Zechariah 8

1 The word of Jehovah of hosts came to me.

Ransahu BAWIPA e lawk kai koe bout ka phat e teh,

2 Thus says Jehovah of hosts: "I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath."

Ransahu BAWIPA ni a dei e lawk teh, ka lung a tangpoung toe. Puenghoi ka lungkhuek teh ahni hanlah ka lung a tang toe.

3 Thus says Jehovah: "I have returned to Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be called 'The City of Truth;' and the mountain of Jehovah of hosts, 'The Holy Mountain.'"

Ransahu BAWIPA ni a dei e lawk teh, Zion mon dawk bout ka tho toe. Jerusalem khopui dawk bout ka o han. Jerusalem teh ka khopui telah ka ti vaiteh ransahu BAWIPA e monpui hoi mon kathoung telah ati awh han.

4 Thus says Jehovah of hosts: "Old men and old women will again dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, every man with his staff in his hand for very age.

Ransahu BAWIPA ni a dei e lawk teh, kamatong e napui hoi tongpa, a kum kacue ni teh sonron ka sonron e matawng pueng, Jerusalem lamnaw dawk ao awh han rah.

5 The streets of the city will be full of boys and girls playing in its streets."

Khopui e lamthungnaw dawk ka paitun e napui camonaw hoi khik akawi han.

6 Thus says Jehovah of hosts: "If it is marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be marvelous in my eyes?" says Jehovah of hosts.

Bout a dei e lawk teh, hottelah hno kaawm e hah atu kacawiraenaw hmalah kângairu hanlah ao ei, kaie ka hmalah lateh kângairu lah kaawm han namaw telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a ti.

7 Thus says Jehovah of hosts: "Look, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;

Ransahu BAWIPA ni a dei e lawk teh, ka taminaw teh kanîtho ram lahoi thoseh, Kanîloum ram lahoi thoseh, ka rungngang vaiteh,

8 and I will bring them, and they will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and they will be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness."

Jerusalem khothung o sak hanlah ka bankhai han. Lawk katang hoi, lannae phunglawk hoi ahnimouh teh ka tami lah ao awh vaiteh, kai haiyah ahnimae BAWIPA lah ka o pouh han.

9 Thus says Jehovah of hosts: "Let your hands be strong, you who hear in these days these words from the mouth of the prophets who were in the day that the foundation of the house of Jehovah of hosts was laid, even the temple, that it might be built.

Ransahu BAWIPA ni a dei e lawk teh, bawkim sak hanelah, ransahu BAWIPA e im khomdu pabonae tueng nah kaawm e profetnaw ni a dei e lawk hah atu na ka thai e nangmae kut dawkvah na tha patho awh.

10 For before those days there was no wages for man, nor any wages for an animal; neither was there any peace to him who went out or came in, because of the adversary. For I set all men everyone against his neighbor.

Hote tueng a pha hoehnahlan, tami ni a coe hane awm hoeh. Kâen katâcawtnaw teh taran ao dawkvah a lungmawng awh hoeh. Kai ni taminaw pueng buet touh hoi buet touh ka kâtaran sak.

11 But now I will not be to the remnant of this people as in the former days," says Jehovah of hosts.

Atu e taminaw koe yampa e patetlah ka sak mahoeh telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a ti.

12 "For the seed of peace and the vine will yield its fruit, and the ground will give its increase, and the heavens will give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these things.

Lawkduem lahoi cati a patue awh han. Misurkung ni a paw thoseh, talai ni apung nahanelah thoseh, kalvan ni tadamtui thoseh, na poe awh han. Kacawirae hete taminaw hanlah, hete hno a coe thai awh nahanlah ka sak pouh han.

13 It shall come to pass that, as you were a curse among the nations, house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and you shall be a blessing. Do not be afraid. Let your hands be strong."

Oe Judah hoi Isarel miphunnaw, nangmanaw teh miphun alouknaw koe thoebo lah ouk na o a e patetlah yawhawi na hmu awh nahanlah, Kai ni na rungngang awh han. Puen laipalah na kut thasai sak awh.

14 For thus says Jehovah of hosts: "As I thought to do evil to you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath," says Jehovah of hosts, "and I did not repent;

Ransahu BAWIPA ni a dei e lawk teh, nangmae mintoenaw ni kai lung na khuek sak awh navah, yon sak han telah pan kângai laipalah ka kâcai e patetlah,

15 so again have I thought in these days to do good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. Do not be afraid.

Sahnin e atueng dawk Jerusalem khopui hoi Judah miphun teh yawhawi ka poe han telah, bout ka kâcai. Puen awh hanh telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a ti.

16 These are the things that you shall do: speak every man the truth with his neighbor. Execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates,

Nangmouh ni na sak awh han e teh, buet touh hoi buet touh lawk kahman e hah kâdei awh. Khopui longkha koe kalan lah lawkceng awh nateh, kâtoenae naw hah sak nahanlah laideitâtueng awh.

17 and let none of you devise evil in your hearts against his neighbor, and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate," says Jehovah.

Buet touh hoi buet touh kahawihoehe khopouknae tawn awh hanh. Kahawi hoeh e thoekâbonae sak e hah lungpataw awh hanh. Hot patet e tawksaknae naw teh kai ni ka panuet telah a ti.

18 The word of Jehovah of hosts came to me.

Ransahu BAWIPA e lawk kai koe bout ka tho e teh,

19 Thus says Jehovah of hosts: "The fasts of the fourth fifth, seventh, and tenth months shall be for the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts. Therefore love truth and peace."

Ransahu BAWIPA ni thapa yung pali nah rawcahainae, yung panga nah rawcahainae, yung sari nah rawcahainae, ayung tako nah rawcahainae, Judah miphunnaw ni a lunghawi awh teh pawitonae tueng lah ao han. Lannae hoi roumnae hah lungpataw awh haw.

20 Thus says Jehovah of hosts: "Many peoples and the inhabitants of many cities will yet come;

Ransahu BAWIPA ni a dei e lawk teh, khoca ramca naw hoi tami aphunphun naw moikapap a tho awh han.

21 and the inhabitants of one shall go to another, saying, 'Let us go speedily to entreat the favor of Jehovah, and to seek Jehovah of hosts. I will go also.'

Khopui dawk kaawm ni yah alouke khopui dawk kaawm e naw koe a cei teh, BAWIPA hmalah ratoum hanelah thoseh, ransahu BAWIPA tawng hanelah thoseh, atangcalah cet awh sei telah ati awh vaiteh, kai hai ka cei han telah na kaw awh han.

22 Yes, many peoples and strong nations will come to seek Jehovah of hosts in Jerusalem, and to entreat the favor of Jehovah."

Ram kalennaw, miphunnaw niyah ransahu BAWIPA hah Jerusalem khopui dawk a tawng awh vaiteh BAWIPA hmalah ratoum hanelah a tho awh han.

23 Thus says Jehovah of hosts: "In those days, ten men will take hold, out of all the languages of the nations, they will take hold of the skirt of him who is a Jew, saying, 'We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.'"

Hat navah, lawk aphunphun kapan thai e miphun alouklouk naw koevah tami hra touh ni Judah taminaw e a hni pawica a tek vaiteh, BAWIPA teh nangmouh hoi rei ao tie ka thai awh teh nangmouh hoi cungtalah ka cei han telah ati awh han telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a ti.
