Nahum 2
1 Ka raphoe hane tami teh na hmalah a pha toe. Nange rapanim hah ring leih. Na keng hah caksak nateh tha kâ lat leih.
It is all over with him, he has been removed, [one] who has been delivered from affliction has come up panting into your presence, watch the way, strengthen [your] loins, be very valiant in [your] strength.
2 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut teh Isarelnaw e a lentoenae patetlah Jakop e a lentoenae hah ao sak toe. Ka raphoe e taminaw ni Jakop e catoun, a raphoe teh, ahnie a cakang hai koung a raphoe toe.
For the Lord has turned aside the pride of Jacob, as the pride of Israel: for they have utterly rejected them, and have destroyed their branches.
3 Athakaawme taminaw ni ka paling e saiphei a patuep awh teh ka paling e khohna a kho awh. Ranglengnaw hah tahloi hoi laklak a ang teh, tahroenaw teh thouk a kâroe awh.
[They have destroyed] the arms of their power from among men, their mighty men sporting with fire: the reins of their chariots [shall be destroyed] in the day of his preparation, and the horsemen shall be thrown into confusion
4 Ranglengnaw teh cahucahu kacailah lam dawk atunglah, akalah a yawng awh. Hmaito patetlah a paling teh sumpa patetlah a yawng awh.
in the ways, and the chariots shall clash together, and shall be entangled in each other in the broad ways: their appearance is as lamps of fire, and as gleaming lightnings.
5 Ransanaw a hroecoe teh ahnimouh ni ayânaw dei a tanawt awh. Khorapan koe karanglah a cei awh teh ramvengnae khu a sak awh.
And their mighty men shall bethink themselves and flee by day; and they shall be weak as they go; and they shall hasten to her walls, and shall prepare their defences.
6 Tui longkha a kamawng teh siangpahrang im a rawk toe. Nineveh tanglanaw e a khohna a rading pouh teh,
The gates of the cities have been opened, and the palaces have fallen into ruin,
7 bakhu patetlah khui laihoi lungtabue a ratup awh.
and the foundation has been exposed; and she has gone up, and her maidservants were led [away] as doves moaning in their hearts.
8 Ayan hoiyah Nineveh khopui teh tuinawk patetlah doeh ao. Atuteh tui a lawng toe, kangdout awh, kangdout awh telah kahram nakunghai apinihai kamlang sin hoeh.
And [as for] Nineve, her waters [shall be] as a pool of water: and they fled, and staid not, and there was none to look back.
9 Ngun lawm awh. Sui hai lawm awh. Ngai kawi e hnopainaw suitabu thung e rasa teh baw thai hoeh.
They plundered the silver, they plundered the gold, and there was no end of their adorning; they were loaded [with it] upon all their pleasant vessels.
10 Khopui teh luengpalueng lah ao. Hnopai awm hoeh. Tami kingdi. Khoca pueng teh a lungpout awh, khokpakhu kâkhawng lahoi a keng a pataw awh teh, minhmai ka tamang lah ao awh.
[There is] thrusting forth, and shaking, and tumult, and heart-breaking, and loosing of knees, and pangs on all loins; and the faces of all [are] as the blackening of a pot.
11 Sendek a onae hmuen, sendek a canae hmuen, sendek canaw ni apihai kâtaket sak laipalah a onae hmuen teh na maw ao.
Where is the dwelling-place of the lions, and the pasture that belonged to the whelps? where did the lion go, that the lion's whelp should enter in there, and there was none to scare [him] away?
12 Sendek ni a canaw hanelah a kei teh, a manunaw hanelah a lahuen a kara pouh teh, a kâkhu dawk a kei e moi hoi akawi sak.
The lion seized enough prey for his whelps, and strangled for his [young] lions, and filled his lair with prey, and his dwelling-place with spoil.
13 Ransahu BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, nange avanglah ka o han. Nange ranglengnaw hah hmai koung ka sawi han. Na sendeknaw hah tahloi hoi ka thei han. Na lawp e hnonaw talai dawk hoi ka takhoe han. Nange na patounenaw e lawk hah apinihai bout thai mahoeh toe.
Behold, I am against you, says the Lord Almighty, and I will burn up your multitude in the smoke, and the sword shall devour your lions; and I will utterly destroy your prey from off the land, and your deeds shall no more at all be heard of.
