¹I saw the Lord standing beside the altar: and he said, Smite the capitals, that the thresholds may shake; and break them in pieces on the head of all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: there shall not one of them flee away, and there shall not one of them escape.

²Though they dig into Sheol, thence shall my hand take them; and though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down.

²Misi khua phain tou paisuak mahle uh, huai akipain ka khutin ka lakhe dinga; van ah kal tou mahle uh huai akipan ka kaikhe ding.

³And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and it shall bite them.

³Karmel mual vumah bu mahle uh ka zong dinga, huaia kipan amau ka la suk dinga, huan, tupi taw ah ka mitmuh louhin bu mahle uh, huai akipan gul thu ka pe dinga, amau a tu ding hi.

⁴And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.

⁴A memate uh maah salin pai mahle uh, huai akipan namsaw thu ka pe dinga, amau a satlum dinga: hoihna hilouin, hoihlouhna dingina tunguah ka mit ka nga ding.

⁵For the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, [is] he that toucheth the land and it melteth, and all that dwell therein shall mourn; and it shall rise up wholly like the River, and shall sink again, like the River of Egypt;

⁵Gam khoiha, zutsakpa TOUPA, sepaih te Pathian ahi ngala; huan huailaia omte tengteng a lungkham ding ua; huan, Lui bangin a hongkhang dinga, Aigupta Lui bangin a kiam nawn ding;

⁶[it is] he that buildeth his chambers in the heavens, and hath founded his vault upon the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth; Jehovah is his name.

⁶Vana a dantante bawla, leitunga a dantan kual bawla, Tuipi tuite sama, leitunga sung bopa, a min TOUPA ahi.

⁷Are ye not as the children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith Jehovah. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?

⁷TOUPA, Aw, Israel tate aw, ka tungah Ethiopia tate bangin na om kei ua hia? Aigupta gam akipan Israel leh Kaphtor gam akipan Philistia mite leh Kir gam akipan Suria mite ka pikhe ka hia? a chi a.

⁸Behold, the eyes of the Lord Jehovah are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; save that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith Jehovah.

⁸TOUPAN, Ngai dih ua, TOUPA PATHIAN mit gam gilou tungah a tua, huan, leitung akipan ka hihmang dinga; ahihhangin Jakob inkote a hihse vek kei dinga, a chi a.

⁹For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations, like as [grain] is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least kernel fall upon the earth.

⁹Ngai dih ua, thu ka pe sin ngala; huan, hakbanga buh a haih bangun, Israel inkote nam tengteng lakah ka haih dinga; himahleh tang neupen leng leitungah a ke kei ding hi.

¹⁰All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, who say, The evil shall not overtake nor meet us.

¹⁰Ka mite mi khial tengteng, Hoihlouhnain a hon delhpha kei dinga, honpha top sam kei ding, chite namsauin a si ding uh, a chji a.

¹¹In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old;

¹¹Toupa, hiai thil hihpan, Guai ni chiangin David bawlta chim ka tungding dinga, a vangte ka hu dinga; a siate ka lem tou dinga, nidanglaia a om bangin ka lam ding;

¹²that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the nations that are called by my name, saith Jehovah that doeth this.

¹²Edom muna om laite leh ka mina sap nam tengtengte a neih theihna ding un, a chi a.

¹³Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.

¹³TOUPAN, Ngai dih ua, nite a hongtung lellel ahi; huai ni chiangin leiletmiin buh atmi a pha dinga, grep chilmiin chi thehmi a pha ding; huan, tangsangin uain khum a taksak dinga; tang tengteng a zul ding uh.

¹⁴And I will bring back the captivity of my people Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

¹⁴Huan, ka mi Israelte sal akipan ka pi kik nawn dinga; huan, kho kigawpsate a bawl nawn ding ua, a luah ding uh; huan, grep huante a bawl ding ua, a uain a dawn ding uh; huante leng a bawl ding ua, a gah a ne ding uh.Huan, a gam uah amau ka phut dinga, a kiang ua ka piak a gam ua kipan boh khiakna a om nawnta kei ding, TOUPA na Pathianin a chi hi.

¹⁵And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them, saith Jehovah thy God.

¹⁵Huan, a gam uah amau ka phut dinga, a kiang ua ka piak a gam ua kipan boh khiakna a om nawnta kei ding, TOUPA na Pathianin a chi hi.
