Isaiah 18
1 Ethiopia vapui taengah atuenh katuen pakhraeh mah tahlip ih prae loe khosak bing!
Ah, the land of the rustling of wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia,
2 Tuipui lam, tui nuiah palong hoi laicaeh patoeh kaminawk mah, Angtawt kaloe laicaehnawk, kasang moe nganhin kanaem kaminawk, canghnii hoi kamtong vaihi khoek to minawk mah zit o ih kaminawk, misatuk karah lok kaham lok apae kaminawk, vapui ampraekhaih ahmuen ah khosah kaminawk khaeah caeh oh.
that sends ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of papyrus upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people fearful from their beginning onward, a nation that metes out and treads down, whose land the rivers divide!
3 Long nuiah khosah kaminawk hoi long ah kaom kaminawk boih, anih mah maenawk nuiah kahni payang naah, khen oh loe mongkah to ueng naah, tahngai oh.
All ye inhabitants of the world, and ye dwellers on the earth, when an ensign is lifted up on the mountains, see ye, and when the trumpet is blown, hear ye.
4 Angraeng mah kai khaeah hae tiah thuih; Athun ih ni aengh baktih, thingthai pakhrik tue ah dantui kaomsak tamai baktih toengah, kang hak moe, ka ohhaih ahmuen hoiah ka dan han, tiah thuih.
For thus Jehovah has said to me, I will be still, and I will behold in my dwelling-place, like clear heat in sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
5 Thingthai qumpo pakhrikhaih atue pha ai nathuem, tadok to tacawt moe, apawk to misurthaih ah angcoenghaih atue thuem ah, tadoknawk to haita hoi athlik ueloe, tanghangnawk to pakhruh boih tih.
For before the harvest, when the blossom is over, and the flower becomes a ripening grape, he will cut off the sprigs with pruning-hooks, and he will take away and cut down the spreading branches.
6 Nihcae to mae nui ih tavaanawk hoi long ih moisannawk khaeah caeh tak tih; tavaanawk mah nihcae to nipui thungah caa o ueloe, moisannawk mah sik tue thungah caa o tih.
They shall be left together to the ravenous birds of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth. And the ravenous birds shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
7 To naah loe canghnii hoi kamtong vaihi khoek to minawk mah zit o ih kami, kasang moe, nganhin kanaem kami, tha kacak kami, khok hoiah minawk cawh kaminawk, vapui ampraekhaih ahmuen ah khosah kaminawk mah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng ohhaih Zion mae nuiah, misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng hanah tangqum to sin pae o tih.
In that time a present shall be brought to Jehovah of hosts from a people tall and smooth, even from a people fearful from their beginning onward, a nation that metes out and treads down, whose land the rivers divide, to the place of the name of Jehovah of hosts, the mount Zion.
