Isaiah 29
1 “Ipi lunghem nan nanga hitam, Ariel, David khopi. Kumseh le golnop anneh namang jingin.
Woe [to] Ariel, Ariel, The city of the encampment of David! Add year to year, let festivals go around.
2 Hijong leh nachunga manthahna kahin lhut ding, chuleh hichea chu lunghem naleh kana sangtah umding ahi. Ajehchu Jerusalem hi Ariel min kisah akoudoh chu hung hiding ahi-maicham thisan in atom khum.
And I have sent distress to Ariel, And it has been lamentation and mourning, And it has been to me as Ariel.
3 Keima hi nagal mi kahiding, Jerusalem kakol khum'a nabang hou kaphut ding ahi. Kul sangtah'a kasah a, ka suhmang ding ahi.
And I encamped, O babbler, against you, And I laid siege against you—a camp. And I raised up bulwarks against you.
4 Chuteng, leiset thuhtah noija kon'a nahin seiding; leivui noi langa patna nathu hungding ahi. Tol'a kon'a na awgin chu thilha lhannoi akon'a olcha a awgin tobang hiding ahi.
And you have been low, You speak from the earth, And make your saying low from the dust, And your voice has been from the earth, As one having a familiar spirit, And your saying whispers from the dust,
5 Ahin hetman lou in, lungsetna neilou nagal mite chu leivui hoitah banga ki suchip dingu ahi. Na hinsat hou chu huilah a changvai banga delmanga umdiu ahi. Photlot louvin, apet pet nin.
And as small dust has been The multitude of those scattering you, And as chaff passing on the multitude of the terrible, And it has been in an instant—suddenly.
6 Keima, van janel Pakai in nadinga thil kahin bol ding ahi; vang'in, lingki hot leh husa sangtah, chimpei, hui le go kitho leh mi halvam jeng thei meikonga kahung vilding nahi.
You are inspected by YHWH of Hosts, With thunder, and with an earthquake, And great noise, windstorm, and whirlwind, And flame of devouring fire.
7 Chitin namtin Jerusalem douna a galsat ho jouse mang banga manghel diu ahi! A kulpiu nokhum ho jouse jan mang banga manghel diu ahi.
And as a dream, a vision of night, Has been the multitude of all the nations Who are warring against Ariel, And all its warriors, and its bulwark, Even of those distressing her.
8 Gilkel thohpan nehding amang mat in, ahin ahung khah teng leh ana gilkel thou thou ve. Dang chah pan donding a mang mat in, ahin jingkah ahung hiteng leh dang chah in alhachom in ahi. Hitobanga chu na melma teu hung hiding, Zion lhang nokhum ho jong hidiu ahi.”
And it has been, as when the hungry dreams, And behold, he is eating, And he has awoken, And his soul [is] empty, And as when the thirsty dreams, And behold, he is drinking, And he has awoken, And behold, he is weary, And his soul is longing, So is the multitude of all the nations Who are warring against Mount Zion.
9 Na lungdonga natahsan lel ham? Na tahsan lou ham? Hichu ahileh che masan lang khomu lou in umtan. Na ngolbeh buh in ahin ju akon ahipoi! Na lundong dongin ahi, ahin ju akon ahipoi!
Linger and wonder, look, indeed, look, Be drunk, and not with wine, Stagger, and not with strong drink.
10 Ajehchu Pakai in imut lhuh na lhagao nachunga ahin sun lhah ahitai. Na themgao ho leh gao chang ho mit chu a sing tup tan ahi.
For YHWH has poured out a spirit of deep sleep on you, And He closes your eyes—the prophets, And your heads—the seers—He covered.
11 Ahung lhung ding thilsoh ding jouse gaova kimu hi amaho a dinga lekhabu Mohor kinam khum tobang ahi. Asim thei ding ho napeh teng leh, hitia hi aseidingu ahi. “Mohor a kinam khum jeh in kasim theipouve” atidiu ahi.
And the vision of the whole is to you, As words of the sealed scroll, That they give to one knowing scrolls, Saying, “Please read this,” And he has said, “I am not able, for it [is] sealed”;
12 Asimthei louho napeh teng leh, hitia hi aseidiu ahi, “Iti simdiham kahepou ve,” atidiu ahi.
And the scroll is given to him who has not known scrolls, Saying, “Please read this,” And he has said, “I have not known scrolls.”
