1Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
1Nang loh tuak ngei lou pi-a, aloka pang, lepchiah taka bawl tuak ngeilou pi-a, lepchiah taka pang, na tung a gik hi, Mi loh na tuak sam ding hi; lepchiah taka na hih khit chianain, na tungah lepchiah takin a hih ding uh.
2O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
2Toupa aw, hon hehpihin; ka hon ngak nilouh uhi; jingsang tengin a ban uh honghi inla, buai hun chiangin leng hon hondampa honghi in.
3At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.
3Lum vengvung husain mi chih a taimang ta ua; nang na kisak hial chiangin nam chih hihdalhin a omta uh.
4And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.
4Na sum uh gallaka lak ding lungin thil a kaihkhawmin a om ding; khaupete a tawm duamduam uh bangin amaute tuh sum tungah a tawm duamduam ding uh.
5The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.
5Toupa tawisangin a omta; tunglamah lah a om ngala; aman Zion lah vaihawm diktakna leh diktatnain a dimsak ta hi.
6And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.
6Na dam sungin om kipna a om dinga. hotdamnate, pilnate, theihna te a om kikeih ding; TOUPA launa lah a gou ahi a.
7Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.
7Ngaiin, a pasalphate uh polamah a kikou ua; kituahna palaite lah a kap hohhoh uhi.
8The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.
8Lamliante lah a mualta ua, mi zin vialvakte lah a om nawn kei uh; amah lah thukhun a bohsiaa, khuate lah a musita, mi khawk a sa ta kei.
9The earth mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.
9Gam lah a kapin a gima; Lebanon tuh a zumin a vuaia; Sharon lah gamdai bang a hita; Bashan leh Karmelin a nah uh a sing khia uh.
10Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.
10TOUPAN, Tun ka thou dinga, tun ka kisa dinga, tun tawi sangin ka omta ding.
11Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you.
11Lou keu na pai ding ua, buhpawl na suang ding uh; na hu uh noumau kang mang ding mei ahi.
12And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
12Mi chih lah chinai suang hal bang, loulingnei vat sa meia a paih bang uh, a chi ding uh, a chi a.
13Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.
13Gamlapi-a omte aw, ka thil hih bilin na ja un; naichika omte aw, ka thilhihtheihdan thei un.
14The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
14Ziona mi gilou omten a lau ua; Pathian zahlou mite linnain a manta hi. I lak ua kua ahia thil kat mang ching mei kianga om ding? i lak uah kua ahia khantawna kang zoizoi kianga om ding?
15He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;
15Diktattaka oma diktaka gen jelmi; nuaisiahnate punna himhim bangmaha ngailou-a golhna la nuamlou-a bil huma, gilou himhim en nuamlou-a mitsi jel mi;
16He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
16Huai mi bel tunglamah a om dinga; a kidalna mun sang lah suangpi kidalnate ahi ding; a an lah a kianga piak ahi dinga, a tuite lah a om ngeingei ding.
17Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.
17Na miten kumpipa lah a kilawmnain a mu dinga, gam kiphalh za tak a hon en ding uhi.
18Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?
18A simmi koia omta ahia? siahliau tehmi koia omta ahia? galven insangte simmi koia omta ahia? chiin, na lungtangin thil mulkimhuai mahmah na ngaihtuah ding.
19Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.
19Mi hangtak, pau giltak na theihtheih louha pau mite, pau tuam na theihsiam louha pau mite, na mu nawnta kei ding.
20Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.
20I zehtanna khopi Zion en dih; na mitin Jerusalem omna muanhuaitak, puanin chikchianga leng suan louh ding, kaih gakna khet chik chiang aleng boh louh ding, a kaihna khau himhim kitat lou ding bang, a mu ding.
21But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.
21Huailaiah TOUPA, lui za pipi leh luitate omna mun, thupitakin i kiang uah a omzo ta ding; huai tui tungah kidouna long lianpi kalhna chiang neite himhim a pai kei dinga, long lian thupitak inleng a khen sam kei ding hi.
22For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.
22TOUPA lah i vaihawmpa ahi a, TOUPA lah dan hon pepa ahi a, TOUPA lah i kumpipa ahi; aman a honhondam ding hi.
23Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.
23Na khaute tuh kolsakin a om dinga; a puanjak peu bul uh lah a kipsak theikei ua, puanjak lah a jak theikei uh; huai laitakin gallak sum tampi hawmin a oma; khebaiten leng gallak sum a lata uhi.Huai khuaa mi omin, ka chi a na, chi kei dinga, a sunga mite tuh khelh ngaihdamin a om ding uhi.
24And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
24Huai khuaa mi omin, ka chi a na, chi kei dinga, a sunga mite tuh khelh ngaihdamin a om ding uhi.
