Zechariah 10
1 Ask Yahweh to cause rain to fall (in the springtime/before the hot season starts), [because] he is the one who makes the clouds [from which the rain falls]. He causes showers to fall on us, and he causes crops to grow well in the fields.
Pakaija kon in chavang laileh gotwi thum'un, ajehchu Amahi huipi leh twipi chule meilhang sempa ahi. Aman gohong hinjuh lhahsah intin loujaova anche louhing phattheina chamkim chang diu ahi.
2 [What people think that] the idols in their houses suggest [is only] nonsense, and people who [say that they can] interpret dreams tell [only] lies. When they [tell people things to] comfort [them, what they say] is useless, so the people [who (consult/trust in) them] are like lost sheep; they are attacked because they have no [one to protect them] [like] [MET] a shepherd [protects his sheep].
Insung semthu Pathen hon thu dih lou asei uva, vangsang hon thudih lou ngen aphon doh jiuvin koima akipasah thei pouve. Hijeh chun kamite kelngoi hon bangin amahthah ji tauve, kelngoi ching aum loujeh in boina atohji tauve.
3 [Yahweh says, ] “I am angry with the leaders [MET] of my people, and I will punish them. [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, take care of my people, the people of Judah, [like a shepherd takes care of his] [MET] flock, and I will cause them to be like [SIM] proud/powerful war horses.
Na kelngoi chingte chunga kalung hanna adeo jah jenge, keiman ama hohi ka-engbol ding ahi. Ajeh chu hatchungnung Pakaichu amite Judah panhu ding in ahung lhung tai. Aman amaho chu galsatna sakol hattah banga atun let ding ahi.
4 From Judah will come rulers [who will be very important], [like] [MET] a cornerstone is [the most important stone for a house], [like] [MET] a tent peg [is very important for a tent], [like] [MET] a bow [is very important for (an archer/a man who shoots arrows]).
Amaho’a kon a hi in-ning songpia hung pang ding alah uva ponbuh kihenna leh akikhaina hung umdoh a, alah uva konna gal kapna thalchang hung lengdoh ding, Vaihomma pang ding jouse jong alah uva hung peng doh ding ahibouve.
5 They will all be like [SIM] mighty warriors trampling [their enemies] in the mud during a battle. [I, ] Yahweh, will be with them, so they will fight and defeat their enemies who ride on horses.
Amaho hi galmunna galmunna galsat hattah tobang diu agalmiteu akengto uva achotpha diu ahi. Ajehchu agalsat nauva Pakaiyin aumpi diu ahi. Sakol tou themho geija ajosah ding ahi.
6 I will cause the people [MTY] of Judah to become strong, and I will rescue the people [MTY] of Israel. I will bring them back [from the countries to which they were (exiled/forced to go)]; [I will do that] because I pity them. Then they will be as though I had not abandoned them, because I am Yahweh, their God, and I will answer them [when they pray for help].
Keiman Judah kahatdoh sah a Israel ka huhdoh ahi, amaho hi kakhotona jeh a kaki ledoh sah ding keiman kana paidoh khah lou hel banga kabol ding ahi, ajehchu Pakai keima hi atao na’u ngaija a Pathen u ka hi ding ahi.
7 The people of Israel will be like [SIM] strong soldiers; they will be as happy as [people who have drunk a lot of] wine. Their children will see [their fathers being very happy], and they [also] will be happy because of what Yahweh [has done for them].
Israel mitechu galsat hattah bang diu, lengpitwi in akipasah bang uva alung thimma kipah ding achilhah teuvin jong hichu amu uva kipahdiu alungsung uva Pakaija haldohdiu ahi.
8 I will signal for my people [to return from (being exiled/other countries)], and I will gather them together [in their own country]. I will rescue them, and they will become very numerous like [they were] previously.
Keiman kakouteng leh amaho hunglhaitho jeng diu ahi, ajeh chu keiman amaho chu dalhah lhonho lah a konna kalhat dohsa ahitauve, amaho tumasang bang banga pung kit diu ahi.
9 I have caused them to be scattered among many people-groups, but in those distant countries they will think about me again. They and their children will remain alive and return [to Judah].
Keiman chitin namtin lah a muchi kithe banga kana thethang gam vanga amahon mun gamla tah a konna eihin het doh diu ahi. Amahole achilhah te’u hingdoh ding Israel gamma hung kile kit diu ahi.
10 I will bring them [back] from Egypt and from Assyria; I will bring them [back] from the Gilead and Lebanon [regions], and there will hardly be enough [HYP] space for them all [to live in Judah].
Keiman Egypt gamle Assyria a konna amaho chu kahin lepui doh’a agamsung cheh uva ka chen khom sah ding, mi adim letset tokah a amaho hi Gilead leh Lebanon gamsunga ka chenlut sah cheh ding ahi
11 They will endure/experience many difficulties [as though they were walking] [MET] through a sea, but [I] will calm the waves of the sea; the Nile [River which is usually] deep will dry up. [I] will defeat the proud [soldiers of] Assyria, and [I will cause] Egypt to no longer be powerful [MTY].
Amaho dinga twikhanglen kakilenou sah a hahsatna twikhanglenna konna chu kapui galkaija Nile vadung chu kakansah ding Assyria te thupina kasuhchip sing chuteng Egypt te vaipohna kichaiding ahi.
12 I will enable my people to be strong, and they will honor me and obey [IDM] me. [That will surely happen because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
Katha hanta kamite kahatdoh sahding chuleh kathuneina jal'a avalena nun nom uva vahle diu ahi tin Pakai keiman thu kaseitai ati.
