¹Jawlnei Habakkuk thumna, Sigionoth toh kituaka bawl.

¹A prayer of Habakkuk, the prophet, set to victorious music.

²Aw TOUPA, na tanchin a gen uh ka jaa, ka lau hi; Aw TOUPA, kumte lakah nasep hihhalh ve, kumte lak ah kithei sak ve; thangpaihna chitna theigige-in.

²Yahweh, I have heard of your fame. I stand in awe of your deeds, Yahweh. Renew your work in the midst of the years. In the midst of the years make it known. In wrath, you remember mercy.

³Teman akipanin Pathian hongpaita, Paran tanga kipanin Mi Siangthou, a thupinain vante a tuama, amah phatna-in lei a dimta. Selah

³God came from Teman, the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and his praise filled the earth.

⁴A tetna vak bang ahi; a khuta kipana nizungte hongsuak hia nei hi; a thilhintheihna huaiah a khuh hi.

⁴His splendor is like the sunrise. Rays shine from his hand, where his power is hidden.

⁵A maah hi a paita, a khepekte ah suangkuangthei kuang apai kheta hi.

⁵Plague went before him, and pestilence followed his feet.

⁶A dinga, lei a teha; a mu a, namte a hawl jak hi; huan, khantawn tangte hihdalhin a omta ua, khan tawn mualte a kun uh; a paina nidanga bang ahi.

⁶He stood, and shook the earth. He looked, and made the nations tremble. The ancient mountains were crumbled. The age-old hills collapsed. His ways are eternal.

⁷Gimthuaknaa Kusan puaninte ka muta; Midan gam puanjakte a kising hi.

⁷I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction. The dwellings of the land of Midian trembled.

⁸Luite tunga TOUPA lungkumlou ahi de aw? luite tunga na hehna om hia, ahihkeileh tuipi tunga na thang paihna, na sakolte tunga na tuanna, hotdamna na kangtalaite tunga na tuan?

⁸Was Yahweh displeased with the rivers? Was your anger against the rivers, or your wrath against the sea, that you rode on your horses, on your chariots of salvation?

⁹Na thalpeu a vuak petmaha bawl ahi; namte kiangah kichiamnate thutak ahi uh. selah. Luite-in lei na khangkhamsak hi.

⁹You uncovered your bow. You called for your sworn arrows. Selah. You split the earth with rivers.

¹⁰Tangten nang honmu ua, a lau uh; tui khangin a khenga, tuithukin a aw a suaha, tung sangah a khutte a lik tou hi.

¹⁰The mountains saw you, and were afraid. The storm of waters passed by. The deep roared and lifted up its hands on high.

¹¹A omna uah ni leh kha a ding kinken ua; a pai bang un na thalte vak ah, na teipi te zolzol vah ah.

¹¹The sun and moon stood still in the sky, at the light of your arrows as they went, at the shining of your glittering spear.

¹²Hehin gam na pal suak petmaha, thangpaiin namte na chil hi.

¹²You marched through the land in wrath. You threshed the nations in anger.

¹³Na mipite hotdamna dingin na kuan khiaa, na sathau nilh hotdamna dingin; giloute in a kipan lutang na hihliama; ngawng chiang pha hialin suangphum na hihse vek. Selah

¹³You went forth for the salvation of your people, for the salvation of your anointed. You crushed the head of the land of wickedness. You stripped them head to foot. Selah.

¹⁴A galhatte lutang amah chiangte ngeiin na suna; kei hondalh sak dingin pingpei bangin a hongpai uh; nuam a sakna uh gentheite a guka ne khin ding bangin ahi.

¹⁴You pierced the heads of his warriors with their own spears. They came as a whirlwind to scatter me, gloating as if to devour the wretched in secret.

¹⁵Na sakolte-in tuipi na chila, tuihatte sunvum.

¹⁵You trampled the sea with your horses, churning mighty waters.

¹⁶Ka jaa, ka gilpi a kisinga, aw ah ka mukte a ling uh; ka guhte ah siatna a hongluta, huan ka mun ah ka linga; buai ni a, amah sim a honpipia hongkuan mite dou dia a hongpai thouh chianga ka lin louhna dingin, dai didein ka ngak ding.

¹⁶I heard, and my body trembled. My lips quivered at the voice. Rottenness enters into my bones, and I tremble in my place, because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble, for the coming up of the people who invade us.

¹⁷Theipi kung pak pha keiin, grep guite ah a gah om lou in; oliv sepgimna vuaksuakin, louten nekding piangsak lou-in; a huanga kipan ganhonte sat khiaka omin, huang-sungah ganta omte kei mahleh;

¹⁷For though the fig tree doesn’t flourish, nor fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive fails, the fields yield no food; the flocks are cut off from the fold, and there is no herd in the stalls:

¹⁸Huchiin leng TOUPA ah ka kipak ding, ka hotdamna Pathian ah ka nuam ding hi.Jehova, TOUPA, ka hatna ahi, ka khepekte zukpi khe bangin a bawla, ka mun sangte ah a honvak sak ding hi.

¹⁸yet I will rejoice in Yahweh. I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!
