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 prophecy concerning the desert of the sea. As storms which rush along through the south, So it cometh from the desert, From the 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 grievous vision was revealed to me; The plunderer plundereth, and the destroyer destroyeth. “Go up, O Elam! Besiege, O Media! All sighing do I make 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 full of pain; Pangs have seized me, as the pangs of a woman in travail; For convulsions I cannot hear; For anguish I cannot 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 panteth, Terror hath seized upon me; The evening of my desire is changed into horror.
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!
The table is prepared; the watch is set; They eat; they drink; “Arise, ye princes! 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 said the Lord unto me: “Go, set a watchman, Who shall declare what he seeth.”
7 Sakol hon akai sakol kangtalai ho vehen lang, sangan leh sangonsang chunga touho phaten vehen. Khongah pachu kiging sadem in umhen.”
And he saw a troop, horsemen in pairs, Riders on asses, and riders on camels, And he watched with the utmost 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.”
Then he cried like a lion: “My Lord, I stand continually upon the watch-tower in the daytime, And keep my post all the night;
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, there cometh a troop, Horsemen in pairs.” Again also he lifted up his voice, and said: “Fallen, fallen is Babylon, And all the graven images of her gods are cast broken to 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 threshing, and the corn of my floor! What I have heard from Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, That have I declared to 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 prophecy concerning Dumah. A voice came to me from Seir: “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 saith: “Morning cometh, and also night. If ye will inquire, inquire! Return, come!”
13 Arabia chung changa thuhil hitihin ahung e: Dedan akon aw kholjin ho, Arabia nelgam a chun kiselun
The prophecy against the Arabians. In the thickets of Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye caravans of Dedan!
14 O Tema mite, mipi dangchah hodin twi hin domun, gal jam thachol hodin nehding an peuvin.
The inhabitants of the land of Tema Bring water to the thirsty; They come to meet the fugitive with bread.
15 Amaho hi chemjam akon, thalpi akon, leh gal tijat akon hung jam ahiuve.
For they flee from swords, From the drawn sword, And from the bent bow, And from the fury of war.
16 Pakai in kahenga hiti hin aseije, “Kum khat sunga, nisim a simin, Kedar loupina jouse hung bei ding ahi.
For thus saith the Lord to me: Within one year, according to the years of a hireling, Shall all the glory of Kedar be consumed.
17 Thalkap mi hangsan themkhat bou sohcha ding ahi. Keima, Pakai, Israel Pathen in kaphon doh ahi!”
The remainder of the mighty bowmen of the sons of Kedar shall be diminished; For Jehovah, the God of Israel, hath said it.
