Nahum 2
1 A maul is come up before thy face; guard the defences, watch the way, make thy loins strong, fortify thy power mightily! —
Nagal mipan suhmang ding ngaiton ahung in, kihongphan Pasal pha pha kulpia pansah-in lang lampi vephan; chule nakong kigah in lang, nathahat pan in pang in.
2 For the LORD restoreth the pride of Jacob, as the pride of Israel; for the emptiers have emptied them out, and marred their vine-branches. —
Ajeh chu Pakaiyin Israel lal loupina banga Jacob lal loupina jong asemphat kit ding ahi; chule michomgam’a pang hon achom ngimsel’uva ahalsi sia asuh manguva amonsa alupsah-u ahitai.
3 The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet; the chariots are fire of steel in the day of his preparation, and the cypress spears are made to quiver.
Chule asepai gal-hat ho chu alumu asan soh keijin, A sepaiten abonchauvin pon san-ao akisil sohkeijun. Kangtalai jouse jong meisi bang in apah lah lah-in, Galsat dia akigoltoh tenguleh akipat kal’u angah lel’ui.
4 The chariots rush madly in the streets, they jostle one against another in the broad places; the appearance of them is like torches, they run to and fro like the lightnings.
Chule kholai dunga kangtalai jouse aki hon lul lul’un, Veng ningkoi dung jousea asuh lhai atou lhaijun, Chule meikong kidevah bangin achanthe thu’uvin, chujongleh kolphe vah bangin aphelap lap’uve.
5 He bethinketh himself of his worthies; they stumble in their march; they make haste to the wall thereof, and the mantelet is prepared.
Chuleh vaibol’a pang ho akoukhom’uvin, ache nauva akipal lhugam tauve; chule amahon pal phungla adel loijun, asangkhol chol’u akihoh doh bangin akijal dep dop e.
6 The gates of the rivers are opened, and the palace is dissolved.
Chujongleh vadung kelkot phung jouse akihong soh tan, Leng inpia mite a lungthoi soh tauve.
7 And the queen is uncovered, she is carried away, and her handmaids moan as with the voice of doves, tabering upon their breasts.
Lengnu avon asut lhauvin akai mang tauve, chuleh ajenle a pang nu-ngah ho akap kap’uvin, vahuite ham athouvin amao setsot’un, a-op achum achum jeng uvin ahi.
8 But Nineveh hath been from of old like a pool of water; yet they flee away; 'Stand, stand'; but none looketh back.
Chuleh Nineveh khopi hi twikul lentah hija asunga twi jouse long kanghel tobang ahitai. “Kho ngaijin! Kho ngaijin!” tin mihonpi chun asam asam jeng uvin, koima chala akinung hei tapoi.
9 Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold; for there is no end of the store, rich with all precious vessels.
Chule dangka kichom uvin lang Sana jong kichom’uvin! thil kikhol ho hi chom joutih aum tapon, chule gou hijat thil manlu ho jong hi abei thei tapoi.
10 She is empty, and void, and waste; and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and convulsion is in all loins, and the faces of them all have gathered blackness.
Hijeh chun chom uvin langchom ngimhel’un ahomsan koijun! Mihem lungthim alha lhopsoh tan, mihem khupbuh jouse akithing sohhel tai, mihem jouse akong akhasoh-in, mihem jouse maiadup soh hel tai!
11 Where is the den of the lions, which was the feeding-place of the young lions, where the lion and the lioness walked, and the lion's whelp, and none made them afraid?
Chule sakei bahkai ho kihenna hong chu hoilai hiya? chule sakei bahkai noute kihenna chu akosung chu hoilai ham? Sakei bahkai ten aneh diu sa akipohlut uva, asukin ding beihel’a anoute toh aneh nau chu hoilai ham?
12 The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his caves with prey, and his dens with ravin.
Sakei bahkaipin anoute neh kham dingbep akitha jouvin, sakei bahkai pan jong api dingin sahing phabep akoije; Akosung jong chu sahing athasa adim set’in, chule ahong sung sahin botelsa adimset’e.
13 Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions; and I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard.
Hichun thaneipen Pakai chun aseijin, vetan keima nang dou din kapang’e, chuleh na kangtalai jouse kahal vama, ameikhu ki tung let lut ding; chujong leh na sakei bahkai noute jong chemjama katha ding ahi; chule leiset chunga kona na kivah na ding sahing jouse katol mangsoh ding, nasot tol le a pang miho thusei awgin kijapha lou helding ahi.
