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 those that go down to Egypt for help; and depend for support on horses, and trust on chariots, because they are many; and on horsemen, because they are very strong; but who turn not unto the Holy One of Israel, and seek not the Lord!

2 Tedae BOEIPAamah 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 bringeth evil, and taketh not back his words; and riseth up against the house of evil-doers, and against the help of those that work injustice.

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.

But the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses are flesh, and not spirit; and the Lord will stretch out his hand, and there shall stumble the helper, and he that is helped shall fall down, and they all shall perish 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 hath said the Lord unto me, Just as the lion or the young lion growleth over his prey, against whom is called forth the company of shepherds, of whose voice he is not afraid, and is not depressed because of their multitude: thus will the Lord come down, to fight on mount Zion and on its hill.

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 fluttering birds, so will the Lord of hosts shield Jerusalem; shielding and delivering; sparing and preserving.

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

Turn ye 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 on that day shall every man despise 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 Asshur fall by the sword of one who is not a man; and the sword of one who is not a son of earth shall devour him; and he shall flee him from the sword, and his young men shall become tributary.

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 his stronghold shall pass away for fear, and his princes shall be terrified because of the ensign, saith the Lord, who hath a fire in Zion, and a furnace in Jerusalem.
