Isaiah 31
1 Ipi lungjin nan angao ahitadem Egypt henga panpina thumho, a sakol hou, sakol kangtalaiho chuleh atol ho chunga kinepna aneiyin, Pakai lang vet tah sanga galsat sepai ho hatna in akisong uvin ahi.
Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they do not look to the Holy One of Israel, and they do not seek YHWH.
2 Pakai chu chingtah ahin, vangsetna nasatah ahin lhunsah ding ahi; a lunggel akhel lou ding ahi. Migilou te douna'a hung thoudoh ding chuleh akithopi apang ho adou ding ahi.
Yet he also is wise, and will bring disaster, and will not call back his words, but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against those who help evildoers.
3 Ajehchu Egypt mite hi mihem maimai ahibouvun, Pathen ahipou ve! A sakol hou jong phengai ngen ahiuvin, thanei jong ahipouve! Pakai in amaho douna'a akhuttum ahinjel tengleh akithopi hou hung kipallhu diu, akithopi teu jong lhu diu ahi. Abonun hunglhu untin, thikhom soh keidiu ahi.
Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When YHWH stretches out his hand, both he who helps shall stumble, and he who is helped shall fall, and they all shall be consumed together.
4 Ahin hiche hi ahi Pakai in eiseipeh chu: “Humpi bahkai nou in kelngoi atha'a achunga dinga a ngeh lut lut teng, kelngoi ching ho hontamtah in ging lul lul in poh thethu jong leu atija dehpon ahi. Hiche banga chu, vanmi janel Pakai chu hung kum lhantin, Zion Mol'a asatding ahi.
For thus says YHWH to me, "As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds is called together against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them, so YHWH of hosts will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on its heights.
5 Van janel Pakai chu Jerusalem chung dunga leng lentin, vachan abuh ahuhbit banga ahuh bit ding ahi. Khopi chu adal'a, ahuhdoh ding ahi; achunga galkai lea ahuhdoh ding ahi!”
As birds hovering, so YHWH of hosts will protect Jerusalem. He will protect and deliver it. He will pass over and preserve it."
6 Nangho midouhat migiloutah hijong leu chun, ka mite nahijeh un, hungun lang, Pakai kom'a din hung kile tao vin.
Return to him from whom you have deeply revolted, children of Israel.
7 Niloupi tah khat hung lhung ding ahi ti kahei. Ajeh chu nachonset nau khut in asem thu sana'a kisem leh dangka'a kisem pathen ho amichang cheh in ahin pai mang diu ahi.
For in that day everyone shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold—sin which your own hands have made for you.
8 “Assyria mite chu suhmanga umtei ding ahin, mihem chemjam'a kon hilouding ahi. Pathen chemjam chun asat diu, chuteng kichau va jammang diu ahi. Assyria khangthah hat tah tah hochu gal hinga kaimanga umdiu ahi.
"The Assyrian will fall by the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of mankind, shall devour him. He will flee from the sword, and his young men will become subject to forced labor.
9 Ahat tah jong tija'a kithing diu, chuleh leng chapa tejong na gal ponlap ho amuteng uleh jammang soh keidiu ahitai,” tin Pakai, Zion'a meihal pa, a meikou in Jerusalem apat ahin kousuh sah pan aseijin ahi.
His rock will pass away by reason of terror, and his officers will be afraid of the banner," says YHWH, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
