< Zechariah 2 >

1 And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
Bout kamoung nah, bangnuenae rui ka sin e tami buet touh ka hmu.
2 Then said I: 'Whither goest thou?' And he said unto me: 'To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.'
Na lah maw na cei han telah ka pacei navah Jerusalem khopui abueng akaw e bangnue hanlah ka cei telah a ti.
3 And, behold, the angel that spoke with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
Kai hoi ka pato roi e kalvantami a cei teh, alouke kalvantami ni na dawn teh, nang ni na yawng vaiteh thoundoun koe na dei pouh hane teh,
4 and said unto him: 'Run, speak to this young man, saying: 'Jerusalem shall be inhabited without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein.
Jerusalem khocanaw, tami hoi saringnaw apap poung dawkvah khonaw dawk na o awh han.
5 For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and I will be the glory in the midst of her.
BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, Kai teh khopui kalupnae hmai rapan lah ka o. Khopui lungui haiyah kai teh khopui e bawilennae lah ka o han.
6 Ho, ho, flee then from the land of the north, saith the LORD; for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD.
Oe nangmouh, Oe nangmouh, atunglah hoi yawng awh haw, telah BAWIPA ni ati. Kalvan rahim a takin pali touh koe na ka kahei sak awh toe telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
7 Ho, Zion, escape, thou that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.'
Babilon canu koe kaawm e Zion canunaw puenghoi yawng awh leih.
8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts who sent me after glory unto the nations which spoiled you: 'Surely, he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.
ransahu BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, nangmouh na ka raphoe e miphunnaw aonae koe a bawilennae a kamnue hnukkhu kai na patoun. Nangmouh na ka tek e teh ka mitmu ka tek e doeh.
9 For, behold, I will shake My hand over them, and they shall be a spoil to those that served them'; and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me.
Ahnimouh ka tuk vaiteh a sannaw ka thei pouh han. ransahu BAWIPA ni kai na patoun e heh nangmouh ni na panue awh han.
10 'Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD.
Oe, Zion canu lunghawi hoi la sak haw, kai nangmouh koe ka tho vaiteh nangmouh lungui ka o han telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
11 And many nations shall join themselves to the LORD in that day, and shall be My people, and I will dwell in the midst of thee'; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
Hatnae tueng dawk, taminaw ni BAWIPA koelah a bawk awh vaiteh, Ka tami lah ao awh han. Nang e na lungui ka o han. ransahu BAWIPA ni kai nangmouh koe na patoun tie hah na panue awh han.
12 And the LORD shall inherit Judah as His portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
BAWIPA ni kho kathoung dawk Judah ram hah ama hanlah râw lah a coe vaiteh Jerusalem hah bout a rawi han.
13 Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for He is aroused out of His holy habitation.
Oe, taminaw pueng BAWIPA hmalah sairasuepcalah awm awh, kathounge onae hmuen dawk a thaw toe.
