1Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in justice.
1Ngaiin, kumpipa khat diktat takin kumpipain a tu dinga, mi lainten vaihawmna diktakin vai a hawm ding uh.
2A man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the storm, as streams of water in a dry place, as the shade of a large rock in a weary land.
2Huan, mi khat huihpi laka bukna mun bang leh, vuahpi laka bitna mun bang ahi ding, mun keua tui luangte bang, gam tultaka suangpi lianpi nuamsa bang tak.
3The eyes of those who see will not be dim, and the ears of those who hear will listen.
3Huchiin a mute mite a mial kei dinga, a zate bilin a ngaikhe ding.
4The heart of the rash will understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly.
4Huan, sin-gammite lungin theihna thu a thei siam dinga, dang-awkte lei teltakin a pau thei ding.
5The fool will no longer be called noble, nor the scoundrel be highly respected.
5Mi gilou tuh mi thilphal a chi nawnta kei ding uh, milepchiah lah mi siam a chi nawn kei ding uh.
6For the fool will speak folly, and his heart will work iniquity, to practice profanity, and to utter error against Yahweh, To make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
6Pathien zahlouhna thil hih ding leh. TOUPA hekna dia thu diklou gen dingin, gilkialte sung hawmsak ding leh, dangtakte dawn ding hihmang dingin, mi gilouin lah gitlouhna thu a gen ngal dia, a lung lah thil a hih khial ding.
7The ways of the scoundrel are evil. He devises wicked devices to destroy the humble with lying words, even when the needy speaks right.
7Mi lepchiah vante jaw hoih lou ahi a; tangahten thu dik a gen un leng mi gentheite juau thu-a hihmang dingin aman lah thil lah thil gilou hih a ngaituah jel hi.
8But the noble devises noble things; and he will continue in noble things.
8Mi thilphal bel thilphal lam thilte a ngaihtuah: huchiin thilphal lam thilte ah a om gige ding.
9Rise up, you women who are at ease! Hear my voice! You careless daughters, give ear to my speech!
9Numei mawkomte aw, thou unla, ka aw ngaikhia un; tanu pilvangloute aw ka the genah bil doh un.
10For days beyond a year you will be troubled, you careless women; for the vintage shall fail. The harvest won’t come.
10Numei pilvangloute aw, kum khat leh ni bangzah hiam nungin na buaita ding uh; grep loh ding lah a om ngal kei dinga, grep loh khawm dingah leng bangmeh a suak sam kei ding hi.
11Tremble, you women who are at ease! Be troubled, you careless ones! Strip yourselves, make yourselves naked, and put sackcloth on your waist.
11Nunei mawkomte aw, ling nun: mi pilvenagloute aw, buaitakin on un; kisuah unla, vuaktangin kibawl unla, na kawng uahte saiip puan teng un.
12Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
12Lou deihte jiak leh grep gui gah nuamte jiakin a awm a tumtum ding uh.
13Thorns and briars will come up on my people’s land; yes, on all the houses of joy in the joyous city.
13Ka mite gam loulingnei leh khaulingneiin a buak ding; ahi, khopi nopsakhuai taka nopsakna in tengteng tungah:
14For the palace will be forsaken. The populous city will be deserted. The hill and the watchtower will be for dens forever, a delight for wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks;
14Kumpipa in lah paisanin a om sin ngala; a mual pawng leh a galvanbuk lah khantawn kohawm ding leh, gam sanengtung kipahnate, ganhon tatna mun te ahi ding;
15Until the Spirit is poured on us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is considered a forest.
15tung lama kipana kha ka tung ua suna a oma, gamdai lei hoih tak mun a suaha. lei hoihtak mun lah gammang banga sim a hih mateng.
16Then justice will dwell in the wilderness; and righteousness will remain in the fruitful field.
16Huai hunin vaihawm diktatna tuh gamdaiah a teng dinga, diktatna tuh lei hoih tak munah a om ding.
17The work of righteousness will be peace; and the effect of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.
17Huan, diktatna nasep tuh kituahna ahi dinga, diktatnaa thil pawt lah khantawna muang taka omna leh kitheihchetna ahi ding.
18My people will live in a peaceful habitation, in safe dwellings, and in quiet resting places.
18Huchiin ka mite bel galmuanga omnaah leh in kipakah te leh khawlna mun muanhuaitakahte a omta ding uhi.
19Though hail flattens the forest, and the city is leveled completely.
19Himahleh gammang bel hihpuk ding in gial a ke lomlom dinga; khopi lah hihniam mahmahin a om ding.Tui luanna piaua chi theh jel, bawngtal leh sanengtung khah jel te aw, nuam na sa uhi.
20Blessed are you who sow beside all waters, who send out the feet of the ox and the donkey.
20Tui luanna piaua chi theh jel, bawngtal leh sanengtung khah jel te aw, nuam na sa uhi.
