Isaiah 30
1 “Ipi lung genthei nan na ngao ham, thu'a nunglou kachate ho,” tin Pakai in aseije. “Keija toh akikalin thilgon nanei un ahi. Ka lhagao in adeilou hotoh kigop khomna nanei jun, hichun na chonset nao na sesang toupeh taovin ahi.
Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
2 Ajehchu keima donglou vin, nache suh un Egypt panpina naga thum uve. Pharaoh huhbitna chu natahsan un ahi. Ama lima chun nakisel gu uvin ahi.
That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
3 Ahin Pharaoh natahsan jeh uva suh molphou'a naumdiu, amachunga nakingap jeh uva jachatna a naum diu ahi.
Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt [your] confusion.
4 Ahin thaneina Zoan chan gei a keh beh in um jeng jongleh a noidou ho Hanes gei hung lhung ta jong leu,
For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.
5 ama tahsan jouse chun jumna amudiu ahi. Aman nakithopiu malah a na suhmol phoudiu ahi.”
They were all ashamed of a people [that] could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
6 Negev a gancha ho chung changa thuhil kahenga hitin ahung lhunge; Kholjin hon tijat umtah in nelgam ahin jot nun, Egypt gei adin olin akitolui- ahaonao jouse sangan ho chunga ahin pouvin, agou luhou sangongsao chunga ahin pouve-Egypt ten aventup nadiuva abonna pehding atiu ahi. Gamthip gam ahin jot un, keipi bahkai achal le anu umna mun, gulse ho leh gunei gul ho umna mun ho ahin jotpao vin ahi. Hiche jouse hi ahin, Egypt in imacha nahin pehle lou ding ahi.
The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence [come] the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people [that] shall not profit [them].
7 Egypt kihahselna ho chu panna bei ahibouve! Hijeh chun, Rahab tin kakouve-setna neilou Dragon.
For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength [is] to sit still.
8 Tun chenlang hiche thucheng hohi sun lhan. Lekhabu a sun lut in. Phat kichai kah adinga hettoh sah a pang diu ahitai.
Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:
9 Hichu, hiche mite hi milouchal midouhat ho ahiuvin, Pakai thuhil lunglutna ngaiding nomlou ahiu ve.
That this [is] a rebellious people, lying children, children [that] will not hear the law of the LORD:
10 Mitvah neiho jah'a hitin asei uve, “Themgao ho jah a, Thudih neiseipeh hih uvin. Ngainom um chacha neisei peh uvin. Jouthu leh semthu ho neisei peh un.
Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
11 Lung jin nahi sumil soh in. Nalampi jim akonin kichondoh in Israel Mitheng Pa chungthu neiseh peh u, ngadoh tan.”
Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
12 Hiche hi Israel Mitheng Pan adonbutna ahi: “Kathu seipeh ho namusit jeh leh nabolgim ho, jou le nal natahsan joh jeh in,
Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:
13 phulou helouva vangsetna nachunga hung chu ding ahi-bangho pohdoh a, khikeh a lhuh tobang ding ahi. Apet pet in hung chim lhan tin, bong hel hulin hung lha tan te.
Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.
14 Bel keh banga naki suchip ding ahi-achip dan dan chu halneo khat a jong mei am kiloh theilou, tuikul a kon'a jong tui themkhat chabeh jong kithal thei lou ahi.
And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water [withal] out of the pit.
15 Thaneipen Pakai, Israel Mitheng Pan, hitin aseije: “Ka henga hung kinung le hobou, keija kicholdo hobou huhdoh a na umdiu ahi. Lungneng sel leh tahsan nachu na thahat nao ahi. Ahin khatcha nachan lou diu ahi.
For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.
16 Nangman naseiyin, ' Ahipoi Egypt akon panpina kamu diu ahin, galsat nadinga sakol hattah ho eipeh diu ahi,' nati ahin, gangtah leh hattah namu diu chu ahileh nagal mi teuvin hattah leh gangtah a nahin del diu chu ahi bouve!
But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
17 Alah uva khatnin ahindel ding chu nangho sangkhat hiding ahi. Alah uva nga in nabonu va najamsah soh diu ahi.

Apan pina ngahjing ho chu a nunnom ahiuve.
One thousand [shall flee] at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an hill.
And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD [is] a God of judgment: blessed [are] all they that wait for him.

For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.

And [though] the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:

And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This [is] the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
22 Chuteng na dangka a kisem milim kihou, chule nagou lutah sana'a kisem lim hochu, na suhmang ding ahi. Ponse nen paimang banga na paimang ding, “Phasel to!” tia nasei khum ding ahi.
Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence.

Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.
27 Ven! Pakai chu mun gamlatah akonin ahunge, lungsa pum leh meikhu nasatah in atomkhum in ahi. Amuh hoa lunghan na adimmin; athuho, meiyin asuhmang toh abange.
Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning [with] his anger, and the burden [thereof is] heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:
28 Ahaina hu sat chu tuisoh'a galmi ho ngong chan aphah bangin akisunglha abange. Chitin namtin kiletsah ho chu suhmang dinga asepchil ding ahi. Nahkhao akhi peh'a, mangthai dinga ahoidoh ding ahi.

Ye shall have a song, as in the night [when] a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.

And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of [his] anger, and [with] the flame of a devouring fire, [with] scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.
