¹Of the children of Ammon. Thus says Yahweh: Has Israel no sons? has he no heir? why then does Malcam possess Gad, and his people well in its cities?

¹Amon Tate thu, TOUPAN hichiin a chi: Israelin tate a nei ka hia? Gouluahmi neilou hia? Bangachia ahia Gad Milkomin a tan louha, a mite khopitea a ten uh;

²Therefore behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard against Rabbah of the children of Ammon; and it shall become a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel possess those who possessed him, says Yahweh.

²Huaijiakin, ngai un, nite a hontung hi, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi. Kidou husa ging kaki zasak ding,. Amon tate, Rabah khua ah, thil sia omkhawm lel a honghi ding hi, a tanute meiin a kang dinga, huchiin Israelin amah neimi a nei thuk ding, TOUPAN a chi.

³Wail, Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste; cry, you daughters of Rabbah, clothe yourself in sackcloth: lament, and run back and forth among the fences; for Malcam shall go into captivity, his priests and his princes together.

³Aw Heshbon, mau tuaituai inla, Ai lah a lok khinta ngala ua; Rabbah tata aw, kap un, kap unla, umna sungahte vial tai un. Milkom sala piin a om sin ngala, a siampu leh a mi liante toh.

⁴Why do you glory in the valleys, your flowing valley, backsliding daughter? who trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come to me?

⁴Bangdia na guam hoihte suang nahia, aw muanhuailounu a neih hoihhoihte muanga, Kua ahia honsual ding, chichi nakmi?

⁵Behold, I will bring a fear on you, says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, from all who are around you; and you shall be driven out every man right forth, and there shall be none to gather together the fugitives.

⁵Ngai in, launa na tungah ka hontun sin, na kima mi tengteng a kipan, chih TOUPA, sepaihte PATHIAN thu pawt ahi: mi chih delhkhiak na hi vek ding uh, kuamahin taikekpawl a kaikhawm kei ding uh.

⁶But afterward I will bring back the captivity of the children of Ammon, says Yahweh.

⁶Huai khit chiangin bel Amon tate omdan ka kiheisak ding, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi.

⁷Of Edom. Thus says Yahweh of Armies: Is wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished?

⁷Edom thu. Sepaihte TOUPAN hichiin a chi: Temana pilna om nawn lou ahi maw? Lemthei lemtheihna a mang khinta ahia? A pilna uh mang khin hia?

⁸Flee, turn back, dwell in the depths, inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau on him, the time that I shall visit him.

⁸Aw Dedana tengte aw, taikek unla, lehngat unla, tum mang vengveng un; Esau siatna a tungah ka hontun sin hi, amah ka gawt hun chiangin.

⁹If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, wouldn’t they destroy until they had enough?

⁹Grep loumite na kianga a hongpai un, maih a neikei ding ua hia? Jana guta miten a deihzah uh a ngah masiah un a lik jel kei ding ua hia?

¹⁰But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is destroyed, and his brothers, and his neighbors; and he is no more.

¹⁰Esau ka vuaktangsak taa, a guk khuh sekte ka hongta, a bu thei nawn kei ding. A suante hihsiat ahi ua, a unaute, a insakinkhangte toh, a omta kei.

¹¹Leave your fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let your widows trust in me.

¹¹Na nau pa neiloute limsak ken, ken ka hum ding, na meithaiten kei honmuang uhen.

¹²For thus says Yahweh: Behold, they to whom it didn’t pertain to drink of the cup shall certainly drink; and are you he who shall altogether go unpunished? You shall not go unpunished, but you shall surely drink.

¹²TOUPAN hichiin a chi: Nou dawn lou ding ten leng a dawn mawk uleh, nang gawt louh hialin na suakta sin ahia? Gawt louhin na pawt kei ding, na dawn mahmah ding.

¹³For I have sworn by myself, says Yahweh, that Bozrah shall become an astonishment, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all its cities shall be perpetual wastes.

¹³TOUPAN keimah kilouin ka kichiamta ngala, Bozrah bel lamdang sak chiat, gen siat, hihgawp, hamsethuak ahi ding, a khua tengteng leng a segawp tawntung ding, a chi.

¹⁴I have heard news from Yahweh, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, Gather yourselves together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle.

¹⁴TOUPA kiang akipan thupuan ka zata, namte kiangah sawltak sawl ahita, Kikai khawm unla, amah sual unla, kidou din kuan un.

¹⁵For, behold, I have made you small among the nations, and despised among men.

¹⁵Ngai in, namte lakah nang ka honneusakta ngala, mihingte huhsitin.

¹⁶As for your terror, the pride of your heart has deceived you, O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, who hold the height of the hill: though you should make your nest as high as the eagle, I will bring you down from there, says Yahweh.

¹⁶Na kihihmulkimhuaina tak na lungtang kisatheiin a honkhemna ahi, aw nang kawl suang kala, mual vum teng jel, mu bangin, sangpi ah bu sep mahlechin, huaia kipanin ka honlakhe suk himhim ding, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi.

¹⁷Edom shall become an astonishment: everyone who passes by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all its plagues.

¹⁷Huan, Edom bel lamdang sak chiat a honghi dinga, mi vialvak peuhin lamdang a sa ding ua, a nak siat jiakin a tek khum ding uh.

¹⁸As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities of it, says Yahweh, no man shall dwell there, neither shall any son of man live therein.

¹⁸Sodom leh Gomorrah leh a kima khopite hihsiata om mahbangin, kuamah a teng nawn kei ding ua, mihing ta kuamah huaiah a om ngei nawn kei ding uh.

¹⁹Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation: for I will suddenly make them run away from it; and whoever is chosen, him will I appoint over it: for who is like me? and who will appoint me a time? and who is the shepherd who will stand before me?

