Zechariah 9
1 An oracle. The word of YHWH is against the land of Hadrach, and will rest upon Damascus; for the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is toward YHWH;
Hadrak khohmuen neh a duemnah, Damasku ham BOEIPA kah olrhuh ol. Hlang neh Israel koca boeih kah a mik he, BOEIPA dongah ni a om.
2 and Hamath, also, which borders on it; Tyre and Sidon, because they are very wise.
A taengah rhi aka suem Khamath khaw, bahoeng aka cueih Tyre neh Sidon khaw om.
3 Tyre built herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver like the dust, and fine gold like the mire of the streets.
Tyre loh amah hamla vongup a sak tih, cak te laipi bangla, sui khaw vongvoel kah tangnong bangla a hmoek.
4 Look, YHWH will dispossess her, and he will strike her power in the sea; and she will be devoured with fire.
Ka Boeipa loh anih te a talh vetih, a caem khaw tuitunli la a ngawn pah ni he. Te phoeiah anih te, hmai loh a hlawp pawn ni.
5 Ashkelon will see it, and fear; Gaza also, and will writhe in agony; as will Ekron, for her expectation will be disappointed; and the king will perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon will not be inhabited.
Ashkelon loh a hmuh vaengah a rhih vetih, Gaza khaw muep poi ni. Ekron khaw a uepnah ham yak ni. Gaza lamkah manghai milh vetih, Ashkelon khaw khosak tal ni.
6 Foreigners will dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
Ashdod ah halhca loh kho a sak vetih, Philisti kah hoemdamnah ka khoe ni.
7 I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth; and he also will be a remnant for our God; and he will be as a chieftain in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
A ka lamkah a thii khaw, a no laklo lamkah a sarhingkoi khaw, ka khoe pah ni. Amah khaw mamih kah Pathen hamla sueng vetih, Judah ah khoboei la om ni. Te vaengah Ekron te Jebusi bangla om ni.
8 I will camp around my house against the army, that none pass through or return; and no oppressor will pass through them any more: for now I have seen with my eyes.
Ka im he, aka paan tih aka mael taeng lamloh, rhaltawt neh ka rhaeh thil ni. Ka mik neh ka hmuh coeng dongah, tueihno loh amih te paan voel mahpawh.
9 Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion. Shout, daughter of Jerusalem. Look, your king comes to you. He is righteous, and having salvation; lowly, and riding on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
Zion nu aw bahoeng omngaih laeh, Jerusalem nu aw yuhui laeh. Na manghai te na taengah a dueng la ha pai coeng ke. Amah loh mangdaeng te a khang. Te dongah laak so neh laaknu a ca laaktal dongah ngol.
10 I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; and the battle bow will be cut off; and he will speak peace to the nations: and his dominion will be from sea to sea, and from the River to the farthest parts of the earth.
Ephraim lamkah leng neh Jerusalem lamkah kah marhang khaw ka hnawt vetih, caemtloek lii khaw tlawt ni. Namtom taengah rhoepnah a thui vetih, a boeinah he tuitun lamloh tuitun duela, tuiva lamloh kho bawt duela a pha ni.
11 As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant, I have set free your prisoners from the pit in which is no water.
Nang khaw na paipi thii rhangneh na thongtla pataeng a khuiah tui aka om pawh tangrhom lamloh ka hlah ni.
12 Turn to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope. Even today I declare that I will restore double to you.
Ngaiuepnah khuikah thongtla rhoek, lunghim taengla mael uh laeh, tahae khohnin ah pataeng a doek tih nang taengah rhaepnit la kan thuung ni.
13 For indeed I bend Judah as a bow for me. I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will stir up your sons, Zion, against your sons, Greece, and will make you like the sword of a mighty man.
Judah te kamah hamla lii la ka phuk vetih, Ephraim khaw cung ni. Greek nang ca rhoek taengah Zion nang ca rhoek te kan haeng vetih, nang te hlangrhalh kah cunghang bangla kang khueh ni.
14 YHWH will be seen over them; and his arrow will go forth like lightning; and YHWH will blow the trumpet, and will go with whirlwinds of the south.
BOEIPA he amih soah phoe vetih, a thaltang te rhaek bangla a khuen ni. Te vaengah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh tuki te a ueng vetih, tuithim hlipuei neh cet ni.
15 YHWH of hosts will defend them; and they will destroy and overcome with sling stones; and they will drink, and roar as through wine; and they will be filled like bowls, like the corners of the altar.
Caempuei BOEIPA loh amih te a tungaep ni. Te vaengah a caak uh vetih, payai lung te a khoem uh ni. Misurtui vaengkah bangla, a ok vetih umya uh ni. Te phoeiah tah baelcak bangla, hmueihtuk rhungsut bangla hah uh ni.
16 YHWH their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people; for they are like the jewels of a crown, lifted on high over his land.
Te khohnin ah tah, amih te a Pathen BOEIPA loh, a pilnam tuping la, a khohmuen ah aka vang rhuisam lung la a khang ni.
17 For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty. Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.
A kawnthen khaw bahoeng then, a sakthen khaw bahoeng then. Tongpang te cangpai neh, oila khaw misur thai neh thaihsu ni.
