Nahum 1
1 Elkosh acaeng Nahum khaeah hnuksak ih cabu. Ninevah kawng pongah thuih ih lok loe hae tiah oh.
Burden of Nineveh. The Book of the Vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2 Angraeng loe ut thaih, lu la thaih Sithaw ah oh; palungphui moe, lu la Angraeng ah oh; Angraeng loe a misanawk nuiah palungphui pongah, a misanawk nuiah lu la tih.
A God zealous and avenging [is] Jehovah, An avenger [is] Jehovah, and possessing fury. An avenger [is] Jehovah on His adversaries, And He is watching for His enemies.
3 Angraeng loe palungphui zoi ai, thacak parai moe, zaehaih sah kaminawk to thuitaek ai ah khen sut mak ai: a loklam loe kamhae takhi hoi takhi sae nuiah oh, tamainawk loe a khok ih maiphu ah ni oh o.
Jehovah [is] slow to anger, and great in power, And Jehovah doth not entirely acquit, In a hurricane and in a tempest [is] His way, And a cloud [is] the dust of His feet.
4 Tuipui to a zoeh moe, tui to kaangsak, tuipuinawk to a kaangsak boih. Bashan hoi Karmel to azaemsak moe, Lebanon ih apawk to a zaisak.
He is pushing against a sea, and drieth it up, Yea, all the floods He hath made dry, Languishing [are] Bashan and Carmel, Yea, the flower of Lebanon [is] languishing.
5 Maenawk loe a hmaa ah anghuen o moe, maesomnawk loe tui ah amzawt o, ue, long hoi a thungah kaom kaminawk boih a hmaa ah hmai mah kangh.
Mountains have shaken because of Him, And the hills have been melted; And lifted up [is] the earth at His presence, And the world and all dwelling in it.
6 Anih palungphuihaih hmaa ah mi maw angdoe thai tih? Kanung parai anih palungphuihaih to mi mah maw pauep thai tih? Anih palungphuihaih loe hmai baktiah oh moe, anih hmaa ah loe thlungnawk doeh koih o boih.
Before His indignation who doth stand? And who riseth up in the heat of His anger? His fury hath been poured out like fire, And the rocks have been broken by Him.
7 Angraeng loe hoih, raihaih tongh naah abuephaih kahoih ah oh; anih tang kaminawk to a panoek.
Good [is] Jehovah for a strong place in a day of distress. And He knoweth those trusting in Him.
8 To ahmuen loe tui mah uem ueloe, boenghaih phasak tih; a misanawk to khoving thungah tanawt tih.
And with a flood passing over, An end He maketh of its place, And His enemies doth darkness pursue.
9 Tih pongah Angraeng misatuk hanah na poek o loe? Anih mah a misanawk to tamit boih tih; vai hnetto tamit han angai ai.
What do we devise against Jehovah? An end He is making, arise not twice doth distress.
10 Nihcae loe maeto hoi maeto angzaeng caeng soekhring baktiah oh o, mu paquih hmoek kami baktiah oh o moe, hmai mah kangh ih anghnoeng baktiah oh o.
For while princes [are] perplexed, And with their drink are drunken, They have been consumed as stubble fully dried.
11 Angraeng to kasae thuih o moe, kasae poekhaih tawn kami maeto, nang thung hoiah angzoh boeh.
From thee hath come forth a deviser of evil Against Jehovah — a worthless counsellor.
12 Angraeng mah, nihcae loe khosak hoih o moe, kami pop o parai cadoeh, amro o ueloe, anghma o boih tih. Kai mah nangcae to kang pacaekthlaek, toe natuek naah doeh kang pacaekthlaek let mak ai boeh.
Thus said Jehovah: Though complete, and thus many, Yet thus they have been cut off, And he hath passed away. And I afflicted thee, I afflict thee no more.
13 Vaihi anih ih hnam to nang khae hoiah ka vah moe, nang ih sumquinawk to ka takroek boih han, tiah thuih.
And now I break his rod from off thee, And thy bands I do draw away.
14 Angraeng mah nang kawng pongah lokpaek boeh; na hmin to om poe mak ai boeh: na sithaw imthung ah na soi o ih krang, na sak o cop ih krang to kang phraek pae boih han; na set o hmoek pongah, nang hanah taprong kang sak pae han.
And commanded concerning thee hath Jehovah, 'No more of thy name doth spread abroad, From the house of thy gods I cut off graven and molten image, I appoint thy grave, for thou hast been vile.
15 Maenawk nuiah kahoih tamthanglok kasin, monghaih lok thui kaminawk ih khok to khen oh! Aw Judah, nangmah ih poih to uum ah loe, na sak ih lokkamhaih to pazui ah: kasae na misa loe amro boeh pongah, anih mah na prae to muk let mak ai boeh.
Lo, on the mountains the feet of one proclaiming tidings, sounding peace! Celebrate, O Judah, thy festivals, complete thy vows, For add no more to pass over into thee doth the worthless, He hath been completely cut off!
