1 Kagalvenna muna chun kaldoh ingting chuleh ka pansatna muna chun ding ing’e. Chu che muna kona chu Pakaiyin kajaha ipi aseiding ve’ing ting chuleh keima kiphinna iti eidonbut nem ti ngah-inge.

I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.

2 Chutah in Pakaiyin kajah a, “Ka donbutna hi songpheng ho chunga jihdoh in, hiti henlang hileh, alhaile pa chun midang ho koma thu phatea agalhut thei ding ahi.

And Yhwh answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tablets, that he may run that readeth it.

For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people: (Sheol h7585)

Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay!

8 Ajeh chu nanghon namtin vaipi nei jouse nachom jeng’u ahin, tua hi ason achilhah ho jouseu chun nangho nei achom dingu ahi. Nanghon thinglhang gam pumpia tolthana naboluvin chuleh khopi ho chu alamlouva gimbolna in na lodimsah tauve.

Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men’s blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.

Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!

Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!

Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of Yhwh's right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory.

17 Nanghon Lebanon gammang ho chu na satchaijui. Tua hi nangho kisatlha ding nahiuve. Nanghon gamsa ho chu na sumang hel’ui, hijeha hi amaho kicha a na um’u ahitai. Agamsung pumpia toltha naboluvin, chule khopi ho jong chu nosopa kibolna nadip dimu ahitai.

For the violence of Lebanon shall cover thee, and the spoil of beasts, which made them afraid, because of men’s blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.

What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?

19 Thinga kona kisem milimho jaha, “Khangin lang chule nei huhdoh un” tiho chunga itobang lunghemna in nanga’u hitam! Thusei theilou song milim kisem ho jah a, “Thoudoh un chuleh neihilun” natiuve. Milim khat nin ipi bol ding nahil theijum? Sana le dangka a kisem himaithei junte, hinla amahon asunguva hinna anei pouve.

Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.

20 Hinlah Pakai hi Ahou In Thenga aum’e. Leiset pumpi a angsunga thipchet hen”.

But Yhwh is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
