1 Keiman Pakai chu maicham phung kom’a adin kamun, Aman hitin aseiye, “Hou-in pumpi chu, akibulphuna jouse geija achimlhah kahsen, akingapna khompi ho jouse chu jep jep jeng inlang, intingvum, Chuleh athimoh ahingdoh chengse jong chu, keiman chemjam’a kasatlih soh hel ding, koimacha ajamdoh umlouhel ding ahiuve.

I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and he said, “Strike the tops of the pillars, that the thresholds may shake. Break them in pieces on the head of all of them. I will kill the last of them with the sword. Not one of them will flee away. Not one of them will escape.

2 Amahon noimigam geijin leiko kilaiju jong leh, keiman noimigam’a kon’a amaho kahin kaidoh diu ahi. Chuleh vanchung geijin amaho kaldoh’u jong leh, keiman van’a kon’a amaho ka kailhah diu ahi. (Sheol h7585)

Though they dig into Sheol, there my hand will take them; and though they climb up to heaven, there I will bring them down. (Sheol h7585)

3 Chuleh Carmel molsang vum’a amaho gakisel jongleu, hikom’a jong chu keiman amaho kaholdoh’a, kakaidoh diu ahi. Twikhanglen noilam peh’a amaho gakisel jong leu, Keiman gulpi ka sol’a, aga chuh den diu ahikit’e.

Though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out from there; and though they be hidden from my sight in the bottom of the sea, there I will command the serpent, and it will bite them.

4 Chuleh amelma teuvin amaho chu sohchang in tolmang jong leu, keiman chemjam choiho katildoh’a, asatlih gam hel diu ahi. Hiche ahi, koiman amaho chunga manthahna kapohlut ding, chu teng mihem koiman amaho chu apanpi thei louhel diu ahi.

Though they go into captivity before their enemies, there I will command the sword, and it will kill them. I will set my eyes on them for evil, and not for good.

5 Pakai van Pathen in Leiset chung a tohkhah leh ajunlha jeng in, chuleh leiset chung cheng jouse alunghem lha jeng uvin ahi. Ajeh chu, twiso pet’a, Nile vadung kinuh lap lap’a akhantou bang in, gamsung pumpi jong akhang teltul in, chuin akemsuh kit in ahi.

For the Lord, the GOD of Armies, is he who touches the land and it melts, and all who dwell in it will mourn; and it will rise up wholly like the River, and will sink again, like the River of Egypt.

6 Pakaiyin vanchung chu chennan aneiyin, leiset chunghi, aman kengto ngapnan akisem’e. Aman twikhanglen ho’a kon in, twi akoukhom in, leiset chunga go in ahinsunglha kit in ahi. Ama hi, amin Pakai ahi.

It is he who builds his rooms in the heavens, and has founded his vault on the earth; he who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth—the LORD is his name.

7 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Vo Israel chate, nangho hi, Ethiopia mite sang’a keiman ka khohsah joh ding’a na kigel’u ham? Keiman Israel chu Egypt gam’a kon’a kahinpui doh’a, chuleh Philistine mite jong chu Crete gam’a kon’a keima man kahin puidoh hilou ham? Chuleh Syria mite chu, Kir gam’a kon’a ka hin puidoh ahiuve.

Are you not like the children of the Ethiopians to me, children of Israel?” says the LORD. “Haven’t I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?

8 Keima thaneipen Pakaiyin, Israel mite achonset nau kavelhi jingin ahi. Keiman leiset chunga kon’a amaho hi ka suhmang hel ding ahi,’’ tin Pakaiyin aseiye.

Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the surface of the earth, except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,” says the LORD.

9 Ajeh chu keiman thupeh kanei ding, midangho kibolna banga, kami Israelte jong, tengsa-a changchi kilohchil banga ka lochil ding, amavang changtah khat jong tol’a lhahsah louva kakoi ding ahi.

“For behold, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel amongst all the nations as grain is sifted in a sieve, yet not the least kernel will fall on the earth.

10 Chuleh chonset bol jouse abon'uva chemjam’a thisoh hel diu, Thilsen eiho eipha pouvinte, tia seilele ho jouse jong, abon'uva thisoh heldiu ahi.

All the sinners of my people will die by the sword, who say, ‘Evil won’t overtake nor meet us.’

11 Hiche nikho chuleh keiman alhusa David lenggam chu kaphoh ding’a, katundoh kit ding ahi. Akulpi bangsesa ho kasemphat kit ding, chuteng achimsa jouse ka sahphat kit ding, chuleh aloupina mangsa chu ka tundoh kit ding ahi.

In that day I will raise up the tent of David who is fallen and close up its breaches, and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old,

12 Chuteng, Edom mi ahingdoh chengse chu Israel mite chang diu, chuleh kamin’a kihou namtin vaipi jouse jong abon’a alotha diu ahi. Pakaiyin aseidohsa chu aboldoh tei ding ahi.

that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations who are called by my name,” says the LORD who does this.

13 “Nikho ahung lhung’e’’ tin Pakaiyin aseiye, “Lousoh ga leh lengpi ga ho, hetman louva khangloi loi uva, chang-atpa leh lengpitwi chilpa aphah thu ding ahi. Chuteng molleh lhang jousea lengpitwi dimsoh’a, lengpitwi lhum chu hoh banga longlha ding ahi.

“Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that the ploughman shall overtake the reaper, and the one treading grapes him who sows seed; and sweet wine will drip from the mountains, and flow from the hills.

14 Keiman gamlatah’a sohchang kamite kahin lepuilut kitding, chuleh amahon khopi gemsa ho asahphat kit uva, chenna aneidiu ahi. Amahon lengpilei akibol’uva, amaho lengpitwi adon diu, chuleh honlei akibol uva, amaho lousoh ga aneh diu ahi.

I will bring my people Israel back from captivity, and they will rebuild the ruined cities, and inhabit them; and they will plant vineyards, and drink wine from them. They shall also make gardens, and eat their fruit.

15 Chuteng keiman amaho chu agamsunguva dettah’a ka chensah’a, ka phudet ding, Amaho kapehna gamsung’a kon’a, avel’a kikaidoh kitlouheldiu ahi, tin Pathen in aseiye.

I will plant them on their land, and they will no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them,” says the LORD your God.
