Zechariah 2
1 And I lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, a man, and in his hand a measuring line.
Bout kamoung nah, bangnuenae rui ka sin e tami buet touh ka hmu.
2 And I say, 'Whither are thou going?' And he saith unto me, 'To measure Jerusalem, to see how much [is] its breadth, and how much 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 And lo, the messenger who is speaking with me is going out, and another messenger is going 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 he saith unto him, 'Run, speak unto this young man, saying: Unwalled villages inhabit doth Jerusalem, From the abundance of man and beast in her midst.
Jerusalem khocanaw, tami hoi saringnaw apap poung dawkvah khonaw dawk na o awh han.
5 And I — I am to her — an affirmation of Jehovah, A wall of fire round about, And for honour I am in her midst.
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 Ho, ho, and flee from the land of the north, An affirmation of Jehovah, For, as the four winds of the heavens, I have spread you abroad, An affirmation of Jehovah.
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 Ho, Zion, be delivered who art dwelling [with] the daughter of Babylon.
Babilon canu koe kaawm e Zion canunaw puenghoi yawng awh leih.
8 For thus said Jehovah of Hosts: After honour He hath sent me unto the nations who are spoiling you, For he who is coming against you, Is coming against the daughter 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 lo, I am waving my hand against them, And they have been a spoil to their servants. And ye have known that Jehovah of Hosts hath 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 Singe, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, For lo, I am coming, and have dwelt in thy midst, An affirmation of Jehovah.
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 And joined have been many nations unto Jehovah in that day, And they have been to Me for a people, And I have dwelt in thy midst, And thou hast known that Jehovah of Hosts hath sent me unto thee.
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 And Jehovah hath inherited Judah, His portion on the holy ground, And He hath fixed again on Jerusalem.
BAWIPA ni kho kathoung dawk Judah ram hah ama hanlah râw lah a coe vaiteh Jerusalem hah bout a rawi han.
13 Hush, all flesh, because of Jehovah, For He hath been roused up from His holy habitation!'
Oe, taminaw pueng BAWIPA hmalah sairasuepcalah awm awh, kathounge onae hmuen dawk a thaw toe.
