< Naum 3 >
1 O city of blood, wholly false, full of unrighteousness; the prey shall not be handled.
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!
2 The noise of whips, and the noise of the rumbling of wheels, and of the pursuing horse, and of the bounding chariot,
Sakol kijep gin, kangtalai kitol gin, sakol kinunkho gin leh kangtalai kipei gin pikhu!
3 and of the mounting rider, and of the glittering sword, and of the gleaming arms, and of a multitude of slain, and of heavy falling: and there was no end to her nations, but they shall be weak in their bodies
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!
4 because of the abundance of fornication: [she is] a fair harlot, and well-favoured, skilled in sorcery, that sells the nations by her fornication, and peoples by her sorceries.
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.
5 Behold, I am against thee, saith the Lord God Almighty, and I will uncover thy skirts in thy presence, and I will shew the nations thy shame, and the kingdoms thy disgrace.
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.
6 And I will cast abominable filth upon thee according to thine unclean ways, and will make thee a public example.
Keiman nang hi bonlhoh kase khum ding, muset set dia kabol’a, vet vet dia ka um sah ding nahi.
7 And it shall be [that] every one that sees thee shall go down from thee, and shall say, Wretched Nineve! who shall lament for her? whence shall I seek comfort for her?
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.
8 Prepare thee a portion, tune the chord, prepare a portion for Ammon: she that dwells among the rivers, water is round about her, whose dominion is the sea, and whose walls are water.
Nile vadung panga chenga akimvela twipi veikol soh hel, twikhanglen pal banga neija twipi banga nei No-amon mite sanga phajo nahim?
9 And Ethiopia is her strength, and Egypt; and there was no limit of the flight [of her enemies]; and the Libyans became her helpers.
Ethopia chu aki hatsah na anahin, angahna bei Egypt jong akihatsahna ahi; Put khopi le Libya mite jong akithopia ana pangji ahiuve.
10 Yet she shall go as a prisoner into captivity, and they shall dash her infants against the ground at the top of all her ways: and they shall cast lots upon all her glorious [possessions], and all her nobles shall be bound in chains.
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.
11 And thou shalt be drunken, and shalt be overlooked; and thou shalt seek for thyself strength because of [thine] enemies.
Nang jong ju nakham ding, namit kisucho ding, melma akona hoidoh na dia nang in kisel na ding na hol ding ahi.
12 All thy strong-holds are as fig-trees having watchers: if they be shaken, they shall fall into the mouth of the eater.
Nakulpi jouse jong theichang phung bep ahin, theichang ga masa tobanga akiho lhah leh anenompa kamsung'a lenglut jeng ahi.
13 Behold, thy people within thee are as women: the gates of thy land shall surely be opened to thine enemies: the fire shall devour thy bars.
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.
14 Draw thee water for a siege, and well secure thy strong-holds: enter into the clay, and be thou trodden in the chaff, make [the fortifications] stronger than brick.
Kho ki-umna dingin twi gathal loijin, na kulpi jouse kikaidet loijin; bonlhoh lah a lenglut jeng in chule changpol chilgoijin, cheh deng loijin;
15 There the fire shall devour thee; the sword shall utterly destroy thee, it shall devour thee as the locust, and thou shalt be pressed down as a palmerworm.
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!
16 Thou hast multiplied thy merchandise beyond the stars of heaven: the palmerworm has attacked [it], and has flown away.
Na mite kivei ho chu punsah jing in, vana ahsite sangin tamsah loijin; khaokhoten alha ajah jiuvin aleng mangloi jitauve.
17 Thy mixed [multitude] has suddenly departed as the grasshopper, as the locust perched on a hedge in a frosty day; the sun arises, and it flies off, and knows not its place: woe to them!
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.
18 Thy shepherds have slumbered, the Assyrian king has laid low thy mighty men: thy people departed to the mountains, and there was none to receive [them].
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.
19 There is no healing for thy bruise; thy wound has rankled: all that hear the report of thee shall clap their hands against thee; for upon whom has not thy wickedness passed continually?
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?
