Zephaniah 2
1 Gather yourselves together, yes, gather together, you nation that has no shame,
Kikhou khom’un nabon’un, kikhomsoh keijun, nangho jum leh ja helou nam mite.
2 before the appointed time when the day passes as the chaff, before the fierce anger of Yahweh comes on you, before the day of Yahweh’s anger comes on you.
Pakai thutanna nangchunguva alhum masangin, kikhom’un, Hui a changvai kisep mang banga na kisep mang kah in, kisih’un, Pakai lunghanna meikong banga aki buhlhah masang, chuleh Pakai lungset gimnei tah ahunglhun masangin, kisihun.
3 Seek Yahweh, all you humble of the land, who have kept his ordinances. Seek righteousness. Seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden in the day of Yahweh’s anger.
Gamsunga mi noinungten Pakai jeng hol’un, chuleh athupeh nit’un. Adih jeng’a thil bolding gouvin, chuleh nunem tahin hinkho mangun. Chutileh Pakaiyin, alunghan nikho’a na seldoh’uva chuleh sumang louva na huhdoh theiju ahi.
4 For Gaza will be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation. They will drive out Ashdod at noonday, and Ekron will be rooted up.
Ajeh chu Gaza leh Ashkelon khopi jong ahomkeuva kidalha ding, chule Ashdod leh Ekron khopi jong kisuchim’a kidel jamdiu ahi.
5 Woe to the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! Yahweh’s word is against you, Canaan, the land of the Philistines. I will destroy you until there is no inhabitant.
Ada nahiuve! Nangho twikhanglen panga cheng Philistine mite, chuleh Canan gamsunga cheng ho jouse jong, hiche thutanna hi nangho chunga chuding ahi. Ajeh chu Pakaiyin nangho nabeikei kah’uva na suhgam dingu ahi.
6 The sea coast will be pastures, with cottages for shepherds and folds for flocks.
Philistine gam, twikhanglen pang ho, hamhing gamlah naso ding, chuleh kelngoi chingho pansatna leh ganchate kikholkhomna mun hiding ahi.
7 The coast will be for the remnant of the house of Judah. They will find pasture. In the houses of Ashkelon, they will lie down in the evening, for Yahweh, their God, will visit them and restore them.
Judah mi ahingdoh amoh chengsen, hiche mun hi, kineh holna a aneidiu. Janteng Ashkelon a ingem ho’a jan choldo diu ahi. Chutahleh, Pakai a Pathen’u chun, khotona neitah a amite ahinvil ding chuleh asemphat kit’a hamphatna apeh ding ahi.
8 I have heard the reproach of Moab and the insults of the children of Ammon, with which they have reproached my people and magnified themselves against their border.
“Keiman Moab mite ham hoithona kajan, chuleh Ammon mite ajumso nau kajai. Amahon kamite noise tah’a anuisat’uva chuleh isahlou tah’a gal abolden’u kamu tai.
9 Therefore, as I live, says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, surely Moab will be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, a possession of nettles and salt pits, and a perpetual desolation. The remnant of my people will plunder them, and the survivors of my nation will inherit them.
“Tun, keima ka hing jing’e,” tin Israel Pathen, thaneitah Pakai chun aseiye. “Moab leh Ammon mite kisugam ding, Sodom leh Gomorah banga kisumang soh hel ding ahi. Agamsungu jong ling le khao dimset, chikhuh jeng hiding, chuleh aitih’a ahomkeova kijam ding ahi.” Chuleh kamite ahingdoh chengsen, amaho adelmang’uva agam sungu achenden diu ahi,” ati.
10 This they will have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of Yahweh of Armies.
Amahon akiletsah ga akisan diu ahi. Ajeh chu amahon Pathen mite chu noise tah’a atot thang’uva, thaneipen Pathen douna abol’u ahi.
11 Yahweh will be awesome to them, for he will famish all the gods of the land. Men will worship him, everyone from his place, even all the shores of the nations.
Pakaiyin agamsunguva leiset Pathen umho jouse asuh mang ding, chutah leh amaho tija tah’a alha ding ahi. Chuteng namtin vaipin ama cheh gamsung a, Pakai Pathen chu bohkhupa ahoudiu ahi.
12 You Cushites also, you will be killed by my sword.
“Vo, Ethiopia mite nangho jong ka chemjam’a na lousoh hel diu ahi” tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
13 He will stretch out his hand against the north, destroy Assyria, and will make Nineveh a desolation, as dry as the wilderness.
Chuleh Pakaiyin sahlam gamho douna-a akhut tum alapding Assyria gam asuhmang peh ding ahi. Nineveh khopi jong ahomkeuva aumsah ding, panna bei nelphai gammgo banga akoi ding ahi.
14 Herds will lie down in the middle of her, all kinds of animals. Both the pelican and the porcupine will lodge in its capitals. Their calls will echo through the windows. Desolation will be in the thresholds, for he has laid bare the cedar beams.
Akiletsah piu khopi chu, bongte le kelngoite kivahna leh kolna hiding, chuleh gamsa jouse jong kol diu ahi. In-gemsa ho lah’a chu, sumbupi ho, saphute, chuleh muthong ho hung cheng diu, aham gin’u kholai sung kithong ding ahi. Cedar thing a kisa in jouse jong ki suchim gam ding, chuleh in kot ho jong thilse ho kinot dim gam ding ahi.
15 This is the joyous city that lived carelessly, that said in her heart, “I am, and there is no one besides me.” How she has become a desolation, a place for animals to lie down in! Everyone who passes by her will hiss and shake their fists.
Hiche khopi chu ahi, kiletsah tah’a “Keima bou alenpen kahi” tia ama kichoi sang’a, kulpi detpen’a ana um chu. Ahinlah, tunvang ahomkeuva kijam ahitan, gamlah gamsate chenna mun ahitai. Avahle ajotpa jousen, akhut tum ajeldenun, nuijat nopnan aneitauvin ahi.
