Isaiah 19

1 Egypt kah olrhuh, BOEIPA tah khomai dongah yanghoep la ngol tih Egypt la pawk. A mikhmuh ah Egypt mueirhol rhoek te hlinghlawk tih Egypt rhoek kah a thinko tah a khui ah paci coeng.

The burden of Egypt. Behold the Lord will ascend upon a swift cloud, and will enter into Egypt, and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst thereof.

2 Egypt te Egypt neh ka et thil vetih hlang long he a manuca khaw, hlang pakhat loh a hui khaw, khopuei neh khopuei khaw, ram pakhat ram pakhat a vathoh thil ni.

And I will set the Egyptians to fight against the Egyptians: and they shall fight brother against brother, and friend against friend, city against city, kingdom against kingdom.

3 Egypt kah a mueihla tah a khui ah hoep vetih a cilsuep ka hmaang sak ni. Te vaengah te mueirhol taengla, lung aka khueh, rhaitonghma neh hnam taengla a dawt uh bitni.

And the spirit of Egypt shall be broken in the bowels thereof, and I will cast down their counsel: and they shall consult their idols, and their diviners, and their wizards, and soothsayers.

4 Egypt te mangkhak boei rhoek kut ah ka det vetih amih te manghai aka tlung loh a ngol thil ni. Caempuei Yahovah Boeipa kah olphong coeng ni.

And I will deliver Egypt into the hand of cruel masters, and a strong king shall rule over them, saith the Lord the God of hosts.

5 Tuipuei tui khaw kak ni. Tuiva khaw rhaeng vetih haang ni.

And the water of the sea shall be dried up, and the river shall be wasted and dry.

6 Tuiva te khaw pam vetih bawn ni. Egypt capu sokko te kak vetih carhaek khaw tloih ni.

And the rivers shall fail: the streams of the banks shall be diminished, and be dried up. The reed and the bulrush shall wither away.

7 Sokko neh sokko hmoi kah sulhing neh sokko mutue boeih khaw rhae ni. Cuhu vetih om voel mahpawh.

The channel of the river shall be laid bare from its fountain, and every thing sown by the water shall be dried up, it shall wither away, and shall be no more.

8 Tuihoi rhoek te huei uh vetih sokko ah vaih aka voei, lawk aka thing rhoek khaw boeih nguekcoi uh vetih tui soah tahah uh ni.

The fishers also shall mourn, and all that cast a hook into the river shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish away.

9 Hlamik a yawt neh aka thotat tih, hlabok aka tak rhoek khaw yak uh ni.

They shall be confounded that wrought in flax, combing and weaving fine linen.

10 A rhungsut te tlawt vetih, kutphu la aka saii boeih khaw a hinglu ngat ni.

And its watery places shall be dry, all they shall mourn that made pools to take fishes.

11 Zoan mangpa rhoek khaw ang uh tangkik coeng tih Pharaoh kah olrhoep hlangcueih rhoek kah cilsuep khaw a dom coeng. Pharaoh te metlamlae, “Kamah tah hlamat kah manghai koca khuiah khaw ka cueih ca,” na ti eh?

The princes of Tanis are become fools, the wise counsellors of Pharao have given foolish counsel: how will you say to Pharao: I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?

12 Nang kah hlangcueih rhoek te maelae me? Nang taengah ha puen uh laeh vetih caemgpuei Yahovah loh Egypt a caai thil te a ming uh laeh mako.

Where are now thy wise men? let them tell thee, and shew what the Lord of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.

13 Zoan mangpa rhoek te nga uh tih Noph mangpa rhoek khaw rhaithi uh thae. Egypt nim te amah koca rhoek te a cong cong ah kho a hmang uh coeng.

The princes of Tanis are become fools, the princes of Memphis are gone astray, they have deceived Egypt, the stay of the people thereof.

14 BOEIPA loh a khui ah lungbuei lukil hnaven neh a thoek tih kho a hmang uh coeng. Egypt loh amah khoboe cungkuem dongah khohmang bangla a lok neh rhui uh.

