Isaiah 19
1 Izip kawng pongah thuih ih lok loe, Khenah, Angraeng loe karang parai tamai nuiah angthueng ueloe, Izip prae ah angzo tih boeh; Izipnawk mah sak o ih krang loe anih hmaa ah tasoeh ueloe, Izipnawk ih palung doeh tui baktiah amzawt tih.
This is the burden against Egypt: Behold, the LORD rides on a swift cloud; He is coming to Egypt. The idols of Egypt will tremble before Him, and the hearts of the Egyptians will melt within them.
2 Angmacae hoi angmacae misa angtuksak hanah Izipnawk to ka pahruek han; nihcae loe nawkamya maeto hoi maeto, imtaeng kami maeto hoi maeto, vangpui maeto hoi maeto, prae maeto hoi maeto misa angtuh o tih.
“So I will incite Egyptian against Egyptian; brother will fight against brother, neighbor against neighbor, city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
3 Izipnawk loe palungboeng o tih, nihcae sak atimhaih doeh kam rosak han; to naah nihcae mah krangnawk, adoi sah kop kaminawk, kadueh kami ih pakhranawk, angzo han koi hmuen tahmaa rumram kaminawk khaeah lokdueng o tih.
Then the spirit of the Egyptians will be emptied out from among them, and I will frustrate their plans, so that they will resort to idols and spirits of the dead, to mediums and spiritists.
4 Izipnawk to hmawhsaeng ukkung angraeng ban ah ka paek han, nihcae loe tahmenhaih tawn ai siangpahrang mah uk tih, tiah Angraeng, misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih.
I will deliver the Egyptians into the hands of harsh masters, and a fierce king will rule over them,”
5 Tuipui ih tuinawk loe kang o tih; vapui tuinawk doeh amcap ueloe, kang boih tih.
The waters of the Nile will dry up, and the riverbed will be parched and empty.
6 Vapui tuinawk loe ahmui sae tih; Izip prae ih vacong tuinawk to apet ueloe, kang boih tih; akung kaom phroh hoi tuitaeng ah kamzam phrohnawk doeh zaek boih tih boeh.
The canals will stink; the streams of Egypt will trickle and dry up; the reeds and rushes will wither.
7 Tuipui taeng hoi tuiqum ih phrohkungnawk, tui taengah patit ih akungnawk to zaek boih ueloe, dueh tih, hnuk han koi roe om mak ai boeh.
The bulrushes by the Nile, by the mouth of the river, and all the fields sown along the Nile, will wither, blow away, and be no more.
8 Tanga naeh kaminawk loe palungsae o ueloe, cakoih patung kaminawk loe qah o tih; palok payang kaminawk doeh thazok o sut tih boeh.
Then the fishermen will mourn, all who cast a hook into the Nile will lament, and those who spread nets on the waters will pine away.
9 Tlangqui sah kaminawk hoi kahni sah kaminawk doeh azathaih tongh o tih.
The workers in flax will be dismayed, and the weavers of fine linen will turn pale.
10 Kahni sah kaminawk poek amro o ueloe, tangka hnuk hanah toksah kaminawk doeh palungboeng o sut tih.
The workers in cloth will be dejected, and all the hired workers will be sick at heart.
11 Zoan ih angraengnawk loe amthu o tangtang boeh, Faro poekhaih paek kaminawk mah doeh kamthu poekhaih to ni a paek o; kawbangmaw nang mah Faro khaeah, Kai loe palungha capa ah ka oh moe, canghnii siangpahrangnawk ih capa ah ka oh, tiah na naa?
The princes of Zoan are mere fools; Pharaoh’s wise counselors give senseless advice. How can you say to Pharaoh, “I am one of the wise, a son of eastern kings”?
12 Nang ih palungha kaminawk loe vaihi naah maw oh o? Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah Izip nuiah sak atimhaih to panoek o nasoe loe, vaihi na thui o nasoe.
Where are your wise men now? Let them tell you and reveal what the LORD of Hosts has planned against Egypt.
13 Zoan ih angraengnawk loe amthu o boeh moe, Noph ih angraengnawk loe aling thaih kami ah oh o boeh; Izip prae ah kaom acaeng zaehoikungnawk doeh loklam pazaesak boih boeh.
The princes of Zoan have become fools; the princes of Memphis are deceived. The cornerstones of her tribes have led Egypt astray.
