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 makes the earth empty, makes it waste, turns it upside down, and scatters 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.
It will 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 creditor, so with the debtor; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest.
3 Leiset chung kihin sutheng sel ding chuleh kichom ngimsel ding ahi tin Pakai in aseitai.
The earth will be utterly emptied and utterly laid waste; 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 mourns and fades away. The world languishes and fades away. The lofty people of the earth languish.
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 polluted under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, and 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 the curse has devoured the earth, and those who dwell therein are found guilty. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left.
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 mourns. The vine languishes. All the merry-hearted 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 tambourines ceases. The sound of those who rejoice ends. The joy of the harp ceases.
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. Strong 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 confused city is broken down. Every house is shut up, that no man 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 because of 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.
The city is left in desolation, and the gate is struck with destruction.
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 it will be so within the earth among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive tree, as 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
These shall lift up their voice. They will shout for the majesty of the LORD. They cry aloud from the sea.
15 Solam gamkaija umhon Pakai loupina apeuve. Twikhanglen gal langpeh a umhon Israel Pathen, Pakai minchu avahchoi un ahi.
Therefore glorify the LORD in the east, even 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 uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs. Glory to the righteous! But I said, “I pine away! I pine away! woe is me!” The treacherous have dealt treacherously. Yes, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.
17 Leiset aum miten, kichat tijatna, kokhuh chuleh thang tamtah nakimai topi diu ahi.
Fear, the pit, and the snare are on you who inhabit 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.
It will happen that he who flees from the noise of the fear will fall into the pit; and he who comes up out of the middle of the pit will be taken in the snare; for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble.
19 Leiset hi akisu keh tai. Nasatah a chimlha ahitai; Nasatah in akihot in ahi.
The earth is utterly broken. The earth is torn apart. The earth is shaken violently.
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 like a drunken man, and will sway back and forth like a hammock. Its disobedience will be heavy on it, and it will 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.
It will happen in that day that the LORD will punish the army of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth on 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.
They will be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and will be shut up in the 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.
Then the moon will be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for the LORD of Hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem; and glory will be before his elders.
