Nahum 1
1 This is the burden against Nineveh, the book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite:
Elkosh tami Nahum ni, Nineveh kho hoi ka kâkuenlah a coe e Cathut lawk teh,
2 The LORD is a jealous and avenging God; the LORD is avenging and full of wrath. The LORD takes vengeance on His foes and reserves wrath for His enemies.
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.
3 The LORD is slow to anger and great in power; the LORD will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. His path is in the whirlwind and storm, and clouds are the dust beneath His feet.
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.
4 He rebukes the sea and dries it up; He makes all the rivers run dry. Bashan and Carmel wither, and the flower of Lebanon wilts.
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.
5 The mountains quake before Him, and the hills melt away; the earth trembles at His presence— the world and all its dwellers.
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.
6 Who can withstand His indignation? Who can endure His burning anger? His wrath is poured out like fire; even rocks are shattered before Him.
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.
7 The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of distress; He cares for those who trust in Him.
Bawipa teh ahawi, runae a tho nah rapanim lah ao. Ama ka kângue e naw hah a khetyawt.
8 But with an overwhelming flood He will make an end of Nineveh and pursue His enemies into darkness.
Tarannaw e kho hah tui hoi muen a khu teh, tarannaw teh hmonae ni a pâlei han.
9 Whatever you plot against the LORD, He will bring to an end. Affliction will not rise up a second time.
BAWIPA hah taran hanelah, bangtelamaw na kâcai awh vaw. Sapingkacailah a rawk sak han, bout tuk han kawi lah awm mahoeh toe.
10 For they will be entangled as with thorns and consumed like the drink of a drunkard— like stubble that is fully dry.
Ahnimanaw teh pâkhing patetlah a kâvoun teh, Yamuhrinaw a parui e patetlah ao awh teh, remke e songnawng patetlah hmai a kak awh han.
11 From you, O Nineveh, comes forth a plotter of evil against the LORD, a counselor of wickedness.
Cathut koe pouknae kahawihoehe ka tawn e tami teh nangmouh dawk hoi a tâco toe.
12 This is what the LORD says: “Though they are allied and numerous, yet they will be cut down and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, O Judah, I will afflict you no longer.
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.
13 For I will now break their yoke from your neck and tear away your shackles.”
Atu nang koe na phu sak e hno hai ka takhoe vaiteh na kateknae tangronnaw hai ka rathap han.
14 The LORD has issued a command concerning you, O Nineveh: “There will be no descendants to carry on your name. I will cut off the carved image and cast idol from the house of your gods; I will prepare your grave, for you are contemptible.”
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.
15 Look to the mountains— the feet of one who brings good news, who proclaims peace! Celebrate your feasts, O Judah; fulfill your vows. For the wicked will never again march through you; they will be utterly cut off.
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.
