Zechariah 2

1 I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and look, a man with a measuring line in his hand.

Bout kamoung nah, bangnuenae rui ka sin e tami buet touh ka hmu.

2 Then I asked, "Where are you going?" He said to me, "To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its breadth and what is its length."

Na lah maw na cei han telah ka pacei navah Jerusalem khopui abueng akaw e bangnue hanlah ka cei telah a ti.

3 Look, the angel who talked 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 to him, "Run, speak to this young man, saying, 'Jerusalem will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it.

Jerusalem khocanaw, tami hoi saringnaw apap poung dawkvah khonaw dawk na o awh han.

5 For I,' says YHWH, 'will be to her a wall of fire around it, 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 Come. Come. Flee from the land of the north,' says YHWH; 'for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky,' says YHWH.

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 'Come, Zion. Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.'

Babilon canu koe kaawm e Zion canunaw puenghoi yawng awh leih.

8 For thus says YHWH of hosts: 'For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of my 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, look, I will shake my hand over them, and they will be a spoil to those who served them; and you will know that YHWH of hosts has 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, daughter of Zion; for, look, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of you,' says YHWH.

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 Many nations shall join themselves to YHWH in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell in the midst of you, and you shall know that YHWH of hosts has sent me to you.

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 YHWH will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.

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 YHWH; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation."

Oe, taminaw pueng BAWIPA hmalah sairasuepcalah awm awh, kathounge onae hmuen dawk a thaw toe.
