< Nahum 1 >

1 Hiche hi Nineveh khopi chung chang thudola thuphondoh, Elkosh khoa pat Nahum kitipan themgaovin thil’amu banga athil amu ho kisutna lekhabu ahi.
An oracle about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2 Pakai hi Pathen engsetah leh phula jing Pathen ahi. Aman a-lunghan teng phulah abol jin, Pathen in ama doudal te chung’a phu alah ding, A ma lunghanna chu a galmite chung a abuhlhah ding ahi.
The LORD is a jealous God and avenges. The LORD avenges and is full of wrath. The LORD takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he maintains wrath against his enemies.
3 Pakai hi kintah’a lunghang lou Thahattah ahi. Chule ajeh beijin Pakaiyin themmo nahi amoh ngaidam jipoi. Pakai hi chimpei le khopi huija alamlhan, Meilhang jouse jong hi akengphanga leivui jeng ahibouve.
The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. The LORD has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
4 Twikhanglen jeng jong aphoa ahileh twi akanghel jitan, vadung jouse jong abonchan atingkang soh hel jin ahi; chule Bashan phai le Carmel mol jong anitah lhon in agop lha jitan, Lebanon lhang noulai jong agop paiji tai.
He rebukes the sea, and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers. Bashan languishes, and Carmel; and the flower of Lebanon languishes.
5 Pakai masanga molsang ho jeng jong akihot lingji tauvin, Thing lhang gam ho jong angimsoh jitan ahi; Chule Pakai angsunga leiset jong ahomkeovin Aum jitan, Vannoi pumpi leh asunga cheng jouse jong abeisoh jitauve.
The mountains quake before him, and the hills melt away. The earth trembles at his presence, yes, the world, and all who dwell in it.
6 Pakai a-lunghan teng koiham Ama masanga ding ngam ding? Alung han deu jeju chu koiham athoh ngapcha ding? Ajeh chu alunghan teng mei-al kisung lha tobang ahin, Songpi jouse jong hi Pakai jeh-in apoh keh jitauve.
Who can stand before his indignation? Who can endure the fierceness of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken apart by him.
7 Pakai hi nunnem tah ahin, Gim le hesoh nikhoa kisel na kulpi ahi; Amaa kiselji mihem ho chu Pakaiyin amelchih sohkei ahi.
The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.
8 Ama kidoupite vang chu Twisoh hattah letjeng junga hunglong chu atolmang sah hel ding, Amelmate jong chu muthim khojing lah’a adel lut ding ahi.
But with an overflowing flood, he will make a full end of her place, and will pursue his enemies into darkness.
9 Ipi dinga Pakai dounaa thilgon naneiju ham? Pakaiyin achaina hel’a asuh manghel ding; akisatpite chunga chu nivei phulah khel-a khatveija asuhgam hel ding ahi.
What do you plot against the LORD? He will make a full end. Affliction won't rise up the second time.
10 Ama kisatpite chu lingleh khao kihel chom tobanga, mangthah bep diu, chule changpol gosa banga mangthah ahitauve.
For entangled like thorns, and drunk as with their drink, they are consumed utterly like dry stubble.
11 Pakai douna dinga tohgon neija, hangsan tah’a thuseija pang, nangmaa kon mihem khatbe hung louham?
There is one gone forth out of you, who devises evil against the LORD, who counsels wickedness.
12 Pakai Pathen in hiti hin aseije: “Amaho hi thahat’u hen lang mi tamu jongleh abonchauva kisatgam’uva kitolmang del diu ahi. Nangma vang bol gentheijin ana um jongleh chun, tun nabol genthei kit tapong’e.
Thus says the LORD: "Though they be in full strength, and likewise many, even so they will be cut down, and he shall pass away. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.
13 Chule tua ama namkol jon napoh chu kaloilhah peh ding, Chule na kikanna thihkhao jouse jong ka botan peh soh hel ding ahi,” ati.
Now will I break his yoke from off you, and will burst your bonds apart."
14 Chule nangma Assyria te chung chang thudol’a Pakaiyin thu apen, namin pu ding cha le nao hung peng kitlou ding ahitai; ajeh chu Pathen lim nasemthu nahou naa kona milim kilhajol hole kikhengjol ho aboncha ka paimanga, chule nangma kivuina ding lhankhuh, jachatna tampi kasempeh ding nahi,” ati.
The LORD has commanded concerning you: "No more descendants will bear your name. Out of the house of your gods, will I cut off the engraved image and the molten image. I will make your grave, for you are vile."
15 Ven molchung lah’a Kipana thupha choija chamna thu samphongpa kengphang te ni khu! Vo Judah na kut bol ding jouse kibol’in chule nakitepna bulhih soh keijin, Ajeh chu nangma lam’a migiloupa hung kit talou ding ahi, Ama chu kisumang hel ahitai.
Look, on the mountains the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace. Keep your feasts, Judah. Perform your vows, for the wicked one will no more pass through you. He is utterly cut off.
