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.
The prophecy concerning Nineveh. The book of the prophecy 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.
Jehovah is a jealous God, and an avenger; Jehovah is an avenger, and full of wrath! Jehovah taketh vengeance on his adversaries, And keepeth indignation for 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.
Jehovah is slow to anger, but great in power; He will by no means clear the guilty; Jehovah cometh in the whirlwind and 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 rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, And drieth up all the rivers. Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, And the flower of Lebanon languisheth.
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 tremble before him, And the hills melt; The earth is moved at his presence, Yea, the world and all that dwell therein.
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, And who can abide before the fierceness of his anger? His fury is poured out like fire, And the rocks are cast down 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.
Jehovah is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble; He careth for them that trust 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 overwhelming flood will he make a full end of her place, And darkness shall pursue his enemies.
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 ye meditate against Jehovah? He will make a full end; Not the second time shall the calamity come.
10 Ama kisatpite chu lingleh khao kihel chom tobanga, mangthah bep diu, chule changpol gosa banga mangthah ahitauve.
For while they are entangled like thorns, And like those that are drunk with wine, They shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.
11 Pakai douna dinga tohgon neija, hangsan tah’a thuseija pang, nangmaa kon mihem khatbe hung louham?
From thee hath gone forth one that devised evil against Jehovah; That meditated destruction.
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 saith Jehovah: Though they be flourishing, and likewise many, Yet shall they be cut down, and pass away; I have afflicted thee, but I will afflict thee 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.
For now will I break his yoke from off thee, And will burst thy bonds in sunder.
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.
And concerning thee hath Jehovah given command, That thy name shall no more be sown. From the house of thy god I will cut off the graven image and the molten image; I will make thy grave; for thou hast become 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.
Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, That publisheth peace! Keep, O Judah, thy feasts, perform thy vows! For no more shall the destroyer pass through thee; He is utterly consumed.
