Isaiah 10
1 Ohe itobang lunghemnan hiche thudihlouva thutanho le dan dihlouva vaihom ho chu alamto tadem!
Woe to those who decree vain striving of iniquity decrees, and to the writers who write oppressive decrees;
2 Amahon migentheiho chungah kithutandihna alhunsah pouvin, kamite lah-a alhasamhon angaichat achandiu dol chanvou jong aphalpeh pouve. Meithaiho agem’un, naochagaho lhahsamna chungah phatchomna akiholuve.
to deprive the needy of their rights, and to rob the poor among my people of mishpat ·justice·, that widows may be their plunder, and that they may make the orphans their prey!
3 Gamlatah-a kon hahsatna kahin lhunsah-a gotna kahin chansah tengule ipi nabol diu ham? Koi kom nangatnuva panpina nathum diu hitam?
What will you do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help? Where will you leave your kavod ·weighty glory·?
4 Galmun’a nathilouvujongle soh-a dinga mi’n nakaimang diu ahitai. Hiche geiya jong Pakai lungdam dehlou ding, talen matsahbe dia khut alap jing nahlai ding ahi.
They will only bow down under the prisoners, and will fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
5 “Ohe! Itobang vangsetnan ahinlamto tadem—Keiman kalunghanna mite jepna tenggol banga kamanji Assyria chu.
Alas Assyrian, the rod of my anger, the staff in whose hand is my indignation!
6 Keiman Assyria hi eilunghansah mite kadelkhumsah-in, anei agou jouseu kachomgamsahin, tolbol laha amite kachilthangsah-e.
I will send him against a profane nation, and against the people who anger me will I give him an enjoinment to take the plunder and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
7 Ahinlah Assyria Lengpan ama chu kamanchah, kakhetbuh ahilam akihetpon; alungin angaito phapoi. Ama lunglam chu bailamtaha nam khat a pat nam khat suhmang jeng ding ti bou chu ahi.
However he does not mean so, neither does his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off not a few nations.
8 Ama’n seiyinte: ‘Kagal lamkai jouse jong hi lenga hungpang loi diu ahi.
For he says, “Are not all of my princes kings?
9 Calno kasumangui, Carchemish kabol bangun. Hamath jong Arpad bangin kamasanguva abohkhup tauve. Chuleh Samaria jong Damascus bangin kasumang tauve.
Is not Calno like Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus [Bucket of blood]?”
10 Henge, lenggam tamtah, apathen’u Jerusalem le Samariatea sanga loupijoho jeng jong abonuvin kajousoh tauve.
As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols, whose engraved images exceeded those of Jerusalem [City of peace] and of Samaria;
11 Chuti ahijeh-a chu Jerusalem le apathen’u chu kasuhmang diu ahitai, Samaria le apathen kasuhmangtha banguva,” tiin.
shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem [City of peace] and her idols?
12 Pakaiyin atohgon Zion molsang le Jerusalem’a asuhbulhitna dinga Assyria lengpa amanchah banga, Ama’n Assyria lengpa chung ngeiya jong gotna alhunsah ding ahi—ijeh-inem itileh ama chu akiletsah-in ahamhoitho ta’n ahi.
Therefore it will happen that, when 'Adonay [Lord] has performed his whole work on Mount Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking] and on Jerusalem [City of peace], I will punish the fruit of the willful proud heart of the king of Assyria [Level plain], and the insolence of his haughty looks.
13 Ama chun, “Keima banthahat vanga bou hichan hi kaboldoh ahitai. Keima chihna le themna dungjuiya thilgon kabol ahi. Chitin namtin galkul kaphutvangin anei-agouvu kachomngim tai. Alengteu jong bongchal kikailhu bangin kasulhugamtai.
For he has said, “By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I have understanding: and I have removed the boundaries of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures. Like a valiant man I have brought down their rulers.
14 Loubolpa’n ahtui alokhom bangin agoubom’u le alenggam jouseu kalohkhom sohhel tai. Koiman keima douna-a alha ajap ngam tahlou ding chuleh keima douna kamcheng khat jeng jong aphondoh ngamlou ding ahitai,” tiin aseiye.
My hand has found the riches of the peoples like a nest, and like one gathers eggs that are abandoned, have I gathered all the earth. There was no one who moved their wing, or that opened their mouth, or chirped.”
15 Ahileh, heicha’n athingtanpa sanga thupijoa kiseithei mong ding hinam? Thing-at chu athing-atpa sanga thupijoam? Thing tenggolin achanga lam ajotthei ding hinam?
Should an ax brag against him who chops with it? Should a saw exalt itself above him who saws with it? As if a rod should lift those who lift it up, or as if a staff should lift up someone who is not wood.
16 Hijeh-a chu, Pakai, Van galsatte Pakai chun Assyriate galsat hamhoithoho laha chu hise alhunsah ding, akiloupisahnau chu meikongin ahallhum ding ahi.
Therefore 'Adonay, Adonai Tzva'ot [Lord, Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies], will send among his fat ones leanness; and under his kavod ·weighty glory· a burning will be kindled like the burning of fire.
17 Pakai, Israelte salvah chu meikongin pangintin, Athengpa chu ameikou hiding ahi. Ama’n ling le khao jouse le melmate chu jan khat kah-a meikonga ahallhum ding ahi.
