¹The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops?

¹Kilanna guam puak gik, Bang na chi ua amai, in tung khawnga na kal touh vek uh?

²Thou that art full of stirs, a tumultuous city, joyous city: thy slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.

²Aw kikou husaa dim, khopi chiak vengvung, kho kipaktak, na sunga a thahte uh temsaua thah ahi kei ua, kikapnaa si leng ahi sam kei uh.

³All thy rulers are fled together, they are bound by the archers: all that are found in thee are bound together, which have fled from far.

³Na vaihawmmi tengteng a tai mang chiat ua, thalkap mite gakin a om ua, gamlapi akipana hongtai mangte

⁴Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly, labour not to comfort me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people.

⁴Huaijiakin ken, Honen louin lehlam en un, nakpiiin ka kap sin; ka mite tanu gallaka a lak thu uah honnem nuam vang lak dah un, ka chi hi.

⁵For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the Lord GOD of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains.

⁵TOUPA, sepaihte TOUPA akipanin kilakna guamah buaina leh sikdenna leh mangbatna ni lah ahi ngala; kulhpi bang hihsiatna leh tangte sapna

⁶And Elam bare the quiver with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield.

⁶Huchiin, Elamten thalbawm a tawi ua, mihing tuanna kangtalaite leh sakol tung tuangmite toh; Kirten lum tuamna lah a phel ua.

⁷And it shall come to pass, that thy choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.

⁷Huan, hichi ahi a, na guam hoihpente lah kangtalaiin a dimta a, sakol tungtuangmite lah kulh kongkhak bulah a kiphu noinoi uh. Huan, Judate khuhna a la mang hi.

⁸And he discovered the covering of Judah, and thou didst look in that day to the armour of the house of the forest.

⁸Huan, Judate khuhna a la mangta. Huchiin huai niin Gammang Ina galthuamna lam na enta uh.

⁹Ye have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool.

⁹David khopi kulhpi siatna tate leng na en ua, a tam chih na thei uh: huan, dil khangnungjaw tuite na luangkhawm sak uhi.

¹⁰And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have ye broken down to fortify the wall.

¹⁰Huan, Jerusalem inte na sim ua, kulhpi bang bawl hoihna dingin inte khawng na phel uh.

¹¹Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not looked unto the maker thereof, neither had respect unto him that fashioned it long ago.

¹¹Dil lui tui omna dingin kulhpi nih kikalah tuichin khawmna na bawl ua; himahleh huai hihmi lam lah na en ngal kei ua, nidanglaia anabawlpa lah na limsak het kei uh.

¹²And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:

¹²Huai niin TOUPA, sepaihte TOUPAN, kap ding leh awm kitum ding leh lugiau sak ding leh saiip puan teng dingin a sam a:

¹³And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die.

¹³Himahleh, ngaiin, nuamna leh kipahnate, bawng thahna leh belam thahnate, sa nekna leh uain dawnna te a om zota a, ne ni dawn ni, jingchiangin lah i si sin ngal ua, a chi uh.

¹⁴And it was revealed in mine ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

¹⁴Huchiin sepaihte TOUPA tuh ka bil ah a kilaka. Pellouin hiai khelhna na sih masiah uh na lak uah silsiang a hita kei ding, TOUPA, sepaihte TOUPAN a chi, chiin.

¹⁵Thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, even unto Shebna, which is over the house, and say,

¹⁵TOUPA, sepaihte TOUPAN, hichiin a chi, Kuan inla, hiai sumkempa vial kiangah, Shebna, in tunga heutu-a om kiang ngeingei ah, hohin.

¹⁶What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here, as he that heweth him out a sepulchre on high, and that graveth an habitation for himself in a rock?

¹⁶Huan, a kiangah hichiin genin, Hiaia bang hih na hia? hiai ah kua na neia, han hiaia na khuak vial? Amah adingin sangpi-a a han a khuaka, amah adinga suangpi-a omna a bawl vial!

¹⁷Behold, the LORD will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover thee.

¹⁷Ngaiin, TOUPAN nang a paihin a honpai ek ding, mi hatin a paih bangin; ahi, a tunin nang a hontun ikek ding.

¹⁸He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord's house.

¹⁸Pellouin aman nang lum bangin a honpei dinga, gam zapi-ah a honvawk lut ding: huailaiah na si dinga, huailai mahah, nang, na pu insung zahlaksakpa, na thupina kangtalaite a om ding hi.

¹⁹And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down.

¹⁹Na nasepna akipan ka hondelh khe ding a, aman heutu na hihnaa kipan a honkaikhesuk ding hi.

²⁰And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:

²⁰Huan, huai niin hichi ahi dinga, ka sikha Eliakim, Hilkha tapa, ka sam dinga; amah na puannnak tual ka silh sak dinga.

²¹And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.

²¹Na kawnggakin ka hihhat dinga, na vaihawmna amah khutah ka kem sak ding: Huchiin Jerusalema omte adin leh Juda inkuanpihte adingin pa ahi ding.

²²And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.

²²Huan, David inkuanpihte tahbi a liangjang ah ka koih dinga: aman a hong dinga, kuamahin a khak kei ding uh: a khak dinga, kuamahin a hong kei ding uh.

²³And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house.

²³Huan, amah, kilhna mun kiptaka a kilh ngiungeu bang un, ka hihkip ngiungeu dinga: huchiin amah tuh a pa inkuanpihte adingin laltutphah thupi mahmah ading ahi ding hi.

²⁴And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons.

²⁴Huan, amahah a pa inkuanpihte thupina tengteng a bang vek ding ua, a tate leh a suante, tuiumbelsuan neu chiteng, belhbu tuiumbelsuan akipan tui koihna tuiumbelsuan tengteng tanin.Huai niin, kilhna, mun kip taka kilh ngiungeu-a omin a nangzou kei dinga; sat khiaka omin, a keta dinga, a tunga thil gik om lah hihmanthatin a omta dinga; TOUPAN huai lah a genta ngala, sepaihte TOUPAN a chi, chiin.

²⁵In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD hath spoken it.

²⁵Huai niin, kilhna, mun kip taka kilh ngiungeu-a omin a nangzou kei dinga; sat khiaka omin, a keta dinga, a tunga thil gik om lah hihmanthatin a omta dinga; TOUPAN huai lah a genta ngala, sepaihte TOUPAN a chi, chiin.
