1“Come down, and sit in the dust, virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, daughter of the Chaldeans: for you shall no more be called tender and delicate.
1Babulon tanu nungak aw, hongsuk inla, leivuiah tuin; Kaldai tanu aw, laltutphah lou-ah leiah tuin: om nou leh nuamsa honchi nawn lou ding uhi.
2Take the millstones, and grind meal; remove your veil, strip off the train, uncover the leg, pass through the rivers.
2Buh gawijanna suangte la inla, tangbuang bawlin: nakikhuhna puan koih inla, na ten tual lem inla, na khe hong inla, luite ngap galkahin.
3Your nakedness shall be uncovered, yes, your shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and will spare no man.”
3Na vuaktanna khuhlouin a om dinga, ahi, na zahmoh a dawk ding: phu ka la dinga, mi kuamah ka kithuahpih kei ding.
4Our Redeemer, Yahweh of Armies is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
4A hontanpa, a min sepaihte Toupa ahi, Israelte Mi Siangthou.
5“Sit in silence, and go into darkness, daughter of the Chaldeans; for you shall no more be called the mistress of kingdoms.
5Kaldai tanu aw, dai didein tu inla, mial nuaiah lutin, Gam cih lalnu honchi ta kei ding uh hi.
6I was angry with my people, I profaned my inheritance, and gave them into your hand: you showed them no mercy; on the aged you have very heavily laid your yoke.
6Ka mite tungah ka heha, ka goutan ka hihthanghuaia, na khutah ka honpia hi: nang a tunguah hehpihna himhim na langsak kei a; teklamte tungah nangawng na hakkol giktak na ngata hi.
7You said, ‘I shall be a mistress forever;’ so that you did not lay these things to your heart, nor did you remember the latter end of it.
7Huan, Kei khantawnin lalnu dingin ka om ding, na chi a: huchiin huai thilte lah na lungsimin na ngaihtuah keia, a tawpna ding lah na theigige sam kei hi.
8“Now therefore hear this, you who are given to pleasures, who sit securely, who say in your heart, ‘I am, and there is none else besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:’
8Huchiin nang nuamtata om, awlmohneilou-a om, lungsima, Keimah ka hi, kei mah lou mi dang himhim a om kei uh, meithaiin ka tu kei dinga, tate tan thu lah ka thei sam kei ding, chinu, hiai theiin:
9but these two things shall come to you in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood; in their full measure shall they come on you, in the multitude of your sorceries, and the great abundance of your enchantments.
9Hiai thil nih, tate tanna leh meithainain, ni khat thuin mitphiatkal louin a honpha ding ahi: na bumna zatna tamngialin, na kivenna tam kuam mahleh, huaite nakpitakin na tungah a hongtung ding hi.
10For you have trusted in your wickedness; you have said, No one sees me; your wisdom and your knowledge, it has perverted you, and you have said in your heart, I am, and there is none else besides me.
10Na gitlouhna muanga; Kuamahin honmuse kei uh, na chi vial ngala; na pilna leh na theihnain honhihsia hi: Keimah ka hi, kei lou midang himhim a om kei, na lungsimin na chibehlap hi.
11Therefore evil will come on you; you won’t know when it dawns: and mischief will fall on you; you will not be able to put it away: and desolation shall come on you suddenly, which you don’t know.
11Huaijiakin thil hoihlou na tungah a hongtung dinga; a ven dan na siam kei ding: vangtahnain a honbuak dinga; huai lah na hihmang theikei ding: siatna leng thakhatin na tungah hongtung guih dinga; huai na theikhol kei ding.
12“Stand now with your enchantments, and with the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have labored from your youth; if so be you shall be able to profit, if so be you may prevail.
12Na kikauna leh bumna na zatna, naupang nou na hih akipana na kisukgimnate, dinpih tanla; na phattuampih theih ding phota, na zohpih theih ding phot leh.
13You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels: let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save you from the things that shall come on you.
13Na lemtheih a tam mahmah jiakin na gimta hi: tuin van thutheite, aksi-enmite, kha tenga thugekholmite ding uhenla, na tunga thil hongtung dingte laka kipanin honhong le uh a ke.
14Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: it shall not be a coal to warm at, nor a fire to sit before.
14Ngaiin, buhpawl bang lel ahi ding ua; meiin a kang ding; meikuang thilhihtheihna laka kipan a kihumbit kei ding uh: hihlumna ding meihol bang ahi kei dinga, awi ding mei bang lah ahi sam kei ding.Huchibangin na kihihgim nakna thilte nanga dingin a om ding uhi: na naupan nou akipana na laka sumsinmite amau lampi chiatah a vak mang ding ua; honhumbit ding kuamah himhim a om kei ding uh.
15Thus shall the things be to you in which you have labored: those who have trafficked with you from your youth shall wander everyone to his quarter; there shall be none to save you.
15Huchibangin na kihihgim nakna thilte nanga dingin a om ding uhi: na naupan nou akipana na laka sumsinmite amau lampi chiatah a vak mang ding ua; honhumbit ding kuamah himhim a om kei ding uh.
