¹The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

²Aroer khote taisanin a omta; belam honte omna ding ahi mai ding, huaite lah a om ngei ding ua, kuamahin a lausak kei ding uh.

²The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

³Ephraim akipanin kulhpi a mang dinga, Damaska akipan gam a mang ding, Suria gama om sunte leng a mang ding uh; Israel suante thupina bang lelin a om ding uh, sepaihte TOUPAN a chi hi.

³The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts.

⁴Huai ni chiangin hichi ahi dinga, Jakob thupina hihgawnin a om dinga, a sa thauna leng a honggawngta ding hi.

⁴And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.

⁵Huchiin buh lapan buh a laka, a vuite a lak bang mai ahi dinga, ahi, Rephaim guamah min buh maihkhakte a tom bang mai uh ahi ding hi.

⁹In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation.

¹⁰Nang honhondampa Pathian na mangngilha, na hatna Suangpi lah na theigige ngal keia; huaijiakin kung kilawm taktakte na suan seka, a sungah hiang tuamte na vut tang niaunuau seka:

¹⁰Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips:

¹¹Na suan niin na khang sak a, jingsangin thil chi lah na paksak seka; ahihhangin gah loh lah lungngaihna leh natna thupi tak niin a mang sek hi.

¹¹In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.

¹²A, mipi tampi ging nuanua, tuipite ging nuanua banga ging nuanuate leh nam chih ging hawhaw, tui thupitakte ging hawhaw banga ging hawhawte tel o!

¹²Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!

Huailah gallaka honlak sakmite tan ahi a, hon guksakmite tuam leng ahi hi.

¹³The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.

¹⁴Nitaklamin, ngaiin, thil mulkimhuai tak a om a; huan, khovak main lah a om nawn kei uh. Huailah gallaka honlak sakmite tan ahi a, hon guksakmite tuam leng ahi hi.

¹⁴And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he is not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.
