Isaiah 18
1 Anunae Kusah tuiva rhalvangan kah tungrhit phae khohmuen aih.
Ah, the land of the rustling of wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia;
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 sends ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of papyrus on the waters, saying, "Go, you swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people feared near and far, a nation strong and conquering, whose land the rivers divide."
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 you inhabitants of the world, and you dwellers on the earth, when a banner is lifted up on the mountains, look. When the trumpet is blown, listen.
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 the LORD said to me, "I will be still, and I will see from my dwelling place, like the clear heat in sunshine, 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 over, and the flower becomes a ripening grape, he will cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and he will cut down and take away the spreading branches.
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 will be left together for the ravenous birds of the mountains, and for the animals of the earth. The ravenous birds will summer on them, and all the animals of the earth will winter on 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.
In that time, a present will be brought to the LORD of hosts from a people tall and smooth, even from a people awesome from their beginning onward, a nation that measures out and treads down, whose land the rivers divide, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, Mount Zion.
