Isaiah 13
1 Amoz chapa Isaiah in Babylon kisuh mang nading chunga thuhil khat anamun:
The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.
2 “Kihetsahna ponlap thinglhang vum'a khaisangin Babylon kimai topi din galsat dingho kou khomin thahattah leh thaneitah leng inpi ajotteng uleh amaho tilkhounan nakhut lhangin.
Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
3 Pakai, keiman, hiche natoh tonglha dinga galsat ho kapehdoh ahi. Ahin, ka lung hanna phondoh nadinga gal hang ho kakouva, choisanga kaum teng amaho jong kipah thanom diu ahi.”
I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, [even] them that rejoice in my highness.
4 Mol le lhanga husa khu ngaijun! Sepai tamtah kijot husa khu ngaijun! Namtin husa len pen ahi. Van Janel Pakai in hiche galsat sepai hohi akou khom ahi.
The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
5 Amaho hi gam latah a kona hunguva, kolning khel lama kona jong hung ahiuve. Pakai lungsatna podoh dinga amaho hi Pakai manchah ahiuve. Pakai in ama hotoh gam abonna asuhmang ding ahi.
They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, [even] the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
6 Kichat tijat pumin a eo vun ajehchu Pakai nikho chu ahung lhungtai- Hatchung nung in asuhmang ding phat chu.
Howl ye; for the day of the LORD [is] at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
7 Ban jouse ki chat pumin chatthei louvin aumin, lung jouse ajunlha gamin,
Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man’s heart shall melt:
8 Chuleh mipi suh tijat in a ume. Lung genthei nan aman chah kheh un, numei naosonat thoh abangu ve. Kipanpi leh kihuto thei lou vin khat le khat akive to un, tijatnan amai u atom jenguve.
And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces [shall be as] flames.
9 Ajehchu ven, Pakai nikho chu ahung lhunge a lungsat a lunghan tijat umtah nikho. Agam jong mi chen khahlou na gam asoding, chuleh michonse ho jong suhmanga um tha dingu ahi.
Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10 Vanlaijol ho jong hung vom lha intin, ahsi hon jong vah ahinpeh loudiu ahi. Nisa aso teng thimpi jingding, chuleh lhathah in vah apeh tah louding ahi.
For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11 Pakai, keiman, vannoi phatlou jeh leh migiloute chonset jeh a gotna kapeh ding ahi. Mi kiletsah ho ahoithonao kasuhchip ding, a thahat nao kiletsah piho kasuh nem ding ahi.
And I will punish the world for [their] evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
12 Keiman mihemte hi sana sanga manlujo a kasemding. Ophir sana theng sanga lujodiu ahi.
I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
13 Ajehchu keiman vanho kaloling ding ahi. Pakai lungsatna Pakai van sepai hon ahin vetsah tengu leh leiset jong a umna akona kichondoh ding ahi.
Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
14 Gamleng ho akona sakhineo ajammang banga Babylon a cheng mipi jong jam mang diu, kelngoi aching umlou bang diu ahi. Ami u’ akihol diu chule agam languva jam diu ahi.
And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land.
15 Koihileh akiman tapou chu satan’a umding-chemjam hemset na lhailut bang ding ahi.
Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined [unto them] shall fall by the sword.
16 Amitmu tah uva achateu cheng talih a umdiu ahi. A innu kibulu ding, chuleh ajiteu suhsetna umdiu ahi.
Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.
17 “Ven, keiman Medes te kachoudoh a Babylon te kaki maito sahding ahi. Dangka in jong lhem lha jou pouvin tin, sana a jong a jollhah joulou diu ahi.
Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and [as for] gold, they shall not delight in it.
18 Galsat sepai hon khangthah ho thalpi a akaplhuh diu ahi. Panpibei naosen ho chunga hepina anei lou diu, chuleh chapang ho chunga jong khotona anei lou diu ahi.”
[Their] bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.
19 Babylon lenggam adia loupipen, Chaldean ten Pahcha banga akithang at piu hi Pathenin Sodom leh Gomorrah asuhmang banga asuhgam ding ahi.
And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees’ excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
20 Babylon hi koiman a lo kittah louding ahi. Akhang akhanga akeoseh a umding ahitai. Umdetna neilouva chao lele jat hon ngahmun dinga jong adeilou diu ahi, chuleh kelngoi chinghon akelngoi u agepi nomlou diu ahi.
It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.
21 Neldi gam’a gancha ho jong mangthai khopi sunga kichonlut un tin, chuleh Si al ham banga ham gancha hon insung jouse alodim diu ahi. Sumbu changlit hon umnan neijun tin, chuleh gamkelcha ho hilai munna chu galha diu ahi.
But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.
22 Akulpi sunga ngeiho peng le le diu, chuleh leng inpi nomtah sunga si al hon ko akisem diu ahi. Babylon kem suh nading jat nikho akisim pan tai: aman thah nading phat hung lhung ding ahitai.
And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in [their] pleasant palaces: and her time [is] near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.
