Zechariah 2

1 I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, 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 width 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 Behold, the angel who talked with me went out, 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 the LORD, ‘will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the middle 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 the LORD; ‘for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky,’ says the LORD.

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 the LORD of Hosts says: ‘For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of his 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, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they will be a plunder to those who served them; and you will know that the LORD 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 behold, I come and I will dwell within you,’ says the LORD.

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 the LORD in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell among you, and you shall know that the LORD 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 The LORD 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 the LORD; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation!”

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