1Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.
1Ngaiin, TOUPAN lei a awngsakin, a sesak sina, a lumlet dinga, a omte a dalhsak sin hi.
2And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.
2Huan, vantang tunga om bangin siampu tungah leng a om ding; bawipa tunga a om bangin a pu tungah leng a om ding; bawinu tung a om bangin a pi tungah leng a om ding; a leimi tunga a om bangin, a khawngmi tungahleng a om ding; leitawisakmi tunga a om bangin a kianga apung pemi tungah leng a om ding.
3The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word.
3Lei lah awnsak keuhkeuh inleh hih siat dimdemin a om ding; huai lah TOUPAN a chita ngala.
4The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.
4Lei lah a kapin a tul a khovel lah bahin a tul a, leia mi tungnungte a bah uhi.
5The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.
5Lei lah a ommite nuaiah a buahkhinta; dan te ah a talek ua, thuseh lak a hihlamdang ua, khantawn thukhuna a tatlek jiak un.
6Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
6Huaijiakin hamsiatin lei a ne khina, a ommite lah siam louh tansak in a omta uh: huaijiakin leia ommite lah a kanglum ua, mi tawm chik kia a om lai uh.
7The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merryhearted do sigh.
7Uain thak lah a kapa, grepgui lah a baha, lungtang nuamte tengteng a mau uhi.
8The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.
8Khuangtate kipahna lah a daia, kaihging nuamsa ging lah a daita.
9They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.
9Lasa kawmin uai a dawm kei ding uh: ju lah a dawnmite adingin a kha mahmah ding.
10The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in.
10Buaina khopi chipsakin a omta: kuamah himhim a lut louhnba ding un in chih khakin a omta.
11There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.
11Uain jiakin kongzingte ah kap husa a oma: nuamna tengteng mialsakin a oma, hiai gam nopna a gamgta.
12In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.
12Khopi ah siatna nutsiatin a oma, a kulh kongkhak lah vuak siatin a omta.
13When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.
13Lei laitakah mi chih lakah hichiin a om sing ngala, olive sing vuak nunga gah a om lai sek bangin leh, grep loh nunga grep maih loh ding a om lai sek bang maiin.
14They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.
14Huaiten a aw uh a suah ding ua, a kikou ding uh; TOUPA thupina jiakin tuipi akipanin ngaihtakin a kikou ding uh.
15Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea.
15Huaijiakin TOUPA tuh Suahlam ah pahtawi un.
16From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.
16Kawlmong tawpa lasak i ja, Mi diktatte kiangah thupina om hen, chih la. Himahleh, ken bel, Ka gawng huaihuaia, ka tung gik hi! lepchiahtaka gamtammiten lepchiahtakin a hih uhi, ka chi a.
17Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.
17Leia om aw, lauhuainate, kokhukte, thangte na tungah a om hi.
18And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.
18Huchiin hichi ahi dinga, lauhuai husa akipana taipa tuh kokhukah a ke dinga; kokhuk sunga kipana pawtkhe toumi thangah a awk ding; tunglama tohlette lah honin a om ngalam lei kingaknate lah a ling hi.
19The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.
19Lei lah a kitam gawp veka, lei lah hihmanin a om vek a, lei lah nak pitakin a ling hi.
20The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
20Leilah mi zukham bangin a hoi dongdong dinga, bawkta hawt bangin a kihawt ding; a tatlekna lah a tungah giktakin a om ding a, huchiin a puk dinga, a thou nawnta kei ding hi.
21And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
21Huan, huai ni chiangin hichi ahi dinga, Toupan tunglama mi tungnung pawl lian pipite a gawt ding, leia lei kumpipate toh.
22And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.
22Huan, hentate kokhuka pi khawma a om bang un huaite pi khawmin a om ding ua, suangkulha khum in a om ding uh, ni sawttak nungin gawt in a om ding uh.Huai hun chiangin tunga kha zum takin a om dinga, tunga ni zahlak takin a om ding; sepaihte TOUPA lah Zion tang leh Jerusalem khuaah leh, a upate maah, thupitakin lalin a om sing ngala.
23Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.
23Huai hun chiangin tunga kha zum takin a om dinga, tunga ni zahlak takin a om ding; sepaihte TOUPA lah Zion tang leh Jerusalem khuaah leh, a upate maah, thupitakin lalin a om sing ngala.
