¹The burden of the valley of vision. What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops?

¹Kilanna guam puak gik, Bang na chi ua amai, in tung khawnga na kal touh vek uh?

²You that are full of shouting, a tumultuous city, a joyous town; your slain are not slain with the sword, neither are they dead in battle.

²Aw kikou husaa dim, khopi chiak vengvung, kho kipaktak, na sunga a thahte uh temsaua thah ahi kei ua, kikapnaa si leng ahi sam kei uh.

³All your rulers fled away together. They were bound by the archers. All who were found by you were bound together. They fled far away.

³Na vaihawmmi tengteng a tai mang chiat ua, thalkap mite gakin a om ua, gamlapi akipana hongtai mangte

⁴Therefore I said, “Look away from me. I will weep bitterly. Don’t labor to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

⁴Huaijiakin ken, Honen louin lehlam en un, nakpiiin ka kap sin; ka mite tanu gallaka a lak thu uah honnem nuam vang lak dah un, ka chi hi.

⁵For it is a day of confusion, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, in the valley of vision; a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the mountains.”

⁵TOUPA, sepaihte TOUPA akipanin kilakna guamah buaina leh sikdenna leh mangbatna ni lah ahi ngala; kulhpi bang hihsiatna leh tangte sapna

⁶Elam carried his quiver, with chariots of men and horsemen; and Kir uncovered the shield.

⁶Huchiin, Elamten thalbawm a tawi ua, mihing tuanna kangtalaite leh sakol tung tuangmite toh; Kirten lum tuamna lah a phel ua.

⁷It happened that your choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate.

⁷Huan, hichi ahi a, na guam hoihpente lah kangtalaiin a dimta a, sakol tungtuangmite lah kulh kongkhak bulah a kiphu noinoi uh. Huan, Judate khuhna a la mang hi.

⁸He took away the covering of Judah; and you looked in that day to the armor in the house of the forest.

⁸Huan, Judate khuhna a la mangta. Huchiin huai niin Gammang Ina galthuamna lam na enta uh.

⁹You saw the breaches of the city of David, that they were many; and you gathered together the waters of the lower pool.

⁹David khopi kulhpi siatna tate leng na en ua, a tam chih na thei uh: huan, dil khangnungjaw tuite na luangkhawm sak uhi.

¹⁰You numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and you broke down the houses to fortify the wall.

¹⁰Huan, Jerusalem inte na sim ua, kulhpi bang bawl hoihna dingin inte khawng na phel uh.

¹¹You also made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you didn’t look to him who had done this, neither did you have respect for him who purposed it long ago.

¹¹Dil lui tui omna dingin kulhpi nih kikalah tuichin khawmna na bawl ua; himahleh huai hihmi lam lah na en ngal kei ua, nidanglaia anabawlpa lah na limsak het kei uh.

¹²In that day, the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, called to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to dressing in sackcloth:

¹²Huai niin TOUPA, sepaihte TOUPAN, kap ding leh awm kitum ding leh lugiau sak ding leh saiip puan teng dingin a sam a:

¹³and behold, joy and gladness, killing cattle and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die.”

¹³Himahleh, ngaiin, nuamna leh kipahnate, bawng thahna leh belam thahnate, sa nekna leh uain dawnna te a om zota a, ne ni dawn ni, jingchiangin lah i si sin ngal ua, a chi uh.

¹⁴Yahweh of Armies revealed himself in my ears, “Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you until you die,” says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.

¹⁴Huchiin sepaihte TOUPA tuh ka bil ah a kilaka. Pellouin hiai khelhna na sih masiah uh na lak uah silsiang a hita kei ding, TOUPA, sepaihte TOUPAN a chi, chiin.

¹⁵Thus says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, “Go, get yourself to this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the house, and say,

¹⁵TOUPA, sepaihte TOUPAN, hichiin a chi, Kuan inla, hiai sumkempa vial kiangah, Shebna, in tunga heutu-a om kiang ngeingei ah, hohin.

¹⁶‘What are you doing here? Who has you here, that you have dug out a tomb here?’ Cutting himself out a tomb on high, chiseling a habitation for himself in the rock!”

¹⁶Huan, a kiangah hichiin genin, Hiaia bang hih na hia? hiai ah kua na neia, han hiaia na khuak vial? Amah adingin sangpi-a a han a khuaka, amah adinga suangpi-a omna a bawl vial!

¹⁷Behold, Yahweh will overcome you and hurl you away violently. Yes, he will grasp you firmly.

¹⁷Ngaiin, TOUPAN nang a paihin a honpai ek ding, mi hatin a paih bangin; ahi, a tunin nang a hontun ikek ding.

¹⁸He will surely wind you around and around, and throw you like a ball into a large country. There you will die, and there the chariots of your glory will be, you shame of your lord’s house.

¹⁸Pellouin aman nang lum bangin a honpei dinga, gam zapi-ah a honvawk lut ding: huailaiah na si dinga, huailai mahah, nang, na pu insung zahlaksakpa, na thupina kangtalaite a om ding hi.

¹⁹I will thrust you from your office. You will be pulled down from your station.

¹⁹Na nasepna akipan ka hondelh khe ding a, aman heutu na hihnaa kipan a honkaikhesuk ding hi.

²⁰It will happen in that day that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah,

²⁰Huan, huai niin hichi ahi dinga, ka sikha Eliakim, Hilkha tapa, ka sam dinga; amah na puannnak tual ka silh sak dinga.

²¹and I will clothe him with your robe, and strengthen him with your belt. I will commit your government into his hand; and he will be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.

²¹Na kawnggakin ka hihhat dinga, na vaihawmna amah khutah ka kem sak ding: Huchiin Jerusalema omte adin leh Juda inkuanpihte adingin pa ahi ding.

²²I will lay the key of the house of David on his shoulder. He will open, and no one will shut. He will shut, and no one will open.

²²Huan, David inkuanpihte tahbi a liangjang ah ka koih dinga: aman a hong dinga, kuamahin a khak kei ding uh: a khak dinga, kuamahin a hong kei ding uh.

²³I will fasten him like a nail in a sure place. He will be for a throne of glory to his father’s house.

²³Huan, amah, kilhna mun kiptaka a kilh ngiungeu bang un, ka hihkip ngiungeu dinga: huchiin amah tuh a pa inkuanpihte adingin laltutphah thupi mahmah ading ahi ding hi.

²⁴They will hang on him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the cups even to all the pitchers.

²⁴Huan, amahah a pa inkuanpihte thupina tengteng a bang vek ding ua, a tate leh a suante, tuiumbelsuan neu chiteng, belhbu tuiumbelsuan akipan tui koihna tuiumbelsuan tengteng tanin.Huai niin, kilhna, mun kip taka kilh ngiungeu-a omin a nangzou kei dinga; sat khiaka omin, a keta dinga, a tunga thil gik om lah hihmanthatin a omta dinga; TOUPAN huai lah a genta ngala, sepaihte TOUPAN a chi, chiin.

²⁵“In that day,” says Yahweh of Armies, “the nail that was fastened in a sure place will give way. It will be cut down, and fall. The burden that was on it will be cut off, for Yahweh has spoken it.”

²⁵Huai niin, kilhna, mun kip taka kilh ngiungeu-a omin a nangzou kei dinga; sat khiaka omin, a keta dinga, a tunga thil gik om lah hihmanthatin a omta dinga; TOUPAN huai lah a genta ngala, sepaihte TOUPAN a chi, chiin.