14 Angraeng mah nihcae salakah anghmanghaih pakhra to kraih pae pongah, mu paqui kami mah angmah ih tamlok nuiah angsong baktih toengah, Izipnawk loe hmuennawk sak pazae o boih boeh.
The LORD has poured into her a spirit of confusion. Egypt has been led astray in all she does, as a drunkard staggers through his own vomit.
15 Lu maw, tamai maw, tanghang maw, akung maw, Izip prae mah sak thaihaih, tidoeh tawn mak ai.
There is nothing Egypt can do— head or tail, palm or reed.
16 To na niah Izipnawk loe nongpatanawk baktiah om o tih; misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah nihcae nuiah ban to takhoek thuih pongah, zit loiah nihcae loe tasoehhaih hoiah om o tih.
In that day the Egyptians will be like women. They will tremble with fear beneath the uplifted hand of the LORD of Hosts, when He brandishes it against them.
17 Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah Izip prae nuiah, kasae sak han pacaeng boeh pongah, Judah prae loe Izipnawk hanah zitthok prae ah om ueloe, Judah prae, tiah thuih ih ahmin thaih kaminawk boih zii o tih.
The land of Judah will bring terror to Egypt; whenever Judah is mentioned, Egypt will tremble over what the LORD of Hosts has planned against it.
18 To na niah Izip prae ih vangpui panga tonawk loe, Kanan kaminawk mah apaeh ih lok to apae o ueloe, misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng hmaa ah oep om lokkamhaih to sah o tih; to vangpuinawk thung ih vangpui maeto loe Amrohaih Vangpui, tiah kawk o tih.
In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the LORD of Hosts. One of them will be called the City of the Sun.
19 To na niah loe Izip prae thungah Angraeng han hmaicam maeto om ueloe, ramri ah doeh Angraeng panoek poehaih thlung to om tih.
In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the center of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the LORD near her border.
20 To thlung loe Izip prae thungah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng maathaih hoi hnukung ah om tih; minawk mah pacaekthlaek o pongah, nihcae loe Angraeng khaeah hang o tih; to naah anih mah nihcae pahlongkung hoi thacak lensawk kami to patoeh ueloe, anih mah nihcae to pahlong tih.
It will be a sign and a witness to the LORD of Hosts in the land of Egypt. When they cry out to the LORD because of their oppressors, He will send them a savior and defender to rescue them.
21 To tiah Angraeng loe angmah hoi angmah to Izip kaminawk khaeah angphong tih, to na niah loe nihcae mah Angraeng to panoek o ueloe, nihcae mah Angraeng khaeah angbawnhaih hoi hmuen tathlanghaih to sah o tih boeh; ue, nihcae mah Angraeng khaeah lokkamhaih to sah o ueloe, a lokkam o haih baktih toengah sah o tih boeh.
The LORD will make Himself known to Egypt, and on that day Egypt will acknowledge the LORD. They will worship with sacrifices and offerings; they will make vows to the LORD and fulfill them.
22 Angraeng mah Izip prae to bop tih; bop ueloe bohhaih ahmaa to hoisak let tih; nihcae doeh Angraeng khaeah angqoi o tih, to naah nihcae tahmen hnikhaih to Angraeng mah thaih pae ueloe, nihcae to ngantuisak tih.
And the LORD will strike Egypt with a plague; He will strike them but heal them. They will turn to the LORD, and He will hear their prayers and heal them.
23 To na niah loe Izip prae hoi Assyria prae khoek to manglaih lampui to om tih; Assyria kaminawk loe Izip prae ah caeh o tih, Izip kaminawk doeh Assyria prae ah caeh o tih, Izip kaminawk loe Assyria kaminawk hoi nawnto Sithaw to bok o tih boeh.
In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria. The Assyrians will go to Egypt, and the Egyptians to Assyria. The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship together.
24 To na niah Israel loe Izip prae hoi Assyria prae pacoengah, long nuiah tahamhoihaih katongh, thumto haih ah om tih;
In that day Israel will join a three-party alliance with Egypt and Assyria—a blessing upon the earth.
25 misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah nihcae khaeah, Kai ih kami Izipnawk, ka ban hoiah sak ih Assyria kaminawk, kai ih qawk ah kaom Israel caanawk loe, tahamhoihaih om nasoe, tiah tahamhoihaih paek tih.
The LORD of Hosts will bless them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt My people, Assyria My handiwork, and Israel My inheritance.”
