Isaiah 3
1 Pakai, van galsatte Pakai chun, Jerusalem le Judah ten akingainau athil jouseu, achanglhah lhon jouseu le atwi jouseu alahpeh ding,
For look, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah supply and support, the whole supply of bread, and the whole supply of water;
2 Apasal hat jouseu le agal-hang jouseu chule athutanhou le athemgaohou, athempuhou le upa ho panna-a,
the mighty man, the man of war, the judge, the prophet, the diviner, the elder,
3 Galsat lamkaiho le avaihom lamkailenho, thumop-ho chule khutthemho le ahsi lekhathemho jouse kitolmang diu ahi.
the captain of fifty, the honorable man, the counselor, the skilled craftsman, and the clever enchanter.
4 Keiman chapang khangdongho chu alamkaiyuva kapansah ding, chapang chachan achunguva vai ahop diu ahi.
And I will make youths to be their leaders, and capricious children shall rule over them.
5 Chuteng khatnin khat abol genthei ding, mihem khat chun mihem khat abol gentheiya chule amitinin aheng-akom abol genthei ding ahi. Khangdonghon jong upa ho ahin noise diu, milham maimai ho’n jong jaumtah miho chu anuisatnuva anoise diu ahi.
The people will be oppressed, everyone by another, and everyone by his neighbor. The child will behave himself proudly against the old man, and the base against the honorable.
6 Hiche nikho lam chuleh pasal khat chun asopipa henga, “Nangin sangkhol chol naneiyin, kalamkaiyuva napan’a nangma vaihom nanoiya ikilamkai diu ahi,” ati ding ahi.
Indeed a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying, "You have clothing, you be our ruler, and let this ruin be under your control."
7 Ahinlah amapa chun ahindonbut ding, “Kanompoi! Kei pangthei ponge. Ajehchu keiman anneh ding le ponsil ding kahaopoi. Hijehchun mopohna lathei ponge!” ati ding ahi.
In that day he will cry out, saying, I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing. You shall not make me ruler of the people.
8 Ijeh-inem itileh Jerusalem hung kipallhuding, Judah jong hung lhuding ahi. Ijeh-inem itileh amahon Pakai dounan thu aseiyun, Pakai thupeh ajuinom pouve. Chule Pakai maichangtaha taitomna aneikhumun ahi.
For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
9 Amaisou chun ahinau aphongdohun, Sodom mite bangin lhangphongtahin achonseuvin ahi. Achonsetnau selmangin aumtapon, Ohe! ada ahilhontai. Amanthahna diu amahon achamuva akiboldoh-u ahibouve.
The look of their faces testify against them. They parade their sin like Sodom. They do not hide it. Woe to their soul. For they have brought disaster upon themselves.
10 Midihho vang chu seipeh-un, amaho dinga ijakai phasoh ding ahi. Atohphat gau akisan diu ahi!
Tell the righteous "Good." For they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.
11 Ohe migilouho vang mangthah diu ahi. Ajehchu agitlounau ga chu ahibangtaha akimu diu ahi.
Woe to the wicked. Disaster is upon them; for the work of his hands will be done to him.
12 Chapang tobang lamkaiho chun kamite asugentheiyun, numeihon jong avaihopkhumui. O kamite, nalamkaihovin nahin pui lamvai tauvin, lamdihlouva nahin pui tauve.
As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. My people, those who lead you cause you to err, and destroy the way of your paths.
13 Pakaiyin thutanna mun alotan, amite thutanpeh dingin atoutai.
The LORD stands up to contend, and stands to judge his people.
14 Pakai chu athutanna phongdoh dingin ahung naiyin, mipi vaihom ho le upa ho thu atanin, “Nanghon kalengpilei, Israel nachom tauve. Nainsunguvah migentheiho thil nachomhou akisedimset tai.
The LORD will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and their leaders: "It is you who have eaten up the vineyard. The spoil of the poor is in your houses.
15 Ipi nakingapchatnauva kamite nachotphauva, mivaichate maichang chu leivui toh nagoithau ham?” tiin Pakai, van galsatte Pakai chun aseiye.
What do you mean that you crush my people, and grind the face of the poor?" says the LORD of hosts.
16 Pakaiyin hiti’n aseiyin, “Vetlomtah Zion hi akihoithosah-in, angong avaiputnin, amitnin mi alhemngolin, kihoithosahtahin akal asepmin, akeng-ngonga chaocha ging lhinglheng pumin lam ajotne.
Moreover the LORD said, "Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with outstretched necks and flirting eyes, walking to trip as they go, jingling ornaments on their feet;
17 Hijeha chu Pakaiyin Zion Chanute chu alujangu pat dehduh-a ahin koi ding, alu-u tol gamding ahi.
therefore the LORD brings sores on the crown of the head of the women of Zion, and the LORD will make their scalps bald."
18 Thupi tan nikho chuleh Pakaiyin akicheihoinau jouse anoimangpeh diu, alu-uva akop-uleh akhi-ou kisan asutlhahpeh ding,
In that day the LORD will take away the beauty of their anklets, the headbands, the crescent necklaces,
19 Abilbahou, achaochau, amaikhuhou,
the earrings, the bracelets, the veils,
20 Apon lutom le bantom, kengngonga aki-ou chaochaho, konga kivei diel jouse asutlhahpeh ding chule lunglathei kicheihoinaho le thaonamtuiho;
the headdresses, the ankle chains, the sashes, the perfume bottles, the charms,
21 Khutjem, khi-o,
the signet rings, the nose rings,
22 Golvahni vonho, sangkholcholho, sangkhol-bantong le sumbomho,
the fine robes, the capes, the cloaks, the purses,
23 Phatvet, tupat ponnem, lujemhoiho chule ponsilho aboncha kilahdohpeh ding ahi.
the hand mirrors, the fine linen garments, the tiaras, and the shawls.
24 Gimnamtui nam talouva aui-athang joh nam diu, diel khella khaojang akigah diu, asam jolsellu jong pullhasoh ding ahi. Chule pon-ah hoitah khella khaodip-pon hamthethu akiah diu, jumnan amelhoina jouseu alekhu ding ahi.
It shall happen that instead of sweet spices, there shall be rottenness; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of well set hair, baldness; instead of a robe, a girding of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.
25 Khopia pasalho chu chemjama kithatgam ding chule agal-hat-hou jong kidouna pholla thiden diu ahitai.
Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty in the war.
26 Zion kelkot phunga chu kana le puldouna umding, akhopi chu numei kisuse-kisuthanghoi tolla kikhelpha-den tobang hiding ahi.
Her gates shall lament and mourn; and she shall be desolate and sit on the ground.
