Nahum 1
1 An oracle about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
Elkosh Nahum kah mangthui cabu he tah Nineveh kah olrhuh ni.
2 YHWH is a jealous God and avenges. YHWH avenges and is full of wrath. YHWH takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he maintains wrath against his enemies.
Pathen tah thatlai tih BOEIPA loh phu a loh. BOEIPA loh phu a loh tih kosi boei la om. BOEIPA loh a rhal soah phu a loh tih a thunkha rhoek taengah khaw lunguen.
3 YHWH is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. YHWH has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
BOEIPA loh thintoek a ueh. A thadueng tah len khaw len tih hmil rhoe la hmil mahpawh. BOEIPA tah cangpalam khui neh hlithae khuiah khaw a longpuei om tih cingmai te a kho dongah a tangdik nah.
4 He rebukes the sea, and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers. Bashan languishes, and Carmel; and the flower of Lebanon languishes.
Tuitunli te a tluung tih a kak sak phoeiah tuiva khaw boeih a khah. Bashan neh Karmel te a tahah sak tih Lebanon rhaiphuelh khaw a tahah sak.
5 The mountains quake before him, and the hills melt away. The earth trembles at his presence, yes, the world, and all who dwell in it.
Amah taengah tlang rhoek khaw hinghuen uh tih som rhoek khaw paci uh. A mikhmuh ah diklai khaw, lunglai neh a khuikah khosa boeih khaw phoek uh.
6 Who can stand before his indignation? Who can endure the fierceness of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken apart by him.
A kosi hmai ah unim aka pai? A thintoek thinsa te unim aka oel thai? A kosi he hmai bangla hawk uh tih lungpang khaw amah taengah palet uh coeng.
7 YHWH is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.
BOEIPA tah citcai tue vaengkah lunghim la then tih amah ah aka ying rhoek tah a ming.
8 But with an overflowing flood, he will make a full end of her place, and will pursue his enemies into darkness.
Tedae lungpook neh aka pah rhoek tah amah hmuen ah a bawtnah hil a saii vetih a thunkha rhoek te hmaisuep ah a hloem ni.
9 What do you plot against YHWH? He will make a full end. Affliction won't rise up the second time.
Balae tih BOEIPA te na taeng. A bawtnah hil a saii sak vetih citcai pabae khaw pai thai mahpawh.
10 For entangled like thorns, and drunk as with their drink, they are consumed utterly like dry stubble.
Hling lakli ah aka ven uh tih a yuhuem bangla aka yumii rhoek ngawn tah divawt a rhae rhap bangla ung uh ni.
11 There is one gone forth out of you, who devises evil against YHWH, who counsels wickedness.
Nang lamlong ni BOEIPA aka taeng la boethae kah olrhoep hlang muen khaw a thoeng.
12 Thus says YHWH: "Though they be in full strength, and likewise many, even so they will be cut down, and he shall pass away. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Rhuemtuet la ping uh tangloeng dae a vok uh vetih khum ni. Nang te kan phaep cakhaw nang kan phaep voel mahpawh.
13 Now will I break his yoke from off you, and will burst your bonds apart."
A cunghloeng te nang dong lamloh ka khaem pawn vetih na kuelrhui te khaw ka bawt ni.
14 YHWH has commanded concerning you: "No more descendants will bear your name. Out of the house of your gods, will I cut off the engraved image and the molten image. I will make your grave, for you are vile."
Nang ham te BOEIPA loh a uen coeng. Na ming ham khaw na pathen im ah soem voel mahpawh. Mueithuk neh mueihlawn te ka hnawt ni. Na phuel te thaephoei ham ni ka khueh eh.
15 Look, on the mountains the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace. Keep your feasts, Judah. Perform your vows, for the wicked one will no more pass through you. He is utterly cut off.
Tlang soah rhoepnah aka phong tih aka yaak sak kah a kho aih ke. Judah aw, na khotue ah lam laeh. Na olcaeng te thuung laeh. Aka paan ham long khaw na khuila paan ham tah khoep voel ngawn mahpawh. Aka muen tah a pum la a thup ni.