The light of Israel [God prevails] will be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame; and it will burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day.
18 Pakaiyin Assyria loupina chu theiga phatna gam'a gammang meikah banga meiya aleochaisoh ding; hichu nat-hise la’n jeh'a hiveiho amahthahgam banga manthaina umding ahi.
He will consume the kavod ·weighty glory· of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body. It will be as when a standard bearer faints.
19 Hiche gammang thupitah sunga thingphung lhomcha sohcha ding—alhom dan chu chapang jengin jong ajat asimthei khambep hiding ahi.
The remnant of the trees of his forest shall be few, so that a child could write their number.
20 Chuniteng chuleh Israel gam'a akidalha ahingdoh chengse chun Van galsatte Pakai, Israelte Athengpa chu kitahtah-a atahsan diu ahitai.
It will come to pass in that day that the remnant of Israel [God prevails], and those who have escaped from the house of Jacob [Supplanter] will no more again lean on him who struck them, but shall lean on Adonai, haKadosh Isra'el [the Holy One of God prevails], in truth.
21 Hiche akidalha ahingdohho, Jacob chilhahte chu Pathen Hatchungnung hengah kiletauvinte.
A remnant will make teshuvah ·complete return·, even the remnant of Jacob [Supplanter], to the mighty God.
22 Israelte chu twipi panga neldi jat phajongleu, alahuva ahingdohho bou chu Pakai koma kile ding ahiuve. Pakai chun amite chu asuhmang dinga thulhuhna dihtaha abol ahitai.
For though your people, Israel [God prevails], are like the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will return. A destruction is determined, overflowing with righteousness.
23 Henge, Pakai, Van gatsatte Pakai chun agamsung pumpi chu suhmang dinga anagotsa ahitai.
For 'Adonay, Adonai Tzva'ot [Lord, Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies], will make a full end, and that determined, throughout all the earth.
24 Hijehchun Pakai, Van galsatte Pakai chun hitin aseiye: “O Zion’a um kamite, Masanglaiya Egypt gam'a suhgentheiya naum lai banguva Assyriaten mollhon le hem’a nahin sat tengule kichahihun.
Therefore 'Adonay, Adonai Tzva'ot [Lord, Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies], says “My people who dwell in Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], don’t be afraid of the Assyrian, though he strike you with the rod, and lift up his staff against you, as Egypt [Abode of slavery] did.
25 Chomkhat joule nachunguva kalunghanna hung beiyintin, chuteng kalunghanna chu namelmateu suhchimitna dingin kileheitante.
For yet a very little while, and the indignation against you will be accomplished, and my anger will be directed to his destruction.”
26 Keiman Oreb songpi chunga Midian mite kakhaoguiya kajep’a Gideon galjona kapeh-a, chuleh kamoljol akidopsanga Egypt galsatte twipin alhohmanggam banga Assyriate jong kasuhmanggam ding ahi.
Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] will stir up a scourge against him, as in the slaughter of Midian [Strife] at the rock of Oreb. His rod will be over the sea, and he will lift it up like he did against Egypt [Abode of slavery].
27 Chuniteng chuleh Pakaiyin amite sohchanna phat akichaisah ding, alengkou-uva kon’a soh namkol asutlhahpeh ding ahi.
It will happen in that day, that his burden will depart from off your shoulder, and his yoke from off your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing oil.
28 Veuvin, tuhin Assyriate Aiath ah aumtauve. Migron ajotpauvin amanchah thilkeohou Micmash munah akoikhomuve.
He has come to Aiath. He has passed through Migron. At Michmash he stores his baggage.
29 Agallangkhat ahung galkaiyun, Geba munah ajan-geh tauve. Ramah khopi kichatnan akithingtai. Saul khopi, Gibeah mite jong ajam gamtauve.
They have gone over the pass. They have taken up their lodging at Geba. Ramah trembles. Gibeah of Saul [Asked for] has fled.
30 Tijatnan kholhang akisam’e: Vo Gallim mite! Laishah mite ngaiyun! Khoto naum ngeiyui, O Anathoth mite!
Cry aloud with your voice, daughter of Gallim! Listen, Laishah! You poor Anathoth!
31 Madmenah mite jong ajamcheh gamtauve. Gebim khomiten kiselna ding mun aholtauve.
Madmenah is a fugitive. The inhabitants of Gebim flee for safety.
32 Tu’n jong Nob khomunah nilhumin melmate akicholdovin, Jerusalem lhanga Zion Molsang hoitah chu agaldotnun akhuttum ajelkhumui.
This very day he will halt at Nob. He shakes his hand at the mountain of the daughter of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], the hill of Jerusalem [City of peace].
33 Hinla veuvin! Pakai, Van galsatte Pakaiyin Assyriate thingphung lentahpa chu thahattaha aphuhlhuh ding ahi! Akiloupisahna chu asatlhuh ding ahi. Hiche thingphung sangtahpa chu kiloilhu ding ahi.
Behold, Adon, Adonai Tzva'ot [Lord, Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies], will lop the boughs with terror. The tall will be cut down, and the lofty will be brought low.
34 Gammang thingphungho banga heicha-a kitulhugam diu ahi. Lebanon chu Hatchungnungpa masanga lhuding ahi.
He will cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon will fall by the Mighty One.