The Lord hath mingled in the midst thereof the spirit of giddiness: and they have caused Egypt to err in all its works, as a drunken man staggereth and vomiteth.

15 A lu neh a mai khaw, rhophoe neh canghlong khaw Egypt ham bitat aka saii thai te a om moenih.

And there shall be no work for Egypt, to make head or tail, him that bendeth down, or that holdeth back.

16 Tekah khohnin ah tah Egypt khaw huta bangla om vetih lakueng ni. Te vaengah anih a thueng thil caempuei BOEIPA kah kut thueng hmai ah birhih pueng ni.

In that day Egypt shall be like unto women, and they shall be amazed, and afraid, because of the moving of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which he shall move over it.

17 Judah khohmuen te Egypt taengah birhihkuihut la om ni. Anih a phoei carhui te khaw a taengah birhih ni. caempuei BOEIPA kah cilsuep loh anih a uen coeng.

And the land of Juda shall be a terror to Egypt: every one that shall remember it shall tremble because of the counsel of the Lord of hosts, which he hath determined concerning it.

18 Tekah khohnin ah Egypt kho ah Kanaan ol la aka cal khopuei panga om ni. Te vaengah caempuei BOEIPA taengla ol aka caeng khopuei pakhat te tah koengloengnah khopuei a ti ni.

In that day there shall be five cities in the land of Egypt, speaking the language of Chanaan, and swearing by the Lord of hosts: one shall be called the city of the sun.

19 Tekah khohnin ah Yahovah kah hmueihtuk te Egypt khohmuen kah a laklung ah, a khorhi ah Yahovah kah kaam om ni.

In that day there shall be an altar of the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a monument of the Lord at the borders thereof:

20 Egypt khohmuen ah caempuei BOEIPA kah miknoek neh laipai la om ni. Aka nen kah mikhmuh ah BOEIPA taengla a pang uh vaengah amih aka khang tih aka tungaep ham te a tueih pah vetih amih te a huul ni.

It shall be for a sign, and for a testimony to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt. For they shall cry to the Lord because of the oppressor, and he shall send them a Saviour and a defender to deliver them.

21 BOEIPA loh Egypt te a tukkil vetih Egypt loh BOEIPA te a ming uh ni. Te khohnin ah hmueih neh khocang neh tho a thuenguh. Te vaengah BOEIPA taengah olcaeng neh a caeng uh vetih a thuung uh ni.

And the Lord shall be known by Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the Lord in that day, and shall worship him with sacrifices and offerings: and they shall make vows to the Lord, and perform them.

22 BOEIPA loh Egypt te a yawk sak ni. A yawk sak tih a hoeih daengah ni BOEIPA taengla a mael uh eh. Amih a thangthui uh vaengah amih te a hoeih sak ni.

And the Lord shall strike Egypt with a scourge, and shall heal it, and they shall return to the Lord, and he shall be pacified towards them, and heal them.

23 Te khohnin ah Egypt lamloh Assyria duela longpuei om. Assyria te Egypt la, Egypt khaw Assyria la cet ni. Egypt neh Assyria loh tho a thueng ni.

In that day there shall be a way from Egypt to the Assyrians, and the Assyrian shall enter into Egypt, and the Egyptian to the Assyrians, and the Egyptians shall serve the Assyrian.

24 Te khohnin ah Israel te a pathum la Egypt neh Assyria taengah diklai laklung kah yoethennah neh om van ni.

In that day shall Israel be the third to the Egyptian and the Assyrian: a blessing in the midst of the land,

25 Anih te caempuei BOEIPA loh a uem vetih, “Ka pilnam Egypt neh ka kut saii Assyria khaw, ka rho Israel khaw a yoethen,” a ti ni.

Which the Lord of hosts hath blessed, saying: Blessed be my people of Egypt, and the work of my hands to the Assyrian: but Israel is my inheritance.
