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 oracle on the desert of the sea: As storm-winds in the South which with a rush from the desert, do come 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.
[So] hath, a grievous vision, been told me: —the deceiver, is deceiving. And the spoiler, is spoiling, Go up, O Elam Besiege O Media, All the sighing she hath caused, have I made 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.
For this cause, are my loins filled with anguish, Pangs, have seized me, as the pangs of her that is giving birth, —I writhe so that I cannot hear, I tremble, so that 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 fluttereth, A horror, terrifieth me, —My twilight of pleasure, hath he turned for me into a time of trembling.
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!
[Ye thought] to prepare the table—spread the mat—eat—drink! …Arise ye chieftains 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 My Lord said unto me, —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.”
When he seeth A train of horsemen in double rank, A train of asses, A train of camels, Then shall he hearken attentively with diligent 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 cried he. A lion! On the watch, O My Lord, had I been standing continually, by day, And at my post, had I been stationed whole 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!”
When lo! here was a train of men coming. With horsemen in double rank, —And one began and said, Fallen! fallen! is Babylon, And all the images of her gods, are smashed 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 thou My threshing! And the grain of my corn-floor! That which I have heard from Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, Have I declared, 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 oracle on Dumah: Unto me, is one crying—out of Seir, Watchman! how far gone is the night? Watchman, how far gone is the night?
12 Khongahpan adonbut in, “Jingkah chu ahunge, ahin jan hi hunglhung paiding ahitai. Doh kit ding nanop leh, hung kilen lang dongin.”
Said the watchman, There cometh a morning. But also a night, —If ye will enquire, enquire, ye—Come, again!
13 Arabia chung changa thuhil hitihin ahung e: Dedan akon aw kholjin ho, Arabia nelgam a chun kiselun
The oracle on Arabia, —Among the shrubs in Arabia, must ye lodge, Ye caravans of Dedanites.
14 O Tema mite, mipi dangchah hodin twi hin domun, gal jam thachol hodin nehding an peuvin.
To meet the thirsty, bring ye water, —Ye dwellers in the land of Tema; With bread for him, get in advance of him that is in flight!
15 Amaho hi chemjam akon, thalpi akon, leh gal tijat akon hung jam ahiuve.
For, before swords, have they fled: Before a sword that is drawn, Before a bow that is bent, And before the stress 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 My Lord said unto me, —Within a year according to the yearn of a hireling, shall fail all the glory of Kedar;
17 Thalkap mi hangsan themkhat bou sohcha ding ahi. Keima, Pakai, Israel Pathen in kaphon doh ahi!”
And, the remnant of the record of bowmen, The heroes of the sons of Kedar, shall become few; For Yahweh God of Israel, hath spoken.
