< 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, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own raiment: only let your name be called upon us, [and] 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.
And in that day God shall shine gloriously in counsel on the earth, to exalt and glorify the remnant 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 be, [that] the remnant left in Sion, and the remnant left in Jerusalem, [even] all that are appointed to life in Jerusalem, shall be called holy.
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.
For the Lord shall wash away the filth of the sons and daughters of Sion, and shall purge out the blood from the midst of them, with the spirit of judgment, and 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 he shall come, and it shall be with regard to every place of mount Sion, yes, all the region round about it shall a cloud overshadow by day, and [there shall be] as it were the smoke and light of fire burning by night: and upon all the glory shall be a defence.
6 Khothaih kholing vaengah poca hlipkhup la, khotlan tuihli lamloh hlipyingnah neh kuepkolnah la om ni.
And it shall be for a shadow from the heat, and as a shelter and a hiding place from inclemency [of weather] and from rain.
