< Zechariah 2 >

1 I lift vp mine eyes againe and looked, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
Ka mik ka huel tih ka sawt vaengah hlang pakhat te a kut dongkah cungnueh rhui neh tarha ana om.
2 Then saide I, Whither goest thou? And he saide vnto me, To measure Ierusalem, that I may see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.
Te phoeiah, “Melam na caeh?” ka ti nah. Te dongah kai te, “Jerusalem he nueh ham, a daang meyet, a yun meyet khaw hmuh hamla,” a ti.
3 And beholde, the Angel that talked with me, went foorth: and another Angel went out to meete him,
Te vaengah kai taengah aka cal puencawn te tarha ha nong tih anih aka doe la puencawn a tloe ha pawk.
4 And saide vnto him, Runne, speake to this yong man, and say, Ierusalem shalbe inhabited without walles, for the multitude of men and cattell therein.
Te phoeiah anih te, “Yong laeh, camoe te thui pah. Hlang neh a khui kah rhamsa te cungkuem coeng tih, Jerusalem te vongah om ni,’ ti nah.
5 For I, saith the Lord, will be vnto her a wall of fire round about, and wil be the glory in the middes of her.
He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. A taengah ka om puei ni. A kaepvai kah hmai vongtung neh a khui ah thangpomnah la ka om ni.
6 Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the North, saith the Lord: for I haue scattered you into the foure winds of the heauen, saith ye Lord.
Anunae, anunae, tlangpuei khohmuen lamloh rhaelrham laeh. BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni. Vaan khohli pali bangla nangmih te kan yaal coeng. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
7 Saue thy selfe, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babel.
Anunae, Zion, Babylon tanu khosa te poenghal laeh.
8 For thus saith the Lord of hostes, After this glory hath hee sent me vnto the nations, which spoyled you: for he that toucheth you, toucheth the apple of his eye.
Te dongah caempuei BOEIPA loh a thui coeng. Thangpomnah hnukah kai loh nangmih aka buem namtom taengla a tueih. Nangmih aka puei loh a mik dongkah mikmu te a puei pah.
9 For beholde, I will lift vp mine hand vpon them: and they shalbe a spoyle to those that serued them, and ye shall knowe, that the Lord of hostes hath sent me.
Kai khaw amih taengah ka kut ka thueng ngawn coeng he. Te dongah a sal rhoek ham kutbuem la om uh ni. Te vaengah caempuei BOEIPA loh kai n'tueih te na ming uh bitni.
10 Reioyce, and be glad, O daughter Zion: for loe, I come, and will dwell in the middes of thee, saith the Lord.
Zion nu, tamhoe lamtah kohoe sak. Ka lo coeng tih na khui ah kho ka sak ni he. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
11 And many nations shall be ioyned to the Lord in that day, and shalbe my people: and I will dwell in the middes of thee, and thou shalt knowe that the Lord of hostes hath sent me vnto thee.
Te khohnin ah tah namtom rhoek te BOEIPA taengla muep naep uh ni. Kamah taengah pilnam la om uh vetih na khui ah kho ka sak ni. Te vaengah caempuei BOEIPA loh nang taengla kai n'tueih te na ming bitni.
12 And the Lord shall inherite Iudah his portion in the holy lande, and shall chuse Ierusalem againe.
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Judah te hmuencim khohmuen ah a khoyo a pang sak vetih Jerusalem te koep a coelh ni.
13 Let all flesh be still before the Lord: for he is raised vp out of his holy place.
Pumsa boeih he BOEIPA mikhmuh ah saah lah hoeih, a hmuencim kah khuirhung lamloh haenghang coeng.