13 Hijeh chun Pakai in aseije, “Hiche mite hin amaho hi keija ahi tin aseijuve. Akam un ei jabol un, ahin alungu keija konin agam lhai. Eihou u jong hi ima ahipoi, ahin mihem semthu danthu holeh mohchin chin thu a bou ahi.
And the Lord says: “Because this people has drawn near with its mouth, And they have honored Me with its lips, And it has put its heart far off from Me, And their fear of Me is a precept taught by men!
14 Hiche jeh ahi, keiman avel'a mipha lhem ho paomo leova hatah a adatmo na diuva kakoi ding ahi. Miching chihna chu hung mangin tin, chihna nei hetna ho hung beiding ahitai.”
Therefore, behold, I am adding to do wonderfully with this people, A wonder, and a marvel, And the wisdom of its wise ones has perished, And the understanding of its intelligent ones hides itself.”
15 Ipi lung genthei nan a nga u ahita dem, Pakai kom'a kon athilgon hou selmang guhon, muthim noi'a thilse bolhon! “Pakai in eimu thei pouvin, ipi ibol'u jong ahepoi,” tin asei juve.
Woe [to] those going deep from YHWH to hide counsel, And whose works have been in darkness. And they say, “Who is seeing us? And who is knowing us?”
16 Ichan gei'a hung ngol ding nahi tam? Amachu beldengpa ahin, amachu tahbeh in nang leingan sanga lenjo ahi! “Aman eisem ahipoi,” tia thilsem in asempa kom'a aseiding ham? “Eisem pa beldengpa hi mingol ahi, “tia bel in aseikhah mong ding ham?
Your perversion! Is the potter esteemed as clay, That the work says of its maker, “He has not made me?” And the framed thing said of its framer, “He did not understand?”
17 Mangang tah'a-geisang behseh talou ding- Lebanon gammang lah ho chu loupha lai hung soh in tin, lousoh tampi asosah ding ahi.
Is it not yet a very little [while], And Lebanon has turned into a fruitful field, And the fruitful field is reckoned for a forest?
18 Hiche niteng chuleh lekhabua thucheng kisim, nangong in ajahding, chule mitchon lungjin naleh muthim amu ding ahi.
And the deaf have heard the words of a scroll in that day, And out of thick darkness, and out of darkness, The eyes of the blind see.
19 Mi kineosah hon Pakai akon'a kipana thahbeh amudim sohdiu ahi. Migenthei ho chu Israel Mitheng Pa a kipah thanom diu ahi.
And the humble have added joy in YHWH, And the poor among men Rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 Mi ija seplou ho umtalou diu, mi kithupi sah ho mangthah diu, chuleh thilpha lou bolgoho kithat diu ahi.
For the terrible one has ceased, And the scorner has been consumed, And all watching for iniquity have been cut off,
21 Mona neilou themmo chansah ho mangthah diu ahi. Thutandih lamhilouva hei mangho leh mona neiloi suhmang nadinga jou sei hon akibang chet gotna kipe chu chang diu ahi.
Who cause men to sin in word, And lay a snare for a reprover in the gate, And turn aside the righteous into emptiness.
22 Hijeh achu Pakai, Abraham huhdoh pan, Israel mite henga aseijin, “Kamite jachatna a hung um talou diu, kichat jeh a dang kehkoh talou diu ahi.
Therefore, thus said YHWH, Who ransomed Abraham, Concerning the house of Jacob: “Jacob is not ashamed now, Nor does his face now become pale,
23 Ajehchu achateu tamtah ahin mu tengu leh, phatthei na jouse achateu kaboh khum amu tengu leh Israel Mitheng Pa thenselna chu ahin hetdoh diu ahi. Jacob Pathen mai'a kichatah a ding diu ahi.
For in his seeing his children, The work of My hand, in his midst, They sanctify My Name, And have sanctified the Holy One of Jacob, And they declare the God of Israel fearful.
24 Ngol thit thet hon hettheina hin nei untin, phun sehon kihilna asandiu ahi.
And the erring in spirit have known understanding, And murmurers learn doctrine!”
