Zechariah 9
1 This is the burden of the word of the LORD against the land of Hadrach and Damascus its resting place— for the eyes of men and of all the tribes of Israel are upon the LORD —
Hadrak khohmuen neh a duemnah, Damasku ham BOEIPA kah olrhuh ol. Hlang neh Israel koca boeih kah a mik he, BOEIPA dongah ni a om.
2 and also against Hamath, which borders it, as well as Tyre and Sidon, though they are very shrewd.
A taengah rhi aka suem Khamath khaw, bahoeng aka cueih Tyre neh Sidon khaw om.
3 Tyre has built herself a fortress; she has heaped up silver like dust, and gold like the dirt of the streets.
Tyre loh amah hamla vongup a sak tih, cak te laipi bangla, sui khaw vongvoel kah tangnong bangla a hmoek.
4 Behold, the Lord will impoverish her and cast her wealth into the sea, and she will be consumed by fire.
Ka Boeipa loh anih te a talh vetih, a caem khaw tuitunli la a ngawn pah ni he. Te phoeiah anih te, hmai loh a hlawp pawn ni.
5 Ashkelon will see and fear; Gaza will writhe in agony, as will Ekron, for her hope will wither. There will cease to be a king in Gaza, and Ashkelon will be uninhabited.
Ashkelon loh a hmuh vaengah a rhih vetih, Gaza khaw muep poi ni. Ekron khaw a uepnah ham yak ni. Gaza lamkah manghai milh vetih, Ashkelon khaw khosak tal ni.
6 A mixed race will occupy Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
Ashdod ah halhca loh kho a sak vetih, Philisti kah hoemdamnah ka khoe ni.
7 I will remove the blood from their mouths and the abominations from between their teeth. Then they too will become a remnant for our God; they will become like a clan in Judah, and Ekron will be like the Jebusites.
A ka lamkah a thii khaw, a no laklo lamkah a sarhingkoi khaw, ka khoe pah ni. Amah khaw mamih kah Pathen hamla sueng vetih, Judah ah khoboei la om ni. Te vaengah Ekron te Jebusi bangla om ni.
8 But I will camp around My house because of an army, because of those who march to and fro, and never again will an oppressor overrun My people, for now I keep watch with My own eyes.
Ka im he, aka paan tih aka mael taeng lamloh, rhaltawt neh ka rhaeh thil ni. Ka mik neh ka hmuh coeng dongah, tueihno loh amih te paan voel mahpawh.
9 Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O Daughter of Jerusalem! See, your King comes to you, righteous and victorious, humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
Zion nu aw bahoeng omngaih laeh, Jerusalem nu aw yuhui laeh. Na manghai te na taengah a dueng la ha pai coeng ke. Amah loh mangdaeng te a khang. Te dongah laak so neh laaknu a ca laaktal dongah ngol.
10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem, and the bow of war will be broken. Then He will proclaim peace to the nations. His dominion will extend from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates to the ends of the earth.
Ephraim lamkah leng neh Jerusalem lamkah kah marhang khaw ka hnawt vetih, caemtloek lii khaw tlawt ni. Namtom taengah rhoepnah a thui vetih, a boeinah he tuitun lamloh tuitun duela, tuiva lamloh kho bawt duela a pha ni.
11 As for you, because of the blood of My covenant, I will release your prisoners from the waterless pit.
Nang khaw na paipi thii rhangneh na thongtla pataeng a khuiah tui aka om pawh tangrhom lamloh ka hlah ni.
12 Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope; even today I declare that I will restore to you double.
Ngaiuepnah khuikah thongtla rhoek, lunghim taengla mael uh laeh, tahae khohnin ah pataeng a doek tih nang taengah rhaepnit la kan thuung ni.
13 For I will bend Judah as My bow and fit it with Ephraim. I will rouse your sons, O Zion, against the sons of Greece. I will make you like the sword of a mighty man.
Judah te kamah hamla lii la ka phuk vetih, Ephraim khaw cung ni. Greek nang ca rhoek taengah Zion nang ca rhoek te kan haeng vetih, nang te hlangrhalh kah cunghang bangla kang khueh ni.
14 Then the LORD will appear over them, and His arrow will go forth like lightning. The Lord GOD will sound the ram’s horn and advance in the whirlwinds of the south.
BOEIPA he amih soah phoe vetih, a thaltang te rhaek bangla a khuen ni. Te vaengah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh tuki te a ueng vetih, tuithim hlipuei neh cet ni.
15 The LORD of Hosts will shield them. They will destroy and conquer with slingstones; they will drink and roar as with wine. And they will be filled like sprinkling bowls, drenched like the corners of the altar.
Caempuei BOEIPA loh amih te a tungaep ni. Te vaengah a caak uh vetih, payai lung te a khoem uh ni. Misurtui vaengkah bangla, a ok vetih umya uh ni. Te phoeiah tah baelcak bangla, hmueihtuk rhungsut bangla hah uh ni.
16 On that day the LORD their God will save them as the flock of His people; for like jewels in a crown they will sparkle over His land.
Te khohnin ah tah, amih te a Pathen BOEIPA loh, a pilnam tuping la, a khohmuen ah aka vang rhuisam lung la a khang ni.
17 How lovely they will be, and how beautiful! Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine, the young women.
A kawnthen khaw bahoeng then, a sakthen khaw bahoeng then. Tongpang te cangpai neh, oila khaw misur thai neh thaihsu ni.
