Nahum 1
1 Burden of Nineveh. The Book of the Vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
Elkosh tami Nahum ni, Nineveh kho hoi ka kâkuenlah a coe e Cathut lawk teh,
2 A God zealous and avenging [is] Jehovah, An avenger [is] Jehovah, and possessing fury. An avenger [is] Jehovah on His adversaries, And He is watching for His enemies.
Cathut teh na yon telah tang kayuem ni teh ka rek e lah ao. Lungkhuek laihoi a rek. Bawipa ka taran e taminaw hah a rek teh, a tarannaw hah sut a tareng.
3 Jehovah [is] slow to anger, and great in power, And Jehovah doth not entirely acquit, In a hurricane and in a tempest [is] His way, And a cloud [is] the dust of His feet.
Bawipa teh lung a pâcawn, a bahu hai ao. Hatei tamikayonnaw e yontha pouh hoeh. Bawipa teh bongparui hoi cakho kahlî dawk hai a cei, tâmainaw teh a khok rahim e vaiphu patetlah doeh ao awh.
4 He is pushing against a sea, and drieth it up, Yea, all the floods He hath made dry, Languishing [are] Bashan and Carmel, Yea, the flower of Lebanon [is] languishing.
Tuipui hah a yue teh khik a hak sak. Sawkca pueng rem aphui sak, Bashan mon hoi karmel monnaw teh a kamyai awh, Lebanon pei hai a kamyai.
5 Mountains have shaken because of Him, And the hills have been melted; And lifted up [is] the earth at His presence, And the world and all dwelling in it.
Bawipa e hmalah monnaw a kâhuet, monruinaw tui lah a kamyawt teh, a hmalah talai dawk kawm e pueng koehoi talai tami pueng teh a kampuen awh.
6 Before His indignation who doth stand? And who riseth up in the heat of His anger? His fury hath been poured out like fire, And the rocks have been broken by Him.
A lungkhueknae hmalah apimaw kangdout thai han. A lungkhueknae a hue apinine a ngang thai han. Hmai ka kang e patetlah a lungkhuek teh talungnaw a tip awh.
7 Good [is] Jehovah for a strong place in a day of distress. And He knoweth those trusting in Him.
Bawipa teh ahawi, runae a tho nah rapanim lah ao. Ama ka kângue e naw hah a khetyawt.
8 And with a flood passing over, An end He maketh of its place, And His enemies doth darkness pursue.
Tarannaw e kho hah tui hoi muen a khu teh, tarannaw teh hmonae ni a pâlei han.
9 What do we devise against Jehovah? An end He is making, arise not twice doth distress.
BAWIPA hah taran hanelah, bangtelamaw na kâcai awh vaw. Sapingkacailah a rawk sak han, bout tuk han kawi lah awm mahoeh toe.
10 For while princes [are] perplexed, And with their drink are drunken, They have been consumed as stubble fully dried.
Ahnimanaw teh pâkhing patetlah a kâvoun teh, Yamuhrinaw a parui e patetlah ao awh teh, remke e songnawng patetlah hmai a kak awh han.
11 From thee hath come forth a deviser of evil Against Jehovah — a worthless counsellor.
Cathut koe pouknae kahawihoehe ka tawn e tami teh nangmouh dawk hoi a tâco toe.
12 Thus said Jehovah: Though complete, and thus many, Yet thus they have been cut off, And he hath passed away. And I afflicted thee, I afflict thee no more.
Cathut ni a dei e teh, nangmouh teh na kuepcing awh, a misa na pap awh eiteh, rawknae dawk na pha awh vaiteh koung na kahma awh han. Kai ni nang ouk na rektap eiteh bout na rektap mahoeh toe.
13 And now I break his rod from off thee, And thy bands I do draw away.
Atu nang koe na phu sak e hno hai ka takhoe vaiteh na kateknae tangronnaw hai ka rathap han.
14 And commanded concerning thee hath Jehovah, 'No more of thy name doth spread abroad, From the house of thy gods I cut off graven and molten image, I appoint thy grave, for thou hast been vile.
Nang koe Cathut ni hno a sak hane teh, na miphunnaw hoi kâkuen hanh. Meikaphawk cathutnaw hah nange bawkim dawk hoi koung ka raphoe han. Nang teh na hawihoeh dawkvah na tangkom hah na tai pouh han.
15 Lo, on the mountains the feet of one proclaiming tidings, sounding peace! Celebrate, O Judah, thy festivals, complete thy vows, For add no more to pass over into thee doth the worthless, He hath been completely cut off!
Roumnae lunghawinae kamthang kahawi ka dei e a khoknaw teh monsom vah khenhaw. Oe Judahnaw, nange bawknae pawi hah sak awh haw. Lawkkamnae teh kuep sak awh haw. Tami kahawihoehnaw teh koung raphoe lah ao toung dawkvah nangmouh bout na tapuet awh mahoeh toe.
