¹Ninevi kho puak gik. Elkos mi Nahum kilakna bu

¹The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

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.

²God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies.

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.

³The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

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.

⁴He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.

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.

⁵The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.

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.

⁶Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.

⁷Toupa jaw a hoiha, mangbat nia kulh kip ahi; amaha a ginnna uh koihmite a thei hi.

⁷The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.

⁸Ahihhangin tui khang luang let zang in huai mun manthat vekna a tungsak dinga a melmate kho mial a delh lut ding.

⁸But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.

⁹TOUPA kalhin bang na gel ua? bei sipsipna a tungsak ahi, haksa nihveina a tung kei ding.

⁹What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.

¹⁰Ling nok banga omin a uain dawn un diah kawt dimdem bangin om mahleh, buhpawl keu bang maia hihman vekin a om ding uh.

¹⁰For while they be folden together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.

¹¹Nanga pawt mi khat TOUPa kalha thil gilou ngaihtuahmi, gitlouhna thu hilhmi a om.

¹¹There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the LORD, a wicked counsellor.

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.

¹²Thus saith the LORD; Though they be quiet, and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.

¹³Tunjaw na kiang akipan a hakkol ka kitansak ding, nang gakna khaute ka kitat sak vek ding.

¹³For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.

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.

¹⁴And the LORD hath given a 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.

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.

¹⁵Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.
