hotnaw teh apine tie na patue vai ati teh,
Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these be.
10 Tuihan hmang um kangdout e tami ni ahnimanaw teh talai van dawk kâhei hanlah BAWIPA ni a patoun e naw doeh telah a ti.
And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom Yhwh hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.
11 Ahnimanaw nihaiyah kaimanaw teh talai van pueng koung katin awh toe. Talai pueng lungmawngcalah ao telah tuihan hmang um ka kangdout e BAWIPA e kalvantami koe atipouh.
And they answered the angel of Yhwh that stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.
12 Hathnukkhu, BAWIPA e kalvantami ni Oe, ransahu BAWIPA nang ni a kum 70 totouh na lungkhuek sin e Jerusalem kho hoi Judahnaw hah na tueng totouh maw pahren laipalah na o han telah a pacei navah,
Then the angel of Yhwh answered and said, O Yhwh of Armies, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?
13 Kai hoi ka pato roi e kalvantami hanelah BAWIPA ni lawk kahawi, lungpahawinae lawk bout a dei pouh.
And Yhwh answered the angel that talked with me with good words and comfortable words.
14 Kai hoi ka pato roi e kalvantami nihaiyah ransahu BAWIPA e kâlawk patuen a dei vaiteh a hramkhai hane teh, kai teh Jerusalem hoi Zion mon hanelah puenghoi lungpatawnae ka tawn.
So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith Yhwh of Armies; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
15 Lung awpawp kamawng lah kaawm e alouke miphunnaw koe ka lungphuen poung. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Jerusalem hah ka lung youn touh ka khuek sin navah, ahnimouh ni a ven awh teh a rektap awh.
And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.
16 Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, lungmanae lungthin hoi Jerusalem kho vah bout ka tho toe. Hete khopui dawk kamae im ka sak han. Khopui hmuen hai ka bangnue han telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a ti.
Therefore thus saith Yhwh; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith Yhwh of Armies, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.
17 Hahoi, ransahu BAWIPA ni kâ a poe e bout hramkhai hane teh, kaie khopui teh avoivang lah akaw vaiteh ahawi han. BAWIPA ni hai Zion khocanaw a lung bout a pahawi han. Jerusalem khocanaw teh bout ka rawi vaiteh ka khetyawt han a ti.
Cry yet, saying, Thus saith Yhwh of Armies; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; And Yhwh shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
18 Hathnukkhu, ka khet navah ki pali touh ka hmu.
Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.
19 Kai hoi ka pan roi e kalvantami hanelah, hote a kinaw teh bang ti ngainae maw telah ka pacei navah, hote a kinaw teh Judah ram, Isarel ram, Jerusalem khopuinaw pheng kampek sak e ki doeh telah a dei.
And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
20 BAWIPA ni hai lettama pali touh na patue.
And Yhwh shewed me four carpenters.
21 Kai ni hetnaw heh bang sak hanelah maw a tho ti ka pacei navah, a kinaw hah apinihai a khet ngam hoeh nahanelah, Judahnaw kampek sak e a kinaw doeh. Hete lettamanaw ni Judah ram kampek sak hanelah ka tuk e a kinaw hah pâlei vaiteh, Jentelnaw e a kinaw hah ka dudam e naw doeh telah a ti.
Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to frighten them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.
