Isaiah 31

1 Anunae bomnah dang ham Egypt aka suntlak thil rhoek aih, marhang dongah hangdang uh tih leng dongah pangtung uh. Ping uh tih marhang caem neh tahoeng uh aih. Te dongah Israel kah a cim taengla mang uh pawt tih Yahovah te dawtlet uh pawh.

Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!

2 TedaeBOEIPAamah khaw a cueih dongah yoethae a thoeng sak thai. A ol khaw a yueh voel pawt dongah thaehuet imkhui neh boethae aka saii kah bomkung te a tlai thil ni.

Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.

3 Egypt te hlang ni, Pathen moenih. Amih kah marhang te pumsa ni mueihla moenih. BOEIPA loh a kut a thueng atah aka bom kung te paloe vetih a bom hlang te khaw cungku ni. Te vaengah amih te a rhenten la boeih hmata uh ni.

Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helps shall fall, and he that is helped shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.

4 Te dongah sathueng neh cathueng ca loh a maeh a nguel thil bangla BOEIPA loh kai taengah a thui. Boiva aka dawn te rhoihui la a khue thil dae amih ol ah rhihyawp pawt tih amih hlangping long khaw a paa sak moenih. Te dongah caempuei BOEIPA tah Zion tlang neh som te muk hamla ha suntla ni.

For thus has the LORD spoken unto me, Like the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor bring low himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.

5 Vaa bangla lam tangloeng tih caempuei BOEIPA loh Jerusalem a tungaep ni. A tungaep vetih a huul ni. A kan vetih a loeih sak ni.

As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it.

6 Koeknah dongah aka muelh Israel ca rhoek aw, amah taengla mael uh laeh.

Turn all of you unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.

7 Tekah khohnin ah tah hlang boeih loh amah cakhli mueirhol, namamih kah tholhnah ham na kut loh a saii uh a sui mueirhol te a hnawt uh ni.

For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.

8 Assyria te hlang pawt kah cunghang dongah cungku vetih tongpa pawt kah cunghang loh anih te a hlap ni. cunghang taeng lamloh a rhaelrham vaengah a tongpang rhoek te saldong la om uh ni.

Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be humiliated.

9 A thaelpang khaw rhihnah loh a poe vetih a mangpa rhoek te rholik kongah rhihyawp uh ni. BOEIPA kah olphong tah Zion ah amah kah hmaipuei la, Jerusalem ah amah kah hmaipom la a pak ni.

And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the explicit sign, says the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
