1Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grape gleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat; my soul desireth the first-ripe fig.
1Ka tung gikna mai e: nipi thei a sek khawm hun laia om bang leh grep loh hun laia grep maiah loh ding bang lah ka hi ngala: gah bom nek nek ding a om kei; ka hinnain theipi min masa a lunggulh hi.
2The godly man is perished out of the earth, and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.
2Pathian limsakmi lei a kipan a mang ua, mihing lakah mi diktak mahmah a om kei uh: sisan suah dingin a tang vek ua; mi chihin amau unau lenin a gem uhi.
3Their hands are upon that which is evil to do it diligently; the prince asketh, and the judge [is ready] for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth the evil desire of his soul: thus they weave it together.
3A khutte uh thil hoihlou tunga thanuam taka hih dingin a nga ua; kumpipan a ngena, vaihawmpan a phuta; mi lianin a lungsim thil hihkhelhna a gen khiaa: huchibang in a kithutuak uhi.
4The best of them is as a brier; the most upright is [worse] than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen, even thy visitation, is come; now shall be their perplexity.
4A lak ua mi hoihpen loulingnei bang ahi a; mi dik pen leng dai ling nei sangin a hoih kei jaw: nang vengmite ni, veha na om ni ngei a hongtung hi; huai bel a mangbat ni uh ahi ding.
5Trust ye not in a neighbor; put ye not confidence in a friend; keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
5Lawm ah muang kei unla, makai mi ah leng ginna koih kei un: na angsunga omnu akipanin na kam kongkhakte hoih takin vengin.
6For the son dishonoreth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
6Tapain pa min a hihsiaa, tanuin a nu a dou a, mou-in a pi a dou ngal a; mihing melmate jaw amah inkote mah ahi uh.
7But as for me, I will look unto Jehovah; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
7Ken jaw TOUPA lam ka en dinga; ka hotdamna Pathian ka ngak ding; ka Pathianin a honngaikhe sin ahi.
8Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, Jehovah will be a light unto me.
8Aw ka melma, honawi ken: ka puk hun chiangin ka thou nawn ding; miala ka tut in leng TOUPA kei din vak ahi ding.
9I will bear the indignation of Jehovah, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, [and] I shall behold his righteousness.
9TOUPA tunga thil ka hih khelh jiakin, a lunghihlouhna mahmah ka po ding, ka tung thu a hongen piha, kei dia vaihawmna a tangtun ma siah; vakah a honpi khe dinga, huan, diktatna ka mu ding.
10Then mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her who said unto me, Where is Jehovah thy God? Mine eyes shall see [my desire] upon her; now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
10Huchiin ka melma ka kianga, TOUPa na Pathian koiah, chipan huai a mu dinga, zahlaknam amah a tuam ding. Ka miten amah a en ding a: tun jaw kongzing buannawi banga sikden a hita ding.
11A day for building thy walls! in that day shall the decree be far removed.
11Na kulh bangte bawlna ni ding: huai ni chiangin thusehpen gamlapi phaa zatsak ahi ding.
12In that day shall they come unto thee from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt even to the River, and from sea to sea, and [from] mountain to mountain.
12Huai ni chiangin Assuria gam leh Aigupta khopi akipan te, Aigupta leh Lui pha hiala kipan te, tuipi leh tuipi kikal akipan te leh tang leh tang kikal akipan tein na kiangah a hongpai ding uh.
13Yet shall the land be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.
13Huchi piin leng gam, a sunga tengte jiak leh a thilhih gah uh jiakin hihgam ahi ding.
14Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thy heritage, which dwell solitarily, in the forest in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
14Karmel tang kala gamnuaia lungjuang taka om na gou tan belam hon, na mite na khetbuk zangin vak inla: nidang lai bangin Basan leh Gilead ah vakin om chiat uhen.
15As in the days of thy coming forth out of the land of Egypt will I show unto them marvellous things.
15Aigupta gam akipana na pai khiak lai bangin a kiang ah thillamdang mahmah te ka en sak ding.
16The nations shall see and be ashamed of all their might; they shall lay their hand upon their mouth; their ears shall be deaf.
16Nam chihin huai a mu ding ua, a thilhihtheihna tengteng uh a zumpih ding uh: a muk uh a hum ding ua, a beng uh a ngong ding.
17They shall lick the dust like a serpent; like crawling things of the earth they shall come trembling out of their close places; they shall come with fear unto Jehovah our God, and shall be afraid because of thee.
17Gul bangin leivui a liak ding ua; khupboha paite bangin a omna kua ua kipanin ling kawmin a hongpai ding uh: TOUPA i Pathian kiangah laudansiam kawmin a hongpai ding ua, nang jiakin a lau ding uh.
18Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth over the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in lovingkindness.
18Nang banga thulimlouhna ngaidampa leh a goutan om sun tatlekna nelhsiahpa Pathian kua a oma? a hhna khantawnin a vom gige kei, hehpihna a a kipah mahmah sek jiakin.
19He will again have compassion upon us; he will tread our iniquities under foot; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
19A kilehhei nawn dinga, i tungah hehpihna a nei ding; i thulimlouhnate a khe nuaiah a sikden ding; nang amau khelhna tengteng tuipi taw thukpi ahte na pai lut ding.Nidang laia ka pu te uh pute kianga na kichiamsa, Jakob kianga thutak leh Abraham kianga hehpihna na tangtun ding hi.
20Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, [and] the lovingkindness to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.
20Nidang laia ka pu te uh pute kianga na kichiamsa, Jakob kianga thutak leh Abraham kianga hehpihna na tangtun ding hi.
