Nahum 1
1 The doom of 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 A God watchful and avenging is the Lord; an avenger is the Lord, and full of fury; the Lord taketh vengeance on his adversaries, and keepeth in mind the deeds of 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 long-suffering, and great in power, but he will by no means clear the guilty: the Lord—in the whirlwind and in the storm is his way, and the clouds are the dust of 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 rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and all the rivers he drieth up: Bashan then withereth, with Carmel, and the flowers of Lebanon wither.
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 Mountains quake before him, and the hills melt away; and the earth is lifted up at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
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 Before his indignation who can stand? and who can subsist before the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken down by 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 strong-hold on the day of distress; and he knoweth those that 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 overflowing flood will he utterly destroy the place of [Nineveh], and his enemies will he pursue with darkness.
Tarannaw e kho hah tui hoi muen a khu teh, tarannaw teh hmonae ni a pâlei han.
9 What will you devise against the Lord? he is bringing about an utter destruction, the distress shall not rise up twice.
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, like thorns interwoven, and as men made drunken in their drinking bout, shall be entirely consumed as dry stubble.
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 There is gone forth out of thee he that devised evil against the Lord, the counsellor of infamous things.
Cathut koe pouknae kahawihoehe ka tawn e tami teh nangmouh dawk hoi a tâco toe.
12 Thus hath said the Lord, Though they be complete, and ever so many, nevertheless shall they be cut down, and it shall be over [with them]: and if even I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.
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 now will I break his yoke from off thee, and thy bonds will I tear asunder.
Atu nang koe na phu sak e hno hai ka takhoe vaiteh na kateknae tangronnaw hai ka rathap han.
14 But against thee hath the Lord decreed, that no heir of thy name shall be any more: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven and the molten image; I will prepare thy grave [there]; for thou art made vile.
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 Behold, upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace, Celebrate thy feasts, O Judah, fulfill thy vows; for never more shall the wicked pass again through thee, he is 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.
