Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Toe raihaih tongh kaminawk loe hnukkhuem ah vinghaih hoiah om o mak ai; canghnii ah Zebulun hoi Naptali prae to anih mah raihaih paek, toe hmabang ah loe tuipui caehhaih loklam, Jordan vapui taeng, Galilee prae ah kaom Gentelnawk to pakoeh ah om tih boeh.
1At the first time the land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephtali was lightly touched: and at the last the way of the sea beyond the Jordan of the Galilee of the Gentiles was heavily loaded.
2Vinghaih thungah paqai kaminawk loe kalen parai aanghaih to hnuk o boeh; duekhaih tahlip thungah kaom kaminawk nuiah, aanghaih to phak boeh.
2The people that walked in darkness, have seen a great light: to them that dwelt in the region of the shadow of death, light is risen.
3Acaeng kaminawk to na pungsak moe, nihcae anghoehaih to na pungsak boeh; cang aahhaih tue ah kaminawk anghoe o baktih, lomh ih hmuen amzet o naah kaminawk anghoe o baktih toengah, nihcae loe na hmaa ah anghoe o boeh.
3Thou hast multiplied the nation, and hast not increased the joy. They shall rejoice before thee, as they that rejoice in the harvest, as conquerors rejoice after taking a prey, when they divide the spoils.
4Midian kaminawk ukhaih thungah oh o naah sak ih baktih toengah, nihcae mah phawh o ih kazit hmuen, palaeng ah aput o ih hmuen hoi pacaekthlaek ah kaom kami ih cunghet to Angraeng mah khaeh pae boih boeh.
4For the yoke of their burden, and the rod of their shoulder, and the sceptre of their oppressor thou best overcome, as in the day of Median.
5Misatuh kaminawk mah misatuk haih khokpanai hoi athii kangnok khukbuennawk loe hmaiqoeng han koi hmuen ah ni om tih.
5For every violent taking of spoils, with tumult, and garment mingled with blood, shall be burnt, and be fuel for the fire.
6Aicae hanah nawkta maeto tapen boeh, aicae hanah capa maeto ang paek boeh; prae ukhaih loe anih ih palaeng nuiah om tih; anih ih ahmin loe Dawnrai, Lokthuih bomkung, Thacak Sithaw, Dungzan Ampa, Angdaehhaih Angraeng, tiah kawk tih.
6For a CHILD IS BORN to us, and a son is given to us, and the government is upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, God the Mighty, the Father of the world to come, the Prince of Peace.
7Anih ukhaih hoi angdaehhaih loe boenghaih om mak ai, David ih angraeng tangkhang hoi a ukhaih prae nuiah pung tahang tih; toenghaih hoi a patuk ih lok baktiah lok to caek tih, a ukhaih loe vaihi hoi kamtong dungzan khoek to cak poe tih. Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng thacakhaih hoiah hae hmuen hae akoepsak tih.
7His empire shall be multiplied, and there shall be no end of peace: he shall sit upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom; to establish it and strengthen it with judgment and with justice, from henceforth and for ever: the zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
8Angraeng mah Jakob khaeah lok to patoeh moe, Israel nuiah phaksak.
8The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
9Ephraim hoi Samaria ah kaom kaminawk boih mah to lok to panoek o tih, poeksanghaih hoi amoekhaih hoiah,
9And all the people of Ephraim shall know, and the inhabitants of Samaria that say in the pride and haughtiness of their heart:
10amlai long hoi sak ih im to amtimh cadoeh, kamtak thlung hoiah ka sak o let han; thaiduetkungnawk to pakhruh o cadoeh, a zuengah sidar thingnawk ka thling o let han, tiah lokthui kaminawk mah doeh panoek o tih.
10The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with square stones: they have cut down the sycamores, but we will change them for cedars.
11To pongah Angraeng mah nihcae tuk hanah Rezin ih misanawk to pahruek moe, Ephraim ih misanawk to angthawksak boeh;
11And the Lord shall set up the enemies of Rasin over him, and shall bring on his enemies in a crowd:
12Syria kaminawk mah ni angyae bang hoiah pakha aangh o thuih moe, Philistin kaminawk mah niduem bang hoiah pakha aangh o thuih pongah, Israel to paaeh o boeh. Hae tiah oh pacoengah doeh, anih palungphuihaih dii ai, a ban phok toengtoeng vop.
12The Syrians from the east, and the Philistines from the west: and they shall devour Israel with open mouth, For all this his indignation is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
13Toe kaminawk loe nihcae bopkung khaeah amlaem o ai, misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng doeh pakrong o ai toengtoeng vop.
13And the people are not returned to him who hath struck them, and have not sought after the Lord of hosts.
14To pongah Angraeng mah Israel to lu hoi tamai salakah takroek pat ueloe, tanghang hoi akung to nito thungah takroek tih.
14And the Lord shall destroy out of Israel the head and the tail, him that bendeth down, and him that holdeth back, in one day.
15Kacoehtanawk hoi khingya koi kaom kaminawk loe lu ah oh o, amsawnlok patuk tahmaa loe tamai ah om tih.
15The aged and honourable, he is the head: and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
16Hae kami zaehoikungnawk loe kaminawk to loklam caeh pazaesak moe, kaminawk to amrosak boeh.
16And they that call this people blessed, shall cause them to err: and they that are called blessed, shall be thrown down headlong.
17To pongah Angraeng loe nihcae ih thendoengnawk nuiah anghoehaih tawn ai, ampa tawn ai kaminawk hoi lamhmainawk nuiah doeh tahmenhaih tawn mak ai; nihcae loe angsah cop kami, kahoih ai hmuen sah kami ah oh o moe, amthuhaih lok to apaeh o. To tiah oh pacoengah doeh, anih palungphuihaih to dii ai, a ban phok toengtoeng vop.
17Therefore the Lord shell have no joy in their young men: neither shall he have mercy on their fatherless, and widows: for every one is a hypocrite and wicked, and every mouth hath spoken folly. For all this his indignation is not turned away, but his bend is stretched out still.
18Sethaih loe hmai baktiah kangh; kapring hoi soekhringnawk doeh hmai mah kangh ueloe, kathah taw doeh hmai mah kangh tih, thingnawk loe van ah angtoeng tahang hmaikhue baktiah om o tih.
18For wickedness is kindled as a fire, it shall devour the brier and the thorn: and shall kindle in the thicket of the forest, and it shall be wrapped up in smoke ascending on high.
19Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng palungphui pongah, prae loe khoving tih; kaminawk loe hmai ah tik koi thing baktiah ni om o tih; mi mah doeh angmah ih nawkamya to paquem mak ai.
19By the wrath of the Lord of hosts the land is troubled, and the people shall be as fuel for the fire: no man shall spare his brother.
20Anih mah bantang ban hoi paaeh tih, toe zok amthlam toengtoeng vop tih; banqoi ban hoiah caa tih, toe zok amhah mak ai; kami maeto boih mah angmah ih ban tampawk moi to caa o tih;
20And he shall turn to the right hand, and shall be hungry: and shall eat on the left hand, and shall not be filled: every one shell eat the flesh of his own arm: Manasses Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasses, and they together shall be against Juda.
21Manasseh acaeng mah Ephraim acaeng to caa ueloe, Ephraim acaeng mah doeh Manasseh acaeng to caa tih: nihnik angbom hoi ueloe Judah to tuh hoi tih. To tiah oh pacoengah doeh anih palungphuihaih dii mak ai, a ban phok toengtoeng vop tih.
21After all these things his indignation is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
