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, a word of YHWH has been to Zechariah, son of Berechiah, son of Iddo the prophet, saying,

2 BAWIPA teh nangmae na mintoenaw koe a lungkhuek poung toe.

“YHWH was angry against your fathers—wrath!

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.

And you have said to them, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: Return to Me, A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, And I return to you, said YHWH of Hosts.

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.

You will not be as your fathers, To whom the former prophets called, Saying, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: Please turn back from your evil ways and from your evil doings, And they did not listen, Nor attend to Me—a declaration of 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 all time?

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.

Only, My words and My statutes, That I commanded My servants the prophets, Have they not overtaken your fathers? And they turn back and say: As YHWH of Hosts designed to do to us, According to our ways, and according to our doings, So He has done to 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,

On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month (it [is] the month of Sebat), in the second year of Darius, a word of YHWH has been to Zechariah, son of Berechiah, son of Iddo the prophet. [He was] 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 have seen by night, and behold, one riding on a red horse, and he is standing between the myrtles that [are] in the shade, and behind him [are] horses, red, bay, 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,

And I say, “What [are] these, my lord?” And the messenger who is speaking with me says to me, “I show you what these [are].”

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 one who is standing between the myrtles answers and says, “These [are] they whom YHWH has sent to walk up and down in the land.”

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 answer the Messenger of YHWH who is standing between the myrtles, and say, “We have walked up and down in the land, and behold, all the land is sitting still, and 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,

And the Messenger of YHWH answers and says, “YHWH of Hosts! Until when do You not pity Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, that You have abhorred these seventy years?”

13 Kai hoi ka pato roi e kalvantami hanelah BAWIPA ni lawk kahawi, lungpahawinae lawk bout a dei pouh.

And YHWH answers the messenger, who is speaking with me, good words, 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.

And the messenger who is speaking with me, says to me, “Call, saying, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: I have been zealous for Jerusalem, And for Zion [with] great zeal.

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 [with] great wrath I am angry against the nations who are at ease, For I was a little angry, and they assisted—for evil.

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 said YHWH: I have turned to Jerusalem with mercies, My house is built in it, A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, And a line is stretched over 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.

Again call, saying, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: Again My cities overflow from good, And YHWH has again comforted Zion, And He has fixed again on Jerusalem.”

18 Hathnukkhu, ka khet navah ki pali touh ka hmu.

And I lift up my eyes, and look, 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 say to the messenger who is speaking with me, “What [are] these?” And he says to me, “These [are] the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”

20 BAWIPA ni hai lettama pali touh na patue.

And YHWH shows me four artisans.

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.

And I say, “What [are] these coming to do?” And He speaks, saying, “These [are] the horns that have scattered Judah, so that no one has lifted up his head, and these come to trouble them, to cast down the horns of the nations who are lifting up a horn against the land of Judah—to scatter it.”
