Isaiah 13
1 Amoz capa Isaiah ni Babilon hoi kâkuen lah lawk a dei e teh,
The burden of Babylon, which Isaias the son of Amos saw.
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.
Upon the dark mountain lift ye up a banner, exalt the voice, lift up the hand, and let the rulers go into the gates.
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 have commanded my sanctified ones, and have called my strong ones in my wrath, them that rejoice in my glory.
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.
The noise of a multitude in the mountains, as it were of many people, the noise of the sound of kings, of nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts hath given charge to the troops of war.
5 BAWIPA hoi cungtalah, a lungkhueknae senehmaica teh ram buemlah raphoe hanlah, a hlanae ram talai poutnae koehoi a tho awh.
To them that come from a country afar off, from the end of heaven: tile Lord and the instruments of his wrath, to destroy the whole land.
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: it shall come as a destruction from the Lord.
7 Kut kaawm pueng loungkanghawi han. Tami pueng a lung a pout awh han.
Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every heart of man shall melt,
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.
And shall be broken. Gripings and pains shall take hold of them, they shall be in pain as a woman in labour. Every one shall be amazed at his neighbour, their countenances shall be as faces burnt.
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.
Behold, the day of the Lord shall come, a cruel day, and full of indignation, and of wrath, and fury, to lay the land desolate, and to destroy the sinners thereof 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 their brightness shall not display their light: the sun shall be darkened in his rising, and the moon shall not shine with 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 visit the evils of the world, and against the wicked for their iniquity: and I will make the pride of infidels to cease, and will bring down the arrogancy of the mighty.
12 Kai ni taminaw teh sôlêi e sui hlak hai thoseh, Ophir sui hlak hai thoseh ka takang sak han.
A man shall be more precious than gold, yea a man than the finest of gold.
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 this I will trouble the heaven: and the earth shall be moved out of her place, for the indignation of the Lord of hosts, and for the day of his tierce wrath.
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 shall be as a doe fleeing away, and as a sheep: and there shall be none to gather them together: every man shall turn to his own people, and every one 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.
Every one that shall be found, shall be slain: and every one that shall come to their aid, 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.
Their infants shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes: their houses shall be pillaged, and their wives shall be ravished.
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 the Medes against them, who shall not seek silver, nor desire 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.
But with their arrows they shall kill the children, and shall have no pity upon the sucklings of the womb, and their eye shall not spare their sons.
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 that Babylon, glorious among kingdoms, the famous pride of the Chaldeans, shall be even as the Lord destroyed Sodom 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 no more be inhabited for ever, and it shall not be founded unto generation and generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch his tents there, nor shall shepherds rest there.
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 their houses shall be filled with serpents, and ostriches shall dwell there, and the hairy ones shall dance there:
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.
And owls shall answer one another there, in the houses thereof, and sirens in the temples of pleasure.