¹⁹Ngai un, Jordan gam gammang akipana humpinelkai, gan khahna munah a hong tou dinga; amah akipan amau ka taimang sak pah dinga, a tunga thu nei dingin ka utut ka sep ding. Keimah bang kua ahia om? Kuan ahia hunbi honkhiah sak ding? Belamchingmi kua ahia ka maa ding dingpen?

²⁰Therefore hear the counsel of Yahweh, that he has taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely they shall drag them away, the little ones of the flock; surely he shall make their habitation desolate over them.

²⁰Huaiziakin Edom tunga TOUPA thuhilh leh Teman mite tunga a thil seh, hih a tup pente ngaikhia un: gan hon nou neute ngei kaih mangin a om ding ua; a tenna uh a hihgawp ding.

²¹The earth trembles at the noise of their fall; there is a cry, the noise which is heard in the Red Sea or, Sea of Reeds .

²¹A puk siatna husa uah lei a kisinga; a kap husa uh Tuipi san ah leng jak ahi ding.

²²Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread out his wings against Bozrah: and the heart of the mighty men of Edom at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

²²Ngia un, muvanlai bangin a hongleng tou dinga; Bozra tungah a kha a jak ding: huai niin Edom mi hangsante lungtang leng numei nauvei lungtang bang lel ahi ding hi.

²³Of Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad; for they have heard evil news, they are melted away: there is sorrow on the sea; it can’t be quiet.

²³Damsakna thu. Hamath zum ta, Arpad toh, thu hoihlou a zata ngal ua, a zulta uh; tuipi kihot om kinken theilou bangin a buai uh.

²⁴Damascus has grown feeble, she turns herself to flee, and trembling has seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken hold of her, as of a woman in travail.

²⁴Damsaka a thajaw, taikek a tuma, linnain a lapa. Lungkhamna leh nain a lenta, numei nauvei bang maiin.

²⁵How is the city of praise not forsaken, the city of my joy?

²⁵Khopi minthang leh kipahhuai kingtana mai e:

²⁶Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be brought to silence in that day, says Yahweh of Armies.

²⁶Huchiin huai niin a tangval honte kongtual ah a puk ding ua, agalkapmi tengteng a mangthang ding uh, chih sepaihte TOUPA thu pawt ahi.

²⁷I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall devour the palaces of Ben Hadad.

²⁷Huan, Damaska khulh bangah mei ka khak dinga, Benhadad kumpipa inte a kang khin ding.

²⁸Of Kedar, and of the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck. Thus says Yahweh: Arise, go up to Kedar, and destroy the children of the east.

²⁸Kedar leh Hazor gamte Babulon kumpipa Nebukadnezzarin a gawtna thu: TOUPAN hichiin a chi: Thou unla, Kedar sual unla, suahlam tate bawlek un.

²⁹Their tents and their flocks shall they take; they shall carry away for themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry to them, Terror on every side!

²⁹A puaninte uh, a gan honte uh a laksak ding ua, a puan jakte uh, a tuiumbelsuan tengteng uh, a sa ngawngsaute uh a pai mang pih ding uh, ning chih ah launa a oma, chiin miten a kikou khum ding uh.

³⁰Flee, wander far off, dwell in the depths, you inhabitants of Hazor, says Yahweh; for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has taken counsel against you, and has conceived a purpose against you.

³⁰Tai kek unla, vak mang vengveng un, tum mang vengveng unla, Aw Hazora tengte aw, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi. Babulon kumpipa Nebukadnezzarin nang a honsawma, na tungah hih tup a neita hi.

³¹Arise, go up to a nation that is at ease, that dwells without care, says Yahweh; that have neither gates nor bars, that dwell alone.

³¹Thou unla, lungmuang taka om, amaha khosa, kulh kongkhak leng neilou, kalhna sik tawn leng neilou nam sual un, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi.

³²Their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their livestock a spoil: and I will scatter to all winds those who have the corners of their beards cut off; and I will bring their calamity from every side of them, says Yahweh.

³²A sangawngsaute uh galin a la ding ua, a bawng honpi uh a lok ding uh. Baksam met giau honte ning chih ah ka dalhsak ding, a siatna ding uh ning chih akipanin ha hontun ding, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi. Huan,

³³Hazor shall be a dwelling place of jackals, a desolation forever: no man shall dwell there, neither shall any son of man live therein.

³³Huan, Hazot bel sihna tenna mun ahi dinga, a segawp tawntung ding, huaiah kuamah a teng nawnta kei ding uh, mihing tate himhim a omta kei ding uh.

³⁴The word of Yahweh that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,

³⁴Juda kumpipa Zedekia lal pattungna Elam tungtanga TOUPA thu, jawlnei Jeremia kianga hong tung:

³⁵Thus says Yahweh of Armies: Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.

³⁵Sepaihte TOUPAN hichiin a chi: Ngai un, Elam thalpeu, a hatna bulpi pen uh, ka kitansak ding;

³⁶On Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of the sky, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation where the outcasts of Elam shall not come.

³⁶Kolmong li akipanin huih lite ka hontun ding, Elam tungah; ka dalhsak ding, kawlmong chih ah, Elam delhkhiak mite phak louhna nam himhim a omkei ding uh.

³⁷I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before those who seek their life; and I will bring evil on them, even my fierce anger, says Yahweh; and I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them;

³⁷A melma uh, a hinna uh zongmite maah, Elamte ka lunglel sak khin ding, a tunguah siatna ka hontun ding, ka hehna mahmah tak, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi. Amau namsau ka delhsak ding, ka hihman vek masiah.

³⁹But it shall happen in the latter days, that I will bring back the captivity of Elam, says Yahweh.

³⁹Himahleh ninanungte ah hichi ahi ding, Elam omdan ka kiheisak ding, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi hi.
