Isaiah 13
1 Amoz chapa Isaiah in Babylon kisuh mang nading chunga thuhil khat anamun:
A prophecy concerning Babylon, which Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saw.
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.
Upon the bare mountain lift up a banner; Cry aloud to them, wave the hand, That they may enter the gates of the tyrants!
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 given orders to my consecrated ones, Yea, I have called upon my mighty ones to execute mine anger, My proud exulters!
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 upon the mountains, like that of a great people! The tumultuous noise of kingdoms, of nations gathered together! Jehovah of hosts mustereth his army for 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 distant country, From the end of Heaven, Jehovah and the instruments of his indignation. To lay waste 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 Jehovah is at hand! Like a destruction from the Almighty, it cometh;
7 Ban jouse ki chat pumin chatthei louvin aumin, lung jouse ajunlha gamin,
Therefore shall all hands hang down, And every heart of man 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.
They shall be in consternation; Distress and anguish shall lay hold of them; As a woman in travail shall they writhe; They shall look upon one another with amazement: Their faces shall glow like 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 Jehovah cometh, Terrible, full of wrath and burning indignation, To make the land a waste, And to destroy the sinners 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 at his going forth, And the moon shall withhold her light.
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.
For I will punish the world for its guilt, And the wicked for their iniquity. I will put an end to the arrogance of the proud, And I will bring down the haughtiness of the tyrants.
12 Keiman mihemte hi sana sanga manlujo a kasemding. Ophir sana theng sanga lujodiu ahi.
I will make men scarcer than gold; Yea, men than the gold 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 make the heavens tremble, And the earth shall be shaken out of her place, In the anger of Jehovah of hosts, In the day of his burning indignation.
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.
Then shall they be like a chased doe; Like a flock, which no one gathereth together; Every one shall turn to his own people, And every one flee to his own land.
15 Koihileh akiman tapou chu satan’a umding-chemjam hemset na lhailut bang ding ahi.
Every one that is overtaken shall be thrust through, And every one that is caught 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 shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; Their houses shall be plundered, 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 stir up against them the Medes, Who make no account of silver, And as to gold, they do not regard 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 shall strike down the young men, And on the fruit of the womb they shall have no compassion; Their eye shall not pity the children.
19 Babylon lenggam adia loupipen, Chaldean ten Pahcha banga akithang at piu hi Pathenin Sodom leh Gomorrah asuhmang banga asuhgam ding ahi.
So shall Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, The proud ornament of the Chaldeans, Be like Sodom and Gomorrah, which God overthrew,
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 more be inhabited; Nor shall it be dwelt in through all generations. Nor shall the Arabian pitch his tent there, Nor shall shepherds make their folds 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 there shall the wild beasts of the desert lodge, And owls shall fill their houses; And ostriches 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.
Wolves shall howl in their palaces, And jackals in their pleasant edifices. Her time is near, And her days shall not be prolonged.
