Habakkuk 2

1 Kagalvenna muna chun kaldoh ingting chuleh ka pansatna muna chun ding ing’e. Chu che muna kona chu Pakaiyin kajaha ipi aseiding ve’ing ting chuleh keima kiphinna iti eidonbut nem ti ngah-inge.

I will stand upon my watch, and mount upon the rock, and watch to see what he will say by me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.

2 Chutah in Pakaiyin kajah a, “Ka donbutna hi songpheng ho chunga jihdoh in, hiti henlang hileh, alhaile pa chun midang ho koma thu phatea agalhut thei ding ahi.

And the Lord answered me and said, Write the vision, and [that] plainly on a tablet, that he that reads it may run.

3 Hiche ahung lhung ding kimu hi khonung’a ding ahi. Hiche hin achaina ding ahilchenin, chule hiche hin gu ilhungtei ding ahi. Ahung vaigeija ahijong leh, ngah hat in, ajeh chu kho ngaisot lou ding, hung lhung tei ding ahi.

For the vision [is] yet for a time, and it shall shoot forth at the end, and not in vain: though he should tarry, wait for him; for he will surely come, and will not tarry.

4 Mi kilesah chu vetem in! Amaho tah akisong uvin, chuleh ahinkho mandan’u chu akon chetchut nin ahi. Hinlah midih chu Pathena dinga tahsan aum nauva hing ding ahiuve.

If he should draw back, my soul has no pleasure in him: but the just shall live by my faith.

5 Nei le nga hao mana lungngahna thei ahidehpoi, chuleh mihoitho hon kicholdona anei hih uve. Amahon lhan tobang'in akamu chu ahonglenun, chuleh thina kisei tobang'in aphatai atipouve. Akiloset manuvin amahon namtina mi akhom khomuvin, chuleh mitampi chu aval lhum tauve. (Sheol h7585)

But the arrogant man and the scorner, the boastful man, shall not finish anything; who has enlarged his desire as the grave, and like death he is never satisfied, and he will gather to himself all the nations, and will receive to himself all the peoples. (Sheol h7585)

6 Hinla asoh chan loi jengu hin amaho ajumso ding’u ahi. Amaho chun dai thanopna anei uva, Migucha nangho itobang lunghemna in nahinphah diu hitam? Tua hi nachan ding dol’u na kimu ding’u ahi! Alamlouva na hung hao dohu ahin, hinlah itih chanpi hi hitia na masot nahlai dingu ham?

Shall not all these take up a parable against him? and a proverb to tell against him? and they shall say, Woe to him that multiplies to himself the possessions which are not his! how long? and who heavily loads his yoke.

7 Phulou helouva na leibatna houvin nachunguva thutanna nanei khum ding’u ahi. Na chunguva hungkiheijuva kicha le tija'a nadinpet’uva nanei jouseu nalahpeh dingu ahi.

For suddenly there shall arise up those that bite him, and they that plot against thee shall awake, and thou shalt be a plunder to them.

8 Ajeh chu nanghon namtin vaipi nei jouse nachom jeng’u ahin, tua hi ason achilhah ho jouseu chun nangho nei achom dingu ahi. Nanghon thinglhang gam pumpia tolthana naboluvin chuleh khopi ho chu alamlouva gimbolna in na lodimsah tauve.

Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the nations that are left shall spoil [thee], because of the blood of men, and the sins of the land and city, and of all that dwell in it.

9 Alamlouva phatchomna naholnauva konna in lentah tah nasahu hin itobang lunggim nan nahin lhunkhum ding’u hitam! Nagou haonauvin huhbit nachoh pehthei dingin na tahsan’un, hahsatna in aphah joulouna ding muna na insung mi busatsah a nahiuve.

Woe to him that covets an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evils.

10 Hinlah tolthana nabol jeh a hi, namin na jachat sah a chuleh nahinkhou nachan lo-u ahitai.

Thou hast devised shame to thy house, thou hast utterly destroyed many nations, and thy soul has sinned.

11 Banga song hohin nangho douna a kholhang ahinsap doh ding, chule inchunga inkam kilhunna inching noilama kidap hon jong noplouna ahin phondoh ding ahi.

For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beetle out of the timber shall speak.

12 Tolthana le a lamlouva sumtong mu’a konna khopi sadoh ho itobang lunghem nan na hinphah diu hitam!

Woe to him that builds a city with blood, and establishes a city by unrighteousness.

13 Van Sepai ho Pakai chun namtin vaipi ahaonau hi vutvai kisopeh ding ahi tia ana thutepsa hilou ham? Na tampi atohdohu jong aboncha pannabei ahi.

Are not these things of the Lord Almighty? surely many people have been exhausted in the fire, and many nations have fainted.

14 Tihon twikhanglen in achup bangin, leiset hi Pakai loupina hetna in alodim ding ahi.

For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord; it shall cover them as water.

15 Naheng nakom kham ngolsah a nangma itobang lungkhamnan nahinphah ding hitam! Nakhon chu achunguva na ngamin, amaho chu adasa sauvin a jachatpiu sagohkeu ahinau chu deitah a navet theina dingin nabollin ahi.

Woe to him that gives his neighbour to drink the thick lees [of wine], and intoxicates [him], that he may look upon their secret parts.

16 Hinla kintaha na chunga minset sahna hung lhung ding ahi. Hungin, donin chuleh muthei din kilangdohin. Pakai thutanna khon’a kon chun hung donin, chule na loupinau jouse chu jachatna hin sodoh hen.

Drink thou also [thy] fill of disgrace instead of glory: shake, O heart, and quake, the cup of the right hand of the Lord has come round upon thee, and dishonour has gathered upon thy glory.

17 Nanghon Lebanon gammang ho chu na satchaijui. Tua hi nangho kisatlha ding nahiuve. Nanghon gamsa ho chu na sumang hel’ui, hijeha hi amaho kicha a na um’u ahitai. Agamsung pumpia toltha naboluvin, chule khopi ho jong chu nosopa kibolna nadip dimu ahitai.

For the ungodliness of Libanus shall cover thee, and distress because of wild beasts shall dismay thee, because of the blood of men, and the sins of the land and city, and of all that dwell in it.

18 Mihem khutnin asem milim chu ipi phatchomna uma ahilouleh nalhemlhauva pang milim kilhajol chu phamonga hinam? Nakhut tahun asem thil tahsan chu ipi phatchomna ham, pathen kihoulimpi thei hilou chu!

What profit it the graven image, that they have graven it? [one] has made it a molten work, a false image; for the maker has trusted in his work, to make dumb idols.

19 Thinga kona kisem milimho jaha, “Khangin lang chule nei huhdoh un” tiho chunga itobang lunghemna in nanga’u hitam! Thusei theilou song milim kisem ho jah a, “Thoudoh un chuleh neihilun” natiuve. Milim khat nin ipi bol ding nahil theijum? Sana le dangka a kisem himaithei junte, hinla amahon asunguva hinna anei pouve.

Woe to him that says to the wood, Awake, arise; and to the stone, Be thou exalted! whereas it is an image, and this is a casting of gold and silver, and there is no breath in it.

20 Hinlah Pakai hi Ahou In Thenga aum’e. Leiset pumpi a angsunga thipchet hen”.

But the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth fear before him.
