Nahum 2
1 A scatterer has come up to your face, Keep the bulwark, watch the way, Strengthen the loins, strengthen power mightily.
Ka raphoe hane tami teh na hmalah a pha toe. Nange rapanim hah ring leih. Na keng hah caksak nateh tha kâ lat leih.
2 For YHWH has turned back to the excellence of Jacob, As [to] the excellence of Israel, For emptiers have emptied them out, And they have marred their branches.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut teh Isarelnaw e a lentoenae patetlah Jakop e a lentoenae hah ao sak toe. Ka raphoe e taminaw ni Jakop e catoun, a raphoe teh, ahnie a cakang hai koung a raphoe toe.
3 The shield of his mighty ones has become red, Men of might [are in] scarlet, With fiery torches [is] the chariot in a day of his preparation, And the firs have been caused to tremble.
Athakaawme taminaw ni ka paling e saiphei a patuep awh teh ka paling e khohna a kho awh. Ranglengnaw hah tahloi hoi laklak a ang teh, tahroenaw teh thouk a kâroe awh.
4 In out-places the chariots shine, They go to and fro in broad places, Their appearances [are] like torches, As lightnings they run.
Ranglengnaw teh cahucahu kacailah lam dawk atunglah, akalah a yawng awh. Hmaito patetlah a paling teh sumpa patetlah a yawng awh.
5 He remembers his majestic ones, They stumble in their goings, They hurry [to] its wall, And the covering is prepared.
Ransanaw a hroecoe teh ahnimouh ni ayânaw dei a tanawt awh. Khorapan koe karanglah a cei awh teh ramvengnae khu a sak awh.
6 Gates of the rivers have been opened, And the palace is dissolved.
Tui longkha a kamawng teh siangpahrang im a rawk toe. Nineveh tanglanaw e a khohna a rading pouh teh,
7 And it is established—she has removed, She has been brought up, And her handmaids are leading as the voice of doves, Tabering on their hearts.
bakhu patetlah khui laihoi lungtabue a ratup awh.
8 And Nineveh [is] as a pool of waters, From of old it [is]—and they are fleeing! “Stand, stand”; and none is turning!
Ayan hoiyah Nineveh khopui teh tuinawk patetlah doeh ao. Atuteh tui a lawng toe, kangdout awh, kangdout awh telah kahram nakunghai apinihai kamlang sin hoeh.
9 Seize silver, seize gold, And there is no end to the prepared things, [To] the abundance of all desirable vessels.
Ngun lawm awh. Sui hai lawm awh. Ngai kawi e hnopainaw suitabu thung e rasa teh baw thai hoeh.
10 She is empty, indeed, emptiness and waste, And the heart has melted, And the knees have struck together, And great pain [is] in all loins, And the faces of all of them have gathered paleness.
Khopui teh luengpalueng lah ao. Hnopai awm hoeh. Tami kingdi. Khoca pueng teh a lungpout awh, khokpakhu kâkhawng lahoi a keng a pataw awh teh, minhmai ka tamang lah ao awh.
11 Where [is] the habitation of lionesses? And a feeding-place it [is] for young lions Where a lion has walked, an old lion, A lion’s whelp, and there is none troubling.
Sendek a onae hmuen, sendek a canae hmuen, sendek canaw ni apihai kâtaket sak laipalah a onae hmuen teh na maw ao.
12 The lion is tearing parts [for] his whelps, And is strangling for his lionesses, And he fills his holes [with] prey, And his habitations [with] torn flesh.
Sendek ni a canaw hanelah a kei teh, a manunaw hanelah a lahuen a kara pouh teh, a kâkhu dawk a kei e moi hoi akawi sak.
13 “Behold, I [am] against you,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, “And I have burned its chariot in smoke, And a sword consumes your young lions, And I have cut off your prey from the land, And the voice of your messengers is not heard anymore!”
Ransahu BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, nange avanglah ka o han. Nange ranglengnaw hah hmai koung ka sawi han. Na sendeknaw hah tahloi hoi ka thei han. Na lawp e hnonaw talai dawk hoi ka takhoe han. Nange na patounenaw e lawk hah apinihai bout thai mahoeh toe.
