2Sakol kijep gin , kangtalai kitol gin, sakol kinunkho gin leh kangtalai kipei gin pikhu!The crack of the whip, the rumble of the wheel, galloping horse and bounding chariot!

3Chuleh sakol touthem hon adelkhum khum uvin, Chemjam kol aval lah lah jengin Tengkol jong apah lah lah jeng’e; Sepai te akithatsa ho thilong alhuh lhuh-in akisen, mihem long simjou louvin alum in achung’a miho akipal lhu lhu jeng’ui!Charging horseman, flashing sword, shining spear; heaps of slain, mounds of corpses, dead bodies without end—they stumble over their dead—

4Thilsoh hijat pi hi sujohnu sujoh’a apan jeh a soh ahin, Lungset set’a umdoh a thina thei theija kiheidoh ahitai; chule sujoh a pang chun sujoh’a apanna jeh a namtin vaipi geija apui chatvaija deichat chat’a aksemna jeh a chu mitin vaipi geija apui chatvai soh ahitai.because of the many harlotries of the harlot, the seductive mistress of sorcery, who betrays nations by her prostitution and clans by her witchcraft.

5Hichun thaneipen Pakaijin hitin aseije, vetan, Keiman nang kadou nahi; na nihchol chen jong chu na maichang geija ka hodoh peh ding nahi; chutengleh namtin vaipi hi na sagoh keova pi chu ka vetsah a Lenggam jouse hin na jamopi chu amusohkei diu ahi.“Behold, I am against you,” declares the LORD of Hosts. “I will lift your skirts over your face. I will show your nakedness to the nations and your shame to the kingdoms.

6Keiman nang hi bonlhoh kase khum ding, muset set dia kabol’a, vet vet dia kaum sah ding nahi.I will pelt you with filth and treat you with contempt; I will make a spectacle of you.

7Koi koi hijongleh namu pha jouse chu kin leu diu, Nineveh khopi hi akeohel’a kijam ahitai, kon aka ka ding hitam? a lhembi ding leh alungmon ding koi kiholpeh ding hitam? tia asei dingu ahi.Then all who see you will recoil from you and say, ‘Nineveh is devastated; who will grieve for her?’ Where can I find comforters for you?”

8Nile vadung panga chenga akimvela twipi veikol soh hel, twikhanglen pal banga neija twipi banga nei No-amon mite sanga phajo nahim?Are you better than Thebes, stationed by the Nile with water around her, whose rampart was the sea, whose wall was the water?

9Ethopia chu aki hatsah na anahin, angahna bei Egypt jong akihatsahna ahi; Put khopi le Libya mite jong akithopia ana pangji ahiuve.Cush and Egypt were her boundless strength; Put and Libya were her allies.

10Hijongleh min apoh mang ahitan, sohchang dia che ahitai; achasen jouse akichilgoi sohtan, thingphung jouse jong akivogoi soh tauve; chule akhopi sunga migun ja um tah-tah ho jong min vang asan’uvin akihom tauve; chujongleh akhopi sunga mi thahat lai jouse jong thihkhaovin akihen sohtai.Yet she became an exile; she went into captivity. Her infants were dashed to pieces at the head of every street. They cast lots for her dignitaries, and all her nobles were bound in chains.

11Nang jong ju nakham ding, namit kisucho ding, melma a konna hoidoh na dia nangin kisel na ding na hol ding ahi.You too will become drunk; you will go into hiding and seek refuge from the enemy.

12Nakulpi jouse jong theichang phung bep ahin, theichang ga masa tobanga akiho lhah leh anenompa kamsung'a lenglut jeng ahi.All your fortresses are fig trees with the first ripe figs; when shaken, they fall into the mouth of the eater!

13Vetan, na sepaija pang ho jong na cho lai sunga numei jeng ahitai. Chule naki doupite din na gamsung a kelkot jouse lentah-tah-in akihong doh sohtai; na kelkot gol jouse jong hi meiyin akahvam soh hel ahitai.Look at your troops—they are like your women! The gates of your land are wide open to your enemies; fire consumes their bars.

14Kho ki-umna dingin twi gathal loijin, na kulpi jouse kikaidet loijin; bonlhoh lah a lenglut jengin chule changpol chilgoijin, cheh deng loijin;Draw your water for the siege; strengthen your fortresses. Work the clay and tread the mortar; repair the brick kiln!

15Meiyin namoh kahvam theijin tin, chemjam in na vautan thei ding ahi; khaokhote kithat gam banga natha doh jeng thei ahi. chule nangho le nangho khaokhote jat in kisim uvin lang khaokho te banginkipunsah jeng uvin!There the fire will devour you; the sword will cut you down and consume you like a young locust. Make yourself many like the young locust; make yourself many like the swarming locust!

16Na mite kivei ho chu punsah jingin, van'a ahsite sangin tamsah loijin; khaokhoten alha ajah jiuvin aleng mangloi jitauve.You have multiplied your merchants more than the stars of the sky. The young locust strips the land and flies away.

17Chule namilen na milalte jong khaosut te beh ahiuven, nadanthu lekha them ho jong hi meibol kai nikhoa pal dunga khaokhote jing lei loiya toubep ahiuve.Your guards are like the swarming locust, and your scribes like clouds of locusts that settle on the walls on a cold day. When the sun rises, they fly away, and no one knows where.

18Vo Assyria lengpa na kelngoi ching ho a ihmu soh tauve; na milen na milalte jong akitalsoh tauvin ahi. chule namite jong molsang chung dung jousea akithe thangsoh’uvin, akou khom ding koimacha aum tapoi.O king of Assyria, your shepherds slumber; your officers sleep. Your people are scattered on the mountains with no one to gather them.

19Chule namaha nasil ngim peh ding koima aumpon, natinna maha lah amelse behseh jengin ahi; ahinla nachung chang thudol japha chan akipah’uvin akhut abeng beng jeng uvin ahi. Ajeh chu tang louhela thilse nabol, koipen chunga hunglhung khalouva um kha em?There is no healing for your injury; your wound is severe. All who hear the news of you applaud your downfall, for who has not experienced your constant cruelty?
