< Isaiah 19 >
1 Egypt chung changin hitihin thuhil ahunge: Ven! Egypt dou din Pakai meibol chunga atouvin man gangtah in ahung naitai. Egypt a semthu limho akihot ling gam in ahi. Ki chatna Egypt mite lung sunga ajunsah gam tan ahi.
The word about Egypt. See, the Lord is seated on a quick-moving cloud, and is coming to Egypt: and the false gods of Egypt will be troubled at his coming, and the heart of Egypt will be turned to water.
2 “Keiman Egypt te leh Egypt te ka kidou to sahding-sopi leh sopi ki douding, in heng leh in heng ki douding, khopi leh khopi ki douding, gamsung leh gamsung ka kidou sah ding ahi.
And I will send the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they will be fighting every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; town against town, and kingdom against kingdom.
3 Egypt te lung sung hung lhasam intin, chuleh a thilgon hou jong hekhen thei louva ka koi ding ahi. A milim semthu pathen henga chihna thum’a taodingu, chuleh thisa lhagao hotoh ki houho ahin, lhagao dang dang akou dingu ahi.
And the spirit of Egypt will be troubled in her, and I will make her decisions without effect: and they will be turning to the false gods, and to those who make hollow sounds, and to those who have control of spirits, and to those who are wise in secret arts.
4 Keiman Egypt hi mi lungsel tah leh mi khanse tah vaihom khat koma kapeh doh ding ahi. Leng gilou tah khat nin achung'uva vai ahom dingu ahi,” tin Pakai, van janel Pakai chun aseije.
And I will give the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord; and a hard king will be their ruler, says the Lord, the Lord of armies.
5 Nile vadung ho jong hung sangdoh jou pontin, chuleh loumun ho jong twisoh in achap joulou ding ahi. Vadung hojong go gam hel jeng ding ahi.
And the waters of the sea will be cut off, and the river will become dry and waste:
6 Nile twilam hojong kang hel ding, chuleh Egypt a twilong ho jong ui lha jeng ding, pumpeng mon hojong namse lha jeng ding ahi.
And the rivers will have an evil smell; the stream of Egypt will become small and dry: all the water-plants will come to nothing.
7 Vapanga hamhing eng'a eng jouse leh vadung lonna jonna keh, chang le mim ho jouse go gam intin, amut mang soh helding ahi.
The grass-lands by the Nile, and everything planted by the Nile, will become dry, or taken away by the wind, and will come to an end.
8 Ngaman hon atoh diu lhahsam jeh in pul adou diu ahi. Nile munna ngakoi ho chu peng choi choi diu ahin, len sep hochu alung mang diu ahi.
The fishermen will be sad, and all those who put fishing-lines into the Nile will be full of grief, and those whose nets are stretched out on the waters will have sorrow in their hearts.
9 Linum pat phunga um patjang chomkhom ding umpon tin, pon khong hon pat aneilou diu ahi.
And all the workers in linen thread, and those who make cotton cloth, will be put to shame.
10 Lunglha soh keidiu, natong ho jouse alung u natna dim ding ahi.
And the makers of twisted thread will be crushed, and those who ... will be sad in heart.
11 Zoan a thuneiho iti ngol hitao vam! Egypt lengpa thumop phapen apeh ujong ngolthu leh adihlou ahibouve. Pharaoh masanga achihnao akisonpi nah lai diu ham?
The chiefs of Zoan are completely foolish; the wisest guides of Pharaoh have become like beasts: how do you say to Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the offspring of early kings?
12 Miching thumop them nanei houchu hoilanga um uva hitam, Pharaoh? Pathen thil gon hochu nasei peh u hen lang, thaneipen Pakai chun Egypt chunga ipi ahinbol ding ham, seiju hen.
Where, then, are your wise men? let them make clear to you, let them give you knowledge of the purpose of the Lord of armies for Egypt.
13 Zoan thuneiho mingol ahiu vin, chuleh Memphis thuneiho lhep lhah’a um ahiuve. Mipi lamkai hon Egypt chu apui mah thah u ahitai.
The chiefs of Zoan have become foolish, the chiefs of Noph are tricked, the heads of her tribes are the cause of Egypt's wandering out of the way.
