1Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.
1Himahleh lungluaua omkhinnu adingin nguina himhim a omta kei ding. Nidanglaiin Zebulun gam leh Naphtali gam simmohhuaiin a omsaka, himahleh hun nanungah jaw thupitakin a omsakta, dil geiah, Jordan galah, nam chih Galili mah.
2The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
2Mi mial nuaia vakten vak thupitak a mutu ua: sihna lim gama omte tung mahmah ah vak a hongvakta hi.
3Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
3Nam lah na tamsaktaa, a nopsakna uleng na khangsakta hi: buhlak laia nuamsa bangin na maah nuam a sata ua, min gallak sum a hawm ua nuam a sa bang mai un.
4For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.
4A puakgik puakna hakkol leh a liangjanga jawnna jawl, amah nuaisiahte khetbuk mah, Midiante zohni bangin na suktansakna ngala.
5For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
5Chiak vengvunga mi galthuama a kithuamna tengteng u leh puansilh sisan toh kidiah niaunuau tengteng, hala, meia khul ding phet lah ahi ngala.
6For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
6Ei dingin naupang a hongpianga, tapa piakin in omta; vaihawmna a liangjangah a tuang dinga; a min Lamdang, Lemthei, Pathian Hat, Khantawn Pa, Lemna Lal lah a chi sin ngal ua.
7Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
7David tutphah tungah leh a gam tungah a vaihawmna khandan leh lemnain tawpni a neikei ding, hihkip ding leh tua kipana khantawn tana leng vaihawmna leh diktatna tungding dingin, Sepaihte TOUPA phatuamngaihnain huaite a hih ding.
8The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
8TOUPAN Jakobte gamah thu a khaka, Israelte tungah a keta.
9And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,
9Huchiin mi tengteng, Ephraimte leh Samaria om, kisatheitak leh lungsima ki-uangsak.
10The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.
10Tekleite jaw chim mahleh, suangtak sekin i lemna ding; theipi singte sattanin om mahleh, sidar singtein i kheng na ding, chiten a thei ding uh.
11Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together;
11Huaijiakin TOUPAN Rezin doumite amah dou dingin a tawisang dinga;
12The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
12A melma, suahlama Suriate, tumlama Philistiate, a tokthou ding; huchiin kam kain Israelte a ne khin ding uh. Huchi lawmlawma hihin leng a hehna a dai keia, a khut a lik lailai hi.
13For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts.
13Himahleh miten amaute vopa lam a nga tuan kei ua, Sepaihte TOUPA lah a zong tuan kei uhi.
14Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.
14Huaaijiakin TOUPAN Israelte akipanin a lutang leh a mei, tum hiang leh pumpeng ni khat thuin a bantan ding.
15The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
15Upa leh mizahtakhuaite, a lutang ahi ua; juauthu sinsak sek jawlneite, a mei ahi uh.
16For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
16Hiai mite piten a pi khial nak uhi, a pite uh hihmanthatin a om nak uhi.
17Therefore the LORD shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
17Huaijiakin TOUPa a tangvalte uh tungah a kipak kei dinga, a tagahte uleh a meithaite uleng a hehpih sam kei ding; a vek un Pathian zahlou mi leh thil hoihlou hihmite ahi chiat un, kam tengtengin lah thuginalou a gen chiat ngal a. Hichi lawmlawma a hih inleng, a hehna lah a dai keia, a khut a lik lailai hi.
18For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.
18Gitlouhna lah mei bangin a kuang luahluah sek ngala, lou lingnei leh khaulingneite a kangmang sek; ahi, gammang nong lak khawngah a kang lualuaa, a khu tou ngoingoi.
19Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother.
19Sepaihte TOUPA heh jiakin gam a kang siaa, mite leng meia khulding sing bang ahi ua; kuamahin amau unau leng a hawi kei uhi.
20And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:
20Huchiin min a taklam ua mi a tuh ding ua, himahleh a tai tuan kei ding uh; mi chihin amau ban sa a ne chiat ding uh.Manasiten Ephraimte a ne ding ua, Ephraimten Manasite a ne ding ua; huan, a nih un Judate a dou khawm ding uh. Huchi lawmlawma a hihin leng, a hehna lah a dai keia, a khut a lik lailai hi.
21Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
21Manasiten Ephraimte a ne ding ua, Ephraimten Manasite a ne ding ua; huan, a nih un Judate a dou khawm ding uh. Huchi lawmlawma a hihin leng, a hehna lah a dai keia, a khut a lik lailai hi.
