1And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of the Lord came to Zacharias, in the fourth day of the ninth month, which is Casleu.
1Manghai Darius kah a kum li, hla ko, Kislev hnin li vaengah BOEIPA ol loh Zekhariah taengla a pha.
2When Sarasar, and Rogommelech, and the men that were with him, sent to the house of God, to entreat the face of the Lord:
2Te vaengah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah nguek hamla a hlang rhoek neh Bethel kah Sharezer neh Regemmelek te a tueih.
3To speak to the priests of the house of the Lord of hosts, and to the prophets, saying: Must I weep in the fifth month, or must I sanctify myself as I have now done for many years?
3Caempuei BOEIPA im kah khosoih rhoek taeng neh tonghma rhoek taengah a dawt sak tih, “Kum te yet ka saii noek bangla hla nga dongah tah cue uh hamla ka rhap aya?” a ti nah.
4And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying:
4Tedae caempuei BOEIPA ol he kai taengla pai tih,
5Speak to all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying: When you fasted, and mourned in the fifth and the seventh month for these seventy years: did you keep a fast unto me?
5“Khohmuen pilnam boeih taeng neh khosoih rhoek taengah khaw thui lamtah, 'Kum sawmrhih lo coeng dae, hla nga neh hla rhih vaengah na yaeh uh tih na rhaengsae uh a? Kai kamah ham nim a yaeh khaw na yaeh uh?
6And when you did eat and drink, did you not eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?
6Na caak uh vaengah khaw, na ok uh vaengah khaw, namamih loh na caak uh tih namamih loh na ok uh moenih a?
7Are not these the words which the Lord spoke by the hand of the former prophets, when Jerusalem as yet was inhabited, and was wealthy, both itself and the cities round about it, and there were inhabitants towards the south, and in the plain?
7Jerusalem kah kho aka sa neh a kaepvai kah a khopuei rhoek khaw tuithim neh kolrhawk kah kho aka sa khaw thayoeituipan la om ham te BOEIPA loh lamhma kah tonghma rhoek kut dongah a pang puei te ol moenih a?” ti nah,” a ti nah.
8And the word of the Lord came to Zacharias, saying:
8Te phoeiah BOEIPA ol tah Zekhariah taengla pai tih,
9Thus saith the Lord of hosts, saying: Judge ye true judgment, and shew ye mercy and compassion every man to his brother.
9“'Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui,’ ti nah. Tiktamnah neh oltak la laitloek uh lamtah sitlohnah neh haidamnah he hlang loh a manuca taengah khueh saeh.
10And oppress not the widow, and the fatherless, and the stranger, and the poor: and let not a man devise evil in his heart against his brother.
10Te dongah nuhmai neh cadah khaw, yinlai neh mangdaeng khaw hnaemtaek uh boeh. Hlang loh a manuca te thae sak ham na thinko nen khaw moeh boeh.
11But they would not hearken, and they turned away the shoulder to depart: and they stopped their ears, not to hear.
11Tedae hnatung ham a aal uh tih a nam a duen uh. Boekkoek neh a hnatun ham khaw a hna bing uh.
12And they made their heart as the adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the Lord of hosts sent in his spirit by the hand of the former prophets: so a great indignation came from the Lord of hosts.
12Olkhueng neh ol te a hnatun pangthuem a lungbuei te lungning la a khueh uh. Te te caempuei BOEIPA amah Mueihla rhangneh tonghma lamhma rhoek kut ah ana paek coeng. Te dongah ni caempuei BOEIPA taeng lamloh thinhulnah muep a pai.
13And it came to pass that as he spoke, and they heard not: so shall they cry, and I will not hear, saith the Lord of hosts.
13“A khue vaengah a hnatun uh pawt bangla n'khue uh vaengah ka hnatun van mahpawh tila caempuei BOEIPA loh a thui.
14And I dispersed them throughout all kingdoms, which they know not: and the land was left desolate behind them, so that no man passed through or returned: and they changed the delightful land into a wilderness.
14Amih he namtom cungkuem taengah ka thikthuek te amamih loh ming uh pawh. Cet tih a mael lamloh amih hnukah khohmuen loh pong coeng. Te dongah khohmuen sahnaih te imsuep la a khueh uh,” a ti.
