Nahum 1

1 The word about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

Hiche hi Nineveh khopi chung chang thudola thuphondoh, Elkosh khoa pat Nahum kitipan themgaovin thil’amu banga athil amu ho kisutna lekhabu ahi.

2 The Lord is a God who takes care of his honour and gives punishment for wrong; the Lord gives punishment and is angry; the Lord sends punishment on those who are against him, being angry with his haters.

Pakai hi Pathen engsetah leh phula jing Pathen ahi. Aman a-lunghan teng phulah abol jin, Pathen in ama doudal te chung’a phu alah ding, A ma lunghanna chu a galmite chung a abuhlhah ding ahi.

3 The Lord is slow to get angry and great in power, and will not let the sinner go without punishment: the way of the Lord is in the wind and the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

Pakai hi kintah’a lunghang lou Thahattah ahi. Chule ajeh beijin Pakaiyin themmo nahi amoh ngaidam jipoi. Pakai hi chimpei le khopi huija alamlhan, Meilhang jouse jong hi akengphanga leivui jeng ahibouve.

4 He says sharp words to the sea and makes it dry, drying up all the rivers: Bashan is feeble, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon is without strength.

Twikhanglen jeng jong aphoa ahileh twi akanghel jitan, vadung jouse jong abonchan atingkang soh hel jin ahi; chule Bashan phai le Carmel mol jong anitah lhon in agop lha jitan, Lebanon lhang noulai jong agop paiji tai.

5 The mountains are shaking because of him, and the hills flowing away; the earth is falling to bits before him, the world and all who are in it.

Pakai masanga molsang ho jeng jong akihot lingji tauvin, Thing lhang gam ho jong angimsoh jitan ahi; Chule Pakai angsunga leiset jong ahomkeovin Aum jitan, Vannoi pumpi leh asunga cheng jouse jong abeisoh jitauve.

6 Who may keep his place before his wrath? and who may undergo the heat of his passion? his wrath is let loose like fire and the rocks are broken open by him.

Pakai a-lunghan teng koiham Ama masanga ding ngam ding? Alung han deu jeju chu koiham athoh ngapcha ding? Ajeh chu alunghan teng mei-al kisung lha tobang ahin, Songpi jouse jong hi Pakai jeh-in apoh keh jitauve.

7 The Lord is good, a strong place in the day of trouble; and he has knowledge of those who take him for their safe cover.

Pakai hi nunnem tah ahin, Gim le hesoh nikhoa kisel na kulpi ahi; Amaa kiselji mihem ho chu Pakaiyin amelchih sohkei ahi.

8 But like water overflowing he will take them away; he will put an end to those who come up against him, driving his haters into the dark.

Ama kidoupite vang chu Twisoh hattah letjeng junga hunglong chu atolmang sah hel ding, Amelmate jong chu muthim khojing lah’a adel lut ding ahi.

9 What are you designing against the Lord? he will put an end to it: his haters will not come up again a second time.

Ipi dinga Pakai dounaa thilgon naneiju ham? Pakaiyin achaina hel’a asuh manghel ding; akisatpite chunga chu nivei phulah khel-a khatveija asuhgam hel ding ahi.

10 For though they are like twisted thorns, and are overcome as with drink, they will come to destruction like stems of grass fully dry.

Ama kisatpite chu lingleh khao kihel chom tobanga, mangthah bep diu, chule changpol gosa banga mangthah ahitauve.

11 One has gone out from you who is designing evil against the Lord, whose purposes are of no value.

Pakai douna dinga tohgon neija, hangsan tah’a thuseija pang, nangmaa kon mihem khatbe hung louham?

12 This is what the Lord has said: The days of my cause against you are ended; they are cut off and past. Though I have sent trouble on you, you will no longer be troubled.

Pakai Pathen in hiti hin aseije: “Amaho hi thahat’u hen lang mi tamu jongleh abonchauva kisatgam’uva kitolmang del diu ahi. Nangma vang bol gentheijin ana um jongleh chun, tun nabol genthei kit tapong’e.

13 And now I will let his yoke be broken off you, and your chains be parted.

Chule tua ama namkol jon napoh chu kaloilhah peh ding, Chule na kikanna thihkhao jouse jong ka botan peh soh hel ding ahi,” ati.

14 The Lord has given an order about you, that no more of your name are to be planted: from the house of your gods I will have the pictured and metal images cut off; I will make your last resting-place a place of shame; for you are completely evil.

Chule nangma Assyria te chung chang thudol’a Pakaiyin thu apen, namin pu ding cha le nao hung peng kitlou ding ahitai; ajeh chu Pathen lim nasemthu nahou naa kona milim kilhajol hole kikhengjol ho aboncha ka paimanga, chule nangma kivuina ding lhankhuh, jachatna tampi kasempeh ding nahi,” ati.

15 See on the mountains the feet of him who comes with good news, giving word of peace! Keep your feasts, O Judah, give effect to your oaths: for the good-for-nothing man will never again go through you; he is completely cut off.

Ven molchung lah’a Kipana thupha choija chamna thu samphongpa kengphang te ni khu! Vo Judah na kut bol ding jouse kibol’in chule nakitepna bulhih soh keijin, Ajeh chu nangma lam’a migiloupa hung kit talou ding ahi, Ama chu kisumang hel ahitai.
