¹Juda kumpipa, Amon tapa Josia damlaia, kusi tapa, Gedalia tapa, Amaria tapa, Hezekia tapa, Zephania kianga TOUPA thu hongtung

¹The word of the LORD which came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah.

²Leitunga kipan thil tengteng ka subei sipsip ding, TOUPAN a chi.

²I will utterly consume all things from off the land, saith the LORD.

³Mihing leh sa ka subei ding; vana tungleng vasate, tuipia ngasate, giloute toh kipalpuknate ka subei ding; huan leitunga kipanin mihing ka sat khe ding hi, TOUPAN a chi.

³I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks with the wicked: and I will cut off man from off the land, saith the LORD.

⁴Huan, Juda tung leh, Jerusalema tengte tengteng tungah ka khut ka lik ding; hiai muna kipanin Baal omlaite leh, milimbiak-hat siampute min ka sat khe ding;

⁴I will also stretch out mine hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the name of the Chemarims with the priests;

⁵Intung khawnga van aksihonte biate; TOUPA kianga kuna kichiamte, Milkoma kichiamte;

⁵And them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship and that swear by the LORD, and that swear by Malcham;

⁶Huan, TOUPA zuihna akipan lehheia omte, leh TOUPA zong loua, amah kan loute.

⁶And them that are turned back from the LORD; and those that have not sought the LORD, nor enquired for him.

⁷TOUPA PATHIAN maah dai sisipin, TOUPA ni lah a naita ngala; TOUPAN lah kithoihna a bawlkhol khina, misapte a hihsiangthou khinta hi.

⁷Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: for the day of the LORD is at hand: for the LORD hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests.

⁸Huan T TOUPA kithoih ni chiangin hichi ahi dinga, lalte, leh kumpipa tapate leh, gamdang puana kijem huchibang tengteng ka gawt ding.

⁸And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD's sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel.

⁹Huan huai ni chiangin, phual kana tawmte tengteng, hiamgamna leh khemnaa a pu uh in hihdimte, ka gawt ding.

⁹In the same day also will I punish all those that leap on the threshold, which fill their masters' houses with violence and deceit.

¹⁰Huai ni chiangin Ngasa Kongpi akipan kah ging leh, Omna Nihna akipan chiauna leh, tangte akipana nakpi taka kiakna a om ding, TOUPAN a chi.

¹⁰And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and an howling from the second, and a great crashing from the hills.

¹¹Chiau un, nou Maktes-a tengte, sumsin mite tengteng a omta kei ua; dangka teh te tengteng sat khiakin a om uhi.

¹¹Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant people are cut down; all they that bear silver are cut off.

¹²Huai hun chiangin hichi a honghi dinga, khawnvaktein Jerusalem ka zong ding; mi tengdeta, a lungtang ua, TOUPA thil hoih a hih kei ding, gilou leng a hih sam kei ding, chite ka gawt ding.

¹²And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil.

¹³Huchiin a hauhna uh gallak a honghi dia, a inte uh a segawp ding; ahi, inte a lam ding ua, himahleh a luah kei ding uh; grephuante a bawl ding ua, himahleh huai a uain a dawn kei ding uh.

¹³Therefore their goods shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation: they shall also build houses, but not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.

¹⁴TOUPA ni thupi a naia, a naia a kinoh mahmah, TOUPA ni aw mahmah; mi thilhihtheitak huai laiah a kap lawlaw.

¹⁴The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.

¹⁵Huai ni thangpaihna ni ahi, lungjinna leh dahna ni, mialna leh lungkiakna ni, meipi leh khomial bikbek hi.

¹⁵That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,

¹⁶Pengkul leh gallauna ni, khopi daikaih siatna, a ninga insangte siat ni.

¹⁶A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.

¹⁷Huan mite tungah dahna ka tun dinga, mittaw mite bangin a vak ding uh, TOUPa tunga thil a hihkhelh jiak un; huchiin a sisan uh leivui banga butkhiakin a om dinga, a sa uh eklei bangin.TOUPA thangpaihna ni chiangin a dangka uhiam a dangkaeng uhiamin amaute a tankhe theikei ding; himahleh a mullitna meiin gam pum pi a nebei dinga; hihbei ding a hih jiakin, ahi, beina mulkimhuai, gamsunga tengte tengteng.

¹⁷And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.

¹⁸TOUPA thangpaihna ni chiangin a dangka uhiam a dangkaeng uhiamin amaute a tankhe theikei ding; himahleh a mullitna meiin gam pum pi a nebei dinga; hihbei ding a hih jiakin, ahi, beina mulkimhuai, gamsunga tengte tengteng.

¹⁸Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.
