< Zechariah 13 >

1 “On that day a spring will be opened for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for their sin and impurity.
Tholhnah dongah khaw pumom dongah khaw, te khohnin a pha vaengah tah David imkhui ham neh Jerusalem khosa rhoek ham thunsih phuet ni.
2 On that day—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts—I will cut off the names of the idols from the land and they will no longer be remembered. I will remove the prophets and the spirit of impurity from the land.
He tah caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Te khohnin a pha vaengah ah. Muei ming he khohmuen lamloh ka hnawt vetih poek uh voel mahpawh. A tihnai kah tonghma rhoek neh mueihla te khaw khohmuen lamloh ka khum sak ni.
3 If any man continues to prophesy, his father and mother who bore him will tell him, 'You will not live, for you speak lies in the name of Yahweh!' Then the father and mother who bore him will pierce him when he prophesies.
Tedae hlang te tonghma pueng khaming. Te vaengah anih aka cun a manu neh a napa loh anih te, “Yahweh ming neh laithae na thui dongah hing palueng boeh,” a ti nah ni. A tonghma vaengah anih aka cun a manu neh a napa loh anih a thun ni.
4 On that day each prophet will be ashamed of his vision when he is about to prophesy. These prophets will no longer wear a hairy cloak, in order to deceive the people.
Te khohnin a pha vaengah tah tonghma rhoek te yak uh ni. Hlang he a olphong neh a tonghma ah khaw a basa nah ham ngaih ah maeh mul himbai bai uh mahpawh.
5 For each will say, 'I am not a prophet! I am a man who works the soil, for the land became my work while I was still a young man!'
Te vaengah, “Ka tonghma moenih, hlang loh kai he ka camoe ah n'lai dongah kai tah lo tawn hlang ni,” a ti ni.
6 But someone will say to him, 'What are these wounds between your arms?' and he will answer, 'I was wounded with those in my friends' house.'”
Anih te, “Na kut laklo kah hmasoe he ta?” a ti nah vaengah, “Ka lungnah im kah n'ngawn la he,” a ti ni.
7 “Sword! Rouse yourself against my shepherd, the man who stands close to me— this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts. Strike the shepherd, and the flock will scatter! For I will turn my hand against the lowly ones.
Cunghang aw kai kah boiva aka dawn taeng neh ka imben hlang pakhat taengah khaw haenghang laeh. He tah caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Boiva aka dawn te ngawn lamtah boiva te a taek a yak uh ni. Aka muei rhoek taengah kut ka thuung ni.
8 Then it will come about that throughout all the land—this is Yahweh's declaration— that two-thirds of it will be cut off! Those people will perish; only one-third will remain there.
He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Diklai pum ah he he om ni. A khuikah hlop nit tah saii uh vetih pal uh ni. Te vaengah a khui kah hlop thum ah hlop khat te sueng ni.
9 I will bring that third through the fire and refine them as silver is refined; I will test them as gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will answer them and say, 'This is my people!' and they will say, 'Yahweh is my God!'”
Hlop thum hlop at te hmai khuiah ka khuen vetih cak a cil bangla amih te ka cil ni. Sui a noemcai bangla amih te ka noemcai ni. Anih loh kai ming te a khue uh vaengah kai loh anih te ka doo ni. Anih te ka pilnam ka ti vetih anih long khaw kai kah Pathen Yahweh a ti ni.
