Nahum 3
1 Woe to the bloody city. It is all full of lies and robbery. The prey doesn't depart.
Anunae thii aka long khopuei aih, a pum la laithae tih longrhak ah bae, maeh khaw hlong tlaih pawh.
2 The noise of the whip, the noise of the rattling of wheels, prancing horses, and bounding chariots,
Rhuihet ol neh hinghuennah kah lengkho ol mai neh. Marhang khaw rhetlo tih leng khaw a soek.
3 the horseman mounting, and the flashing sword, the glittering spear, and a multitude of slain, and a great heap of corpses, and there is no end of the bodies. They stumble on their bodies,
Marhang caem te cet tih cunghang hmaihluei neh, khopha caai neh, rhokpam cungkuem neh rhok khaw hmoeng. Te dongah rhok te bawt pawt tih a rhok dongah paloe la paloe uh.
4 because of the multitude of the prostitution of the alluring prostitute, the mistress of witchcraft, who sells nations through her prostitution, and families through her witchcraft.
Pumyoi kah pumyoihnah boeih, sungrhai hnam kah mikdaithen kah a then loh a pumyoihnah neh namtom a yoih tih a sungrhai neh hlang koca a yoih.
5 "Look, I am against you," says YHWH of hosts, "and I will lift your skirts over your face. I will show the nations your nakedness, and the kingdoms your shame.
Nang taengah ka pai coeng he. He tah caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Na hnihmoi te na maelhmai duela kan hliphen vetih na yangyal te namtom taengah, na yah te ram tom ah ka tueng ni.
6 I will throw abominable filth on you, and make you vile, and will set you a spectacle.
Nang dongkah sarhingkoi te ka voeih vetih nang kan tahah sak ni. Te vaengah nang te sawtkoi la kang khueh ni.
7 It will happen that all those who look at you will flee from you, and say, 'Nineveh is laid waste. Who will mourn for her?' Where will I seek comforters for you?"
Ana om dae lah, nang aka hmu boeih tah nang lamloh suel ni. Te vaengah, “Nineveh tah rhoelrhak uh coeng, anih ham unim aka rhaehba lah ve? Nang aka hloep te melam ka tlap eh?” a ti ni.
8 Are you better than No-Amon, who was situated among the rivers, who had the waters around her; whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was of the sea?
Sokko tui ah aka om Amon No lakah na then nim? Te tah a taengah rhalmahvong pin om tih a vongtung he tuipuei lamloh tuipuei duela om.
9 Cush and Egypt were her boundless strength. Put and Libya were her helpers.
Kusah neh Egypt kah a thaa khaw bawt pawh. Put neh Lubim khaw nang bomnah dongah om rhoi.
10 Yet was she carried away. She went into captivity. Her young children also were dashed in pieces at the head of all the streets, and they cast lots for her honorable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
Tedae anih tah vangsawn ah tamna la cet. A camoe rhoek khaw tol takuem ah a lu a til pauh. A thangpom rhoek te hmulung a naan thil uh tih a hlanglen boeih rhoek te hmaipom neh a siing uh.
11 You also will be drunk. You will be hidden. You also will seek a stronghold because of the enemy.
Nang khaw na rhuihmil vetih aka thuh uh la na om ni. Namah te thunkha taeng lamloh lunghim na tlap bal ni.
12 All your fortresses will be like fig trees with the first-ripe figs: if they are shaken, they fall into the mouth of the eater.
Na hmuencak boeih te thaihcuek neh a hlinghloek vaengah aka ca kah ka khuila aka cuhu thaibu banghui ni.
13 Look, your troops in your midst are women. The gates of your land are set wide open to your enemies. The fire has devoured your bars.
Na pilnam aih ke, huta rhoek khaw namah khui ah na thunkha la om coeng. Na khohmuen vongka te ah la ah coeng tih na thohkalh te hmai loh a hlawp coeng.
14 Draw water for the siege. Strengthen your fortresses. Go into the clay, and tread the mortar. Make the brick kiln strong.
Vongup tui te namah hamla than laeh. Na hmuencak khaw moem laeh. Tangnong te paan lamtah taplai la til laeh. Taptlang khaw tlaih laeh.
15 There the fire will devour you. The sword will cut you off. It will devour you like the grasshopper. Multiply like grasshoppers. Multiply like the locust.
Nang te hmai loh n'hlawp pahoi vetih cunghang long khaw nang n'saii ni. Nang te lungang bangla n'caak ni. Lungang bangla pung vaikhai lamtah kaisih bangla pung vaikhai.
16 You have increased your merchants more than the stars of the skies. The grasshopper strips, and flees away.
Na thimpom te vaan kah aisi lakah na ping sak dae lungang loh a cilh vaengah ding bitni.
17 Your guards are like the locusts, and your officials like the swarms of locusts, which settle on the walls on a cold day, but when the sun appears, they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.
Na taengom rhoek te kaisih banghui ni. Na rhalboei rhoek khaw yuet banghui ni. Yuet he khosik hnin ah tah tanglung dongah rhaeh dae, khomik a thoeng nen tah poeng sumsoek tih a hmuen mela a om khaw mingpha pawh.
18 Your shepherds slumber, king of Assyria. Your nobles lie down. Your people are scattered on the mountains, and there is no one to gather them.
Assyria manghai nang aka dawn rhoek te a mikku coeng. Namah kah a khuet rhoek khaw om sut uh coeng. Na pilnam te tlang ah pet uh tih aka coi om pawh.
19 There is no healing your wound, for your injury is fatal. All who hear the report of you clap their hands over you; for who hasn't felt your endless cruelty?
Na pocinah dongah toinah om pawh. Na hmasoe khaw nue coeng. Na boethae loh a dom te a bawt yoeyah pawt dongah na olthang aka ya boeih loh nang taengah kut a ving uh ni.
