Isaiah 22
1 Jerusalem chung changa thuhil hitin ahunge-Gaova kimu phaicham: Ipi thu um hitam? Inchung sao langa chu ibola mijouse lhai lou vaham?
The burden of the valley of vision. What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops?
2 Khopi sung jouse tijan aboi taove. Ipi kamu hitam kipana a anadim khopi a hi? Thilong ho muntinna akijam in, gala thijong ahipouvin, natna leh kella thi ahibou vui.
You that are full of shouting, a tumultuous city, a joyous town, your slain are not slain with the sword, neither are they dead in battle.
3 Na lamkai hou ajammang gam taove kithuh a pangsa louvin akipedoh jeng taove. Mipi jong a jammang gutnaova mat tup in aum taove.
All your rulers fled away together. They were bound by the archers. All who were found by you were bound together. They fled far away.
4 Hijeh a chu kasei ahi, “Kapdin neidalha uvin; lhepbi ding neigo hih un. Kamite kisuhmang kavet toh kilhonin amaho din kap inge.”
Therefore I said, “Look away from me. I will weep bitterly. Do not labor to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
5 Aw, iti kisuchipdeh gallel nikho hia tam! Lungboina leh tijatna nikho hia hitam, van janel Pakai in ahin lhunsah hi, gaova thilmuna mun phaicham ahi. Jerusalem bang jouse akisuchip tan, molsang jouse akonin mithiho kana husa a kithong jeng jung jengin ahi.
For it is a day of confusion, and of treading down, and of perplexity from the Lord, GOD of Armies, in the valley of vision, a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the mountains.”
6 Elamite ten thalpi a kipoh un, sakol kangtalai holeh a tolthem ho toh ahiuvin ahi. Kir miten galvon ompho ho a tuhdoh taovin ahi.
Elam carried his quiver, with chariots of men and horsemen; and Kir uncovered the shield.
7 Sakol kangtalai jin na phaicham mun hoi jouse hin lon dimin tin, atolhon na kotpi ahin tum hong diu ahi.
Your choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate.
8 Judate kivenna chu sutlhah peh in a um tan, galvon kikoina a galmanchah ladinga nalhai ding ahi.
He took away the covering of Judah; and you looked in that day to the armor in the house of the forest.
9 Jerusalem bang kisuchim chu naga khol chilin, dilneo hoa twi nakholtup in ahi.
You saw the breaches of David’s city, that they were many; and you gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
10 In ho na ga tetoh in, themkhat na phetlhan, bang ho alhou nadin songho nagol challin ahi.
You counted the houses of Jerusalem, and you broke down the houses to fortify the wall.
11 Khopi sung bangho kikah a twikholna khat na sadoh in, dilneo lui a konin twi nakhom tup e. Ahinla, abolpa kom'a panpina nathum naisaipoi. Phat sot a patna hin gong jing Pa nageldoh khapoije.
You also made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you did not look to him who had done this, neither did you have respect for him who planned it long ago.
12 Hiche phat chun Pakai, van janel Pakai chun na kouvin, puldou ding leh kapdin nasole. Na chonset naho jal'in lung lengvai tah in nalu kivomuijin atin, chuleh lung kisih na vetsahnan khaodip pon kivon din aseije.
In that day, the Lord, GOD of Armies, called to weeping, to mourning, to baldness, and to dressing in sackcloth;
13 Ahin alamchom beh in nalam in, na kichemin ahi; na gancha holeh na kelngoi nathat in ahi. Ju leh sa in golnop nabolin ahi. Hiti jong hin na seije, “Neu hitin don uhite, ajehchu jing leh ithi diu ahi! “
and behold, there is joy and gladness, killing cattle and killing sheep, eating meat and drinking wine: “Let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die.”
14 Van janel Pakai chun kei koma ahin seidoh tai: “Nathi nikho a hunglhun masang sen hiche chonset jeh ahi ngaidam nachan lou hel ding ahi. “Hiche hi Pakai, van janel Pakai thutan ahi.
The LORD of Armies revealed himself in my ears, “Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you until you die,” says the Lord, GOD of Armies.
15 Hiche hi ahi Pakai, van janel Pakai in kahenga asei chu: “Shebna, leng inpi vaihom chu kimaitopin chuleh hiche thuhil hi pen:
The Lord, GOD of Armies says, “Go, get yourself to this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the house, and say,
16 “Koihija naki gel a, chuleh hilai jahi ipi nabol a, nakivuina ding khuh hoitah nakisah a, songpi chung sanga hetjing nading na kitun ham?
‘What are you doing here? Who has you here, that you have dug out a tomb here?’ Cutting himself out a tomb on high, chiseling a habitation for himself in the rock!”
17 Ajehchu Pakai in na lemang vahding ahitai, mihatpa. Aman nahung matchah ding ahi,
Behold, the LORD will overcome you and hurl you away violently. Yes, he will grasp you firmly.
18 Kanglum akisea akichon banga naki chon sah ding, chuleh napei a, gam lataha napei mang ding ahi. Hilai achu nahung thi den ding, naloupina kangtalai ho kisusen tin, man thei hilou ding ahitai. Na lamkaipu molphouna nahung hiding ahi!
He will surely wind you around and around, and throw you like a ball into a large country. There you will die, and there the chariots of your glory will be, you disgrace of your lord’s house.
19 “ahi, natoh namun a kona katoldoh ding nahi,” tin Pakai jin aseije. “Nadin mun sangtah'a kona kakai lhah ding nahi.
I will thrust you from your office. You will be pulled down from your station.
20 Hiteng chuleh kasohpa Hilkiah chapa Elaikim, nakhel dinga kakou ding ahi.
It will happen in that day that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah,
21 Amachu na lengvon kakivon sahding chuleh na minvo leh nathuneina kipeding ahitai. Jerusalem leh Judah tedinga mipa hung hiding ahi.
and I will clothe him with your robe, and strengthen him with your belt. I will commit your government into his hand; and he will be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
22 David chenna in kanglong honna kapeh ding-leng thutan namun dia dinmun sangpen ahi. Aman kot ho ahon teng leh koiman akhathei louding, akha teng leh koiman ahon theilou ding ahi.
I will lay the key of David’s house on his shoulder. He will open, and no one will shut. He will shut, and no one will open.
23 A insung ahin choisang ding ahi. Ajeh chu keiman amachu dettah a kakoi ding, Thingkil banga kikhen lut bang ding ahi.
I will fasten him like a nail in a sure place. He will be for a throne of glory to his father’s house.
24 Mopohna lentah peuvin tin, a insungmi aneopen geija choisanga umding ahi.”
They will hang on him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the cups even to all the pitchers.
25 Ahin, van janel Pakai in hitijong hin aseije: “Phat hung lhung ding ahi, thingkil detchet na kikhena angaitou chu, keiman kabo doh ding ahi. Hung doh intin, tol'a lhading ahi. Asuhdet ho puma hunglha mang diu ahi. Keima Pakai in kasei ahi!”
“In that day,” says the LORD of Armies, “the nail that was fastened in a sure place will give way. It will be cut down and fall. The burden that was on it will be cut off, for the LORD has spoken it.”
