Isaiah 18
1 Anunae Kusah tuiva rhalvangan kah tungrhit phae khohmuen aih.
Woe to the land with spreading wings, which is beyond the rivers of Cush,
2 Laipai rhoek te tuipuei longkah tui soah paan neh aka tueih. Puencawn aw, namtom aka cangdoek taeng neh a sa aka thool pilnam taengah khaw, he lamkah neh ke due aka rhih khaw, namtom a than a than neh, tilnoinah neh a khohmuen tuiva aka boe taengah yanghoep la cet laeh.
That sendeth on the sea ambassadors, and in vessels of bulrushes messengers over the face of the waters. Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation pulled and torn, to a people terrible from their beginning and onward; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!
3 Lunglai dongkah aka om boeih neh diklai khosa rhoek loh tlang kah rholik a tai vaengah na hmuh uh vetih tuki a ueng vaengah na yaak uh bitni.
All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, when the ensign is lifted up on the mountains, see ye; and when the cornet is blown, hear ye.
4 Te dongah BOEIPA loh kai taengah, “Ka mong, ka mong vetih ka ngol hmuen lamkah loh kam paelki ni. Khosae phuk vaengkah kholing bangla, cangah kholing vaengkah khomai buemtui bangla om ni.
For so hath said the Lord unto me, I will take my rest, and I will look down on my dwelling-place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
5 Cangah tomlael daengla boeih a pailum dongah thaihkang khaw a hmin la poeh. Rhaipai neh a dawn te vin neh a baih ni. A baek te khaw a hlaek vetih a saih ni.
For before the harvest, when the blossom is past, and the flower becometh a ripening grape, will he both cut off the tendrils with pruning-knives, and the sprigs will he remove and cut down.
6 Tlang kah vatlung ham neh lan kah rhamsa ham rhenten a hnoo pa uh ni. Anih te vatlung loh a poelyoe vetih diklai rhamsa boeih a loh soek ni.
They shall be left together unto the birds of prey of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the birds of prey shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
7 Te tue vaengah tah caempuei BOEIPA taengah kutdoe a khuen ni. Aka cangdoek neh a sa aka thool pilnam neh heben hebang lamkah aka rhih pilnam, a than a than kah namtu, tilnoinah neh a khohmuen tuiva aka boe rhoek te caempuei BOEIPA kah a ming phuk hmuen Zion tlang la cet uh ni.
At that time shall be brought as a present unto the Lord of hosts a people pulled and torn, and a people terrible from their beginning and onward; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the Lord of hosts, the mount Zion.
