Zechariah 8
1 Then the Lord Almighty sent another message to me.
Hiche jou chun hatchungnung Pakaija kon in thupeh khat ahung kitnin hitin ati,
2 This is what the Lord Almighty says. I am jealously protective of the people of Zion; I am extremely passionate about them.
Hatchungnung Pakaiyin hitin aseije, Zion kangailut nahi agil lheh jeng in ahi, Jerusalem ka ngailut nahin eival-lhum jeng in ahi.
3 This is what the Lord says. I have returned to Zion, and I will live in Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the “Faithful City,” and the mountain of the Lord Almighty the “Holy Mountain.”
Tun Pakaiyin hitin aseije, keima Zion ah kahung kilekit tai chuleh keima Jerusalema kachen ding ahi, chuteng leh Jerusalem khopi chu kitahna khopi kiti ding ahi, hatchungnung Pakai molchu moltheng kiti ding ahi.
4 This is what the Lord Almighty says. Old people will be able to sit again in the streets of Jerusalem, each with their walking sticks they need because of their age.
Hichehi hatchungnung pen Pakaiyin hitin aseije, tesepu le tehsepi ho Jerusalem lam lhongpia hi mol akiphouva vahlediu khopi ningkoija toukhom diu ahi.
5 The streets will be full of boys and girls playing happily.
Khopi lamlhongpia chu pasal chapang holeh numei chapang ho akichemma dimset diu ahi.
6 This is what the Lord Almighty says. It may seem too good to be true now, to you who remain of my people in these days. But is it impossible for me to do? asks the Lord Almighty.
Hichehi hatchungnung pen Pakaiyin aseije tutahin hitiho chu Pathen mite hon lhom chalah-a hin hithei dingin gel ahahsai ahinla hatchungnungpen Pakai dinga ipi ahahsa um ding ham? tin hatchungnung Pakaiyin aseije.
7 This is what the Lord Almighty says. I will save my people from the countries to the east and to the west.
Hichehi hatchungnung Pakaiyin asei ahi, veovin keiman kamite solamma konle lhumlama konna ka huhdoh ding ahi.
8 I will bring them back and they will live in Jerusalem, and they will be my people and I will be their God, trustworthy and true.
Keiman ainnu Jerusalema lungmong sella kachensah diu ahi. Amahohi kamiteu hiding, chuleh keimahi a Pathenu kahiding thudih tahle kitahna neitah a achung'uva kavaihom ding ahi.
9 This is what the Lord Almighty says. Be strong, so that the Temple may be completed. Everyone who is here today is listening to the same words from the prophets who were present on the day when the foundation of the Lord Almighty's Temple was laid.
Thaneipen Pakaiyin hitin aseije, hat inlang na natoh hi tongchai in, hatchungnungpen Pakaiyin aseije, hiche Hou-in hi aleibul akigonna pat in themgao hon in asah chai diu daan ana seisau ahitai.
10 Before that time there wasn't enough for people or for animals. No one could live normally because they were not safe from their enemies, and I set everyone against each other.
Hou-in natoh ahung kipat tilchun natongho thaman ding leh gancha thaman peh ding sum ana umpon, jetle veija galmi ana umjeh in chele vale jong tijat anauma, ajehchu keiman mitinchu kana kidouto sahin ahi.
11 But now I won't treat those who remain of my people like I treated them before, declares the Lord Almighty.
Tunvang kamite amoh chengse chu tumasanga kabol lou ding ahitai tin hatchungnungpen Pakaiyin aseijin ahi.
12 They will sow in peace; the vine will produce grapes; the soil will grow crops and the heavens will water them. I will make sure this happens to all those who remain of this people.
Ajehchu keiman nangho lah a chamdella phattheina muchi kitu tan ahi. Lengpithei hung gaphat in leiset in anche louhing hin sepdoh intin chuleh vanna konin daitwi hungneng ding ahitai. Hitichun keiman Judah le Israel amoh chengse chu phatthei bohna gou kalosah ding ahi.
13 People of Judah and Israel: just as you were considered a curse among the nations, so I will save you and you will become a blessing. Don't be afraid! Be strong!
Namdang laha Judah le Israel chu sapset changmi kana hisah ahi. Ahinla hichu hita lou ding, tuahi keiman nanghohi kahuhdoh a phatthei konna nam mite kahisah diu ahi. Hijeh chun kicha hih in, hat in lang Hou-in sahphat kitna natohchu pantan.
14 For this is what the Lord Almighty says: I decided to bring disaster on you when your forefathers angered me and I did not change my mind.
Ajeh chu hiche hi hatchungnung Pakaiyin asei ahi. Napu napateu vin eina phin lunghang jeh in nangho chu kana engbol nahiuve.
15 But now I have made up my mind to do good to Jerusalem and the people of Judah. Don't be afraid!
Tunvang Judah mipite leh Jerusalem phattheiboh dinga gel lhuhna kanei ahitai. Hijeh chun kicha hih in,
16 This what you have to do: Tell each other the truth. In your courts judge honestly and truthfully, which makes for peace.
Ahinla nangin hichehi na bol tei ding ahi. Khat le khat thutah kiseipeh touvin, chamna umdoh theina dingin thudih in thutan-un.
17 Don't think up evil schemes against one another. Stop your love of lies. I hate all this, declares the Lord.
Lunggel dihlouvin kichangto hih-un, thutah'a na kihahsel na petchah in lang jouleh nal seija na kipehna su tang jong in,
18 The Lord Almighty gave me another message.
Hiche ahin hatchungnung Pakaija kon thupeh khat ahung lhung kitne,
19 This is what the Lord Almighty says: The fasts you observe in the fourth, fifth, seventh, and tenth month will become times of joy and happiness for the people of Judah—they will be festivals of celebration. But love truth and peace.
Hichehi hatchungnung Pakaija konna thupeh ahi. Lhali lhinna a na an-ngolna lha-nga channa a na-angolna a, lhasagi lhinna a na an-ngolna chuleh lhasom lhinna a na an-ngolna hochu Juda mipite dinga thanop nale kipana chuleh haldohna an-ngol hihen. Hijehchun thutahle chamna chu kolchah un,
20 This is what the Lord Almighty says: People from many nations and cities will yet come to Jerusalem,
Hichehi hatchungnung Pathen in aseije, vannoi leiset khopia kon in chitin namtin mipite Jerusalema hung vahlut diu ahi.
21 going from one city to another saying, “Let us be sure to go and seek the Lord and ask for the blessing of the Lord Almighty. I myself am going!”
Khopi khatna mite chun khopi khatna mite kom ah hungun Pakai phattheiboh thumdingin Jerusalema cheute atidiu ahi. Hatchungnung Pakai hou ding in cheute ati diu ahi keivang kakipattai, ati.
22 Many peoples and powerful nations will come to Jerusalem to ask for the blessing of the Lord Almighty and seek the Lord.
Mitamtah leh thaneitah nam miteho chu Jerusalema hung uvintin hatching nung Pakai phatthei bohna ahung thumdiu ahi.
23 This is what the Lord Almighty says: At that time ten men from different nations and languages will grab hold of the hem of a Jewish man's robe and plead, “Please take us with you for we have heard that God is with you.”
Hatchungnung Pakaiyin hitin aseije, Hiche nikho teng chuleh vannoi leiset a chitin namtin pao tintang a kon in michom chom somlekhat chengin hung uvintin Judah mikhat ponmang tuh uvintin, lungset tah in neikilhon piuvin ajehchu nangho hi Pathen nin na umpi uve tin kaja uve ati ding’u ahi.
