Habakkuk 1
1 The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.
Profet Habakkuk ni a coe e profet lawk teh,
2 O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear? I cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save.
Oe Cathut, na thai laipalah nâtotouh maw na kaw han vaw Na rungngang laipalah, kai ni hno kathout ka kâhmo laihoi nâtotouh maw na hmalah kahram han vaw
3 Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and look upon perverseness? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there is strife, and contention riseth up.
Bangkongmaw kamsoumhoehe naw hah na pâtue vaw. Bangkongmaw hno kathout naw na hmu sak vaw Bangkongmaw Lawpnae, thamanae na kâhmo sak vaw. Bangkongmaw tami reira khuet kâoun awh teh, khuet kâyue awh vaw.
4 Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore judgment goeth forth perverted.
Hatdawkvah kâlawk teh cungkeihoeh toe. Kamsoum lah lawkcengnae awm hoeh toe. Tami kahawihoehnaw ni tami kalannaw teh, kamsoum hoeh lah lawk a ceng awh.
5 Behold ye among the nations, and regard, and wonder marvelously: for I work a work in your days, which ye will not believe though it be told you.
Lawkkam kacakhoehe taminaw khen nateh muenkângai awh haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmouh koe ayâ ni na patue haiyah na yuem thai awh hoeh e hah nangmae atueng dawk ka sak han.
6 For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation; which march through the breadth of the earth, to possess dwelling places that are not theirs.
Ahue karang poung e Khaldean taminaw hah ka hroecoe toe. Amamae ram lah kaawm hoeh e ramnaw hah la hanelah kho tangkuem a cei awh han.
7 They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves.
Takithopoung e tami lah ao awh teh, ama ngai e patetlah lawk a ceng awh.
8 Their horses also are swifter than leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves; and their horsemen spread themselves: yea, their horsemen come from far; they fly as an eagle that hasteth to devour.
Ahnie marang teh, kaisi hlak a rang. Karum lah kâva e Asuinaw hlak a huencawn awh. Marangransanaw ni ahlanae koehoi tho awh vaiteh, a coukdouk awh han. Moi kei hanlah karang poung e langta patetlah kamleng awh vaiteh a tho awh han.
9 They come all of them for violence; their faces are set eagerly as the east wind; and they gather captives as the sand.
Hote taminaw teh rektap hanelah a tho awh. Hmalah dueng ka khen e ransa lah ao awh teh, a man awh e taminaw teh sadi yit touh a pha sak awh han.
10 Yea, he scoffeth at kings, and princes are a derision unto him: he derideth every strong hold; for he heapeth up dust, and taketh it.
Siangpahrangnaw a dudam awh, khobawinaw hai banglahai noutna awh hoeh. Khopui rapanimnaw pueng hai panuikhai awh vaiteh, vaiphu a pâpawp awh vaiteh a tuk awh han.
11 Then shall he sweep by [as] a wind, and shall pass over, and be guilty: [even] he whose might is his god.
Hathnukkhu ahnimanaw teh a pouknae a kâthung awh teh a sakpayon e phu teh a hmu awh han. Ahnimae a thaonae teh amamae cathut doeh toe.
12 Art not thou from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained him for judgment; and thou, O Rock, hast established him for correction.
Oe, BAWIPA ka Cathut, nang teh kaie kathounge Cathut lah na o teh, a yungyoe na kangning e nahoehmaw. Hottelah pawiteh, kaimanaw teh duenae koehoi kahlout awh han doeh. Oe BAWIPA, kaimanaw lawkceng nahanelah ahnimanaw hah na hmoun toe. Oe Ka lungsong, yue sak hanelah ahnimanaw hah hmuen na poe toe.
13 Thou that art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and that canst not look on perverseness, wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy peace when the wicked swalloweth up the man that is more righteous than he;
Nang teh kahawihoehe hno hmu hanelah a mit teh a thoungpoung. Hno kathout a hmu navah, awm takhai thai hoeh. Hottelah pawiteh, lawkkam kacakhoehe naw hah bangkongmaw na khetyawt vaw. Tami kahawihoehe naw ni tami kalannaw a thei navah bangkongmaw duem na o takhai.
14 and makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?
Nang ni, taminaw hah tuipui dawk e tanganaw patetlah, ukkung ka tawn hoeh e ahrinaw patetlah bangkongmaw na coung sak.
15 He taketh up all of them with the angle, he catcheth them in his net, and gathereth them in his drag: therefore he rejoiceth and is glad.
Taran ni hote taminaw pueng hah hradang hoi sawn vaiteh, tamlawk hoi heng vaiteh, tamlawk hoi a kalup teh a lung ouk ahawi awh.
16 Therefore he sacrificeth unto his net, and burneth incense unto his drag; because by them his portion is fat, and his meat plenteous.
Ama e tamlawk hah a thueng teh, amae tamlawk hanlah hmuitui hah hmai ouk a sawi. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hote hno hoiyah hnopai ouk a hmu teh kaboumlah ouk a kâkawk nah.
17 Shall he therefore empty his net, and not spare to slay the nations continually?
Hatdawkvah ahni ni tamlawk, tamlawk dawk e tanganaw hah a rabawk han na maw. Miphunnaw hah pasai laipalah pou a thei han na maw.
