1For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water.
1Ngai dih ua, TOUPA, Sepaihte TOUPAN, Jerusalem kiang akipan leh Juda kianga kipan a muanpi u leh a muanpen uh a muanpi uh an teng teng leh a muanpi uh tui tengteng, a laksak san lai ahi;
2The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,
2Mi hat leh kidousiamte toh; vaihawmmi leh jawlneimi leh, aisansiam leh, upate toh;
3The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.
3Sawmnga heutu leh, mi zahtakhuai leh, lemtheimi leh, khutsiam leh jawlaisiam te toh.
4And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
4Huchiin a mi liante ding ua om dingin naupangte ka pe dinga, naungekten a tunguah vai a hawm ding uh.
5And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.
5Huchiin, mite nuaisiahin a om ding ua, mi chih kinuaisiahin a om ding uh, mi chih amau insakinkhangte toh kiuaisiahin a om ding uh: naupang upa tungah kisathei takin a om ding ua, mi thulimloupi nangawn mizahtakhuai tungah kisathei takin a om ding.
6When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:
6Min a unau a pa ina lenin, Nang silh leh ten na neia, ka vaihawmtu un om inla, hiai siatna na khut ah om heh, a chih chiangin:
7In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.
7Huaichiangin amah a pau khe dinga, kei jaw bawlhoihtuin ka om sin kei hi; ka in ah lah nekding a om keia, silh leh ten lah a om kei: mite vaihawmpain non bawl kei ding, chiin.
8For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
8A thupina mit vuisak dinga a pau u leh a thilhihte uh TOUPA dou lam a hih jiakin Jerusalem a se khina, Judate a pukkinta uhi.
9The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
9A mel latdanin amau a hek tawma; a khelhna uh Sodom bang takin a langsak ua, a im kei uh. Atung uh gik e! thilhoihlouin a kithuk tawm ngal ua.
10Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
10Mi diktat thu-ah A hoih sin uhi, chi un; a thilhih gahte ulah a ne sin ngal ua.
11Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
11Mi giloute tung a gik hi! Lah a se sin ngal ua; a khut ua thilhih thukna tuh a kiang ua piak a hih ding jiakin.
12As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
12Ka mite jaw, amau nuaisiahtute naupangte a hita ua, numeiten a tunguah vai a hawmta uh. Ka mite aw, nou honpiten a honpi khial ua, na paina lamte a hihse sek uhi.
13The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.
13TOUPA tuh genpih dingin a hongding khiaa, mite vaihawm dingin a hongdingta hi.
14The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
14TOUPAN a mite upate tungah leh amau mi liante tungah vai a hawm ding: TOUPA, Sepaihte TOUPAN, Noute na hi uh, grep huan ne gaite; mi tangahte akipan sum lak na in uahte ahi a om:
15What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord GOD of hosts.
15Bang achia ahia ka mite na at ua, tagahte mai na gawijan uh? achia.
16Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
16Huai louin TOUPA, Zion tanute kisathei taka a om ua, dak vuau vuau leh mi en loplopa a pai ua, a pai un a pai lohloh ua, a khete uh a suan ging thuapthuap jiak un.
17Therefore the LORD will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts.
17TOUPAN Zion tanute lujangah maimakhem a omsak dinga, TOUPAN a zhmohte uleng a dawksak ding a chi hi.
18In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,
18Huai ni chiangin TOUPAN akizephoihnate uh a laksak dinga, khebulhte, len lukhu te, hakklote;
19The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
19Bilbah kai ngaihngaihte, taute. kikhuhna puante;
20The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,
20Lutang puante, khebulh khainiang te, kawnga tente, gimlim bawmte, kikauna te;
21The rings, and nose jewels,
21Min sawnna zungbuhte, nakbulhte;
22The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,
22Ankuangluina vante, puannak tualte, puan silhte, kawljalte;
23The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.
23Limlangte, puanmalngatte, dial te, kituamhoihna puante.
24And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.
24Thau namtui tak sikin thil muat a om ding; huan, kawnggak sikin khaujen a om ding; huan, sam mam sikin talkolh a om ding; huan, puan kilawm tak sikin saiip puan ten a om ding: melhoih sikin melhoihloute a omding.
25Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.
25Na mite namsau vatpaihin a om ding ua, na mi hat mahmahte kidounaah a puk ding uh.A kulh kongkhakte a awm uh kitumin a kap ding ua; amah tuh a hawm dinga, leiah a tu ding hi.
26And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground.
26A kulh kongkhakte a awm uh kitumin a kap ding ua; amah tuh a hawm dinga, leiah a tu ding hi.
