1Sisan suah hat khopi a tung a gik hi; juau leh kilohnain a dim khina; a sa keih uh tatlak lou ahi.
1Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departeth not;
2Jepna van gingte, kangtalai khe sin gingte, sakol tawm te, kangtalai tai guapguap te toh;
2The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the pransing horses, and of the jumping chariots.
3Sakol tung tuang mi sakola tuangte, namsau te zolzolte, teipi te zualzual te toh; mi thah om lemlum te, luang om jiajua te toh; luangij bei chih mahmah a neikei; a luangte uh a sui ua:
3The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the glittering spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcases; and there is none end of their corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:
4Huai tuh, kijuak mel hoih, bunsiamnu, a angkawmna jiaka nam juaka, a bum hatna jiaka inkuan juaknu angkawmna thupi mahmah jiaka hongawm ahi.
4Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts.
5Sepaihte TOUPAN hichiin a chi: Ngaiin, ka hondou ahi; na mai lamah na puan ka lem dinga; na vuaktanna namte kiangah leh na zahlakna kumpipa gamte kiangah ka ensak ding.
5Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.
6Nin kihhuai mahmahin ka hontheh dinga, zumhuai mahmahin ka honbawl dinga, muhnop adingin ka hon koih ding.
6And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazingstock.
7Huan, hichi ahi dinga, nang honmu peuhmahnanga kipan a taimang ding ua, Ninevi khua a hongse gawp ta hi:
7And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?
8Luite kikala om No-amon, a kima tuiin a um, a kulh dinga tuipi zanga a kulh bang dinga tuipi neisangin na hoih jaw ahia?
8Art thou better than populous No, that was situate among the rivers, that had the waters round about it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea?
9Ethipia leh Aigupta a hatna ahi a, huai bel tawp hun chih hei lou ahi; Put leh Lubim bel nang panpihte ahi uh.
9Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers.
10Huchi pipiin leng lak mangin a om a, salin a tang a: kongzing teng tawpah a naupang neute a paih nen sak uh: a mi thahte adingin ai a san ua, a mi liante tengteng khainianga gak ahi uh.
10Yet was she carried away, she went into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the top of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honourable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
11Nang leng na kham sam dinga, selin na om ding; melma jiakin kulh kip na zong lai ding hi.
11Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt be hid, thou also shalt seek strength because of the enemy.
12Na kulh tengteng theipi kung, gah min masa pu bang ahi ding ua: a lin peuhmah uleh nemi kamah a ke lut jel uh.
12All thy strong holds shall be like fig trees with the firstripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.
13Ngaiin, na sunga na mipite numei ahi ua; na melmate din an kongpi a kihong heihou: na kikalhna sik tawnte meiin a kang tun ahi.
13Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open unto thine enemies: the fire shall devour thy bars.
14Umkimvela na om sung adingin tui tawi inla, ka kulhte hihkipin: tungman omnaah hoh inla, suangmatna chil inla, lei hal takna thuk hihkipin.
14Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify thy strong holds: go into clay, and tread the morter, make strong the brickkiln.
15Huailaiah meiin a hongkang tum dinga, namsauin a honsat lum dinga, singnget bangin a honhih mang thang ding. Singnget bangin kitamsak inla, khaukhup bangin kihihtamin.
15There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall eat thee up like the cankerworm: make thyself many as the cankerworm, make thyself many as the locusts.
16Na sumsinmite van aksi sanga tamin na khang saka: singngetin a hihsiaa, a leng mang mai sek.
16Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoileth, and fleeth away.
17Lallukhu khu na mite lah khaukhup bang ahi ua, na sepaihte kho dam nia gawla khaupe hon bok khawm bang ahi uh, ahihhangin ni a hongsuaka, a leng mang ua, a omna mun himhim uh theih ahi kei.
17Thy crowned are as the locusts, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.

18Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell in the dust: thy people is scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them.
19NA natna damna sing a om kei; na liamna a thupi mahmah hi: na husa zapeuhin khut a honbet khum ua; na gitlouhnain a tup gige louh kua a oma?
19There is no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?
