< Isaiah 4 >
1 Tekah khohnin ah tah huta parhih loh tongpa pakhat te a mawt uh vetih, “Kaimih kah buh he ca uh sih lamtah ka himbai he bai uh sih. Kaimih ham nang ming te khue saeh lamtah kaimih kokhahnah khum puei mai,” a ti uh ni.
And seven women shall take hold of one man in that day, saying, Our own bread will we eat, and with our own garments will we be clothed; only let us be called by thy name; — take away our reproach!
2 Tekah khohnin ah BOEIPA kah a dawn te kirhang la, thangpomnah la, khohmuen kah a thaih te mingthennah la, Israel kah rhalyong te boeimang la poeh ni.
In that day there shall be a sprout of Jehovah for beauty and glory, and the fruit of the earth for excellency and for ornament for those that are escaped of Israel.
3 Zion kah aka sueng, Jerusalem ah aka sueng, Jerusalem kah hingnah dongah la a daek boeih te hlangcim la a khue ni.
And it shall come to pass that he who remaineth in Zion, and he that is left in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, — every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem;
4 Zion nu kah a khawt neh Jerusalem kah a thii te Boeipa loh a silh pah ni. A kotak lamkah tiktamnah mueihla neh a hoek vetih mueihla neh a hlup ni.
when the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have scoured out the blood of Jerusalem from its midst, by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.
5 Te vaengah Zion tlang kah a hmuen takuem neh, a tingtunnah ah, khothaih ah hmaikhu neh cingmai, khoyin ah hmaisai neh hmai aa te imkhui kah thangpomnah boeih soah BOEIPA loh a suen pah ni.
And Jehovah will create over every dwelling-place of mount Zion, and over its convocations, a cloud by day and a smoke, and the brightness of a flame of fire by night: for over all the glory shall be a covering.
6 Khothaih kholing vaengah poca hlipkhup la, khotlan tuihli lamloh hlipyingnah neh kuepkolnah la om ni.
And there shall be a tabernacle for shade by day from the heat, and for a shelter and for a covert from storm and from rain.
