1Woe to you who destroy, but you weren’t destroyed; and who betray, but nobody betrayed you! When you have finished destroying, you will be destroyed; and when you have made an end of betrayal, you will be betrayed.
1Nang loh tuak ngei lou pi-a, aloka pang, lepchiah taka bawl tuak ngeilou pi-a, lepchiah taka pang, na tung a gik hi, Mi loh na tuak sam ding hi; lepchiah taka na hih khit chianain, na tungah lepchiah takin a hih ding uh.
2Yahweh, be gracious to us. We have waited for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
2Toupa aw, hon hehpihin; ka hon ngak nilouh uhi; jingsang tengin a ban uh honghi inla, buai hun chiangin leng hon hondampa honghi in.
3At the noise of the thunder, the peoples have fled. When you lift yourself up, the nations are scattered.
3Lum vengvung husain mi chih a taimang ta ua; nang na kisak hial chiangin nam chih hihdalhin a omta uh.
4Your spoil will be gathered as the caterpillar gathers. Men will leap on it as locusts leap.
4Na sum uh gallaka lak ding lungin thil a kaihkhawmin a om ding; khaupete a tawm duamduam uh bangin amaute tuh sum tungah a tawm duamduam ding uh.
5Yahweh is exalted, for he dwells on high. He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
5Toupa tawisangin a omta; tunglamah lah a om ngala; aman Zion lah vaihawm diktakna leh diktatnain a dimsak ta hi.
6There will be stability in your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of Yahweh is your treasure.
6Na dam sungin om kipna a om dinga. hotdamnate, pilnate, theihna te a om kikeih ding; TOUPA launa lah a gou ahi a.
7Behold, their valiant ones cry outside; the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
7Ngaiin, a pasalphate uh polamah a kikou ua; kituahna palaite lah a kap hohhoh uhi.
8The highways are desolate. The traveling man ceases. The covenant is broken. He has despised the cities. He doesn’t respect man.
8Lamliante lah a mualta ua, mi zin vialvakte lah a om nawn kei uh; amah lah thukhun a bohsiaa, khuate lah a musita, mi khawk a sa ta kei.
9The land mourns and languishes. Lebanon is confounded and withers away. Sharon is like a desert, and Bashan and Carmel are stripped bare.
9Gam lah a kapin a gima; Lebanon tuh a zumin a vuaia; Sharon lah gamdai bang a hita; Bashan leh Karmelin a nah uh a sing khia uh.
10“Now I will arise,” says Yahweh; “Now I will lift myself up. Now I will be exalted.
10TOUPAN, Tun ka thou dinga, tun ka kisa dinga, tun tawi sangin ka omta ding.
11You will conceive chaff. You will bring forth stubble. Your breath is a fire that will devour you.
11Lou keu na pai ding ua, buhpawl na suang ding uh; na hu uh noumau kang mang ding mei ahi.
12The peoples will be like the burning of lime, like thorns that are cut down and burned in the fire.
12Mi chih lah chinai suang hal bang, loulingnei vat sa meia a paih bang uh, a chi ding uh, a chi a.
13Hear, you who are far off, what I have done; and, you who are near, acknowledge my might.”
13Gamlapi-a omte aw, ka thil hih bilin na ja un; naichika omte aw, ka thilhihtheihdan thei un.
14The sinners in Zion are afraid. Trembling has seized the godless ones. Who among us can live with the devouring fire? Who among us can live with everlasting burning?
14Ziona mi gilou omten a lau ua; Pathian zahlou mite linnain a manta hi. I lak ua kua ahia thil kat mang ching mei kianga om ding? i lak uah kua ahia khantawna kang zoizoi kianga om ding?
15He who walks righteously, and speaks blamelessly; He who despises the gain of oppressions, who gestures with his hands, refusing to take a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of blood, and shuts his eyes from looking at evil—
15Diktattaka oma diktaka gen jelmi; nuaisiahnate punna himhim bangmaha ngailou-a golhna la nuamlou-a bil huma, gilou himhim en nuamlou-a mitsi jel mi;
16he will dwell on high. His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks. His bread will be supplied. His waters will be sure.
16Huai mi bel tunglamah a om dinga; a kidalna mun sang lah suangpi kidalnate ahi ding; a an lah a kianga piak ahi dinga, a tuite lah a om ngeingei ding.
17Your eyes will see the king in his beauty. They will see a distant land.
17Na miten kumpipa lah a kilawmnain a mu dinga, gam kiphalh za tak a hon en ding uhi.
18Your heart will meditate on the terror. Where is he who counted? Where is he who weighed? Where is he who counted the towers?
18A simmi koia omta ahia? siahliau tehmi koia omta ahia? galven insangte simmi koia omta ahia? chiin, na lungtangin thil mulkimhuai mahmah na ngaihtuah ding.
19You will no longer see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that you can’t comprehend, with a strange language that you can’t understand.
19Mi hangtak, pau giltak na theihtheih louha pau mite, pau tuam na theihsiam louha pau mite, na mu nawnta kei ding.
20Look at Zion, the city of our appointed festivals. Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet habitation, a tent that won’t be removed. Its stakes will never be plucked up, nor will any of its cords be broken.
20I zehtanna khopi Zion en dih; na mitin Jerusalem omna muanhuaitak, puanin chikchianga leng suan louh ding, kaih gakna khet chik chiang aleng boh louh ding, a kaihna khau himhim kitat lou ding bang, a mu ding.
21But there Yahweh will be with us in majesty, a place of broad rivers and streams, in which no galley with oars will go, neither will any gallant ship pass by there.
21Huailaiah TOUPA, lui za pipi leh luitate omna mun, thupitakin i kiang uah a omzo ta ding; huai tui tungah kidouna long lianpi kalhna chiang neite himhim a pai kei dinga, long lian thupitak inleng a khen sam kei ding hi.
22For Yahweh is our judge. Yahweh is our lawgiver. Yahweh is our king. He will save us.
22TOUPA lah i vaihawmpa ahi a, TOUPA lah dan hon pepa ahi a, TOUPA lah i kumpipa ahi; aman a honhondam ding hi.
23Your rigging is untied. They couldn’t strengthen the foot of their mast. They couldn’t spread the sail. Then the prey of a great spoil was divided. The lame took the prey.
23Na khaute tuh kolsakin a om dinga; a puanjak peu bul uh lah a kipsak theikei ua, puanjak lah a jak theikei uh; huai laitakin gallak sum tampi hawmin a oma; khebaiten leng gallak sum a lata uhi.Huai khuaa mi omin, ka chi a na, chi kei dinga, a sunga mite tuh khelh ngaihdamin a om ding uhi.
24The inhabitant won’t say, “I am sick.” The people who dwell therein will be forgiven their iniquity.
24Huai khuaa mi omin, ka chi a na, chi kei dinga, a sunga mite tuh khelh ngaihdamin a om ding uhi.
