Zechariah 8
1 And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying:
Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh let,
2 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: I have been jealous for Sion with a great jealousy, and with a great indignation have I been jealous for her.
misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, Zion nuiah paroeai uthaih ka tawnh, anih nuiah hmai kanung parai palungphuihaih ka tawnh, tiah thuih.
3 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: I am returned to Sion, and I will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called The city of truth, and the mountain of the Lord of hosts, The sanctified mountain.
Angraeng mah, Zion khaeah kam laem let moe, Jerusalem thungah ka oh han: Jerusalem loe Loktang Vangpui, tiah kawk o ueloe, misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng ih Mae loe, Kaciim Mae, tiah kawk o tih, tiah thuih.
4 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem: and every man with his staff in his hand through multitude of days.
Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, Nongpata mitong hoi nongpa mitongnawk loe Jerusalem ih loklamnawk ah anghnu o ueloe, saning coeh o parai boeh pongah, ban ah cunghet to sin o boih tih.
5 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls, playing in the streets thereof.
Vangpui thung ih loklamnawk loe nawkta nongpa hoi nongpatanawk amhaihaih hoiah koi tih, tiah thuih.
6 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: If it seem hard in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days: shall it be hard in my eyes, saith the Lord of hosts?
Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, To na niah loe haeah kanghmat kaminawk hanah dawnrai hmuen ah om tih, toe kai han loe dawnrai hmuen ah om tih maw? tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih.
7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold I will save my people from the land of the east, and from the land of the going down of the sun.
Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, Khenah, ni angyae hoi ni duem prae bangah kaom, kaimah ih kaminawk to ka pahlong han.
8 And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God in truth and in justice.
Jerusalem ah oh hanah nihcae to ka hoih han: nihcae loe kai ih kami ah om o ueloe, kai loe loktang hoi toenghaih bangah nihcae ih Sithaw ah ka oh han, tiah thuih.
9 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Let your hands be strengthened, you that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, in the day that the house of the Lord of hosts was founded, that the temple might be built.
Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng ih im sak na niah kaom tahmaanawk ih lok kathaih nangcae mah, tempul to na sak o thai hanah, na ban thacak o sak ah.
10 For before those days there was no hire for men, neither was there hire for beasts, neither was there peace to him that came in, nor to him that went out, because of the tribulation: and I let all men go every one against his neighbour.
Hae tiah om ai nathuem ah loe kami hoi moi hanah toksakhaih atho to om ai; kaminawk boih hoi a taeng ih kaminawk maeto hoi maeto misa ah kang coengsak pongah, pacaekthlaekhaih to oh moe, tacawt kami hoi akun kaminawk hanah monghaih om ai.
11 But now I will not deal with the remnant of this people according to the former days, saith the Lord of hosts.
Toe vaihi loe kanghmat kaminawk to canghnii ih kaminawk baktiah ka sah mak ai, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih.
12 But there shall be the seed of peace: the vine shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew: and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.
Atii loe kahoih ah amprawk ueloe, misur doeh athai tih; long mah caaknaek to tacawtsak ueloe, vannawk mah dantui to krahsak tih: haeah kanghmat kaminawk hanah hae hmuennawk boih qawk ah ka toepsak han.
13 And it shall come to pass, that as you were a curse among the Gentiles, O house of Juda, and house of Israel: so will I save you, and you shall be a blessing: fear not, let your hands be strengthened.
Nangcae loe Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk salakah tangoenghaih hnu kami ah na oh o baktih toengah, Aw Judah hoi Israel imthung takohnawk, nangcae to kang pahlong han, to naah nangcae loe tahamhoih kami ah na om o tih: zii hmah, na ban thacak o sak ah, tiah a naa.
14 For thus saith the Lord of hosts: As I purposed to afflict you, when your fathers had provoked me to wrath, saith the Lord,
Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, Nangcae ampanawk mah kai palung ang phui o sak naah, nangcae to dan ka paek han, tiah ka thuih ih lok to ka zuk let ai;
15 And I had no mercy: so turning again I have thought in these days to do good to the house of Juda, and Jerusalem: fear not.
vaihni loe Jerusalem hoi Judah imthung takoh ah kahoih hmuen sak han kam sak boeh; zii o hmah.
16 These then are the things, which you shall do: Speak ye truth every one to his neighbour: judge ye truth and judgment of peace in your gates.
Hae baktih hmuennawk hae na sak o han oh; kami boih mah angmah ih imtaeng kaminawk khaeah loktang lok to thui oh; lokcaek naah loktang lok, toenghaih lok, monghaih hoiah lok to takhroek oh:
17 And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his friend: and love not a false oath: for all these are the things that I hate, saith the Lord.
na imtaeng kami nuiah kahoih ai hmuen to poek o hmah; amsoem ai lokkamhaih to koeh o hmah: hae tiah sak ih hmuennawk loe ka hnukma, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
18 And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying:
Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh let bae,
19 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth shall be to the house of Juda, joy, and gladness, and great solemnities: only love ye truth and peace.
misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, Khrah palito, khrah pangato, khrah sarihto hoi khrah hato, buhzahhaihnawk loe Judah imthung takoh han oephaih, anghoehaih hoi nawmhaih poih ah om tih; to pongah loktang hoi angdaehhaih to palung oh, tiah thuih.
20 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, until people come, and dwell in many cities,
Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, Ahmuen kruekah kaom vangpui ih kaminawk to angzo o tih:
21 And the inhabitants go one to another, saying: Let us go, and entreat the face of the Lord, and let us seek the Lord of hosts: I also will go.
vangpui maeto thung kaom kaminawk loe kalah vangpui bangah caeh o ueloe, Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng to pakrong o si, Angraeng hmaa ah lawkthuih han karangah caeh o si, kai doeh ka caeh toeng han, tiah thui o tih.
22 And many peoples, and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to entreat the face of the Lord.
Ue, pop parai kaminawk hoi thacak praenawk mah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng to pakrong moe, Angraeng hmaa ah lawkthuih hanah Jerusalem ah angzo o tih, tiah a thuih.
23 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: In those days, wherein ten men of all languages of the Gentiles shall take hold, and shall hold fast the shirt of one that is a Jew, saying: We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.
Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, To na niah loe lok kalah apae praenawk thung ih kaminawk hato angzo o ueloe, Judah kami maeto ih kahni atom to patawn pae o caeng tih, nangcae khaeah Sithaw oh, tiah ka thaih o pongah, na hnukah kang zoh o toeng han, tiah thui o tih, tiah thuih.
