1He that dasheth in pieces is come up against thee: keep the fortress, watch the way, make thy loins strong, fortify thy power mightily.
1Kitam gawpsakpa na mai maah a hongpawt hi: galvan keiin inla, lampi vengin, na kawng khausak inla na thilhihtheihna hat takin bawl hoihin
2For Jehovah restoreth the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel; for the emptiers have emptied them out, and destroyed their vine-branches.
2Israelte thupina bangin Jakopte thupina TOUPAN a tungding nawn ngal a: hih-awngmiten amau a hih-awng khinta ua, a grepte uh a hihseta ngal ua
3The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet: the chariots flash with steel in the day of his preparation, and the cypress [spears] are brandished.
3A mi hatte lum sansak ahi a, mi hangsante a san-auin a kivan ua; a kisakna niin kangtalaite kahpasik tetin a te kolkola, teipite mulkim huai takin a phe zolzol hi.
4The chariots rage in the streets; they rush to and fro in the broad ways: the appearance of them is like torches; they run like the lightnings.
4Kangtalaite kongzingah a tai gomgoma; lamlian jate ah a kiphu okok ua; meisel bangin a lang ua, khophia bangin a tai jualjual uh ahi.
5He remembereth his nobles: they stumble in their march; they make haste to the wall thereof, and the mantelet is prepared.
5A mi liante a thei khiaa: a kituaka pai uh a kisui ua; kulh bang lam juanin a kinoh ua, thil belh ding a bawl ua.
6The gates of the rivers are opened, and the palace is dissolved.
6Lui kongkhakte hon ahi a, kumpipa in hihbeiin a om.
7And it is decreed: she is uncovered, she is carried away; and her handmaids moan as with the voice of doves, beating upon their breasts.
7Huan, Huzzab a lem ua, a paimang pih ua, a sikhanuten a awm uh tumin vakhu ham bangin a kah ua.
8But Nineveh hath been from of old like a pool of water: yet they flee away. Stand, stand, [they cry]; but none looketh back.
8Nidang laia kipan Ninevi khua jaw dil bang ahi a; himahleh kuamah a kihei nawn kei uh.
9Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold; for there is no end of the store, the glory of all goodly furniture.
9Dangka sik sumte lak sak unla, dangkaeng sumte lak sak un; thil sek khawm leh van hoih tengteng thupi danin tawpni beini a nei ngal keia.
10She is empty, and void, and waste; and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and anguish is in all loins, and the faces of them all are waxed pale.
10Sukvuakin a oma, a vuak keuhkeuha, a siang sipsip: lungtang a zul manga, khukte a kihot ua, kawng tengteng a na tuntuna, a vek ua mel a mual khin vek ahi.
11Where is the den of the lions, and the feeding-place of the young lions, where the lion [and] the lioness walked, the lion's whelp, and none made them afraid?
11Kuamah suklau louha a omna uh, humpinelkai tal te, humpinelkai pi te, humpinelkai nou te a pai vialvialna uh himpinelkai bu jang leh humpinelkai nouten a nekna mun uh koi ah ahia?
12The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his caves with prey, and his dens with ravin.
12Humpinelkai talin a noute kham khop a bot nena, humpinelkai pite a din a kei luma, a kokhukte uh sa keihin a dim saka, a bu jangte saluang boh janin.Sepaihte TOUPAN, ngaidih, ka hondou ahi, a kangtalaite ka hah thu vung vung dinga, na humpinelkai noute namsauin a hihmang ding; huan, leia na sa keih ka sutawp dinga, na palaite aw jak ahi nawnta kei ding, a chi a.
13Behold, I am against thee, saith Jehovah of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions; and I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard.
13Sepaihte TOUPAN, ngaidih, ka hondou ahi, a kangtalaite ka hah thu vung vung dinga, na humpinelkai noute namsauin a hihmang ding; huan, leia na sa keih ka sutawp dinga, na palaite aw jak ahi nawnta kei ding, a chi a.
