Isaiah 13
1 Amoz capa Isaiah ni Babilon hoi kâkuen lah lawk a dei e teh,
THE VISION WHICH ESAIAS SON OF AMOS SAW AGAINST BABYLON.
2 Ka nga e mon dawk luen awh nateh, mitnout hah ung awh haw. Kacaipounglah hramki awh. Na kut hah kahek awh. Ahnimouh teh, nangmouh onae longkha thung kâen awh naseh.
Lift up a standard on the mountain of the plain, exalt the voice to them, beckon with the hand, open [the gates], ye rulers.
3 Kai ni ka thoungsak e naw koe lawk ka thui toe. Kai ni ka poe e lentoenae dawkvah, a lung kahawi e, athakaawme taminaw hah ka lungkhuek e a roum nahanelah, ka kaw toe.
I give command, and I bring them: giants are coming to fulfil my wrath, rejoicing at the same time and insulting.
4 Monsom e pawlawk teh tamihupui e pawlawk doeh. Miphunnaw uknaeram kamkhuengnae koe ruengruengti e pawlawk, hoi ransahu BAWIPA teh taran tuk hanlah a kâcai.
A voice of many nations on the mountains, [even] like [to that] of many nations; a voice of kings and nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts has given command to a war-like nation,
5 BAWIPA hoi cungtalah, a lungkhueknae senehmaica teh ram buemlah raphoe hanlah, a hlanae ram talai poutnae koehoi a tho awh.
to come from a land afar off, from the utmost foundation of heaven; the Lord and his warriors [are coming] to destroy all the world.
6 BAWIPA e hnin teh a hnai toung dawkvah, khuikap awh haw. Athakasaipounge ni a rawk sak nahane hnin teh a tho han.
Howl ye, for the day of the Lord is near, and destruction from God shall arrive.
7 Kut kaawm pueng loungkanghawi han. Tami pueng a lung a pout awh han.
Therefore every hand shall become powerless, and every soul of man shall be dismayed.
8 Lungpuen hoi awm awh vaiteh, patawnae aphunphun ni a cusin han. Camokhe patawnae ka khang e napui patetlah patawnae khang awh vaiteh, buet touh hoi buet touh a kâkhet awh toteh, ahnimae minhmai teh hmaipalai patetlah ao han.
The elders shall be troubled, and pangs shall seize them, as of a woman in travail: and they shall mourn one to another, and shall be amazed, and shall change their countenance as a flame.
9 Khenhaw! BAWIPA e hnin teh a tho lahun. A lungkhueknae, a lungkâannae hoi hote ram hah kingdi vaiteh, khocaramca tamikayonnaw hah peng raphoe hanelah a tho lahun.
For behold! the day of the Lord is coming which cannot be escaped, [a day] of wrath and anger, to make the world desolate, and to destroy sinners out of it.
10 Kalvan âsinaw hoi âsihunaw teh ang awh mahoeh. Kanî hai a tâco navah a hmo vaiteh, thapa hai ang mahoeh.
For the stars of heaven, and Orion, and all the host of heaven, shall not give their light; and it shall be dark at sunrise, and the moon shall not give her light.
11 Talaivan ni a yonnae hai thoseh, tamikathoutnaw e a payonnae hai thoseh, runae ka poe han. A lung kalennaw e kâoupnae hah ka pout sak vaiteh, kakaisuenaw e dudamnae hah ka pabo han.
And I will command evils for the whole world, and [will visit] their sins on the ungodly: and I will destroy the pride of transgressors, and will bring low the pride of the haughty.
12 Kai ni taminaw teh sôlêi e sui hlak hai thoseh, Ophir sui hlak hai thoseh ka takang sak han.
And they that are left shall be more precious than gold tried in the fire; and a man shall be more precious than the stone that is in Suphir.
13 Hatdawkvah, ransahu BAWIPA e a lungkhueknae hah, a lungphuennae hnin dawkvah, kalvan kahuet vaiteh, talai hai ama onae hmuen koehoi a kâtahruet han.
For the heaven shall be enraged, and the earth shall be shaken from her foundation, because of the fierce anger of the Lord of hosts, in the day in which his wrath shall come on.
14 Tami pueng teh kahrawng pâlei e sayuk sakhi patetlah a yawng awh vaiteh, kapâkhuengkung kaawm hoeh e tunaw patetlah awm awh vaiteh, amamae miphun koelah kamlang awh vaiteh, amamae ram dawk a yawng awh han.
And they that are left shall be as a fleeing fawn, and as a stray sheep, and there shall be none to gather [them]: so that a man shall turn back to his people, and a man shall flee to his own land.
15 A kâhmo awh e pueng thut lah awm vaiteh, a man awh e pueng teh tahloi hoi thei lah ao han.
For whosoever shall be taken shall be overcome; and they that are gathered together shall fall by the sword.
16 Ahnimae a canaw hai amamae hmaitung vah, doukkâlat lah talai dawk raphet awh vaiteh, ahnimae imnaw teh peng a raphoe pouh han. A yunaw hah a pacekpahlek pouh awh han.
And they shall dash their children before their eyes; and they shall spoil their houses, and shall take their wives.
17 Khenhaw! Medesnaw hah ka hroecoe pouh han. Ahnimouh teh, sui hah banglahai ngâi awh mahoeh, ngun hai ngai awh mahoeh.
Behold, I will stir up against you the Medes, who do not regard silver, neither have they need of gold.
18 Ahnimouh ni thoundounnaw hah licung hoi a thei han. Ahnimouh ni a thun thung e camonaw hai pahrennae tawn awh mahoeh. Ahnimae mit ni camocanaw hah pasai awh mahoeh.
They shall break the bows of the young men; and they shall have no mercy on your children; nor shall their eyes spare thy children.
19 Uknaeram pueng hlak ka bawilen e Babilon, Khaldean taminaw ni kâoupnae lah kaawm e Babilon kho teh, Cathut ni a raphoe e Sodom hoi Gomorrah kho patetlah ao han.
And Babylon, which is called glorious by the king of the Chaldeans, shall be as [when] God overthrew Sodoma, and Gomorrha.
20 Hote kho dawk nâtuek hai tami khosak mahoeh toe. Bangpatet e Arabnaw hai hote hmuen koe rim sak mahoeh toe. Bangpatet e tukhoum ni hai hote hmuen koe a tunaw hah tabawk sak mahoeh.
It shall never be inhabited, neither shall any enter into it for many generations: neither shall the Arabians pass through it; nor shall shepherds at all rest in it.
21 Hatei, thingyeiyawn sarangnaw teh hote hmuen koe a tabo awh han. Ahnimae imnaw teh kacaikaringe moithang hoi akawi han. Kalaukvanaw ni ao nah vaiteh, Athanaw a coukdouk awh han.
But wild beasts shall rest there; and the houses shall be filled with howling; and monsters shall rest there, and devils shall dance there, and satyrs shall dwell there; and hedgehogs shall make their nests in their houses. It will come soon, and will not tarry.
22 Asuinaw ni kho longkha rapannaw koe thoseh, kahrawnguinaw ni imnaw dawk thoseh, a cairing awh han. Hote kho dawk atueng nâsittouh ao hoehnahlan a tho han. Hote tueng hai saw mahoeh.
