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 does it mean to you, then, that each of you have even climbed to the rooftops?
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.
Filled with clamor, a busy city, an exultant city: your dead have not been slain by the sword, nor did they die 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 leaders have fled together, and they have been bound by hardship. All who were found were chained together. They have 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.”
For this reason, I said: “Depart from me. I will weep bitterly. Make no attempt to console me, over the devastation 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 death, and of trampling, and of weeping to the Lord, the God of hosts, in the valley of vision: examining the wall and the magnificence above the mountain.
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.
And Elam took up the quiver and the chariot of the horseman; and he stripped the wall of the shield.
7 Sakol kangtalai jin na phaicham mun hoi jouse hin lon dimin tin, atolhon na kotpi ahin tum hong diu ahi.
And your elect valleys will be filled with chariots, and the horsemen will position themselves at the gates.
8 Judate kivenna chu sutlhah peh in a um tan, galvon kikoina a galmanchah ladinga nalhai ding ahi.
And the covering of Judah will be exposed, and in that day, you will see the weaponry of the forest house.
9 Jerusalem bang kisuchim chu naga khol chilin, dilneo hoa twi nakholtup in ahi.
And you will see breaches in the city of David, for these have been multiplied. But you have gathered together the waters of the lower fish-pool.
10 In ho na ga tetoh in, themkhat na phetlhan, bang ho alhou nadin songho nagol challin ahi.
And you have numbered the houses of Jerusalem. And you have destroyed the houses in order 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.
And you have made a pit between two walls for the waters of the ancient fish-pool. But you have not gazed upward to him who made it, and you have not considered, even from a distance, its Maker.
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.
And in that day, the Lord, the God of hosts, will call to weeping and mourning, to baldness and the wearing of 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! “
But behold: gladness and rejoicing, the killing of calves and the slaughter of rams, the eating of meat and the drinking of wine: “Let us 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.
And the voice of the Lord of hosts was revealed in my ears: “Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you, until you die,” says the Lord, the God of hosts.
15 Hiche hi ahi Pakai, van janel Pakai in kahenga asei chu: “Shebna, leng inpi vaihom chu kimaitopin chuleh hiche thuhil hi pen:
Thus says the Lord, the God of hosts: Go forth and enter to him who lives in the tabernacle, to Shebna, who is in charge of the temple, and you shall say to him:
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 here, or who are you claiming to be here? For you have hewn a sepulcher for yourself here. You have diligently hewn a memorial in a rock, as a tabernacle to yourself.
17 Ajehchu Pakai in na lemang vahding ahitai, mihatpa. Aman nahung matchah ding ahi,
Behold, the Lord will cause you to be carried away, like a domesticated rooster, and he will remove you, like an outer garment.
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 crown you with a crown of tribulation. He will toss you like a ball into a broad and spacious land. There you will die, and there the chariot of your glory will be, for it is a shame to the house of your Lord.”
19 “ahi, natoh namun a kona katoldoh ding nahi,” tin Pakai jin aseije. “Nadin mun sangtah'a kona kakai lhah ding nahi.
And I will expel you from your station, and I will depose you from your ministry.
20 Hiteng chuleh kasohpa Hilkiah chapa Elaikim, nakhel dinga kakou ding ahi.
And this shall be in that day: 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 vestment, and I will strengthen him with your belt, and I will give your authority to his hand. And he shall be like 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.
And I will place the key of the house of David upon his shoulder. And when he opens, no one will close. And when he closes, 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.
And I will fasten him like a peg in a trustworthy place. And he will be upon a throne of glory in the house of his father.
24 Mopohna lentah peuvin tin, a insungmi aneopen geija choisanga umding ahi.”
And they will suspend over him all the glory of his father’s house: various kinds of vessels and every little article, from the vessels of bowls even to every instrument of music.
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 hosts, the peg which was fastened in a trustworthy place shall be taken away. And he will be broken, and he will fall, and he will perish, along with all that had depended upon him, because the Lord has spoken it.
