1Ask of Yahweh rain in the spring time, Yahweh who makes storm clouds, and he gives rain showers to everyone for the plants in the field.
1Vuah nanung hunin TOUPA vuah ngen un, meipite bawlpa TOUPA mahmah, huchiin vuah phinte, gama loupa khat tek kiangah, amaute a pe ding.
2For the teraphim have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie; and they have told false dreams. They comfort in vain. Therefore they go their way like sheep. They are oppressed, because there is no shepherd.
2Milimten lah bangmahlou thu a gen un, aisanten juau a muta ngal ua; mang juauthei a gen ua, a thawnin a lungmuan uh; huaijiakin belamte bangin amau lampi ah a pai ua, hihgimin a om ua, belamchingmi a om louh jiakin.
3My anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the male goats; For Yahweh of Armies has visited his flock, the house of Judah, and will make them as his majestic horse in the battle.
3Belamchingmite tungah ka hehna a puakjaka, a heutute uh ka gawt ding; sepaihte TOUPAN lah Juda inkote, a belamte a vehta ngala, kidounaa sakol hoih bangin amau a bawl ding.
4From him will come forth the cornerstone, from him the nail, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler together.
4Amau akipanin aninga-suang a hongpai khe dia, amau akipan puanin khetphim amau akipan kidouna thalpeu, amau akipan vaihawmpa toh.
5They shall be as mighty men, treading down muddy streets in the battle; and they shall fight, because Yahweh is with them; and the riders on horses will be confounded.
5Kidouna kongzingte a buannawa a melmate uh chil denin, mi hatte bangin a om ding ua; a kiang ua TOUPA a om jiakin a dou ding uh; huan sakolte tunga tuangte hihlungjinin a om ding uh.
6“I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them back; for I have mercy on them; and they will be as though I had not cast them off: for I am Yahweh their God, and I will hear them.
6Juda inkote ka hatsak dinga, Joseph inkote ka hondam dinga, amaute ka honla nawn ding, amau tungah lah chitna ka nei ngala; huchiin ka paihkhiak het louh bang a honghi ding uh; TOUPA a Pathian uh lah ka hi ngla, amau ka dawng ding hi.
7Ephraim will be like a mighty man, and their heart will rejoice as through wine; yes, their children will see it, and rejoice. Their heart will be glad in Yahweh.
7Huan Ephraim ate mi hatpa bangin a om ding ua, uain jiak bangin a lungtang uh a kipak ding hi; ahi, a tate un huai a mu ding ua, a kipak ding uh; TOUPa ah a lungtang uh a kipak ding hi.
8I will signal for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them; and they will increase as they have increased.
8Amau ka khutvan dinga, amau ka kaikhawm ding; amau lak ka tanta ngala; huan a napunkhitsa mah bang un a pung ding uh.
9I will sow them among the peoples; and they will remember me in far countries; and they will live with their children, and will return.
9Huan namte lakah hawldalh mahleng; gam gamla ahte kei hontheigige ding uh; huchiin a tate uh toh Ka kiangah hongkik nawn ding uh.
10I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and there won’t be room enough for them.
10Aigupta gam akipan zong amau ka pi khe nawn dinga, Assuria akipan amau ka kaikhawm ding; Gilead leh Lebanon gamah amau ka pi lut ding; amau adinga mun a om louh dongin.
11He will pass through the sea of affliction, and will strike the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the Nile will dry up; and the pride of Assyria will be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt will depart.
11Huchiin gimthuakna tuipi a pal tan ding ua, tuipia tuikihawtte khetin a omdingua, huchiin Nile thuknate tengteng a kang vek ding; huan Assuria kisaktheihna koihniamin a om dia, Aigupta lalchiang a paimang vengveng ding hi.Huan TOUPA ah amau ka hihhat dinga; a minin a vak tou un a vak suk ding uh, TOUPAN a chi.
12I will strengthen them in Yahweh; and they will walk up and down in his name,” says Yahweh.
12Huan TOUPA ah amau ka hihhat dinga; a minin a vak tou un a vak suk ding uh, TOUPAN a chi.
