< Zechariah 1 >

1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of YHWH unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
Darius vaipoh kumni le lha get channa Iddo themgao chapa Berechiah chapa Zechariah komma Pakai thupeh ahung lhungin hitin aseije.
2 YHWH hath been sore displeased with your fathers.
Napateu chunga Pakai alung hang lheh jingin ahi.
3 Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith YHWH of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith YHWH of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith YHWH of hosts.
Hijeh chun amaho kommah chun thaneipen Pakaiyin hitin ati, achutileh keijong nangho kom a kahung kile kitding ahi tin thaneipen Pakaiyin aseije.
4 Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith YHWH of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith YHWH.
Napu napateo bangin chonhih’un, amaho jaha chu themgao hon lhang asap piuve, thaneipen Pakaiyin aseijin ase lamma nachon nauva kon leh thilse na bolnauva kon in hungkile kit’uvintin aseije. Ahivangin amahon angai pouvin khohsah injong anei pouve, tin Pakaiyin aseije.
5 Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever?
Napu napateu chu tuahi hoilamma umma hitauvem? Amaho leh themgao ho chu sotpeha thigamma ahitauve.
6 But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? and they returned and said, Like as YHWH of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us.
Ahinlah epi hijongleh kalhachate themgao komma kana phondoh ho jouse chu napu napateu khanglaijin kaseibang bangin ana guilhung sohtan ahi. Hiche dungjui chun amahon kisih in alungu ana heijun, Eihon thaneipen Pakaija kon in imudiu lom imu tauve, Aman kahin bolding ahi ati dungjuijin ahin tongdoh tan ahi.
7 Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of YHWH unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
Darius leng chan kumni lhinna shebath lha kehni somni leh ni li channin, themgao Iddo chapa Berachia chapa Zechariah komma Pakai thupeh ahung lhung in ahi.
8 I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white.
Keiman phaicham khatnah huisum thing laha sakol sankhat anadingin achung a pasal khat ana tou chu jan nin gaovin kanamun ahi. Anunglamma chun sakol asan, abuong chuleh akaang jong ana ummin ahi.
9 Then said I, O my master, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these be.
Keiman kakomma thusei vantil komma chun “ka Pakai hiche sakol hoipenhi ipi vetsah naham katin ahileh vantil chun na hetsah nang’e ati.
10 And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom YHWH hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.
Hichun huisum thing laha ding mipa hin adonbut in, hicheng pihi Pakaiyin leiset pumpi khol le dinga asohdoh ahiuve ati.
11 And they answered the angel of YHWH that stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.
Huisum phung laha ding Pakai vantil komma chun sakol chunga tou adangho chun aseijun, “keihon leiset pumpi ka khollun, leiset chunghi lungmong in aum nauve”atiuve.
12 Then the angel of YHWH answered and said, O YHWH of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?
Hichehi ajah phatnin Pakai vantil chu hitihin ataove. Vo hatchungnung Pakai kum som sagi sung ahi nangma Jerusalem leh Judah khopiho chunga hung lung hanga nahitam, itih chan gei hi amaho chunga khotona na musah loulai ding ham.
13 And YHWH answered the angel that talked with me with good words and comfortable words.
Keikoma thusei vantil komma chun Pakaiyin lungmonna thucheng in ana donbut in ahi.
14 So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith YHWH of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
Hitichun kakihoulimpi vantil chun kakomma hitin anasei jin ahi. Hatchungnung Pakai chun hitin aseije. Keiman Jerusalem le Zion phatna dinghi gelkhoh naleh khotona kanei lheh jing in ahi.
15 And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.
Keiman tu tua chamna leh lungmonga um namdang ho komma kalung ahang lheh jeng in kamite chunga vang kaha lunghan pon ahi. Namdang hohin aha bolset val tauvin ahi.
16 Therefore thus saith YHWH; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith YHWH of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.
Hijeh chun Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, keima Jerusalema khotona neijin kahung kile tai. Kahouin kisa phading Chuleh Jerusalem kithah semphat ding ahi. tin hatchungnung Pakaiyin aseiye.
17 Cry yet, saying, Thus saith YHWH of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and YHWH shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
Hatchungnung Pakijin jong hitin aseiye, Israel khopi ho bulhingset a hung kile dohding chuteng leh Pakai Zion alung monsahding chuleh Jerusalema dinga alahlut ding ahi.
18 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.
Hijouchun kadah in kavetleh saki li kamui
19 And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
Keima eiki houlimpi vantil kom achun hichehi ipi tina ham tia kadohleh, aman eidonbut in,” hiche saki hohin chitin namtin laha Judah, Israel chuleh Jerusalem ana lhocheh a chu ahiuve.
20 And YHWH shewed me four carpenters.
Chuin Pakaiyin thihkheng them mili eivetsah e.
21 Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.
Amaho hi ipi dinga hung hiuvam tia ka doh leh, vantil chun eidonbut in, hiche saki le nam ho hi Judahte muntinna ana thecheh ana sunem ho chu ahiuve. Tun hiche thihkheng them hohin hiche nam hohi kichatsah a sonlhu ding leh sumang dinga hung ahiuve ati.
