Zechariah 12
1 A revelation of the LORD’s word concerning Israel: The LORD, who stretches out the heavens and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him says:
Israel koeh ai haih Angraeng ih lok loe hae tiah oh: van to kalen ah pazuengkung, long ohhaih ahmuen raemhkung, kami hinghaih paekkung, Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih.
2 “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of reeling to all the surrounding peoples, and it will also be on Judah in the siege against Jerusalem.
Khenah, Jerusalem loe a taengah kaom kaminawk boih paquisak boengloeng ah ka sak han, nihcae mah Judah hoi Jerusalem to takui o tih.
3 It will happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the peoples. All who burden themselves with it will be severely wounded, and all the nations of the earth will be gathered together against it.
To na niah loe long nui ih acaeng boih mah anih tuk hanah amkhueng o tih, toe Jerusalem loe kaminawk boih han kazit lungsong baktiah ka sak han; to thlung atoeng kaminawk loe koi o phaeng tih.
4 In that day,” says the LORD, “I will strike every horse with terror and his rider with madness. I will open my eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness.
To na niah loe hrangnawk to kang hmangsak sut moe, a nuiah angthueng kaminawk doeh kam thusak boih han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih. Judah ih imthung to ka khet moe, kaminawk ih hrang to mik ka maengsak boih han.
5 The chieftains of Judah will say in their heart, ‘The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in the LORD of Armies their God.’
To naah Judah ukkung angraengnawk mah, misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng loe aicae ih Sithaw ah oh, kai loe Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk thacakhaih ah oh, tiah thui o tih.
6 In that day I will make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire among wood, and like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will devour all the surrounding peoples on the right hand and on the left; and Jerusalem will yet again dwell in their own place, even in Jerusalem.
To na niah Judah ukkung angraengnawk to thing hmai kamngaeh baktih, kangqong hmaithaw baktiah ka sak han; to hmai mah a taengah kaom kaminawk hoi banqoi bantang kaom kaminawk to kangh boih tih, toe Jerusalem loe a ohhaih ahmuen ah kacakah om poe tih.
7 The LORD also will save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of David’s house and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem not be magnified above Judah.
Angraeng mah Judah ohhaih ahmuen to pahlong hmaloe tih, David imthung hoi Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk lensawkhaih loe Judah pongah len kue mak ai.
8 In that day the LORD will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem. He who is feeble among them at that day will be like David, and David’s house will be like God, like the LORD’s angel before them.
To na niah loe Angraeng mah Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk to pakaa tih; thacak ai kaminawk loe to na niah David baktiah thacak o tih, nihcae hma ah Angraeng ih van kami oh baktih toengah, David imthung loe Sithaw baktiah om tih.
9 It will happen in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
To na niah Jerusalem vangpui tuk hanah angzo prae kaminawk boih to amrosak hanah ka pakrong han.
10 I will pour on David’s house and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of supplication. They will look to me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for his firstborn.
David imthung hoi Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk nuiah, tahmenhaih hoi tahmen hnikhaih palungthin ka kraih pae han: nihcae mah thunh o ih Kai to na khen o tih, maeto khue a tawnh o ih capa qah haih baktiah, anih to qah o haih tih; kami mah kadueh calu qahhaih baktiah, qah o haih tih.
11 In that day there will be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddo.
To na niah loe Megiddo azawn Hadad Rimmon ah kaom qahhaih baktiah, Jerusalem vangpui thungah paroeai qahhaih to om tih.
12 The land will mourn, every family apart; the family of David’s house apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
Prae loe palungsae tih, imthung takoh boih, David imthung takoh hoi a zunawk, Nathan imthung takoh hoi a zunawk;
13 the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of the Shimeites apart, and their wives apart;
Levi imthung takoh hoi a zunawk, Shimei imthung takoh hoi a zunawk;
14 all the families who remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
kanghmat imthung takohnawk, imthong takoh boih hoi a zunawk to qah o tih.
