Nahum 3
1 Woe to the bloody city! It is all full of lies and rapine. The prey departs not.
Tami thi palawngnae kho dawk, thoebonae ka tâcawtkhai e laithoe hoi thamanae akawi. A man e naw hai tha awh hoeh.
2 The noise of the whip, and the noise of the rattling of wheels, and prancing horses, and bounding chariots,
Bongpai hoi hem e lawk, rangleng khok kamlei lawk, marang coukdouk lawk, rangleng a yawng e lawk hah ka thai.
3 the horseman mounting, and the flashing sword, and the glittering spear, and a multitude of slain, and a great heap of corpses, and there is no end of the bodies. They stumble upon their bodies,
Marangransa ni laklakkaang e tahloi, keitat tahroe hah a dâw teh, kadout e tami ro teh a kâmawk. Hote ronaw hah boeba touk thai hoeh. Ronaw hah a kamthui awh teh ro van a tâlaw awh.
4 because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the well-favored harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, who sells nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts.
Hetnaw pueng teh ka kâyawt e napui kecu doeh a tho. A meihawinae, ânnae, a kâyonae lahoi khocaramca pueng koung a dum toe.
5 Behold, I am against thee, says Jehovah of hosts, and I will uncover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will show the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.
Hatdawkvah, Cathut ni a dei e teh, nange avanglah kai ka o. Na angki hah na minhmai dawk ka ling vaiteh caici lah na onae hoi na kayanae hah uknaeram tangkuem ka patue han.
6 And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazing-stock.
Ei hoi na dei vaiteh, na khin sak vaiteh, ayâ ni panuet e lah na ta han.
7 And it shall come to pass, that all those who look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste. Who will bemoan her? From where shall I seek comforters for thee?
Na kahmawt e tami pueng ni, Nineveh kho a rawk toe, apinimouh a khui han vai ati awh teh, na yawng takhai awh han. Nang lungpahawi hanelah, nâmouh ka tawng vaiteh ka pâphawng han vai.
8 Are thou better than No-amon, that was situated among the rivers, that had the waters round about her, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was of the sea?
Nang teh tuipui rahak kaawm e Noamon kho hlak na talue maw. Hote khopui teh tui ni a kalup teh, tuipui teh ahnie rapan lah ao.
9 Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite. Put and Lubim were thy helpers.
Ethiopia hoi Izip ram teh ahnie senehmaica lah ao teh a thaonae teh baw thai hoeh. Put hoi Lubim ni a kabawp.
10 Yet she was carried away. She went into captivity. Her young sons also were dashed in pieces at the head of all the streets. And they cast lots for her honorable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
Hatei, hote kho teh tarannaw ni a tuk awh teh a man awh toe. Khocanaw teh lamtakinnaw koe a phep awh. Bari lah kaawm e khocanaw teh, cungpam lah a khoe awh teh, thakasai e khocanaw abuemlah sumrui hoi a pâkhi awh toe.
11 Thou also shall be drunken. Thou shall be hid. Thou also shall seek a stronghold because of the enemy.
Nang haiyah puen laihoi na kâhro han. Taran kut dawk hoi hlout nahanelah kacakpounge hmuen na tawng han.
12 All thy fortresses shall be like fig trees with the first ripe figs. If they be shaken, they fall into the mouth of the eater.
Nange rapanimnaw teh a paw hmaloe kahmin e thaibunglungnaw hoi a kâvan han. Kahuet navah ka cat ngai e kâko thung hloum a bo pouh awh han.
13 Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are women. The gates of thy land are set wide open to thine enemies. The fire has devoured thy bars.
Na taminaw teh na hmalah napui patetlah ao vaiteh, kho longkhanaw teh tarannaw hanelah kakaw lah a kamawng vaiteh tho rawngkannae teh hmai a kak han.
14 Draw thee water for the siege. Strengthen thy fortresses. Go into the clay, and tread the mortar. Make strong the brick kiln.
Taran ni na kaven yunglam, na hno hane tui sut do awh. Rapanimnaw hah caksak awh. Amhru talai hah katin awh. Amhru hmai raawng awh.
15 There the fire shall devour thee. The sword shall cut thee off. It shall devour thee like the canker-worm. Make thyself many as the canker-worm. Make thyself many as the locust.
Hote hmuen koe raw vah hmai na kak awh vaiteh, tahloi hoi pat na raboung awh han. Samtong patetlah pap awh yawkaw, awsi patetlah pap a yawkaw.
16 Thou have multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven. The canker-worm ravages, and flees away.
Kalvan âsinaw hlak hno kayawtnaw kapap nakunghai, samtongnaw patetlah parang a kamleng awh han.
17 Thy rulers are as the locusts, and thy marshals as the swarms of grasshoppers, which encamp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun arises they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.
Nangmae khobawinaw teh samtangnaw patetlah ransabawinaw teh tapangkhongdengnaw patetlah ao awh teh, a pâding toteh tahmout dawk a tabo awh. Kanî a tâco toteh nâmouh phang a kamleng tie panuek hoeh.
18 Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria. Thy nobles are at rest. Thy people are scattered upon the mountains, and there is none to gather them.
Assiria siangpahrang nange tukhoumnaw teh muet a i awh teh, Saring kakhenkungnaw teh a yan awh. Ransanaw teh monsom vah koung kâkapek awh teh apinihai pâkhueng awh hoeh.
19 There is no assuaging of thy hurt. Thy wound is grievous. All who hear the report of thee clap their hands over thee, for upon whom has not thy wickedness passed continually?
Na khang e a hmâ a nung poung dawkvah dam thai mahoeh. Nange kamthang ka thai e pueng ni kut na tabawng sin awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang ni na rektap hoeh e tami apihai awm hoeh.
