< Isaiah 14 >

1 Ahin Pakaijin Jacob son le pah ho chunga hepina aneiding ahi. Israel mite chu a mite hidia a tumbeh a alhen doh thah kit ding ahi. Agam sunguva chengdia ahin lepui kit ding ahi. Chuleh mipi gamtin namtin akona hung diu, Israel mite toh hung kigom khom diu ahi.
For Jehovah will have compassion upon Jacob, And will again set his love upon Israel, And cause them to rest in his own land. And strangers shall join themselves to them, And cleave to the house of Jacob.
2 Vannoi namtin in Pakai mite ahung kile nadiu va ana panpi soh keidiu, agam uva hung cheng hon Israel te jenle a pangdiu ahi. Israel manna’a anapang hon amaho leh amaho hung kiman tup untin, chuleh Israel in agal miteu chunga vai ahop dingu ahi.
The nations shall take them and bring them to their own place; And the house of Israel shall possess them, in the land of Jehovah, As servants and as handmaids; They shall take captive their captors, And they shall rule over their oppressors.
3 Hiche kidangtah nikho le chun, Pakai jin amite lunghem naleh kichatna akon, soh hina leh aki hennao akon choldona apeh diu ahi.
So when Jehovah shall have given thee rest From thy sorrow and thy distress, And from the hard bondage Which was laid upon thee,

Then shall thou utter this song over the king of Babylon, and say, “How hath the tyrant fallen, The oppression ceased!
5 Ajeh chu Pakai jin nagit louna hattah chu asuchip in, navaihom dihlou chu asukeh in ahi.
Jehovah hath broken the staff of the wicked, The rod of the tyrants,
6 Lunghang in mipi chu akhonna umlou vin na von, chuleh chi le nam ho lunghangin naman chah kheh in, khotona neilou tah in mite nabol genthei e.
That smote the people in anger, With a continual stroke, That lorded it over the nations in wrath With unremitted oppression.
7 Ahin achainan, leiset akicholdon athip chetne. Tun la sa kit thei tante!
The whole earth is at rest, is quiet; They break forth into singing.
8 Gammanga thingphung ho jengin jong-Cypress thingphung ho leh Lebanon a um Cedar thingphung ho-hiche kipana la hi asadoh uvin: “Nahung phuh lhuh a patnin, eiphuh lhudiu koima hung taponte!”
Even the cypress-trees exult over thee, And the cedars of Lebanon: 'Since thou art fallen, No feller cometh up against us.'

The under-world is in commotion on account of thee, To meet thee at thy coming; It stirreth up before thee the shades, all the mighty of the earth; It arouseth from their thrones all the kings of the nations; (Sheol h7585)
10 Aw khat tah in ahung peng doh un, “Tun keiho hatlou bangin nang jong nahat jou tapoi!
They all accost thee, and say, 'Art thou, too, become weak as we? Art thou become like us?'
11 Nahat naleh nathil bol theina toh kivuitha a nahitai, naleng inpi a selangdah gin atan tai. Lung hohi nangdinga ponpha hintin, chuleh lungmul hohi nadinga samul pon ahi.” (Sheol h7585)
Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, And the sound of thy harps. Vermin have become thy couch, And worms thy covering. (Sheol h7585)
12 “Vanna kon a iti nahung lhah ham, O valpa ahsi, jingkah chapa! Vannoi a chitin namtin sumangpa, leiset chunga din nolhah in na umtai.
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cast down to the ground, Thou that didst trample upon the nations!
13 Ajeh chu nang le nang na kihou vin, vanna kaltou ving katin, Pathen ahsi ho chung vum'a ka laltouna ki dong kate. Chuleh mol le lhang apat sah lang gamkai gamla tah a avaipon pang inge nati
Thou saidst in thy heart, 'I will ascend to heaven, Above the stars of God will I exalt my throne; I will sit upon the mount of assembly in the recesses of the north.
14 Vanchung sang penna kakal touding, chungnung penpa toh kabah ding ahi nati.
I will ascend above the height of the clouds; I will be like the Most High.'

17 Amahi hilouham vannoi susea leh agam leiset moh sumang'a chu? Hiche lengpa hilou ham vannoi khopi len tah tah suchim a leh a songkul'a tangho hepina beija bol a chu?
That made the world a wilderness, And laid waste its cities, And sent not his captives to their homes?'

All the kings of the nations, yea, all of them, Lie down in glory, each in his own sepulchre;
19 ahin nangma lhan akonna nahung kinodoh ding, pannabei thingbah nabah ding ahi. Mithi long kenga akilho khah banga japi lhan sunga na kileh lhantin, gal a kithat hotoh umkhom ding nahi. Kokhuh sunga nakum suh ding ahi.
But thou art cast forth without a grave, Like a worthless branch; Covered with the slain, who are pierced by the sword, Who go down to the stones of the pit, Like a carcass trampled under foot.

Thou shalt not be joined with them in the grave, Because thou hast destroyed thy country, And slain thy people; The race of evil-doers shall nevermore be named.

For I will arise against them, saith Jehovah of hosts, And I will cut off from Babylon the name and remnant, Posterity and offspring, saith Jehovah.
23 “Keiman Babylon hi koima umlouna mun kaso a, sumbuchanglit umna mun kasoding ahi. Agam jong chu doplah ngen hiding ahi. Suhgam na muntheh'a agam katheh ngim hel ding ahi. Keima, janel Pakai jin kasei ahi.”
I will make her the possession of the porcupine, and pools of water; Yea, I will sweep her away with the besom of destruction, saith Jehovah of hosts.
24 Thaneipen Pakai hiti hin akitep in ahi: “Kathil gon banga hungsoh doh ding ahi. Ka thulhuh banga hung um ding ahi.
Jehovah of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely, as I have devised, so shall it come to pass, The purpose which I have formed, that shall stand,

To crush the Assyrian in my land, And to trample him on my mountains. Then shall his yoke depart from them, And his burden be removed from their shoulders.

This is the purpose which is formed concerning all the earth, And this the hand which is stretched out over all the nations.

For Jehovah of hosts hath decreed, and who shall disannul it? And his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

In the year in which Ahaz the king died came this prophecy.
29 Kipah thanom hih uvin, nangho Philistine te, naki jepnao mol lhon chu abongtai tin-gal eisatpao leng chu athitai. Ajehchu hiche gul a kona chu guhat tah nei gul hung pengdoh kitding, na sumang diu gul hang tah hung umding ahi.
Rejoice not, all Philistia, Because the rod that smote thee is broken, For from the root of a serpent shall come forth a basilisk, And his fruit shall be a flying, fiery serpent.
30 Migenthei te keiman kavah ding; genthei vaichaho lungmonga kicholdo diu ahi. Ahin nangvang nelou chalouva katheh dohding chule amoh cheng jong kasuhmang ding ahi.
Then shall the most wretched of the poor feed quietly, And the needy shall lie down in security; For I will kill thy root with famine, And thy remnant shall be slain.

Howl, O gate! cry aloud, O city! O Philistia, thou meltest away in terror! For from the north cometh a smoke, And there is no straggler in their hosts.
32 Philistine palai ho ipi iseipeh diu ham? Seipeh un, “Pakai in Jerusalem asa doh tai bol gimma umten abang pang dungu kichol do na a ahinnei dingu ahi.
What answer shall be given to the messengers of the nations? That Jehovah hath founded Zion, And in her shall the poor of his people find refuge.
