Isaiah 16
1 Khohmuen aka hung tuca te Sela khosoek lamloh Zion nu kah tlang duela thak uh laeh.
O Lord, send forth the Lamb, the Ruler of the earth, from the Rock of the desert to the mountain of the daughter of Zion.
2 Anih tah a bu a hno tih aka poeng vaa bangla om tih Arnon lamkai kah Moab nu rhoek khaw te tlam te om uh.
And this shall be: like a bird fleeing away, and like fledglings flying from the nest, so will the daughters of Moab be at the passage of Arnon.
3 cilsuep khaw pae rhoela pae uh. Oltloeknah saii uh. Khothun lung kah na mueihlip te khoyin bangla khueh laeh. A yong vaengah a heh rhoek te thuh lamtah phoe boeh.
Form a plan. Call a council. Let your shadow be as if it were night, even at midday. Conceal the fugitives, and do not betray the wanderers.
4 Ka heh Moab te namah taengah bakuep saeh. Aka rhoelrhak kah mikhmuh lamloh amih hlipyingnah om saeh. Hlangphaep khaw khawk van ni. rhoelrhanah khaw khum bitni. Hlang aka taelh khaw diklai lamloh cing ni.
My fugitives will live with you. Become a hiding place, O Moab, from the face of the destroyer. For the dust is at its end; the miserable one has been consumed. He who trampled the earth has failed.
5 Ngolkhoel te sitlohnah neh a cikngae sak vetih, a soah uepomnah neh ngol ni. David kah dap ah lai a tloek tih, tiktamnah a toem vaengah duengnah khaw a ming.
And a throne will be prepared in mercy, and One shall sit upon it in truth, in the tabernacle of David, judging and seeking judgment, and quickly repaying what is just.
6 Moab kah hoemdamnah tah a poikuk la, a hoemnah te muep n'yaak uh coeng. A hoemdamnah neh a thinpom dongah anih te olsai tangkhuet boel saeh.
We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud. His pride and his arrogance and his indignation is more than his strength.
7 Te tangloeng ni Moab loh amah Moab pum ham a rhung te. Kirhareseth rhae te a rhung thil tih aka rhawp yungyi ham na caitawk thil.
For this reason, Moab will wail to Moab; each one will wail. Speak of their wounds to those who rejoice upon the brick walls.
8 Heshbon lohmali kah Sibam misur tah huum coeng tih, namtom boei rhoek loh a dawn a oh uh. A pae loh Jazer la a pha. Khosoek ah yam hmaang tih tuipuei khaw a poeng uh.
For the suburbs of Heshbon are deserted, and the lords of the Gentiles have cut down the vineyard of Sibmah. Its vines have arrived even at Jazer. They have wandered in the desert. Its seedlings have been abandoned. They have crossed over the sea.
9 Te dongah ni Jazer kah a rhah bangla Sibam misur te ka rhah tangkhuet. Heshbon neh Elealeh nang te ka mikphi neh kan hmilhmal sak. Nang kah khohal neh na cangah kah tamlung khaw paa coeng.
I will weep with the tears of Jazer over this, the vineyard of Sibmah. I will inebriate you with my tears, Heshbon and Elealeh! For the sound of those who trample has rushed over your vintage and over your harvest.
10 Cangthai dong lamkah kohoenah neh omngaihnah khaw khum coeng. Misurdum ah khaw tamhoe voel pawh. Misurtui te yuhui thil voel pawh. Va-am te a mael khaw a mael thil voel pawt dongah tamlung khaw ka bawt sak coeng.
And so, rejoicing and exultation will be taken away from Carmel, and there will be no jubilation or exultation in the vineyards. He who was accustomed to tread will not tread out the wine in the winepress. I have taken away the sound of those who tread.
11 Te dongah ka ko ah Moab ham rhotoeng bangla, ka kotak ah Kirhareseth ham hue a sak.
Over this, my heart will resonate like a harp for Moab, and my inner most being for the brick wall.
12 Moab kah a ngak a phoe pah khaw om bitni. Thangthui hamla hmuensang kah a rhokso te a paan vaengah coeng thai mahpawh.
And this shall be: when it is seen that Moab has struggled upon his high places, he will enter his holy places to pray, but he will not prevail.
13 Hekah ol he BOEIPA loh hlamat ah ni Moab ham a thui coeng.
This is the word that the Lord has spoken to Moab concerning that time.
14 Tahae BOEIPA loh koep a thui tih, “Kum thum khuiah kutloh kum kah bangla Moab kah thangpomnah neh hlangping boeih te rhaidaeng la muep om ni. A yolkai la aka sueng duen khaw khala pawh.
And now the Lord has spoken, saying: In three years, like the years of a hired hand, the glory of Moab concerning the entire multitude of the people will be taken away, and what is left behind will be small and weak and not so numerous.
