¹An oracle. The word of Yahweh is against the land of Hadrach, and will rest upon Damascus; for the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is toward Yahweh;

¹Hadrad gam douin TOUPA thu a kilaka, Damaska a khawlna mun ahi ding; Aram khopite TOUPA ahi, Israel namte tengteng ahih bang un;

²and Hamath, also, which borders on it; Tyre and Sidon, because they are very wise.

²Huaia gamgit pih Hamath leng; Turaleh Sidon, pil mahmah mahle uh

³Tyre built herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver like the dust, and fine gold like the mire of the streets.

³Huan Tura kulh muanhuai takin a kilam khetaa, leivui bangin dangka a vum venvona, kongzingtea buannawi bangin dangkaeng hoih.

⁴Behold, the Lord will dispossess her, and he will strike her power in the sea; and she will be devoured with fire.

⁴Himahleh, Ngaiin, TOUPAN amah neihlehlam a laksak dinga, tuipia a hauhsakna a pai ding; huchiin amah meia nekgaih a honghi ding hi.

⁵Ashkelon will see it, and fear; Gaza also, and will writhe in agony; as will Ekron, for her expectation will be disappointed; and the king will perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon will not be inhabited.

⁵Askelonin huai a mu dinga, a lau ding; Gazain leng, huan, nakpia suknatin a om ding; huan Ekron, a lametna lah zahlak ding ahi ngala; huan Gaza akipan kumpipa a mangthang dinga, Askelon luahin a om kei ding hi.

⁶Foreigners will dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.

⁶Huchiin Asdod ah chisiangloute a teng dingua, Philistiate kisaktheihna kasat khe ding hi.

⁷I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth; and he also will be a remnant for our God; and he will be as a chieftain in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.

⁷Huan a kam akipan a sisan ka la mang dinga, a hate kikal akipanin a kihhuainate; huchiin amah leng i Pathiana dingin omsun ahi ding hi; huan Jebusmi bangin Juda leh Ekron ah hausa ahi ding hi.

⁸I will encamp around my house against the army, that none pass through or return; and no oppressor will pass through them any more: for now I have seen with my eyes.

⁸Huchiin sepaihpawl dou dingin ka in akimavelin ka um ding, huchia kuamah a pai suak uhiam a kik nawn louhna ding un; huchiin nuaisiahmiin a paltan nawnta kei ding; tun lah ka mit mahmahin ka muta ngala.

⁹Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion! Shout, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King comes to you! He is righteous, and having salvation; lowly, and riding on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

⁹Aw Zion tanu, nakpi mahmahin kipak in; Aw Jerusalem tanu, kikou in; ngaiin, na kumpipa na kiangah a hong hi; amah a diktata, hotdamna a nei; kiniamkhiakin, sabengtung tung, sabentungte tuan ngei nailouh tung mahmaha tuangin.

¹⁰I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; and the battle bow will be cut off; and he will speak peace to the nations: and his dominion will be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.

¹⁰Ephraim akipan kangtalai leh Jerusalem akipan sakol ka sat khe dinga, kidouna thalpeu sat khiakin a om dinga; namte kiangah lemna thu a gen ding; huchiin a gam tuipi akipan tuipi tan, Lui akipan lei tawpnate tan ahi ding.

¹¹As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant, I have set free your prisoners from the pit in which is no water.

¹¹Nang tungthu ah leng, na thukhun sisan jiakin tui om louhna kokhuk akipanin na suangkulhtangte ka sawl kheta hi.

¹²Turn to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope! Even today I declare that I will restore double to you.

¹²Nou lametna suangkulhtangte, kulh muanhuai lam ah kihei un; tuni mahmahin na tungah a zahnihin ka honpe ding chih ka phuang hi.

¹³For indeed I bend Judah as a bow for me. I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will stir up your sons, Zion, against your sons, Greece, and will make you like the sword of a mighty man.

¹³Juda lah thalpeu bangin ka laikulta ngala, Ephraim thala bawlin thalpeu ah ka bulhta hi; Aw Zion, na tapate dou dingin na tapate ka tokthou ding, Aw Grik, huchiin mi hat namsau bangin, nang ka honbawl ding.

¹⁴Yahweh will be seen over them; and his arrow will go flash like lightning; and the Lord Yahweh will blow the trumpet, and will go with whirlwinds of the south.

¹⁴Huchiin amau tungah TOUPA akimu dinga, khophia bangin a thal a pai khe ding; huan TOUPA PATHIAN in pengkul a mut dia, simlam pingpei toh a pai khe ding hi.

¹⁵Yahweh of Armies will defend them; and they will destroy and overcome with sling stones; and they will drink, and roar as through wine; and they will be filled like bowls, like the corners of the altar.

¹⁵Sepaihte TOUPAN a mau a hun dinga; suang sailungtangte a sikden ding ua; a negai ding ua, huan uain bangin a sisan uh a dawn ding ua; huan noubem te bangin a dim ding ua, maitam ningte bangin a kawt ding uh.

¹⁶Yahweh their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people; for they are like the jewels of a crown, lifted on high over his land.

¹⁶Huan huai ni chiangin TOUPA a Pathian un amaute a hondam ding a belam honte ahi ngal ua; lallukhua suangmantamte bangin a gamah a tang ding uh.Ahi, A hoihna lah a lian mahmaha, a kilawmna lah a thupi mahmah ngala; buhlehbalin tangvalte a pha sak dinga, uain thakin nungakte.

¹⁷For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.

¹⁷Ahi, A hoihna lah a lian mahmaha, a kilawmna lah a thupi mahmah ngala; buhlehbalin tangvalte a pha sak dinga, uain thakin nungakte.
