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 maketh the earth empty and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.
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 it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, 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 shall be utterly emptied, and clean despoiled; for the LORD hath 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 fainteth and fadeth away, the world faileth and fadeth away, the lofty people of the earth do fail.
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.
The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statute, broken 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.
Therefore hath a curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are found guilty; therefore the inhabitants of the earth waste away, and men are left few.
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 new wine faileth, the vine fadeth; all the merry-hearted do sigh.
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 mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.
9 Ju leh la a kipa thanop na jouse achemang tan; judu ho judon ho jong akam uva akha tan ahi.
They drink not wine with a song; strong drink is bitter to them that drink it.
10 Khopi kinchuh chuh in acheh chao in; insung jouse moh ponghung lut ho jeh in akikam soh in ahi.
Broken down is the city of wasteness; every house is shut up, that none may come in.
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 is a crying in the streets amidst the wine; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.
12 Khopi chu mang thai in aki dalhan, a kot hojong akivo lha gam tan ahi.
In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten unto ruin.
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 thus shall it be in the midst of the earth, among the peoples, as at the beating of an olive-tree, as at the gleanings when the vintage is done.
14 Ahin dalhah a umjousen kipana jeh in a eu vun, la asaove. Lhumlam a umhon Pakai loupina chu a vahchoi uve
Those yonder lift up their voice, they sing for joy; for the majesty of the LORD they shout from the sea:
15 Solam gamkaija umhon Pakai loupina apeuve. Twikhanglen gal langpeh a umhon Israel Pathen, Pakai minchu avahchoi un ahi.
'Therefore glorify ye the LORD in the regions of light, even the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, in the isles 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 uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs: 'Glory to the righteous.' But I say: I waste away, I waste away, woe is me! The treacherous deal treacherously; yea, the treacherous deal very treacherously.
17 Leiset aum miten, kichat tijatna, kokhuh chuleh thang tamtah nakimai topi diu ahi.
Terror, and the pit, and the trap, are upon thee, 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 it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the terror shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the trap; for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth do shake;
19 Leiset hi akisu keh tai. Nasatah a chimlha ahitai; Nasatah in akihot in ahi.
The earth is broken, broken down, the earth is crumbled in pieces, the earth trembleth and tottereth;
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 reeleth to and fro like a drunken man, and swayeth to and fro as a lodge; and the transgression thereof is heavy upon it, and it shall fall, and not rise 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 it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD will punish the host of the high heaven on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
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 shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the dungeon, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be punished.
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.
Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for the LORD of hosts will reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before His elders shall be Glory.
