Zechariah 7
1 And it cometh to pass, in the fourth year of Darius the king hath a word of Jehovah been unto Zechariah, in the fourth of the ninth month, in Chisleu.
Darius siangpahrang uknae kum pali, thapa yung tako, Chislev hnin pali hnin nah Zekhariah koe BAWIPA e lawk ka tho e teh,
2 And Beth-El sendeth Sherezer and Regem-Melech, and its men, to appease the face of Jehovah,
BAWIPA e hmalah ratoum hanlah kum moikasaw sak e patetlah thapa yung panga navah, khuika teh bu hai han nama telah,
3 speaking unto the priests who [are] at the house of Jehovah of Hosts, and unto the prophets, saying, 'Do I weep in the fifth month — being separated — as I have done these so many years?'
Ransahu BAWIPA e im dawk kaawm e vaihma hoiyah profetnaw hah pacei hanelah, Sherezer, Regem Melek hoi ahnimae taminaw BAWIPA e im dawk a patoun awh.
4 And there is a word of Jehovah of Hosts unto me, saying:
Ransahu BAWIPA e lawk teh Zekhariah koe a pha teh,
5 'Speak unto all the people of the land, and unto the priests, saying:
vaihmanaw hoi khocaramcanaw pueng hanelah na dei hane teh, a kum 70 touh thung, nangmanaw teh thapa ayung panga e hoi ayung sari e dawkvah bu na hai awh teh na khuika awh navah atangcalah kaie ka ngainae patetlah Kai koe bu na hai awh maw.
6 When ye fasted with mourning in the fifth and in the seventh [months] — even these seventy years — did ye keep the fast [to] Me — Me? And when ye eat, and when ye drink, is it not ye who are eating, and ye who are drinking?
Na canei awh nahaiyah ma ngainae patetlah vai na canei a vaw.
7 'Are not [these] the words that Jehovah proclaimed by the hand of the former prophets, in Jerusalem's being inhabited, and [in] safety, and its cities round about it, and the south and the plain — abiding?'
Jerusalem khopui hoi atengpam e khonaw akalae hoi tanghlingnaw dawk e tami apap lahun navah, ayan e profetnaw koe Cathut ni a pathang e kâlawk akuep toung nahoehmaw telah a ti.
8 And there is a word of Jehovah unto Zechariah, saying:
Hat navah, Zekhariah koe ka phat e BAWIPA e lawk teh,
9 'Thus spake Jehovah of Hosts, saying: True judgment judge ye, And kindness and mercy do one with another.
Kalan lah lawkceng awh. Pahren lungmanae hoi buet touh hoi buet touh lungkâpataw awh.
10 And widow, and fatherless, Sojourner, and poor, ye do not oppress, And the calamity of one another ye do not devise in your heart.
Naranaw, lahmai napui, ayâ khoram kaawm e karoedengnaw rektap awh hanh. Buet touh hoi buet touh kahawihoehe pouknae tawn awh hanh telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a dei e teh,
11 And they refuse to attend, And they give a refractory shoulder, And their ears have made heavy against hearing.
Ahnimouh ni ka lawk ngai laipalah hlout nahanlah a kâyawm awh. A thai hoeh nahanlah a hnâ a tabuem awh.
12 And their heart they have made adamant, Against hearing the law, and the words, That Jehovah of Hosts sent by His Spirit, By the hand of the former prophets, And their is great wrath from Jehovah of Hosts.
Phunglawk thoseh, ransahu BAWIPA e Muitha niyah ayan e profetnaw koe a dei pouh e lawk thoseh, ahnimouh ni a thai awh hoeh nahanlah a lungthinnaw lungtaw patetlah a pata sak awh. Hatdawkvah, ransahu BAWIPA teh puenghoi a lungkhuek.
13 And it cometh to pass, as He called, And they have not hearkened, So do they call, and I do not hearken, Said Jehovah of Hosts.
Kai ni ka kaw navah a thai awh hoeh e patetlah, ahnimouh ni na kaw to hai kai ni ka thai pouh mahoeh telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a ti.
14 And I toss them on all the nations, That they have not known, The land hath been desolate behind them, Of any passing by and turning back, And they set a desirable land for a desolation!
Ahnimouh ni a panue awh hoeh e miphunnaw koevah bongparui hoi ka palek sak awh toe. Hatdawkvah, ahnimae ram teh kingkadi lah ao teh, apihaiyah kâhlumkâhlai e awm hoeh. Ram kahawi teh koung raphoe lah ao telah a ti.
