Isaiah 21
1 Babylon chung changa hiche thuhil hi kahenga ahunge- twikhanglen gal'a nelgam: Nelgam a konin vangsetna nasatah ging lullul iin nachunga chudin ahungsuh in, Negev akon chingpei in anen aboh apeilut abangin ahi.
The doom of the desert by the sea. As tempests in the south blow with fury; so doth it come from the desert, from a terrible land.
2 Tijat umtah khat gaovin kamun ahi: Mi lhem lha pan mi alheplhah leh misumang pan mi asuhmang kamun ahi. Chetouvin Elamite mite, Medeste, gasat unlang umkhum un. Babylon ten hahsatna asosah u kasuh beiding ahi.
A hard vision hath been told unto me; the traitor dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. “Go up, O 'Elam; besiege, O Media;” all sighing have I caused to cease.
3 Ka oisung anan, meiya kikahsah bangin ana e. Gimna sangtah natna kachunga ahung um'in, naosonat vei kabangin ahi. Pathen thilgon ho kajah teng katha alhasam in ahi; Muding jong kichat nan kadimin ahi.
Therefore are my loins filled with pain; pangs have seized me, like the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I am too much cramped to hear; I am too much dismayed to see.
4 Ka lunggel a kichi ah in, kalungchang alhai thojeng in ahi. Nilhah hung hiding ngahlel in ka um'in, ahin khojin ding tijatnan kadim kitnin ahi.
My heart wandereth astray, dread affrighteth me: the evening of my pleasure hath he turned unto me into terror.
5 Ven! Anja nehding lentah in agong un ahi. Samul pon sa tah mipi ho touna din aphaovin ahi. Mijousen aneuvin, adonuvin ahi. Ahin mang gam diu ahi! Galvon ho kimat unlang, galsat din kigou vun. Nangho nahung sat u ahi!
Prepare the table, put on the candlesticks, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield.
6 Hiche kah sungin, Pakai in kahenga ahung seije, “Khopi bang ho a khongah koijun. Mu aneile hung ao hen.
For thus hath said unto me the Lord, Go, set the watchman, what he seeth let him tell.
7 Sakol hon akai sakol kangtalai ho vehen lang, sangan leh sangonsang chunga touho phaten vehen. Khongah pachu kiging sadem in umhen.”
And he will see chariots, horsemen in couples, riders on asses, riders on camels; and he shall listen diligently with much heed:
8 Hichun khongahpa chu ahung ao in, “Ka Pakai, nisim in khongana chungsang a kana dingin, jan simin ka khonga namun a kana umden jin ahi.”
And he calleth [like] a lion, Upon the watchtower, O Lord, do I stand continually in the daytime, and on my ward am I set all the nights.
9 Tun achainan-ven! Sakol min sakol kangtalai ahin kai chunga toupa khu ahunge. “Hichun khongah pan ahinsei jin, “Babylon chu alhutai, alhutai! Babylon lim semthu hojouse tol lhanga akisukeh gam tai!”
And, behold, here cometh a chariot with men, horsemen in couples, and he commenceth and saith, Fallen, fallen is Babylon; and all the graven images of her gods hath he shivered unto the ground.
10 Vo kamite, ka chilsa leh asi banga kajap dohsa, van janel Pakai seiho jouse chu kasei peh nahitao ve, Israel Pathen in eiseipeh ho jouse chu.
O my down-trodden [people, ] and the son of my threshingfloor: that which I have heard from the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, have I told unto you.
11 Edom chung chang thuhil chu kahenga ahunge; Edom mikhat nin eikou jing jeng in, “Khongahpa jingkah hung lhunna ding sot nalai am? Etih leh jan hi kichai ding ham?”
The doom of Dumah. Unto me one calleth out of Se'ir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?
12 Khongahpan adonbut in, “Jingkah chu ahunge, ahin jan hi hunglhung paiding ahitai. Doh kit ding nanop leh, hung kilen lang dongin.”
The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will desire, desire ye; return, come again.
13 Arabia chung changa thuhil hitihin ahung e: Dedan akon aw kholjin ho, Arabia nelgam a chun kiselun
The doom upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye caravans of Dedanim.
14 O Tema mite, mipi dangchah hodin twi hin domun, gal jam thachol hodin nehding an peuvin.
Toward him that is thirsty they bring water; the inhabitants of the land of Thema meet with suitable bread the fugitive.
15 Amaho hi chemjam akon, thalpi akon, leh gal tijat akon hung jam ahiuve.
Because from the swords are they fled, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the pressure of war.
16 Pakai in kahenga hiti hin aseije, “Kum khat sunga, nisim a simin, Kedar loupina jouse hung bei ding ahi.
For thus hath said the Lord unto me, Within yet one year, like the years of a hired laborer, shall all the glory of Kedar be at an end:
17 Thalkap mi hangsan themkhat bou sohcha ding ahi. Keima, Pakai, Israel Pathen in kaphon doh ahi!”
And the residue of the number of bows of the mighty men of the children of Kedar shall be small; for the Lord the God of Israel hath spoken it.
