Zephaniah 3
1 Woe to her that is filthie and polluted, to the robbing citie.
Anunae, phuel uh tih aka nok uh, aka vuelvaek khopuei aih.
2 She heard not the voyce: she receiued not correction: she trusted not in the Lord: she drew not neere to her God.
Ol te hnatun pawh. BOEIPA dongkah, thuituennah khaw doe pawh. A Pathen taengah pangtung pawt tih, mop pawh.
3 Her princes within her are as roaring lyons: her iudges are as wolues in the euening, which leaue not the bones till the morow.
A khui kah a mangpa rhoek te, sathueng la kawk. A laitloek rhoek tah hlaemhmah uithang bangla, mincang ham a cilh uh moenih.
4 Her prophets are light, and wicked persons: her priests haue polluted the Sanctuarie: they haue wrested the Lawe.
A tonghma rhoek soetae uh tih, hlang paw la poehuh. A khosoih rhoek loh hmuencim a poeih uh tih, olkhueng a poe uh.
5 The iust Lord is in the middes thereof: he will doe none iniquitie: euery morning doeth hee bring his iudgement to light, he faileth not: but the wicked will not learne to be ashamed.
A khui kah BOEIPA tah dueng tih, dumlai a khueh moenih. A tiktamnah te mincang, mincang kah khosae dongah a paek tih, dalh tlaih pawh. Tedae boethae long tah, a yahpohnah khaw ming pawh.
6 I haue cut off the nations: their towres are desolate: I haue made their streetes waste, that none shall passe by: their cities are destroyed without man and without inhabitant.
Namtom te ka khoe tih, a bangkil ah pong uh coeng. A kawtpoeng te ka khah tih, aka pah om pawh. A khopuei te a rhaem uh tih, khosak a tal hil ah, hlang om pawh.
7 I said, Surely thou wilt feare me: thou wilt receiue instruction: so their dwelling shoulde not be destroyed howsoeuer I visited them, but they rose earely and corrupted all their workes.
“Kai he n'rhih vetih, thuituennah he na doe ngawn bitni. Te vaengah ni a soah, ka cawh ham koi boeih tah, a khuirhung kah khaw khoe boel saeh,” ka ti. Tedae thoo uh tih, a khoboe rhamlang neh boeih porhak uh.
8 Therefore wait ye vpon me, saith the Lord, vntill the day that I rise vp to the praye: for I am determined to gather the nations, and that I will assemble the kingdomes to powre vpon them mine indignation, euen all my fierce wrath: for all the earth shall be deuoured with the fire of my ielousie.
Te dongah maeh la ka pai khohnin hil kai he n'rhing uh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Ka laitloeknah he tah namtom aka coi la, ram te kamah taengah aka tingtun sak la, ka thintoek thinsa boeih dongkah ka kosi he amih soah aka lun la om ni. Ka thatlainah hmai loh diklai pum a hlawp ni.
9 Surely then will I turne to the people a pure language, that they may all call vpon the Name of the Lord, to serue him with one cosent.
Te vaengah BOEIPA ming te a pum la khue ham neh laengpang pakhat la amah taengah thohtat sak ham, pilnam kah hmuilai te cimphan la ka maelh pah ni.
10 From beyonde the riuers of Ethiopia, the daughter of my dispersed, praying vnto me, shall bring me an offering.
Rhalvangan lamloh Kusah tuiva duela kai aka bawkkung rhoek om uh vetih, ka taek ka yak nu loh ka khocang hang khuen ni.
11 In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy workes, wherein thou hast transgressed against mee: for then I will take away out of the middes of thee them that reioyce of thy pride, and thou shalt no more be proude of mine holy Mountaine.
Na khoboe rhamlang cungkuem lamloh kai taengah boe na koek vanbangla, te khohnin ah mah yak boeh. Na khui lamkah yalpo la na hoemnah te kang khoe ni. Te vaengah ka tlang cim ah koep sang ham na khoep mahpawh.
12 Then will I leaue in the middes of thee an humble and poore people: and they shall trust in the Name of the Lord.
Tedae na khui kah pilnam mangdaeng neh tattloel tah ka hlun vetih BOEIPA ming neh ying uh ni.
13 The remnant of Israel shall do none iniquitie, nor speake lies: neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shalbe fed, and lie downe, and none shall make them afraide.
Israel kah a meet loh dumlai saii uh voel pawt vetih, laithae thui voel mahpawh. Amih ka dongah a huep ol hmu voel mahpawh. Tedae amih te luem uh vetih, a kol uh vaengah lakueng uh voel mahpawh.
14 Reioyce, O daughter Zion: be ye ioyfull, O Israel: be glad and reioyce with all thine heart, O daughter Ierusalem.
Zion nu aw tamhoe laeh, Israel aw yuhui laeh, Jerusalem nu aw lungbuei boeih neh kohoe lamtah sundaep laeh.
15 The Lord hath taken away thy iudgements: hee hath cast out thine enemie: the King of Israel, euen the Lord is in the middes of thee: thou shalt see no more euill.
BOEIPA loh na laitloeknah te a khoe tih, na thunkha te mael coeng. Israel manghai la na khui ah Yahweh om coeng tih, yoethaenah na rhih voel mahpawh.
16 In that day it shalbe said to Ierusalem, Feare thou not, O Zion: let not thine handes be faint.
Tekah khohnin ah tah Jerusalem te, “Zion aw rhih boeh, na kut te kha boel saeh.
17 The Lord thy God in the middes of thee is mightie: hee will saue, hee will reioyce ouer thee with ioye: he will quiet himselfe in his loue: he will reioyce ouer thee with ioy.
Na Pathen Yahweh, na khui kah hlangrhalh loh n'khang coeng. Na soah kohoenah neh omngaih ni. A lungnah neh n'duem sak vetih, nang soah tamlung neh omngaih ni.
18 After a certaine time will I gather the afflicted that were of thee, and them that bare the reproch for it.
Khoning lamkah aka pae rhoek te nang taeng lamloh ka coi ni. Anih ham tah kokhahnah buham om coeng.
19 Beholde, at that time I will bruise all that afflict thee, and I will saue her that halteth, and gather her that was cast out, and I will get them praise and fame in all the landes of their shame.
Amah tue ah tah nang aka phaep boeih te ka saii van ni ne. Aka cungdo te ka khang vetih, a heh te ka coi ni. Amih kah yahpohnah khohmuen boeih ah amih te koehnah neh ming ka khueh pah ni.
20 At that time wil I bring you againe, and then wil I gather you: for I wil giue you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turne backe your captiuitie before your eyes, saith the Lord.
Amah tue vaengah tah nangmih te kam mael puei ni. Amah tue vaengah nang te kan tingtun sak ni. Nang te diklai pilnam cungkuem lakli ah ming neh koehnah kam paek ni. Nangmih kah thongtla rhoek te na mikhmuh ah kam mael puei ni,” ti la BOEIPA loh a thui.
