Isaiah 28
1 Ipi lung gentheinan anga hitam Samaria khopi kiletsahna adim chun-Israel jukham ho loupina lal lukhuh chu. Phaicham leipha laiya chun atouvin ahin, ahoi aloupina chu pahcha banga mollha ding ahi. Mite kiletsahna chu ju’n apuilhah ding ahi.
WOE to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine!
2 Ajehchu Pakai in adou dinga galsat hattah ho asol ding ahi. Hui leh gel hattah ahung juh lhah banga huipin twikhanglen asemdil jeng banga, tol jep na anei ding ahi.
Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.
3 Samaria kihoitho sahna khopi-Israel jukham ho loupina lal lukhuh gal mite kengto noija chotpha umding ahi.
The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:
4 Phaicham lei phalai achun atouvin, ahin ahoina loupi chu pahcha banga mollha ding ahi. Koi hijongleh amu achun asalhah ding, theichang ga masa kiloulha a, kinepai bang ding ahi.
And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.
5 Achaina leh van Janel Pakai, amatah chu Israel loupina lallukhuh hung hiding ahi. Amite amoh cheng sedinga akipanao leh aki choi at nao hung hiding ahi.
In that day shall the Lord of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people,
6 Thutandih a tan nom na lungthim a thutan vaihom ho apeh ding ahi. Kotpi ngah a um gal hang ho han sanna apeh ding ahi.
And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.
7 Ahijeng vang'in tun, Israel chu ju kham in alon dong dong in ahi. Thempu holeh themgao ho jong jukham in alon le leuvin, ju in bou akisalel taovin ahi. Mu anei naova jong amuchen tapouvin, akham jeh un thulhuhna jong apethei tapouve.
But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.
8 A dokhang chung’u jong loh in atom dim in; muntin anen soh keitai.
For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.
9 “Pakai in eiho koi ihiu a gel em?” tin adong uve. “Aman ipi dinga hitia hi eihou u ham? Naonoi chep haitil chapang neo ihiu ham?
Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.
10 Aman avel avel in eiseipeh uvin-phat khatna thugol khat, phat khatna thugol khat, hilai a themkhat, khulanga chu them khat,” ati ding ahi.
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
11 Hijeh a chu tua hi Pakai in amite henga, gamchom mi sugenthei hon pao kidang atho banguva, ahoulim pidiu ahi!
For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
12 Pathen’in amite henga hitin aseije, “Hilai ahin kicholngah na mun a ume; thachol ho hilai ahin kichol uhen. Hilai mun hi thipchetna kichol na ahi.” Ahin amahon ana ngai pouve.
To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
13 Hijeh a chu Pakai in thuhil amite ahin peh kitding, thugol chunga thugol, thugol chunga thugol, hilai a themkhat chuleh khulanga themkhat, hitia chu amaho kipal a lhudiu ahi. Amaho chu kisukha diu, Oh diu, chuleh mattup a umdiu ahi.
But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
14 Hijeh chun, Pakai akona thuhil hunglhung hi ngaijun nangho mi ija seplou Jerusalem a thunei leh vaihom ho.
Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15 Hitihin na kisonge, “Thina lhemlha din kinoptona kanei uvin, chule thivui namun peldoh din thulhuhna kanei taovin ahi. Manthah na hung lhung chun eisuhkhah louhel diu ahi. Ajehchu jou le lheplhah na akon in kichol dona lhouding tahkhat kasao ve.” (Sheol h7585)
Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: (Sheol h7585)
16 Hijeh chun, thanei pen Pakai in aseije: “Ven! Keiman bulphu na songpi Jerusalem'a katunge, dettah le hoitah song ahi. Inning song man tamtah, achunga insah nadia jong lhou tah hiding ahi. A tahsan chan chu kilong louhel ding ahi.
Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
17 Thutan dihna golkai na manga ka patep ding, chonphatna chu athuh adon vetna ka man ding ahi. Na kisel nachu jouva kisem ahijeh'in, huise gel in ano lhah ding ahi. Lhep lhahna akon ahijeh'in, tuilen in alhoh mang ding ahi.
Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 Thina joulhep nadia na kihou toh nao kasuh haiding ahin, thina lhankhuh peldoh ding natiu jong kale hei ding ahi. Tijat umtah galmi ho ahung teng uleh, tol'a chotpha a naum diu ahi. (Sheol h7585)
And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it. (Sheol h7585)
19 Avel avel a tui hung len ding, jingkah sim jingkah seh a, sun le jan'a puimanga na um kah a.” Hiche thuhil hin namite asuh tijat dingu ahi.
From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.
20 Na jalkhun chu lup nadin achom val e. Samulpon hojong aneo val in, na kisil khop lou ding ahi.
For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.
21 Perazim lhanga philistines douna anei banga Pakai chu hung ding ahin, Gibeon a Amorites te douna atoh bang ding ahi. Thil kidang tah bol a hung ding ahi; bolkhah louhel bol dia hung ding ahi.
For the Lord shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.
22 Ajeh chu Pakai, van janel Pakai chun gamsung jouse suhmang ding hi ka tupten ahi tin jangpet in aseijin ahi, Hijeh chun ija selouvin koi tahih in, achutilouleh gotna nachan chu sang cheh ding ahi.
Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord God of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.
23 Ka thusei hi ngaijun; lunglut tah in hung naijun lang, ngaijun.
Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.
24 Lou bolpan muchi tulouva, lou alhojing jeng ding ham? Muchi ima tulou hel'a lei alholho jeng ding ham?
Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground?
25 Lei alho chaiteng hiche muchi ho hi atuji hilou ham?- Lengmusel, jira, gehu, butun, chuleh suhlou chang-amun cheh'a kitu ji ahi.
When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their place?
26 Loubol pan ipi abol ding akihet nin, ajehchu Pathenin het theina apeh ahi.
For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him.
27 Lengmusel jepnan sehlentah akimangji poi; mol jangkhai joh in akijep jin ahi. Kangtalai jong jira chunga a kitang poi; chusangin, jangtah in avohna mol a, akivoji boivin ahi.
For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod.
28 Changlhah ding chang chu bailam tah in akisudi thei jin, hijeh achu asuhdi jing louding ahi. Achunga kangtalai a lih khum in, ahinla asubong joudeh poi.
Bread corn is bruised; because he will not ever be threshing it, nor break it with the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it with his horsemen.
29 Van janel Pakai hi mihil kidangtah leh loubol ho hetna sangtah pe’a chu ahi.
This also cometh forth from the Lord of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working.
