1The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
1Ninevi kho puak gik. Elkos mi Nahum kilakna bu
2Jehovah is a jealous God and avengeth; Jehovah avengeth and is full of wrath; Jehovah taketh vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth [wrath] for his enemies.
2TOUPa mullit hat Pathian leh phu lak ching ahi; TOUPAN phu a laa, hehnain a dim hi; TOUPAN amah doumite tungah hu a laa, a melmate adingin hehna a khol khawm ahi.
3Jehovah is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means clear [the guilty]: Jehovah hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
3TOUPA a sin a nela, nakpi taka thilhihthei ahia, mi mohte siam a tang sak mahmah kei ding; TOUPAN pingpei leh huihpi ah a lampi a nei a, meipite a khe leivui ahi.
4He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel; and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.
4Tuipi a sala, a kangtat saka, lui tengteng leng a kang sak khina; Basan gam a baha, Karmel tang leh Lebanon tang pak a bah uhi.
5The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt; and the earth is upheaved at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
5Tang liante amah jiakin a ling ua, tang neute a zul mang ua; amaah lei a vuaka, ahi khovel leh a sunga om tengteng tohin.
6Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken asunder by him.
6A lunghih louhna maiah kua ahia ding theidinga, a hehna thupi tak ah kua ahia om thei ding? a hehna mei banga sunbuak ahi a, suangpite a kek jak sak vek hi.
7Jehovah is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that take refuge in him.
7Toupa jaw a hoiha, mangbat nia kulh kip ahi; amaha a ginnna uh koihmite a thei hi.
8But with an over-running flood he will make a full end of her place, and will pursue his enemies into darkness.
8Ahihhangin tui khang luang let zang in huai mun manthat vekna a tungsak dinga a melmate kho mial a delh lut ding.
9What do ye devise against Jehovah? he will make a full end; affliction shall not rise up the second time.
9TOUPA kalhin bang na gel ua? bei sipsipna a tungsak ahi, haksa nihveina a tung kei ding.
10For entangled like thorns, and drunken as with their drink, they are consumed utterly as dry stubble.
10Ling nok banga omin a uain dawn un diah kawt dimdem bangin om mahleh, buhpawl keu bang maia hihman vekin a om ding uh.
11There is one gone forth out of thee, that deviseth evil against Jehovah, that counselleth wickedness.
11Nanga pawt mi khat TOUPa kalha thil gilou ngaihtuahmi, gitlouhna thu hilhmi a om.
12Thus saith Jehovah: Though they be in full strength, and likewise many, even so shall they be cut down, and he shall pass away. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.
12TOUPAN hichiin a chi: a hat theih tawp un hat mah le uh, tam leng tampi hi mah le uh, huchi piin leng vat pukin a om ding ua, a mangthang ding. Honna hihgim khin mah leng ka honhihgim nawnta kei ding.
13And now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.
13Tunjaw na kiang akipan a hakkol ka kitansak ding, nang gakna khaute ka kitat sak vek ding.
14And Jehovah hath given commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image; I will make thy grave; for thou art vile.
14TOUPAN na tungtang thuah thu a piaa, na min chi banga theh ahi nawnta kei dinga: na pathiante in akipan milim bawl tawm leh milim sunte ka hihmangthang ding a; na han ka bawl ding; na gilou ngala.Tangtea tanchin hoih tuna, lepna thu tangkoupihte khe en dih; Aw Juda, na ankuangluite tang inla, na thuchiamte tangtun in; mi thuginalouin lah a hon pak paisuak nawn sin ngal keia; hihmanthat vek a hita hi.
15Behold, upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! Keep thy feasts, O Judah, perform thy vows; for the wicked one shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.
15Tangtea tanchin hoih tuna, lepna thu tangkoupihte khe en dih; Aw Juda, na ankuangluite tang inla, na thuchiamte tangtun in; mi thuginalouin lah a hon pak paisuak nawn sin ngal keia; hihmanthat vek a hita hi.
