¹The burden of the word of Jehovah upon the land of Hadrach, and Damascus [shall be] its resting-place (for the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is toward Jehovah);

¹Hadrad gam douin TOUPA thu a kilaka, Damaska a khawlna mun ahi ding; Aram khopite TOUPA ahi, Israel namte tengteng ahih bang un;

²and Hamath, also, which bordereth thereon; Tyre and Sidon, because they are very wise.

²Huaia gamgit pih Hamath leng; Turaleh Sidon, pil mahmah mahle uh

³And Tyre did build herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.

³Huan Tura kulh muanhuai takin a kilam khetaa, leivui bangin dangka a vum venvona, kongzingtea buannawi bangin dangkaeng hoih.

⁴Behold, the Lord will dispossess her, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.

⁴Himahleh, Ngaiin, TOUPAN amah neihlehlam a laksak dinga, tuipia a hauhsakna a pai ding; huchiin amah meia nekgaih a honghi ding hi.

⁵Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; Gaza also, and shall be sore pained; and Ekron, for her expectation shall be put to shame; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.

⁵Askelonin huai a mu dinga, a lau ding; Gazain leng, huan, nakpia suknatin a om ding; huan Ekron, a lametna lah zahlak ding ahi ngala; huan Gaza akipan kumpipa a mangthang dinga, Askelon luahin a om kei ding hi.

⁶And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.

⁶Huchiin Asdod ah chisiangloute a teng dingua, Philistiate kisaktheihna kasat khe ding hi.

⁷And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth; and he also shall be a remnant for our God; and he shall be as a chieftain in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.

⁷Huan a kam akipan a sisan ka la mang dinga, a hate kikal akipanin a kihhuainate; huchiin amah leng i Pathiana dingin omsun ahi ding hi; huan Jebusmi bangin Juda leh Ekron ah hausa ahi ding hi.

⁸And I will encamp about my house against the army, that none pass through or return; and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with mine eyes.

⁸Huchiin sepaihpawl dou dingin ka in akimavelin ka um ding, huchia kuamah a pai suak uhiam a kik nawn louhna ding un; huchiin nuaisiahmiin a paltan nawnta kei ding; tun lah ka mit mahmahin ka muta ngala.

⁹Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy king cometh unto thee; he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass.

⁹Aw Zion tanu, nakpi mahmahin kipak in; Aw Jerusalem tanu, kikou in; ngaiin, na kumpipa na kiangah a hong hi; amah a diktata, hotdamna a nei; kiniamkhiakin, sabengtung tung, sabentungte tuan ngei nailouh tung mahmaha tuangin.

¹⁰And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; and the battle bow shall be cut off; and he shall speak peace unto the nations: and his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.

¹⁰Ephraim akipan kangtalai leh Jerusalem akipan sakol ka sat khe dinga, kidouna thalpeu sat khiakin a om dinga; namte kiangah lemna thu a gen ding; huchiin a gam tuipi akipan tuipi tan, Lui akipan lei tawpnate tan ahi ding.

¹¹As for thee also, because of the blood of thy covenant I have set free thy prisoners from the pit wherein is no water.

¹¹Nang tungthu ah leng, na thukhun sisan jiakin tui om louhna kokhuk akipanin na suangkulhtangte ka sawl kheta hi.

¹²Turn you to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope: even to-day do I declare that I will render double unto thee.

¹²Nou lametna suangkulhtangte, kulh muanhuai lam ah kihei un; tuni mahmahin na tungah a zahnihin ka honpe ding chih ka phuang hi.

¹³For I have bent Judah for me, I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will stir up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and will make thee as the sword of a mighty man.

¹³Juda lah thalpeu bangin ka laikulta ngala, Ephraim thala bawlin thalpeu ah ka bulhta hi; Aw Zion, na tapate dou dingin na tapate ka tokthou ding, Aw Grik, huchiin mi hat namsau bangin, nang ka honbawl ding.

¹⁴And Jehovah shall be seen over them; and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning; and the Lord Jehovah will blow the trumpet, and will go with whirlwinds of the south.

¹⁴Huchiin amau tungah TOUPA akimu dinga, khophia bangin a thal a pai khe ding; huan TOUPA PATHIAN in pengkul a mut dia, simlam pingpei toh a pai khe ding hi.

¹⁵Jehovah of hosts will defend them; and they shall devour, and shall tread down the sling-stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, like the corners of the altar.

¹⁵Sepaihte TOUPAN a mau a hun dinga; suang sailungtangte a sikden ding ua; a negai ding ua, huan uain bangin a sisan uh a dawn ding ua; huan noubem te bangin a dim ding ua, maitam ningte bangin a kawt ding uh.

¹⁶And Jehovah their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people; for [they shall be as] the stones of a crown, lifted on high over his land.

¹⁶Huan huai ni chiangin TOUPA a Pathian un amaute a hondam ding a belam honte ahi ngal ua; lallukhua suangmantamte bangin a gamah a tang ding uh.Ahi, A hoihna lah a lian mahmaha, a kilawmna lah a thupi mahmah ngala; buhlehbalin tangvalte a pha sak dinga, uain thakin nungakte.

¹⁷For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! grain shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.

¹⁷Ahi, A hoihna lah a lian mahmaha, a kilawmna lah a thupi mahmah ngala; buhlehbalin tangvalte a pha sak dinga, uain thakin nungakte.
