Zechariah 8
1 Yahweh gave me [another] message. He said,
Hiche jou chun hatchungnung Pakaija kon in thupeh khat ahung kitnin hitin ati,
2 “This is what [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say: ‘I love [the people of] Jerusalem; I love them very much, and I am very angry with their enemies.’
Hatchungnung Pakaiyin hitin aseije, Zion kangailut nahi agil lheh jeng in ahi, Jerusalem ka ngailut nahin eival-lhum jeng in ahi.
3 So this is what I say: ‘[Some day] I will return to Zion [Hill] and I will live there. [At that time, ] Jerusalem will be called the city [where people] (are faithful to/faithfully obey) me, and [people will say that Zion] Hill [is] holy because it is where the Commander of the armies of angels dwells.’”
Tun Pakaiyin hitin aseije, keima Zion ah kahung kilekit tai chuleh keima Jerusalema kachen ding ahi, chuteng leh Jerusalem khopi chu kitahna khopi kiti ding ahi, hatchungnung Pakai molchu moltheng kiti ding ahi.
4 The Commander of the armies of angels also says this: “[Some day] old men and old women will again sit along the streets of Jerusalem, each of them holding a cane because of their being very old.
Hichehi hatchungnung pen Pakaiyin hitin aseije, tesepu le tehsepi ho Jerusalem lam lhongpia hi mol akiphouva vahlediu khopi ningkoija toukhom diu ahi.
5 And the city streets with be full of boys and girls playing.”
Khopi lamlhongpia chu pasal chapang holeh numei chapang ho akichemma dimset diu ahi.
6 The Commander of the armies of angels [also] says this: “[When those things happen, ] it will seem marvelous to the people who are still alive, but it certainly will not [RHQ] seem marvelous to me!”
Hichehi hatchungnung pen Pakaiyin aseije tutahin hitiho chu Pathen mite hon lhom chalah-a hin hithei dingin gel ahahsai ahinla hatchungnungpen Pakai dinga ipi ahahsa um ding ham? tin hatchungnung Pakaiyin aseije.
7 The Commander of the armies of angels [also] says this: “I will rescue my people from countries to the northeast and to the southwest [to which they were forced to go].
Hichehi hatchungnung Pakaiyin asei ahi, veovin keiman kamite solamma konle lhumlama konna ka huhdoh ding ahi.
8 I will bring them back [to Judah], and they will [again] live in Jerusalem. They will be my people, and I will be their God. I will be faithful [to them] and act righteously [toward them].”
Keiman ainnu Jerusalema lungmong sella kachensah diu ahi. Amahohi kamiteu hiding, chuleh keimahi a Pathenu kahiding thudih tahle kitahna neitah a achung'uva kavaihom ding ahi.
9 The Commander of the armies of angels [also] says this: “When the foundation for my temple was laid, there were prophets there who proclaimed messages [from me]. Some of you heard what those prophets said. [So] be brave/courageous [MTY] [while you are building] the temple, in order that you may [finish] building it.
Thaneipen Pakaiyin hitin aseije, hat inlang na natoh hi tongchai in, hatchungnungpen Pakaiyin aseije, hiche Hou-in hi aleibul akigonna pat in themgao hon in asah chai diu daan ana seisau ahitai.
10 Before [you started to rebuild the temple], [no one could hire] men or animals [to work for them, because] there was no money to pay for them. And people were afraid to go anywhere because I had caused people to oppose each other, and [they thought that] there were enemies [everywhere].
Hou-in natoh ahung kipat tilchun natongho thaman ding leh gancha thaman peh ding sum ana umpon, jetle veija galmi ana umjeh in chele vale jong tijat anauma, ajehchu keiman mitinchu kana kidouto sahin ahi.
11 But now I will act differently toward [you] people who are still alive, [differently] than I did previously. [That is what I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say.
Tunvang kamite amoh chengse chu tumasanga kabol lou ding ahitai tin hatchungnungpen Pakaiyin aseijin ahi.
12 [From now on, ] it will be peaceful when you plant [your seeds], and your grapevines will produce grapes, and good crops will grow in your fields. There will be rain. I will give all those things to [you] people who are still alive.
