Isaiah 16
1 Gamsung vaipo kai pehdin kelngoinou ho chu hin sol’un sela akonin. Nelgam akon zion molsang gei adin hin solun.
Send ye a lamb [to] the ruler of the land, From Selah in the wilderness, Unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.
2 Moab numei ho chu Arnon vadung palgal kaina adong lai achun vacha buh neilou bangin dalhah in aumun ahi.
And it hath come to pass, As a wandering bird, a nest cast out, Are daughters of Moab, [at] fords of Arnon.
3 “Nei panpiu vin,” tin apengun ahi.” Neihuhdoh un kagal mi teu akonin. Lungsetna beija gal eisat hoa konin nei vengbit un. Kapel doh tah jeh un tun nei lhem tahih un.
Bring ye in counsel, do judgment, Make as night thy shadow in the midst of noon, Hide outcasts, the wanderer reveal not.
4 Ka mite galjam ho chu nalah uva umuhen kichat tijat beikah in galmi ho akonin anasel tup un.” Kibolgim naleh manthahna ahung kichai teng, galmi mibulu ho a manthah teng uleh,
Sojourn in thee do My outcasts, O Moab, Be a secret hiding-place to them, From the face of a destroyer, For ceased hath the extortioner, Finished hath been a destroyer, Consumed the treaders down out of the land.
5 Pathenin David khanggui akona leng khat ahin tun doh ding ahi. Amachun hepinaleh thutah'a vai ahom ding ahi. Adih chu ipiham aman abol jing ding, chuleh thilpha bolding alungvil ten ding ahi.
And established in kindness is the throne, And [one] hath sat on it in truth, in the tent of David, Judging and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.
6 Moab kiletsah dan chu kana jaove- akiletsah nao, ahoithonao leh angolnao. Ahin akisonnao jouse amang gam tan ahi.
We have heard of the pride of Moab — very proud, His pride, and his arrogance, and his wrath, Not right [are] his devices.
7 Moab gamsung mijouse akap un ahi. Ahin, Moab a cheng mijousen a puldou uve, Kir-hareseth akon lengpithei agop tan ahi. Tuhin a umgam tapouve.
Therefore howl doth Moab for Moab, all of it doth howl, For the grape-cakes of Kir-Hareseth it meditateth, Surely they are smitten.
8 Heshbon a louho dalhah in a umtan; Sibmah a lengpilei hojong dalhah in a umtai chitin namtin chunga vaihom hon Moab asukeh taove-hoitah tah lengpithei gui ho chu. Akhaogui sah langa patnin Jazer khosung gei jin akiphan, solam gamthip gamgei jin a kikhai lha in ahi. Ajihdon lhumlam gei aphan, twikhanglen gal a ajam gal kai tao ve.
Because fields of Heshbon languish, The vine of Sibmah, Lords of nations did beat her choice vines, Unto Jazer they have come, They have wandered in a wilderness, Her plants have spread themselves, They have passed over a sea.
9 Hijeh chun tun keiman Jazer leh Sibmah lengpilei kaka pitai; ka mitlhi twi Heshbon leh Eleahleh a din along'e. Nipi laiya honga louga khoptup jeh a kipana lhangsap jong aum tapoi.
Therefore I weep with the weeping of Jazer, The vine of Sibmah, I water thee [with] my tear, O Heshbon and Elealeh, For — for thy summer fruits, and for thy harvest, The shouting hath fallen.
10 Kipana chu tun a umtapoi, neh khoptup jeh a kipana aumtapoi. Lengpilei sunga lasah jong umtapon tin, kipana lhangsap jong um taponte, lengpitwi’a akipanao jouse kasuh hai peh ahitai.
And removed have been gladness and joy from the fruitful field, And in vineyards they sing not, nor shout, Wine in the presses treadeth not the treader, Shouting I have caused to cease.
11 Selangdah tuma puldou va akimao banga Moab adinga ka lungsung kap ahi. Kir-hareseth adin lunggenthei in kadimin ahi.
Therefore my bowels for Moab as a harp do sound, And mine inward parts for Kir-Haresh.
12 Moab miten a houin uva milim hin houvun tin, ahin imacha phachom louding ahi. A pathen koma kap un tin, ahin koima chan amaho ahuhdoh louding ahi.
And it hath come to pass, when it hath been seen, That weary hath been Moab on the high place, And he hath come unto his sanctuary to pray, And is not able.
13 Hiche thudol ho Pakai in phat masa peh a anasei doh ahitai.
This [is] the word that Jehovah hath spoken unto Moab from that time,
14 Ahin tun Pakai in aseije, “Kumthum sunga nisim a simin, Moab loupina chu bei ding ahi. Michujat a kona mi lhomcha bou ahinga kidalha diu ahi.
And now hath Jehovah spoken, saying, 'In three years, as years of an hireling, Lightly esteemed is the honour of Moab, With all the great multitude, And the remnant [is] little, small, not mighty!'
