1Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh let,
1Again the word of the LORD of Hosts came to me, saying:
2misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, Zion nuiah paroeai uthaih ka tawnh, anih nuiah hmai kanung parai palungphuihaih ka tawnh, tiah thuih.
2This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “I am jealous for Zion with great zeal; I am jealous for her with great fervor.”
3Angraeng mah, Zion khaeah kam laem let moe, Jerusalem thungah ka oh han: Jerusalem loe Loktang Vangpui, tiah kawk o ueloe, misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng ih Mae loe, Kaciim Mae, tiah kawk o tih, tiah thuih.
3This is what the LORD says: “I will return to Zion and dwell in Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth, and the mountain of the LORD of Hosts will be called the Holy Mountain.”
4Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, Nongpata mitong hoi nongpa mitongnawk loe Jerusalem ih loklamnawk ah anghnu o ueloe, saning coeh o parai boeh pongah, ban ah cunghet to sin o boih tih.
4This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Old men and old women will again sit along the streets of Jerusalem, each with a staff in hand because of great age.
5Vangpui thung ih loklamnawk loe nawkta nongpa hoi nongpatanawk amhaihaih hoiah koi tih, tiah thuih.
5And the streets of the city will be filled with boys and girls playing there.”
6Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, To na niah loe haeah kanghmat kaminawk hanah dawnrai hmuen ah om tih, toe kai han loe dawnrai hmuen ah om tih maw? tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih.
6This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “If this is impossible in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be impossible in My eyes?” declares the LORD of Hosts.
7Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, Khenah, ni angyae hoi ni duem prae bangah kaom, kaimah ih kaminawk to ka pahlong han.
7This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “I will save My people from the land of the east and from the land of the west.
8Jerusalem ah oh hanah nihcae to ka hoih han: nihcae loe kai ih kami ah om o ueloe, kai loe loktang hoi toenghaih bangah nihcae ih Sithaw ah ka oh han, tiah thuih.
8I will bring them back to dwell in Jerusalem, where they will be My people, and I will be their faithful and righteous God.”
9Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng ih im sak na niah kaom tahmaanawk ih lok kathaih nangcae mah, tempul to na sak o thai hanah, na ban thacak o sak ah.
9This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Let your hands be strong, you who now hear these words spoken by the prophets who were present when the foundations were laid to rebuild the temple, the house of the LORD of Hosts.
10Hae tiah om ai nathuem ah loe kami hoi moi hanah toksakhaih atho to om ai; kaminawk boih hoi a taeng ih kaminawk maeto hoi maeto misa ah kang coengsak pongah, pacaekthlaekhaih to oh moe, tacawt kami hoi akun kaminawk hanah monghaih om ai.
10For before those days neither man nor beast received wages, nor was there safety from the enemy for anyone who came or went, for I had turned every man against his neighbor.
11Toe vaihi loe kanghmat kaminawk to canghnii ih kaminawk baktiah ka sah mak ai, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih.
11But now I will not treat the remnant of this people as I did in the past,” declares the LORD of Hosts.
12Atii loe kahoih ah amprawk ueloe, misur doeh athai tih; long mah caaknaek to tacawtsak ueloe, vannawk mah dantui to krahsak tih: haeah kanghmat kaminawk hanah hae hmuennawk boih qawk ah ka toepsak han.
12“For the seed will be prosperous, the vine will yield its fruit, the ground will yield its produce, and the skies will give their dew. To the remnant of this people I will give all these things as an inheritance.
13Nangcae loe Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk salakah tangoenghaih hnu kami ah na oh o baktih toengah, Aw Judah hoi Israel imthung takohnawk, nangcae to kang pahlong han, to naah nangcae loe tahamhoih kami ah na om o tih: zii hmah, na ban thacak o sak ah, tiah a naa.
13As you have been a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you, and you will be a blessing. Do not be afraid; let your hands be strong.”
14Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, Nangcae ampanawk mah kai palung ang phui o sak naah, nangcae to dan ka paek han, tiah ka thuih ih lok to ka zuk let ai;
14For this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Just as I resolved to bring disaster upon you when your fathers provoked Me to anger, and I did not relent,” says the LORD of Hosts,
15vaihni loe Jerusalem hoi Judah imthung takoh ah kahoih hmuen sak han kam sak boeh; zii o hmah.
15“so now I have resolved to do good again to Jerusalem and Judah. Do not be afraid.
16Hae baktih hmuennawk hae na sak o han oh; kami boih mah angmah ih imtaeng kaminawk khaeah loktang lok to thui oh; lokcaek naah loktang lok, toenghaih lok, monghaih hoiah lok to takhroek oh:
16These are the things you must do: Speak truth to one another, render true and sound judgments in your gates,
17na imtaeng kami nuiah kahoih ai hmuen to poek o hmah; amsoem ai lokkamhaih to koeh o hmah: hae tiah sak ih hmuennawk loe ka hnukma, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
17do not plot evil in your hearts against your neighbor, and do not love to swear falsely, for I hate all these things,” declares the LORD.
18Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh let bae,
18Then the word of the LORD of Hosts came to me, saying,
19misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, Khrah palito, khrah pangato, khrah sarihto hoi khrah hato, buhzahhaihnawk loe Judah imthung takoh han oephaih, anghoehaih hoi nawmhaih poih ah om tih; to pongah loktang hoi angdaehhaih to palung oh, tiah thuih.
19“This is what the LORD of Hosts says: The fasts of the fourth, the fifth, the seventh, and the tenth months will become times of joy and gladness, cheerful feasts for the house of Judah. Therefore you are to love both truth and peace.”
20Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, Ahmuen kruekah kaom vangpui ih kaminawk to angzo o tih:
20This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Peoples will yet come—the residents of many cities—
21vangpui maeto thung kaom kaminawk loe kalah vangpui bangah caeh o ueloe, Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng to pakrong o si, Angraeng hmaa ah lawkthuih han karangah caeh o si, kai doeh ka caeh toeng han, tiah thui o tih.
21and the residents of one city will go to another, saying: ‘Let us go at once to plead before the LORD and to seek the LORD of Hosts. I myself am going.’
22Ue, pop parai kaminawk hoi thacak praenawk mah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng to pakrong moe, Angraeng hmaa ah lawkthuih hanah Jerusalem ah angzo o tih, tiah a thuih.
22And many peoples and strong nations will come to seek the LORD of Hosts in Jerusalem and to plead before the LORD.”
23Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, To na niah loe lok kalah apae praenawk thung ih kaminawk hato angzo o ueloe, Judah kami maeto ih kahni atom to patawn pae o caeng tih, nangcae khaeah Sithaw oh, tiah ka thaih o pongah, na hnukah kang zoh o toeng han, tiah thui o tih, tiah thuih.
23This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “In those days ten men from the nations of every tongue will tightly grasp the robe of a Jew, saying, ‘Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.’”
