Nahum 1
1 Elkosh tami Nahum ni, Nineveh kho hoi ka kâkuenlah a coe e Cathut lawk teh,
An oracle about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2 Cathut teh na yon telah tang kayuem ni teh ka rek e lah ao. Lungkhuek laihoi a rek. Bawipa ka taran e taminaw hah a rek teh, a tarannaw hah sut a tareng.
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 Bawipa teh lung a pâcawn, a bahu hai ao. Hatei tamikayonnaw e yontha pouh hoeh. Bawipa teh bongparui hoi cakho kahlî dawk hai a cei, tâmainaw teh a khok rahim e vaiphu patetlah doeh ao awh.
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 Tuipui hah a yue teh khik a hak sak. Sawkca pueng rem aphui sak, Bashan mon hoi karmel monnaw teh a kamyai awh, Lebanon pei hai a kamyai.
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 Bawipa e hmalah monnaw a kâhuet, monruinaw tui lah a kamyawt teh, a hmalah talai dawk kawm e pueng koehoi talai tami pueng teh a kampuen awh.
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 A lungkhueknae hmalah apimaw kangdout thai han. A lungkhueknae a hue apinine a ngang thai han. Hmai ka kang e patetlah a lungkhuek teh talungnaw a tip awh.
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 Bawipa teh ahawi, runae a tho nah rapanim lah ao. Ama ka kângue e naw hah a khetyawt.
The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.
8 Tarannaw e kho hah tui hoi muen a khu teh, tarannaw teh hmonae ni a pâlei han.
But with an overflowing flood, he will make a full end of her place, and will pursue his enemies into darkness.
9 BAWIPA hah taran hanelah, bangtelamaw na kâcai awh vaw. Sapingkacailah a rawk sak han, bout tuk han kawi lah awm mahoeh toe.
What do you plot against the LORD? He will make a full end. Affliction won't rise up the second time.
10 Ahnimanaw teh pâkhing patetlah a kâvoun teh, Yamuhrinaw a parui e patetlah ao awh teh, remke e songnawng patetlah hmai a kak awh han.
For entangled like thorns, and drunk as with their drink, they are consumed utterly like dry stubble.
11 Cathut koe pouknae kahawihoehe ka tawn e tami teh nangmouh dawk hoi a tâco toe.
There is one gone forth out of you, who devises evil against the LORD, who counsels wickedness.
12 Cathut ni a dei e teh, nangmouh teh na kuepcing awh, a misa na pap awh eiteh, rawknae dawk na pha awh vaiteh koung na kahma awh han. Kai ni nang ouk na rektap eiteh bout na rektap mahoeh toe.
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 Atu nang koe na phu sak e hno hai ka takhoe vaiteh na kateknae tangronnaw hai ka rathap han.
Now will I break his yoke from off you, and will burst your bonds apart."
14 Nang koe Cathut ni hno a sak hane teh, na miphunnaw hoi kâkuen hanh. Meikaphawk cathutnaw hah nange bawkim dawk hoi koung ka raphoe han. Nang teh na hawihoeh dawkvah na tangkom hah na tai pouh han.
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 Roumnae lunghawinae kamthang kahawi ka dei e a khoknaw teh monsom vah khenhaw. Oe Judahnaw, nange bawknae pawi hah sak awh haw. Lawkkamnae teh kuep sak awh haw. Tami kahawihoehnaw teh koung raphoe lah ao toung dawkvah nangmouh bout na tapuet awh mahoeh toe.
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.
