Nahum 3
1 O he ada nahi, thisan dimset khopi, Jou le nal dimset’a mithil kichom jeng dimset, min nachom ngahtih neilouva, angahna beija na um ding ahi tai!
Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departs not;
2 Sakol kijep gin, kangtalai kitol gin, sakol kinunkho gin leh kangtalai kipei gin pikhu!
The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the prancing horses, and of the jumping chariots.
3 Chuleh sakol touthem hon adelkhum khum uvin, Chemjam kol aval lah lah jeng in Tengkol jong apah lah lah jeng’e; Sepaite akithatsa ho thilong alhuh lhuh-in akisen, mihem long simjou louvin alum in achung’a miho akipal lhu lhu jeng’ui!
The horseman lifts up both the bright sword and the glittering spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcasses; and there is none end of their corpses; they stumble on their corpses:
4 Thilsoh hijat pi hi sujohnu sujoh’a apan jeh’a soh ahin, Lungset set’a umdoh a thina thei theija kiheidoh ahitai; chule sujoh a pang chun sujoh’a apanna jeh a namtin vaipi geija apui chatvaija deichat chat’a aksemna jeh a chu mitin vaipi geija apui chatvai soh ahitai.
Because of the multitude of the prostitutions of the well favored harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that sells nations through her prostitutions, and families through her witchcrafts.
5 Hichun thaneipen Pakaiyin hitin aseije, vetan, Keiman nang kadou nahi; na nihchol chen jong chu na maichang geija ka hodoh peh ding nahi; chuteng leh namtin vaipi hi na sagoh keova pi chu ka vetsah a Lenggam jouse hin na jamopi chu amusoh kei diu ahi.
Behold, I am against you, says the LORD of hosts; and I will discover your skirts on your face, and I will show the nations your nakedness, and the kingdoms your shame.
6 Keiman nang hi bonlhoh kase khum ding, muset set dia kabol’a, vet vet dia ka um sah ding nahi.
And I will cast abominable filth on you, and make you vile, and will set you as a spectacle.
7 Koi koi hijongleh namu pha jouse chu kin leu diu, Nineveh khopi hi akeohel’a kijam ahitai, kon aka ka ding hitam? a lhembi ding leh alungmon ding koi kiholpeh ding hitam? tia asei dingu ahi.
And it shall come to pass, that all they that look on you shall flee from you, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? from where shall I seek comforters for you?
8 Nile vadung panga chenga akimvela twipi veikol soh hel, twikhanglen pal banga neija twipi banga nei No-amon mite sanga phajo nahim?
Are you better than populous No, that was situate among the rivers, that had the waters round about it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea?
9 Ethopia chu aki hatsah na anahin, angahna bei Egypt jong akihatsahna ahi; Put khopi le Libya mite jong akithopia ana pangji ahiuve.
Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite; Put and Lubim were your helpers.
10 Hijongleh min apoh mang ahitan, sohchang dia che ahitai; achasen jouse akichilgoi sohtan, thingphung jouse jong akivogoi soh tauve; chule akhopi sunga migun ja um tahtah ho jong min vang asan’uvin akihom tauve; chujong leh akhopi sunga mi thahat lai jouse jong thih khaovin akihen sohtai.
Yet was she carried away, she went into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the top of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honorable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
11 Nang jong ju nakham ding, namit kisucho ding, melma akona hoidoh na dia nang in kisel na ding na hol ding ahi.
You also shall be drunken: you shall be hid, you also shall seek strength because of the enemy.
12 Nakulpi jouse jong theichang phung bep ahin, theichang ga masa tobanga akiho lhah leh anenompa kamsung'a lenglut jeng ahi.
All your strong holds shall be like fig trees with the first ripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.
13 Vetan, na sepaija pang ho jong na cho lai sunga numei jeng ahitai. Chule naki doupite din nagam sung a kelkot jouse lentah tah-in akihong doh sohtai; na kelkot gol jouse jong hi meiyin akahvam soh hel ahitai.
Behold, your people in the middle of you are women: the gates of your land shall be set wide open to your enemies: the fire shall devour your bars.
14 Kho ki-umna dingin twi gathal loijin, na kulpi jouse kikaidet loijin; bonlhoh lah a lenglut jeng in chule changpol chilgoijin, cheh deng loijin;
Draw you waters for the siege, fortify your strong holds: go into clay, and tread the mortar, make strong the brick kiln.
15 Meiyin namoh kahvam theijin tin, chemjam in na vautan thei ding ahi; khaokhote kithat gam banga natha doh jeng thei ahi. chule nang ho le nangho khaokhote jat in kisim uvin lang khaokho te bang in kipunsah jeng uvin!
There shall the fire devour you; the sword shall cut you off, it shall eat you up like the cankerworm: make yourself many as the cankerworm, make yourself many as the locusts.
16 Na mite kivei ho chu punsah jing in, vana ahsite sangin tamsah loijin; khaokhoten alha ajah jiuvin aleng mangloi jitauve.
You have multiplied your merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoils, and flees away.
17 Chule namilen na milalte jong khaosut te beh ahiuven, nadanthu lekha them ho jong hi meibol kai nikhoa pal dunga khaokhote jinglei loiya toubep ahiuve.
Your crowned are as the locusts, and your captains as the great grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun rises they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.
18 Vo Assyria lengpa na kelngoi ching ho a ihmu soh tauve; na milen na milalte jong akitalsoh tauvin ahi. chule namite jong molsang chung dung jousea akithe thangsoh’uvin, akou khom ding koimacha aumtapoi.
Your shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: your nobles shall dwell in the dust: your people is scattered on the mountains, and no man gathers them.
19 Chule namaha nasil ngim peh ding koima aumpon, natina maha lah amelse behseh jengin ahi; ahinla nachung chang thudol japha chan akipah’uvin akhut abeng beng jeng uvin ahi. Ajeh chu tang louhela thilse nabol, koipen chunga hung lhung khalouva um kha em?
There is no healing of your bruise; your wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of you shall clap the hands over you: for on whom has not your wickedness passed continually?
