< Habakkuk 3 >

1 Hiche taona hi themgao Habakkuk in lakaija ahin sahdoh ahi.
This is a prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, according to Shigionoth:
2 Pakai, nangma chung chang thuhi abonna kana jahsa ahi. Na thilbolho hi kadatmo lheh jengin ahi. Achesa kum ho’a nana bolsa ahi bangin, ka ngaichat dehset petlaitahu hin nei panpi kituvin. Chuleh na lunghan laitah a jong mikhoto them nahina chu geldoh in.
O LORD, I have heard the report of You; I stand in awe, O LORD, of Your deeds. Revive them in these years; make them known in these years. In Your wrath, remember mercy!
3 Keiman Pathen chun Edom gal lama patna gamthip ahinjot galkai kamu’n, Paran molchunga kona Mitheng Pachu ahung kamui. Avah emsengsung chun vanthamjol alodimin, chuleh leiset chung hi avahchoinan alodim jengin ahi.
God came from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. (Selah) His glory covered the heavens, and His praise filled the earth.
4 Ahungna chu nisa hung sohdoh bangin akilang jenge. Akhutna konin vah ahung kikhodohin, athaneina kiselna muna kona hungdoh a ahi.
His radiance was like the sunlight; rays flashed from His hand, where His power is hidden.
5 Amasanga amangthah ding ho akijotnun, chule anunglama pulin ahinjuipaijin ahi.
Plague went before Him, and fever followed in His steps.
6 Ama adinleh leiset akithingin, avetna ahileh namtin vaipi akihot jenguve. Tonsotna ana um mol ho chu athechehin, chuleh a i-tiha thinglhang anaum ho chu asuchamin ahi. Ama Tonsotna Umpa chu ahi.
He stood and measured the earth; He looked and startled the nations; the ancient mountains crumbled; the perpetual hills collapsed. His ways are everlasting.
7 Keiman Kushan miho chu lunglhatah a a’umu kamun, chule Median namte jong chu kicha a tijatah a a’umu kamui.
I saw the tents of Cushan in distress; the curtains of Midian were trembling.
8 Pakai, nangman lung hanga twi chu najepma, twipi chu kikhena hija ham? Amaho chunga lunghimoa nahim? Ahipoi, nangin huhhingna sakol kangtalai chu nahin sol ahijo me!
Were You angry at the rivers, O LORD? Was Your wrath against the streams? Did You rage against the sea when You rode on Your horses, on Your chariots of salvation?
9 Nang in nathal le na thalchang koina na livathei chu napeije. Nangman leiset hi vadung twi ho lonna dingin na hongdohin ahi.
You brandished Your bow; You called for many arrows. (Selah) You split the earth with rivers.
10 Mol ho akivetle akithingin, twi kinong chun amasanglama ahin nuhin ahi. Twi thuh tah chun ahin samdohin, akhut chun Pakai lam ahin sang’e.
The mountains saw You and quaked; torrents of water swept by. The deep roared with its voice and lifted its hands on high.
11 Nisa le lha chu nathalchang ho jangkeija alenna chule natengcha vallihleh chu akipeipet in vanlaijolla ading dentai.
Sun and moon stood still in their places at the flash of Your flying arrows, at the brightness of Your shining spear.
12 Nangman gamsung chu lunghangin napaltanin, chule chitin namtin chu lunghangin nachotpha tai.
You marched across the earth with fury; You threshed the nations in wrath.
13 Na lhenchomte huhdoh dingin, nathaonute huhdohna dingin nakipat dohtai. Nangin migilou luchang chu na noigepin chule alua pat akengtou geijin najep pehtai.
You went forth for the salvation of Your people, to save Your anointed. You crushed the head of the house of the wicked and stripped him from head to toe.
14 Huipi hungnung banga hung kitola, beilamtaha Israel bahgam dinga go chu, nangin ama galvon maman nasumang’e.
With his own spear You pierced his head, when his warriors stormed out to scatter us, gloating as though ready to secretly devour the weak.
15 Nangman twipi chu nasakolla na paljengin, chule twi thahattah chu sangtahin kiting denin na umsah jeng’e.
You trampled the sea with Your horses, churning the great waters.
16 Hiche thu kajah in kasungil akithing jengin, ka muh jong kichatnan aphusepsupmin, kakengteni jong akihot hotnin, chule kichat tijatnan kakithing jenge. Keiman ka chunguva gal hungbol mipi ho chu vangsetna nasatahin ahinphah dingu nikho chu thipkhencha kanga ahitai.
I heard and trembled within; my lips quivered at the sound. Decay entered my bones; I trembled where I stood. Yet I must wait patiently for the day of distress to come upon the people who invade us.
17 Theichang phungho jong chu pahdoh hih uhenlang, lengpi guija lengpiga ho umhih hen; Olive phunga thao putdoh tahih jong leh, chuleh loujao hoa ima pou hih henlang chuleh ga sodoh tahih jong uleh; chuleh loujao hoa gancha ho thi’u henlang, ganhing ho jeng jong chu agoh in umu henlang hita jong leh;
Though the fig tree does not bud and no fruit is on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though the sheep are cut off from the fold and no cattle are in the stalls,
18 Keima Pakai a kipah nalai ding kahi! Ei huhhingpa Pathenna chu kipahna lai ding kahi!
yet I will exult in the LORD; I will rejoice in the God of my salvation!
19 Leng vaipo thaneipen Pakai chu ka thahatna ahi! Sa san bangin keng thaneina pen tin, munsang lai laiya jong eichopsah ding ahi. (Zai pipu chun: Hiche taona hi semjang khao tampi tothoa atumginga alamkai ding ahi.)
GOD the Lord is my strength; He makes my feet like those of a deer; He makes me walk upon the heights!
