< Nahum 3 >
1 Woe to thee, O city of blood, all full of lies and violence: rapine shall not depart from thee.
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 the whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the neighing horse, and of the running chariot, and of the horsemen coming up,
Sakol kijep gin, kangtalai kitol gin, sakol kinunkho gin leh kangtalai kipei gin pikhu!
3 And of the shining sword, and of the glittering spear, and of a multitude slain, and of a grievous destruction: and there is no end of carcasses, and they shall fall down on their dead 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 multitude of the fornications of the harlot that was beautiful and agreeable, and that made use of witchcraft, that sold nations through her fornications, and families through her witchcrafts.
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 come against thee, saith the Lord of hosts: and I will discover thy shame to thy face, and will shew thy nakedness to the nations, and thy shame to kingdoms.
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 abominations upon thee, and will disgrace thee, and will make an example of thee.
Keiman nang hi bonlhoh kase khum ding, muset set dia kabol’a, vet vet dia ka um sah ding nahi.
7 And it shall come to pass that every one that shall see thee, shall flee from thee, and shall say: Ninive is laid waste: who shall bemoan thee? whence shall I seek a comforter for thee?
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 Art thou better than the populous Alexandria, that dwelleth among the rivers? waters are round about it: the sea is its riches, the waters are its walls.
Nile vadung panga chenga akimvela twipi veikol soh hel, twikhanglen pal banga neija twipi banga nei No-amon mite sanga phajo nahim?
9 Ethiopia and Egypt were the strength thereof, and there is no end: Africa and the Libyans were thy 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 also was removed and carried into captivity: her young children were dashed in pieces at the top of every street, and they cast lots upon her nobles, and all her great men were bound in fetters.
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 Therefore thou also shalt be made drunk, and shalt be despised: and thou shalt seek help from the enemy.
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 shall be like fig trees with their green figs: 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 in the midst of thee are women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open to thy 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 the siege, build up thy bulwarks: go into the clay, and tread, work it and make 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 shall the fire devour thee: thou shalt perish by the sword, it shall devour thee like the bruchus: assemble together like the bruchus, make thyself many like the locust.
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 merchandises above the stars of heaven: the bruchus hath spread himself and flown away.
Na mite kivei ho chu punsah jing in, vana ahsite sangin tamsah loijin; khaokhoten alha ajah jiuvin aleng mangloi jitauve.
17 Thy guards are like the locusts: and thy little ones like the locusts of locusts which swarm on the hedges in the day of cold: the sun arose, and they flew away, and their place was not known where they were.
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, O king of Assyria, thy princes shall be buried: thy people are hid in the mountains, and there is none to gather them together.
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 Thy destruction is not hidden, thy wound is grievous: all that have heard the fame of thee, have clapped their hands over thee: for upon whom hath 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?
