Zechariah 10
1 Ask the Lord for rain in springtime, for he makes the rainclouds and sends showers to grow crops for everyone.
A hnukkhu e khorak tue navah, khorak nahanlah BAWIPA koe ratoum awh. Keitat sak e BAWIPA ni khorak sak vaiteh, tami pueng hanlah law dawk caticamu a pâw sak han.
2 Household idols give worthless answers, fortune-tellers tell lies, while interpreters of dreams just make things up and offer only false hope. As a result, people wander aimlessly like sheep, suffering because there is no shepherd.
Terah e meikaphawknaw ni teh ahrawnghrang doeh a dei awh. Profet ka tawk e taminaw ni vision kaphawk a hmu awh teh, laithoe e mang a dei awh. Ayawmyin lah lung a kâpahawi awh. Hatdawkvah, tuhunaw patetlah a kâva teh, tu khoumkung ao hoeh dawkvah tunaw a roedeng awh.
3 I am angry with the shepherds, I will punish the leaders. For the Lord Almighty cares for his flock, the people of Judah, and will make them like his splendid warhorse.
Tukhoumnaw ka lungkhuek sin teh, hmaetannaw lawk ka ceng vaiteh ransahu BAWIPA ni amae tuhu Judah miphun a khetyawt vaiteh bawirengnae ka coe e taran ka tuk e marang patetlah kangcoung sak han.
4 From the people of Judah will come the cornerstone, from them the tent-peg, the bow used in battle—all their rulers together.
Hote miphun dawk hoi takin lung, cingco, taran tuknae licung, bawinaw pueng ni a tâco awh han.
5 They will be like warriors going into battle, trampling their enemies in the mud. Because the Lord is with them they will fight and defeat the enemy cavalry.
Ahnimouh teh taran a tuk awh navah, lamthung dawk e tangdong ka coungroe e athakaawme taminaw patetlah ao han. BAWIPA e lungmanae a coe awh dawkvah, taran a tuk awh vaiteh, marangransanaw yeirai a po sak han.
6 I will strengthen the people of Judah; I will save the people of Joseph. I will bring them back home because I am concerned for them. It will be like I had never rejected them, for I am the Lord their God and I will answer their cries for help.
Judah miphun haiyah ka caksak han. Joseph miphun haiyah kahlout sak han. Ahnimanaw ka pahren dawkvah hmuen ka poe han. Ahnimouh teh pâlei boihoeh e patetlah ao awh han. Kai teh ahnimae Jehovah Cathut lah ka o teh ahnimae lawk ka thai han.
7 The people of Ephraim will become like warriors, and they will become so happy—as if they had drunk wine. Their children will see what is happening and will be glad too, joyful in the Lord.
Ephraim miphunnaw teh athakaawme tami patetlah a tha ao awh han. Misur tui khak ka boum e patetlah a lunghawi awh han. A catounnaw ni hmawt awh vaiteh a lunghawi awh han, BAWIPA kâuep hoi a lunghawi awh han.
8 I will whistle to them and they will run to me. I will rescue them, and there will be as many as there were before.
Ahnimouh ka hroecoe vaiteh, ka kamkhueng sak han. Ahnimouh ni kaie ratangnae hah a hmu awh vaiteh, hmaloe e patetlah bout a pungdaw awh han.
9 I have scattered them like seed among the nations, and in distant places they will remember me. They will bring up their children, and together they will return.
Ahnimouh teh Jentelnaw koe cati patue e patetlah ka patue han. Kho hla ram dawk hoi kai na doun awh vaiteh ca catounnaw hoi cungtalah a hring lahoi bout a ban awh han.
10 I will bring them back from the land of Egypt; I will gather them from Assyria. I will bring them to Gilead and Lebanon, and there won't be enough room for them!
Ahnimouh teh Izip ram hoi bout ka hrawi awh han. Assiria hai kakaw vaiteh ka pâkhueng han. Gilead ram hoi Lebanon ram lah bout ka hrawi vaiteh ahnimouh ao nahan e talai ni cawng mahoeh.
11 They will pass through the sea of trouble and strike the waves of the sea, and the waters of the Nile will dry up. Assyria's pride will be brought down, and Egypt's rule will pass away.
Tuipui lungui a cei teh, a rektap awh vaiteh, tuicapanaw a hem awh han. Kadung poung e tuipui kaawm e naw pueng rem a hak han. Assiria naw e lunglennae a pâpho pouh vaiteh Izip bawi e kâtawnnae hai a kahma han.
12 I will make them strong in the Lord, and they will follow all he says, declares the Lord.
Ahnimouh teh BAWIPA pawlawk hoi ka caksak han. A min kâuep laihoi a kâhei vaiteh a cei awh han telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
