Isaiah 23
1 Tyre chung chang thua hitihin thuhil ahunge kap un, Aw Tarshish a um konglen cheng, ajehchu kong kaimun leh Tyre injouse aum gam tapoi! Cyprus akon'a thu kithang najah u chu adih soh kei ahi.
THE WORD CONCERNING TYRE. Howl, you ships of Carthage; for she has perished, and [men] no longer arrive from the land of the Citians: she is led captive.
2 Thipchet nin puldou un, twikhanglen pama umho leh sidon a sumkolvei ho. Na sumkolvei miho chun twipi agal kai tao vin.
To whom are the dwellers in the island become like, the merchants of Phoenice, passing over the sea
3 Twi thuh tah chunga akitol un ahi. Amaho chun chang le mim Egypt gam a konin nahin poh peh un chule Nile joi ah konin nahin poh peh uve. Vannoi in kailhang kiveina mun'a nanei u ahi.
in great waters, a generation of merchants? as when the harvest is gathered in, [so are] these traders with the nations.
4 ahin tun jachat thoh in nakikoi tai, Sidon khopi, ajeh chu Tyre, twikhanglen kulpi chun aseije, “Tun chaneilou kahitai; Chanu leh chapa hojong kanei poi.”
Be ashamed, O Sidon: the sea has said, yes, the strength of the sea has said, I have not travailed, nor brought forth, nor have I brought up young men, nor reared virgins.
5 Tyre chung chang thusoh ho, Egypten ahin jah teng leh lunghem na nasatah hung umding ahi.
Moreover when it shall be heard in Egypt, sorrow shall seize them for Tyre.
6 Tarshish a tun thuthot nin! Kap loi loi un, gamlatah a cheng mipi ho!
Depart you to Carthage; howl, you that dwell in this island.
7 Na khopi kipana leh thanopna mun tia ana kihe chu, tua thipchetna mangthai a bou kihe a hitam? Malai na umchan thusim hi asao mong monge! Kho a cheng mi gamlatah a nasoldoh chu ngaiton.
Was not this your pride from the beginning, before she was given up?
8 Vangsetna Tyre chunga hinlhun sah a, lenggam ho hin phutdoh mihattah chu koi ham? Amite akivei hojong leng chapate ngen ana hiuvin, a sumkolvei miho jong alen alal ngen ana hiuve.
Who has devised this counsel against Tyre? Is she inferior? or has she no strength? her merchants were the glorious princes of the earth.
9 Van janel Pakai chun na kiletsahna suh mang nadinga anabol ahin, leiset chunga dinmun sangtah'a umho asuhnem ding ahi.
The Lord of hosts has purposed to bring down all the pride of the glorious ones, and to disgrace every glorious thing on the earth.
10 Hungun, nangho Tarshish mite, Nile a tuilen bangin agamsung chu theh doh in, ajehchu Tyre in kivenna ding aneitapoi.
Till your land; for ships no more come out of Carthage.
11 Pakai in tuipi chunga akhut ahin jah doh in, leiset lenggam jouse ahin hotlingin ahi, Phoenicia douna thu ahin seijin, akulpiu suhmang din thu ahinpei.
And your hand prevails no more by sea, which troubled kings: the Lord of hosts has given a command concerning Chanaan, to destroy the strength thereof.
12 Hitin aseije, “Nakipa thanop kit tah louhel ding, O Sidon chanu, na kisugam a nahitai. Cyprus gam geijin jam jong lechun, kicholna ding namu louding ahi.”
And [men] shall say, You shall no longer at all continue to insult and injure the daughter of Sidon: and if you depart to the Citians, neither there shall you have rest.
13 Babylon gam khu ven-hiche a cheng gam mite chu a umtapoi je! Assyrian ten Babylon chu nelgam a um gamsa ho apedoh taovin ahi. Bangho a um kimun, leng inpi aphelhao vin, songhal song bong ho aselom taovin ahi.
And [if you depart] to the land of the Chaldeans, this also is laid waste by the Assyrians, for her wall is fallen.
14 Ka pun, O Tarshish kong len ho, ajehchu na kongkaimun uchu akisumang tai!
Howl, you ships of Carthage: for your strong hold is destroyed.
15 Lengpa hinkho chu kum som sagi a saoding, Tyre chu suhmil a umding ahitai. Ahin noti chunga la kisa banga khopi chu hung uldoh kit ding ahi:
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] Tyre shall be left seventy years, as the time of a king, as the time of a man: and it shall come to pass after seventy years, [that] Tyre shall be as the song of a harlot.
16 Selangdah kichoi jin lang, lamlen a vahlen, suhmil a um, notinu. Na kigel doh kit din, awngei tah in nala ho chu sa in.
Take a harp, go about, O city, you harlot that have been forgotten; play well on the harp, sing many [songs], that you may be remembered.
17 Ahi, kum som sagi jouleh Pakai in Tyre asuh thou kit ding ahi. Ahin amasa a sangin lamdang dehlou ding ahi. Vannoi lenggam jouse adinga notinu hikit ding ahi.
And it shall come to pass after the seventy years, [that] God will visit Tyre, and she shall be again restored to her primitive state, and she shall be a mart for all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth.
18 Ahin achaina leh atong jouse Pakai kipe ding ahi. A gou ho kikhol khom louding, amavang Pakai thempuho adin anpha leh vonpha channa a anei diu ahi.
And her trade and her gain shall be holiness to the Lord: it shall not be gathered for them, but for those that dwell before the Lord, [even] all her trade, to eat and drink and be filled, and for a covenant [and] a memorial before the Lord.
