< Zechariah 12 >

1 This is the burden of the word of the LORD concerning Israel. Thus declares the LORD, who stretches out the heavens and lays the foundation of the earth, who forms the spirit of man within him:
Israel ham BOEIPA kah olrhuh ol neh BOEIPA kah olphong. Vaan a cueh tih diklai a suen, hlang mueihla khaw a khui ah a hlinsai pah.
2 “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples. Judah will be besieged, as well as Jerusalem.
Jerusalem te kaepvai pilnam cungkuem ham ngingainah baeldung la ka khueh coeng ne. Judah taengah khaw, Jerusalem taengah khaw vongup neh om ni.
3 On that day, when all the nations of the earth gather against her, I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who would heave it away will be severely injured.
Te khohnin a pha vaengah Jerusalem te pilnam cungkuem ham hnorhih lung la ka khueh ni. Te te aka kuel boeih tah a boe la a boe vetih a taengah diklai namtom boeih tingtun uh ni.
4 On that day, declares the LORD, I will strike every horse with panic, and every rider with madness. I will keep a watchful eye on the house of Judah, but I will strike with blindness all the horses of the nations.
He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Te khohnin ah tah marhang boeih te lungmitnah neh, a sokah aka ngol te pavai neh ka ngawn ni. Judah imkhui soah ka mik ka dai suidae pilnam kah marhang boeih tah mikdael neh ka ngawn ni.
5 Then the leaders of Judah will say in their hearts: ‘The people of Jerusalem are my strength, for the LORD of Hosts is their God.’
Te vaengah Judah khoboei rhoek loh a lungbuei ah, “A Pathen caempuei BOEIPA rhangneh Jerusalem kah khosa rhoek tah kai ham thaomnah,” a ti uh ni.
6 On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among the sheaves; they will consume all the peoples around them on the right and on the left, while the people of Jerusalem remain secure there.
Tekah khohnin ah tah Judah khoboei rhoek te thing dongkah baeldung hmai bangla, cangpa lakli kah hmaithoi hmai bangla ka khueh ni. Te vaengah kaepvai banvoei bantang kah pilnam boeih te a hlawp ni. Tedae Jerusalem tah amah hmuen la Jerusalem ah kho a sak ni.
7 The LORD will save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and of the people of Jerusalem may not be greater than that of Judah.
BOEIPA loh Judah kah dap te lamhma la a khang ni. Te daengah ni David im kah boeimang neh Jerusalem khosa rhoek kah boeimang te Judah lakah a rhoeng pawt eh.
8 On that day the LORD will defend the people of Jerusalem, so that the weakest among them will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of the LORD going before them.
Te khohnin ah BOEIPA loh Jerusalem kah khosa ham a tungaep pah ni. Amih lakli kah aka hlinghlawk khaw te khohnin ah tah David neh David imkhui bangla, Pathen bangla, amih mikhmuh kah BOEIPA puencawn bangla om uh ni.
9 So on that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
Te khohnin ah Jerusalem aka muk namtom boeih te mitmoeng sak ham ka tlap ni.
10 Then I will pour out on the house of David and on the people of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and prayer, and they will look on Me, the One they have pierced. They will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for Him as one grieves for a firstborn son.
David imkhui so neh Jerusalem kah khosa rhoek soah mikdaithen neh huithuinah mueihla ka lun pah ni. Te vaengah a thun rhoek long tah kai he m'paelki uh ni. Oingaih cangloeng kah rhaengsaelung bangla anih ham rhaengsae uh ni. Caming ham a phaep uh bangla anih ham phaep uh ni.
11 On that day the wailing in Jerusalem will be as great as the wailing of Hadad-rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.
Te khohnin ah Megiddo kolbawn kah Hadadrimmon rhaengsaelung bangla Jerusalem ah rhaengsaelung puh ni.
12 The land will mourn, each clan on its own: the clan of the house of David and their wives, the clan of the house of Nathan and their wives,
Khohmuen te koca, koca ham bueng, David imkhui koca khaw amah bueng, a yuu rhoek khaw amah bueng, Nathan imkhui koca khaw amah bueng, a yuu rhoek khaw amah bueng,
13 the clan of the house of Levi and their wives, the clan of Shimei and their wives,
Levi imkhui koca khaw amah bueng, a yuu rhoek khaw amah bueng, Shimei koca khaw amah bueng, a yuu rhoek khaw amah bueng.
14 and all the remaining clans and their wives.
Koca cungkuem khui lamkah aka sueng koca rhoek khaw, amah koca ham, a yuu rhoek khaw amamih ham a rhaengsae ni.
