Nahum 1
1 The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
Elkosh Nahum kah mangthui cabu he tah Nineveh kah olrhuh ni.
2 The LORD is a jealous God and avengeth; the LORD avengeth and is full of wrath; the LORD taketh vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth [wrath] for 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 The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means clear [the guilty]: the LORD hath 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 rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.
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 at him, and the hills melt; and the earth is upheaved at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
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? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken asunder 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 The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that put their trust in him.
BOEIPA tah citcai tue vaengkah lunghim la then tih amah ah aka ying rhoek tah a ming.
8 But with an overrunning flood he will make a full end of the place thereof, 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 ye imagine against the LORD? he will make a full end: affliction shall not 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 though they be like tangled thorns, told be drenched as it were in their drink, they shall be devoured utterly as 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 thee, that imagineth evil against the LORD, that counselleth wickedness.
Nang lamlong ni BOEIPA aka taeng la boethae kah olrhoep hlang muen khaw a thoeng.
12 Thus saith the LORD: Though they be in full strength, and likewise many, even so shall they be cut down, and he shall pass away. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee 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 And now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.
A cunghloeng te nang dong lamloh ka khaem pawn vetih na kuelrhui te khaw ka bawt ni.
14 And the LORD hath given commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image; I will make thy grave; for thou art 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 Behold, upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! Keep thy feasts, O Judah, perform thy vows: for the wicked one shall no more pass through thee; 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.
