Zekhariah 12

1 Kalvan hoi talai du kasakkung, tami hoi athung e muitha kasakkung, BAWIPA ni Isarelnaw hanlah a dei e lawk teh,

This is a declaration of Yahweh's word concerning Israel—a declaration of Yahweh, who stretched out the skies and laid the foundation of the earth, who fashions the spirit of mankind within man,

2 Kai ni Jerusalem khopui petkalup lah kaawm e miphun pueng hanlah, yamuhrinae manang lah ka coung sak han. Jerusalem a kalup awh navah, Judah ram hai hottelah ao van han.

“See, I am about to make Jerusalem into a cup causing all the peoples surrounding her to stagger about. It will also be like that for Judah during the siege against Jerusalem.

3 Hatnae tueng dawkvah, hote khopui teh miphun pueng hanlah, talung ka ri e lah ka coung sak han. Hote talung katawmnaw pueng teh hote talung ni reppasei lah a ten awh han. Talai taminaw pueng ni Jerusalem khopui tuk hanlah a kamkhueng awh han.

On that day, I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. Anyone trying to lift that stone will hurt himself very much, and all the nations of the earth will gather against that city.

4 BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, hatnae tueng dawk kaawm e marang naw pueng kalue sak hanelah, marangransanaw pueng hah pathu sak han. Judah miphun ka khet vaiteh, alouke miphunnaw koe kaawm e marang naw a mit dawn sak hanelah ka rek han.

On that day—this is Yahweh's declaration—I will strike every horse with confusion and its rider with madness. Over the house of Judah I will open my eyes, but every horse of the peoples I will strike with blindness.

5 Jerusalem Cathut ransahu BAWIPA lahoi ahnimouh teh kaie kathaonae doeh telah Judah bawinaw ni a lungthung vah ati awh han.

Then the leaders of Judah will say in their hearts, 'The inhabitants of Jerusalem are our strength because of Yahweh of hosts, their God.'

6 Hat navah, Judah bawinaw teh thinghong dawk e takhuen patetlah thoseh, Cabong dawk e hmai talî patetlah thoseh, ka o sak vaiteh, avoilah aranglah kaawm e miphunnaw pueng hmai a kak awh han. Jerusalem khopui hai amae hmuen dawk pou ao han.

On that day I will make the leaders of Judah like firepots among wood and like a flaming torch among standing grain, for they will consume all the surrounding peoples on their right and on their left. Jerusalem will again live in her own place.”

7 BAWIPA ni Judah rimnaw hmaloe a rungngang han. Hatdawkvah, Devit e catoun bawilennae hoi Jerusalem khocanaw e bawilennae teh Judah e hloilah kâphokâlen awh mahoeh.

Yahweh will save the tents of Judah first, so that the honor of the house of David and the honor of those who live in Jerusalem may not be greater than the rest of Judah.

8 Hat hnin dawkvah, BAWIPA ni Jerusalem khocanaw a okhai vaiteh, hatnae tueng nah, a tha kayoun naw hah Devit patetlah thoseh, Devit canaw teh Cathut patetlah thoseh, ahnimae hmalah BAWIPA e kalvantami patetlah ao awh han.

On that day Yahweh will be the defender of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and on that day those who are weak among them will be like David, while the house of David will be like God, like the angel of Yahweh in front of them.

9 Hatnae hnin dawk, Jerusalem khopui tuk hanlah kamthaw e miphunnaw hah raphoe hanlah tha ka patho han.

“On that day that I will begin to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

10 Lungmanae hoi ratoum ngainae hah Devit imthung hoi Jerusalem khocanaw lathueng vah, kai ni ka awi vaiteh, amamouh ni a thut e kai na hmu awh han. A na pa ni tawntoe e capa a khuikakhai e patetlah ahni hanelah a khuika awh han. A na pa ni camin hanelah a lungmathoe e patetlah a lungmathoe awh han.

But I will pour out a spirit of compassion and pleading on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so they will look on me, the one they have pierced. They will mourn for me, as one mourns for an only son; they will bitterly lament for him like those who lament the death of a firstborn son.

11 Megiddo yawn dawk Hadadrimmon kho vah a khuika e patetlah hat navah, Jerusalem kho dawk puenghoi khuikanae kaawm han.

On that day the laments in Jerusalem will be like the laments at Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.

12 Khoram pueng ni a miphun lengkaleng alouklouk lah, a khuika awh han. Devit e imthungnaw alouklah, ahnimae a yunaw alouklah, Nathan e imthungnaw alouklah, ahnimae a yunaw alouklah,

The land will mourn, each clan separate from other clans. The clan of the house of David will be separate and their wives will be separate from the men. The clan of the house of Nathan will be separate and their wives will be separate from the men.

13 Levih e imthungnaw alouklah, a yunaw alouklah, Shimei e imthungnaw alouklah, a yunaw alouklah,

The clan of the house of Levi will be separate and their wives will be separate from the men. The clan of the Shimeites will be separate and their wives will be separate from the men.

14 Kacawie miphunnaw pueng hah alouklah, a yunaw hah alouklah, alouklouk lah lengkaleng a khuika awh han.

Every clan of the remaining clans—each clan will be separate and the wives will be separate from the men.”
