Isaiah 24
1 Ven! Pakai in leiset asuhmang ding kon ahitai, chuleh gam ong lentah asoding ahi. Leiset chung asumang in, amite athethang soh tai.
Behold, the Lord will lay waste to the earth, and he will strip it, and he will afflict its surface, and he will scatter its inhabitants.
2 Thempu ho leh milham ho, sohho leh vaihom ho, sohnu holeh inneinu ho, sum hom pa leh sum laho, acho holeh ajoh ho, sum bat sah hole sum pa laho, khat cha soh cha lou ding ahiuve.
And this shall be: as with the people, so with the priest; and as with the servant, so with his master; as with the handmaid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the creditor, so with the debtor.
3 Leiset chung kihin sutheng sel ding chuleh kichom ngimsel ding ahi tin Pakai in aseitai.
The earth will be utterly devastated and utterly plundered. For the Lord has spoken this word.
4 Leiset in pul adou in, a golha gamtai, chuleh lousoh ho a kisumangin, a nang gamtai. Leiset chunga milen tah hojeng jong amah thah gam tai.
The earth mourned, and slipped away, and languished. The world slipped away; the loftiness of the people of the earth was weakened.
5 Amite chonset jeh in, leiset in a thoh gimin ahi. Ajehchu Pathen thuhil hoa pei chavai un, a danthu ho a sukeh un, tonsot'a dinga akitepna asuseh taovin ahi.
And the earth was corrupted by its inhabitants. For they have transgressed the laws, they have changed the ordinance, they have dissipated the everlasting covenant.
6 Hijeh chun, gaosap nan leiset asumang in ahi. Amiten amite chonset jeh a genthei hahsat na ato diu ahi. Meiya akisumang un, mi themkhat bou ahingin akidalhan ahi.
Because of this, a curse will devour the earth, and its inhabitants will sin. And for this reason, its caretakers will become crazed, and few men will be left behind.
7 Lengpi gui ho jong mohseh in akisumang in, ju athah jong a kimu jou tapoi. Kipa thanop bol jouse jong akhoisa un, alung hem uve.
The vintage has mourned. The vine has languished. All those who were rejoicing in their hearts have groaned.
8 Kipa thanop na khong gin athip heltai; golnop a kipa aw thong a kija tapoi. Selangdah a awngeitah a la kisa athip heltai.
The gladness of the drums has ceased. The sound of rejoicing has quieted. The sweetness of stringed instruments has been silenced.
9 Ju leh la a kipa thanop na jouse achemang tan; judu ho judon ho jong akam uva akha tan ahi.
They will not drink wine with a song. The drink will be bitter to those who drink it.
10 Khopi kinchuh chuh in acheh chao in; insung jouse moh ponghung lut ho jeh in akikam soh in ahi.
The city of vanity has been worn away. Every house has been closed up; no one enters.
11 Mipi lamlen ho a akikhomun, ju asam sam jenguve. Kipana chu lungjin asoh tan ahi. Kipana chu hiche gam'a kon chun nomang in aumtai.
There will be a clamor for wine in the streets. All rejoicing has been abandoned. The gladness of the earth has been carried away.
12 Khopi chu mang thai in aki dalhan, a kot hojong akivo lha gam tan ahi.
Solitude is what remains in the city, and calamity will overwhelm its gates.
13 Leiset chung jouse a hiche thusim hi akibange- amoh bou akidalhan, theiphung chunga theichang khat pampet a kidalha tobang, lengpi thei themkhat akikhop tup jouva agui a kidalha tobang hiding ahi.
For so shall it be in the midst of the earth, in the midst of the people: it is as if the few remaining olives are being shaken from the olive tree, and it is like a few clusters of grapes, when the grape harvest has already ended.
14 Ahin dalhah a umjousen kipana jeh in a eu vun, la asaove. Lhumlam a umhon Pakai loupina chu a vahchoi uve
These few shall lift up their voice and give praise. When the Lord will have been glorified, they will make a joyful noise from the sea.
15 Solam gamkaija umhon Pakai loupina apeuve. Twikhanglen gal langpeh a umhon Israel Pathen, Pakai minchu avahchoi un ahi.
Because of this, glorify the Lord in doctrine: the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea.
16 Leiset kolning lang peh a konin vahchoila kisa kajaovin, chonpha Pa loupina kipe la ahi! Ahin kalung sung hi lung genthei nan adim e. Nei kapiu vin, ajehchu agolhapai ding kahi tai. Jouva kibolna ache nalaije, chuleh leptholna hi muntina a um nalaije.
From the ends of the earth, we have heard the praises of the glory of the Just One. And I said: “My secret is for myself! My secret is for myself! Woe to me! Those who would betray us have betrayed us, and they have betrayed us with the betrayal of transgression.”
17 Leiset aum miten, kichat tijatna, kokhuh chuleh thang tamtah nakimai topi diu ahi.
Dread, and the pit, and the snare are over you, O inhabitant of the earth!
18 Tijat na a jamhon kokhuh sunga lhalut untin, kokhuh sunga kona sohcha hon, thang nga hung oh diu ahi. Manthah na hi vanna konna go julha banga hung julha ding ahi; leiset bulpi ho hung kihot ding ahije.
And this shall be: whoever will flee from the voice of dread will fall into the pit. And whoever will extricate himself from the pit will be caught in the snare. For the floodgates from above have been opened, and the foundations of the earth will be shaken.
19 Leiset hi akisu keh tai. Nasatah a chimlha ahitai; Nasatah in akihot in ahi.
The earth will be utterly broken! The earth will be utterly crushed! The earth will be utterly shaken!
20 Leiset hi jukham bangin alon dong dong in ahi. Hui lego in ponbuh asem bangin leiset akithingin, lhu intin thoudoh lou ding ahitai. Ajeh chu dougal asatnao gitlouna chu sangval a ahitai.
The earth will stagger greatly, like a drunken man, and will be carried away, like the tent of a single night. And its iniquity will be heavy upon it, and it will fall and not rise up again.
21 Hiche nikho teng chuleh Pakai in van munhoa um van miho gotna apeh ding chuleh leiset namtin chunga kiletsah tah a vaihom ho gotna apeh ding ahi.
And this shall be: in that day, the Lord will visit upon the armies of the sky above, and upon the kings of the earth who are on the ground.
22 Amaho chu ki umkhum a, songkul'a kikoitup diu ahi. Songkul'a kikam tup chet diu, chule achaina leh gotna sangtah kipe diu ahi.
And they will be gathered together like the gathering of one bundle into a pit. And they will be enclosed in that place, as in a prison. And after many days, they will be visited.
23 Chuteng lha loupina chu hung mang suh cheh intin, nisa vah jong hung nol lha ding ahi, ajehchu vanmi janel Pakai chun Zion lhanga vai ahin hom ding ahi.
And the moon will be ashamed, and the sun will be confounded, when the Lord of hosts will reign on mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and when he will have been glorified in the sight of his elders.