14 Pakaijin ngolna lhagao achungu va ahin solin, hichun alunggel hou jouse asu mon ahi. Israel te lung saih nan alhan, lon don donga jukham ho aloh uto abanguve.
The Lord has sent among them a spirit of error: and by them Egypt is turned out of the right way in all her doings, as a man overcome by wine is uncertain in his steps.
15 Egypt in bolthei na imacha aneitapoi. Abonun panpi bei ahitaove-alu lang leh amei lang, lusuna bah leh pumpeng hijong leh ima abolthei ding a umtapoi.
And in Egypt there will be no work for any man, head or tail, high or low, to do.
16 Hiche nikho teng chuleh numei ho banga Egypt te lhasam tah a umdiu ahi. Amaho chu ki im chuh chuh a tijatah a vanmi janel Pakai khut tum noija umdiu ahi.
In that day the Egyptians will be like women: and the land will be shaking with fear because of the waving of the Lord's hand stretched out over it.
17 Israel min kiphah maimai a kona jong tijatna a dim diu ahi. Ajeh chu vanmi janel Pakai chun amaho douna dinga thilgon anei ahitai.
And the land of Judah will become a cause of great fear to Egypt; whenever its name comes to mind, Egypt will be in fear before the Lord of armies because of his purpose against it.
18 Hiche nikho teng chule Egypt a khopi len nga hon vanmi janel Pakai chu ajui dingu ahi. Amahon Hebrew, Canaan pao geija atho dingu ahi. Khopi len khat pen chu Heliopolis, Nisa khopi ahi.
In that day there will be five towns in the land of Egypt using the language of Canaan, and making oaths to the Lord of armies; and one of them will be named, The Town of the Sun.
19 Hiche nikho teng leh Pakai a maicham semna Egypt te lungsunga hung umding ahi. Chuleh Pakai a het jingna thil khat agamgi uva umding ahi.
In that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the middle of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the Lord at the edge of the land.
20 Egypt gam'a vanmi janel Pakai akihou ve ti melchihna leh hettohsah apang ding ahi. Mipin Pakai henga asugenthei houva kona panpina athum teng uleh, aman a huhdoh diu asolpeh ding ahi.
And it will be a sign and a witness to the Lord of armies in the land of Egypt: when they are crying out to the Lord because of their cruel masters, then he will send them a saviour and a strong one to make them free.
21 Pakai chu Egypt mite henga kiphongdoh ding ahi. Pakai chu hin heuvin tin, maicham leh thilto ho ahin todiu ahitai. Pakai a kitepna aneidiu chuleh hichu akolchah beh diu ahitai.
And the Lord will give the knowledge of himself to Egypt, and the Egyptians will give honour to the Lord in that day; they will give him worship with offerings and meal offerings, and will take an oath to the Lord and give effect to it.
22 Pakai in Egypt ahin jepding chuteng chuleh damna ahin pohlut peh ding ahi. Ajehchu Egypt mite chu Pakai henga kihei lut diu, aman ataonao angaipeh a, asuhdam ding ahi.
And the Lord will send punishment on Egypt, and will make them well again; and when they come back to the Lord he will give ear to their prayer and take away their disease.
23 Hiche niteng chule Egypt leh Assyria kikah a lamlhongpi khat hung kijam lut ding ahi. Egypt mite leh Assyria mite agam kikah uva boina beihel a kijotto diu chuleh hingjing Pathen chu ahoudiu ahi.
In that day there will be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and Assyria will come into Egypt, and Egypt will come into Assyria; and the Egyptians will give worship to the Lord together with the Assyrians.
24 Chuleh Israel te toh kisam kaina aneidiu ahi. A thum uva kigom khom diu, chuleh Israel chu anilhon adinga phattheina hiding ahi.
In that day Israel will be the third together with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the earth:
25 Ajehchu van janel Pakai chun hita hi ahinsei ding ahi, “Egypt phatthei changhen, kamite Assyria phatthei changhen, kasem gam Israel phatthei changhen, kagou lupen!”
Because of the blessing of the Lord of armies which he has given them, saying, A blessing on Egypt my people, and on Assyria the work of my hands, and on Israel my heritage.