Ajehchu keiman nangho lah a chamdella phattheina muchi kitu tan ahi. Lengpithei hung gaphat in leiset in anche louhing hin sepdoh intin chuleh vanna konin daitwi hungneng ding ahitai. Hitichun keiman Judah le Israel amoh chengse chu phatthei bohna gou kalosah ding ahi.
13 You [people of] Judah and Israel, [the people of other] nations have cursed you. But I will rescue you, and you will be a blessing [to the people of many nations. So] do not be afraid; work hard [MTY] [to finish building the temple].”
Namdang laha Judah le Israel chu sapset changmi kana hisah ahi. Ahinla hichu hita lou ding, tuahi keiman nanghohi kahuhdoh a phatthei konna nam mite kahisah diu ahi. Hijeh chun kicha hih in, hat in lang Hou-in sahphat kitna natohchu pantan.
14 The Commander of the armies of angels [also] says this: “When your ancestors caused me to become very angry, I decided to punish them. And I did not change my mind.
Ajeh chu hiche hi hatchungnung Pakaiyin asei ahi. Napu napateu vin eina phin lunghang jeh in nangho chu kana engbol nahiuve.
15 But now [I will do something different]. I am planning to do good things to [the people of] Jerusalem and [other towns in] Judah. [So] do not be afraid.
Tunvang Judah mipite leh Jerusalem phattheiboh dinga gel lhuhna kanei ahitai. Hijeh chun kicha hih in,
16 These are the things that you should do: [You should always] tell the truth to each other. In the courts, [your judges must] make decisions according to what is correct and fair.
Ahinla nangin hichehi na bol tei ding ahi. Khat le khat thutah kiseipeh touvin, chamna umdoh theina dingin thudih in thutan-un.
17 Do not plan to do evil things to others, and do not falsely promise [to do things that you know that you will not do]. I hate all those things.”
Lunggel dihlouvin kichangto hih-un, thutah'a na kihahsel na petchah in lang jouleh nal seija na kipehna su tang jong in,
18 The Commander of the armies of angels spoke to me [again].
Hiche ahin hatchungnung Pakaija kon thupeh khat ahung lhung kitne,
19 This is what he said: “The times when you people of Judah (fast/abstain from food) during the fourth, fifth, seventh, and tenth months [of each year] will become good and very happy/joyful [DOU] festivals. But you must want [to speak] truthfully and [be] peaceful.”
Hichehi hatchungnung Pakaija konna thupeh ahi. Lhali lhinna a na an-ngolna lha-nga channa a na-angolna a, lhasagi lhinna a na an-ngolna chuleh lhasom lhinna a na an-ngolna hochu Juda mipite dinga thanop nale kipana chuleh haldohna an-ngol hihen. Hijehchun thutahle chamna chu kolchah un,
20 The Commander of the armies of angels [also] says this: “[Some day] people from many [people-groups and foreign] cities will come [here to Jerusalem].
Hichehi hatchungnung Pathen in aseije, vannoi leiset khopia kon in chitin namtin mipite Jerusalema hung vahlut diu ahi.
21 People from one city will go to [the people in] another [city] and say, ‘Let’s [go together to Jerusalem] to worship Yahweh and ask him to bless us; we [ourselves] are going.’
Khopi khatna mite chun khopi khatna mite kom ah hungun Pakai phattheiboh thumdingin Jerusalema cheute atidiu ahi. Hatchungnung Pakai hou ding in cheute ati diu ahi keivang kakipattai, ati.
22 And [people from] many people-groups and [from] powerful nations will come to Jerusalem to worship Yahweh and ask him to bless them.”
Mitamtah leh thaneitah nam miteho chu Jerusalema hung uvintin hatching nung Pakai phatthei bohna ahung thumdiu ahi.
23 The Commander of the armies of angels [also] says this: “At that time, [this is what will happen everywhere]: A group of people from one nation or a group of people who speak another language will grab the fringe/edge of the robe of a Jew and say [to him], ‘We have heard [people say] that God is with you. So allow us to go with you [to Jerusalem to worship him].’”
Hatchungnung Pakaiyin hitin aseije, Hiche nikho teng chuleh vannoi leiset a chitin namtin pao tintang a kon in michom chom somlekhat chengin hung uvintin Judah mikhat ponmang tuh uvintin, lungset tah in neikilhon piuvin ajehchu nangho hi Pathen nin na umpi uve tin kaja uve ati ding’u ahi.
