1Manghai Darius kah a kum li, hla ko, Kislev hnin li vaengah BOEIPA ol loh Zekhariah taengla a pha.
1And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, even in Chislev;
2Te vaengah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah nguek hamla a hlang rhoek neh Bethel kah Sharezer neh Regemmelek te a tueih.
2When Bethel-sarezer, and Regem-melech and his men, had sent to entreat the favour of the LORD,
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.
3and to speak unto the priests of the house of the LORD of hosts, and to the prophets, saying: 'Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?'
4Tedae caempuei BOEIPA ol he kai taengla pai tih,
4Then came the word of the LORD of hosts unto me, saying:
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?
5'Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying: When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh month, even these seventy years, did ye at all fast unto Me, even to Me?
6Na caak uh vaengah khaw, na ok uh vaengah khaw, namamih loh na caak uh tih namamih loh na ok uh moenih a?
6And when ye eat, and when ye drink, are ye not they that eat, and they that drink?
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.
7Should ye not hearken to the words which the LORD hath proclaimed by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities thereof round about her, and the South and the Lowland were inhabited?'
8Te phoeiah BOEIPA ol tah Zekhariah taengla pai tih,
8And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying:
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.
9'Thus hath the LORD of hosts spoken, saying: Execute true judgment, and show mercy and compassion every man to 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.
10and oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you devise evil against his brother in your heart.
11Tedae hnatung ham a aal uh tih a nam a duen uh. Boekkoek neh a hnatun ham khaw a hna bing uh.
11But they refused to attend, and turned a stubborn shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear.
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.
12Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts had sent by His spirit by the hand of the former prophets; therefore came there great wrath from 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.
13And it came to pass that, as He called, and they would not hear; so they shall call, and I will not hear, said the LORD of hosts;
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.
14but I will scatter them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they have not known. Thus the land was desolate after them, so that no man passed through nor returned; for they laid the pleasant land desolate.'
